Unspent FAQ
Is Unspent free?
Yes, Unspent is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Unspent legit?
🤔 The Unspent app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I really like how you can put your money in your own categories and subtract what you spend as you go. I like using this when I travel. The only issue I have with it is that you can’t use a decimal point to enter a change amount. That would be a nice upgrade idea.
APP UPDATE
Would truly love a cosmetic update to this app! I still use it because no other apps work even remotely like it. Simply making it compatible and updated for IPhone 12 and later would be amazing! Please update this app!
This app is one of the most amazing apps I have used and keeps me honest when budgeting and making purchases.
Is this still being supported?
Seems there is no longer any support. Doesn’t work with new Apple watches- bummer it was a good app.
If anyone is still supporting this app, monthly or weekly rollover amounts and budget limits with amount left would be cool. Also syncing for people with significant others/shared expenses.
Simple and perfect!
Exactly what I needed to keep track of my cash sinking funds. I can quickly add or subtract amounts with no hassle like other apps. Very clean and simple app!
Very helpful, but missing one key feature
Would be nice if this synced with my wife’s phone so we could keep up with our spending together.
Great for me!
This is a quick, easy way for me to track expenditures for $$ spent on gifts for kids/family members. This makes it simple to balance amounts spent for Christmas and birthdays and “just because” gifts so no feels left out. A couple clicks and it’s updated, and easy to see at a glance.
Great for Dave Ramsey-style “Envelope” Tracking
I really love this app! It’s very, very simple but I find that’s what works for me over some of the flashier budgeting apps like Mint and ProActive Budget, etc.
I’ve been inspired by Dave Ramsey to do a cash envelope system to get out of debt and this is the perfect app for digitally tracking my envelopes and keeping track of what my cash funds are while I’m not at home.
I really like that the interface is no-nonsense, just subtract or add your purchases or money and you’re good to go! I think I’ve downloaded 10 budgeting apps but this is the perfect one for me.
I’d love to see an update where the main font was just a little smaller, but for 99 cents I really have no complaints and plan to keep using this well into the future!
Disappointed!! No decimal addition is possible
Who creates a ‘number app’ without the possibility of adding decimals in them? Thoroughly disappointed. Should’ve checked the reviews before spending my money on it.
Need decimals
Impulse buy because it looked perfect for my needs. Started using and surprised to learn all entries have to be rounded to next dollar. If you want to track large expenses, this is a good app. Not very good for little items though.
Simple, easy, no bugs
Great, simple app to track categories of expenses. No issues with bugs. Wish it would give a grand total of all the categories together so you can see what your total balance is.
