Download YNAB, get good at money, and never worry about money again.

-Kyle, YNAB user since 2020

Start your free one-month trial and stop feeling like you’re bad at money. 

“YNAB has removed the stress of money from my life and in doing so has helped make me a better husband. It's like I got to remove a personal flaw I had never been able to fix." 
-Kyle, again. We didn’t even pay him to say this, but maybe we should.

## YNAB Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Additional Features Request"
Please add in the reflect section an income vs expenses report and something to show what your monthly average income is
-- ahmedlei, 2025-05-30

### *---- "Not free at all"
The only thing they offer for free is a month and then you pay for everything thereafter.
-- mmarcussm1, 2025-01-18

### *---- "Entirely subscription based"
Like the title says, this app will require a subscription to even work. No free features at all. For an app that’s offering to help users save money, there has to be some irony in there. 
Already deleted my account within a few hours of downloading the app.
-- bird yellow, 2025-01-18

### *---- "It’s a no from me"
Oh my goodness. Complicated for no reason whatsoever. Literally impossible to make quick changes without a PhD in linguistic gymnastics. Convoluted navigation experience. Deleting now. Keep the money.
-- Disappointed User 1971, 2023-10-21

### *---- "Bugs not fixed"
Missing menu bar still missing. Can’t make any changes in the App.
Subscription cancel.
-- Pilotguyflying, 2023-03-12

### *---- "No waay"
Why on earth is it soo complex... Geez *delete app*
-- all nicknames are taken🙄, 2022-05-15

### ***** "Great app"
One I started to truly understand what YNAB was trying to achieve, it became the best app I have ever purchased.
-- Thando man, 2021-12-27

### ***** "Thank you YNAB!"
Saving my sanity (and my finances) for many years now. Highly recommend
-- wearealreadyfree, 2020-12-27

### ***** "The best budgeting app"
I've been a subscriber for years and I would recommend YNAB to everyone. It has been invaluable to our marriage too.
The reason I subtracted one star is there are some features I would love to see added to the App (they're available on the web):
• Searching for budget categories, and
• the ability to change the balance of an account
-- naudeZA, 2020-04-01

### ***** "Wonderful"
Such a great app. It’s helped me save so much money and it really keeps me on top of my finances. I highly recommend it.
-- Sphynx16, 2019-04-18

### ***** "Excellent app, even better client service!"
This app looks complicated at first but the quick tutorials help you master it in a few minutes. I don’t know how I ever managed without this app. 

Their client service is fantastic, with quick email responses and the online chat is excellent and very helpful. 

I wish I could rate the app 10 stars - it deserves even more than that!
-- OckertR1, 2019-03-01

### ***** "Home base for your finances"
Hey team 
Absolutely love the experience of being a YNABer (included in that is the weekly podcast with things to think about and implement)
It’s a great birds eye view of where all things money are in your life with the ability to get granular. 
One detail I’d like to request you consider adding is a “paid on behalf of someone” feature which I used to good effect on my budgeting spreadsheet before YNAB 
Basic premise is I’d have a few cells with bank account balances, below that I’d have a section for expenses still to be paid and incomes due to me. As money was spent it would affect bank accounts and budget line items. 
I often have it that I pay for let’s say accommodation for numerous people under one booking then would like to track (and not forget about it) money owed too me. 
Would it be possible to add this in some shape or form? 
Thank you!
-- Bernz117, 2018-08-10

### ***** "Best budget app ever!"
I’ve used many many many budget apps before this. I can wholeheartedly say that YNAB, the philosophy behind it and the ongoing support and training the developers provide is world class and with EVERY penny!
-- Oddkyle, 2018-06-09

### ****- "Best budget app, would be better if could attach receipts"
I love this app. It’s the only quick and easy budget app out there that lets me stay on top of my spending from my mobile phone without it feeling like a chore. The only thing that’s missing for me is the ability to snap a photo of a receipt and attach it to a transaction. This would really make my life easy when it come to filing my taxes. I find myself using the colour labels to highlight the transactions I can claim from Tax, my partner can claim from tax, and I can  claim from my employer. I generally keep the slips and they pile up and it’s difficult to go back and find them. If I could just attach the slips when I log a transaction, or upload my transaction history, and notice the slip needing to be attached then I would totally rate this 5 stars. I really hope that you decide to include this as a feature. It feels like a no-brained for a budget app as awesome as yours.
-- vaugun, 2018-03-17

### ****- "Helps a lot"
One feature that can help is adding a feature to read bank transaction notification sms messages and add a to-be-approved transaction to ynab.
-- Johannes M, 2017-12-20

### *---- "Ms"
I cannot open the app with my correct Apple ID (keeps telling me "that email is incorrect ")!
-- Minioils, 2016-02-01
