Dollarbird - Budget Calendar

Only graphics need to be improve. All Other features are good than other expense managing apps

This app has helped me manage my income and expenses like a charm. So simple yet effective. I recommend it to everyone.

This app has made me be debt free! It has helped me do better at budgeting. I’ve recommended this app to lots of my friends!

*Update* I’m disappointed they have not been able to fix the glitches. Frequently, when looking out a few months or more, the months show a brief balance before switching to show completely different balances. It’s as tough it’s perpetually trying to catch ch up from some changed entry but, for the life of me, I can never figure out which entry is causing the glitch. It always starts at 3 to 4 months out and carry’s through ever month beyond. It is extremely frustrating when trying to plan by quarter. I’m knocking one star because this has been an on and off issue for years now. *** I can’t believe how hard it is to find a calendar based budget app that works. I like that I don’t have to link my bank accounts. I pay full price and will continue to do so. The rest of my comments are in hopes the developer will make improvements. It does act “glitchy” and recently actually crashes when entering/moving a lot of transactions. It seems slow to update each transaction and I often find myself waiting for it to catch up, even with fast Wi-Fi. I find the search feature notion to be clunky. Sometimes it works but sometimes it only pulls up confirmed transactions instead of allowing me to see other planned transactions. It’s hard to get used to the fact that upcoming expenses are reflected in balance forecast but today’s expenses are not reflected until they are confirmed. The following are just wishes, but may not be for everyone: I also wish there was a way to track various “sinking fund” balances for cash savings (like the envelope system). And I wish the overall balance could be split to reflect the 3 different bank accounts I use.

I lived by this app forever . It was amazing and I referred multiple people. They just did an update with “auto forecast” which can’t be turned off. It is now impossible to see what you’re account will ACTUALLY look like since it auto calculates.

This app has saved me so many times when I’ve struggled to budget. Seeing my finances spelled out on a calendar and being able to keep track of payments has been so helpful and relieves my stress. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with managing their $ or anyone who’s always anxious about their budgeting.

I will say while I’ve been a long time user and subscriber, I’m rethinking it. Every time I reopen my app and log a transaction it asks for access to all my photos. Why does a financial app need this? Invasion of privacy. I selected limit photos because there’s no reason to need all access. It’s very unpleasant and suspicious. Please remove these annoying requests that I have to dismiss every single time I open it. This has only been a thing recently. It did not used to behave this way - frustrating as heck.

Cancelling subscription. App wont connect and doesnt work offline.

My wife and I use Dollarbird diligently. It has helped us to never overspend and predict future cash balances. I like the fact you have to insert the expenses yourself on top of the automatic expenses you have set up, it keeps you accountable. We set up several calendars that work together. Also set up a different team that tracks any possible debt and helps to predict when we will pay it off.

This is perfect for predicting your bank balance daily, based on bills and charges you track
