Dollarbird - Budget Calendar

Don’t bother subscribing it unless you want to experience tons of bugs and never hear from the support. I gave them chance few times and my money and time is just wasted.

User-friendly and even the free version is very good for keeping track of expenses.

Why???!!?

Everytime you start the app it always ask for log in.

Bug in importing data from Dollarbird classic caused my transactions in the new version to be doubled. App crashes a lot. I can't even use it without internet. Data takes too long to display. Used the app for two months, I'll go back to Dollarbird classic. I don't think this version is ready to be released yet.

Always been a fan of the Dollarbird app, but I find the previous version's interface better.

I love this app so much!! It really helps me see where my money is going daily. Only thing, could y’all add a few widget options? One were I can see the calendar without having to open up the app?? Other than that, it’s perfect!!

This is exactly what I was looking for to replace another app that is no longer available. I would give it 5 stars but I just can’t stand subscriptions. Give us the option to buy lifetime access to premium!

*Update* Still have the balance glitch mentioned in my review years ago. Also, I loved the idea of entering transfers between calendars except that, after you’ve made the entry, if you update the transfer in any way it doesn’t make the same update on the associated calendar. *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’ve tried a bunch of budgeting apps, but Dollarbird is the only one that actually works for me. It’s manual, which means I get to make my own categories and really see where my money’s going not just what some algorithm thinks. The calendar view is super helpful, and the yearly expense reports make it easy to spot patterns and plan ahead. It’s simple, clear, and gives me full control. Honestly, this app deserves way more love.
