HomeBudget with Sync

Hi, I was not able to add recurring expenses retrospectively. After that, this excellently looking app scored 0 for me.

It has take years now without any development in software. iCloud support still missing and desktop version feels more like early alpha. Support dont answer to e-Mail’s so assuming that there isnt comming any development to software in future neither. Now in years seen just minor bug fixes. So better use youre money to something modern. It was great program, but for 2020 time has passed by and developer pretty much abandoned software.

Paras budjetti ohjelma! Kannattaa ladata. Toivon kuitenkin kokoajan lisää ominaisuuksia tähän ohjelmaan, vaikka nyttenkin sen täydellinen. Nice job!

While the HomeBudget has shown itself to be the best of all the financial apps that I tested before settling on buying this one there are a few improvements that I would like to see implemented. The app concentrates far too much on bills, in reality most of a households expenses will be spent on shopping and thereby not many bills will be handled, per se. Hence while billing works well in the app entering receips from shopping unnecessarily cumbersome. Some features I would like to see in order to make this a 5 star app: - Simplicity when entering shopping receips. - Being able to photograph the bill you have just entered so that the paper copy can be thrown away. - The reporting tools need to be vastly improved, they need to provide far more detail and function as these tools are the ones that allow a household to track and improve its finances.

I found a bug and reported it. Never heard back from the developer after multiple attempts. I’ve been a user for 4-5 years. Disappointed in the lack of a response. Save your money and go with a more dependable app (developer).

I tried a lot of budget apps, free and paid. What I like about this app is it gives you a lot of the flexibility and control you get with a serious accounting app without the complex setup those often require. For instance, you can completely customize the Categories and Subcategories to get the kind of financial picture that works best for you. You can also do somewhat tricky things like set both a ‘positive’ cost budget and ‘negative’ income budget that cancel out to show you your real discretionary income after “pass-thru” costs. It’s also easy to track both regular balances, like your checking, savings and cash, as well as credit card debt and loans and make transfers between these accounts. The bill calendar can show these recurring transfers as bills since, after all, they end up being part of your month-over-month liabilities. The ‘reconciliation’ feature can really help you if you cultivate a habit of doing it since it helps you track the difference between pending and posted balances. And, of course, a big part of the paid features is the family feature where multiple users and devices can work in the same accounts and everything stays in-sync. In short, the fact that this app is simple and doesn’t try to automate too much for you is part of its strength because it keeps it highly flexible and customizable.

I downloaded this app less than 24 hours ago after browsing the App Store on my iPhone. As a former Mint user still searching for a suitable replacement, my initial thoughts are mixed. After purchasing the full version, I discovered that neither of my banking institutions are in the app's database for linking (Service credit union and Credit Karma). This was a major disappointment. I've submitted a request to the developers to add these banks. Additionally, I'm unsure if the app frequently communicates with the banks to pull recent transactions, which would prevent the need to manually add each transaction. Another issue I noticed is that the app counts future income transactions in the current balance before the date they are received. This distorts the current balance, making it difficult to accurately assess available funds. Lastly, while the payee section is a nice feature, it lacks preloaded information, requiring manual entry for all details. For those with 20+ accounts to manage, this can be quite tedious without preloaded transaction information.

My wife and I have been using this app for several years as a way to keep track of our finances. It has the ability to update itself cross platform for both my PC, my Mac, along with my iPhone, and my wife’s iPhone this allows us to easily enter our purchases and categorize them. I really like the fact that you can add Canadian accounts, and it will automatically convert the currency. You can then easily create a report that categorizes you’re spending or export it as a csv file for excel.

How do you pull your money amount from previous month versus starting at zero? Bought app and April went gear then May 1st hit and couldn’t see money in the account ? Help out

I’ve been using this app for about 6 years now and it has truly helped my get my finances in order. I was initially looking for an app that didn’t sync to my bank accounts so I could manually enter my expenses which helped me realize how poorly I was managing my money. I don’t even want to know where I’d be now if I hadn’t found this app. 🫣
