Oolong

This app is a hit for visual learners like myself! The ability to insert my income and (what feels like endless) expenses in two simple steps, makes it impossible to go wrong. The visuals of it all has allowed me to see how much money I will be saving a month from now, or even a year from now. Oolong’s clean and simple design has shown me more about my spending habits than any other app I’ve used and graphically shown the ebb and flows of my monthly budget. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a handle of their budget without the overwhelming layers and steps that are in abundance with the mainstream budgeting apps.

It’s a neat app, but the negatives are enough to knock off a few stars: - There is no widget to input expenses, making it cumbersome to use in day to day life. - There is no import/export function to backup data - It’s $15 for a lifetime subscription yet the app has no track record. There is no way to know they will continue updating, so that’s pretty steep for an app that is essentially in beta.

This year I’m getting married and hoping to build an awesome nest egg for my new family. The other apps offer a good bird eye’s view of where my money has been, but I wanted something that shows where my money is going, this is the app!
