--

HomeBudget is an integrated expense tracker designed to help you track your expenses, income, bills-due and account balances. It offers support for budgeting, and allows analysis of your expenses and income, including charts and graphs. Two key differentiating features of HomeBudget are:

1. Integrated set of features. The features within HomeBudget are well integrated such that a bill can become an expense (when you pay for it) and also adjust the account balance at the same time.

2. Family sync. HomeBudget includes Family Sync, an advanced feature that allows a group of devices within the household to exchange expense and income information, and work together within a single budget. Once setup, the devices sync with each other automatically over the air. Family Sync works across all features including Bills and Accounts. Please refer to the Family Sync Quick Start guide at http://www.anishu.com for information on configuring Family Sync.

HomeBudget Lite (w/ Sync) App Comments & Reviews

HomeBudget Lite (w/ Sync) Positive Reviews

So farSo far this app is really cool. I like that you split expense categories but, I would really love to see split accounts for ways of paying. Example paid my restaurant bill on credit card but left cash as a tip. Or had a gift card for part of the meal and paid cash. Or at a grocery store, you pay with a snap card and part you pay cash. So you can split the expenses up but not the ways of paying on the same receipt without making a separate entry. Fix that, and this is close to 5 stars..Version: 3.5.1

It is impossible to change its home currencyI’m using its paid version. Very good app. BUT: I started living in another country and I wanted to change its home currency. Nope! It has no CSV backup and restore, only binary. No income definition ability..Version: 3.5.1

Great!Best Budgeting app that I’ve ever used! The only thing I wish you could do is go back to previous months from the home screen of the app and not have to go into specific sections to do so..Version: 3.3.3

Functionally feature rich, not intuitiveOne of the cornerstones of an iPhone/iPad app is its ease of use - its intuitiveness. This is especially true for a home budget app, where its users need to open the app, enter some data quickly and not bother too much about what to press or how much information to enter. This isn't true for HomeBudget Lite. I evaluated it in the hope that I'd end up buying the full app, but sadly, the app wasn't uset friendly at all, to the point where I found myself getting irritated by it - and I've been a seasoned iPhone user for 4 years. For example, what's with the not allowing users to enter data unless they press the '>' button every time? Simply let them press the edit box and enter data! Feature-wise, I've no complaints, and it has everything that a home budget app could need. I won't purchase it until the creators make it much more user friendly..Version: 2.6.4

Best expense tracker availableI have downloaded most of the free versions of expense tracking applications and this is the best I have found. It is very nice that it allows to enter recurrent income and expenses, it allows to track different accounts (credit, debit, cash, savings, checking, you name it!) and transactions from one to the other. Categories are editable and the info can be downloaded to excel. Reports are graphic and actually useful (this is important, there are some applications whose reports are really useless!). This application, however, doesn't track currencies (hey, sometimes we have to travel to different countries!). I highly recomend trying those "lite" versions before buying anything. There is one expense tracker on the loose whose decimal point doesn't work! Anyway, I'm just about to buy the paid version: this tool allows me to track all my accounts and any transfer from one to another, reports are wisely organized and displayed and so far salary can be set on automatic. In a little while I will know what I do with my money, and I will be able to save! Now, beware, if I end up buying a mac computer, I will try to program a better application! ;-) Try this one. There is only another good aplication, also with an orange logo!.Version: 0

Great budget app!Great app that allows you to set recurring bills and income and money in multiple accounts. I like the calendar view of all bills and if they are paid or not. And i love the notifications, very helpful. Also like that a payment for a bill can be spread in up to 6 payments (great for car insurance) although this isn't clear until you select the bill to make a "payment". Wish list: 1- I wish pay-days could also be marked on the calendar. 2- that bills could be marked as auto-debit. 3- that I could mark a one-time bill as recurring later on, 4- and be able to get a total for bills due within a certain period of time, such as a total for due bill in-between pay periods. Oh, you guys need to add an upgrade to full-version option in the lite version, this way the user entries won't be lost and promotes upgrade to paid version..Version: 0

Could be great, but lacking one essential thing...I love the simplicity of this program, how intuitive it is, the look & customization, but it is missing one essential element that I am sure a lot of us can use...easy integration with Quicken. A lot of people use Quicken on their home computers for a more robust application and the fact it helps at tax time with Turbo Tax. Lets face it we're all on the go & having your financial application to add expenses on the fly is great. Who wants to spend the extra time to re-enter everything again later? If this could easily export to .qif I would be "The app" to beat & perfect. If you don't use another financial application elsewhere this would be perfect; however, if track expenses elsewhere you might want to think twice. In regards to a previous review.... I've had no problem with making 10/5 entries. The program has been very stable..Version: 0

Good but a few flawsThe only finance app I found that allowed syncing between multiple Touches and iPad. Family syncing failed when I used special character for password. No way to change group password so you have to create a new group. Developer responsive to emails about the issue but if its a known issue it should be posted somewhere or better yet fixed to support truly secure passwords. Would be better if you could import from csv or other data types for bank data, otherwise it'll be a lot of manual entries. Ultimately I'm undecided on purchasing full app, the only thing keeping me is the family group..Version: 0

Very good app for budgetingI was able to quickly add all my accounts (bank, credit cards, etc) as well as setup my bills (one time and reoccurring). This app works great with alerting me when my bills are due. I set it to alert me a week in advance. However, there's one thing that I'd like for it to have that I didn't see. I have several bills that are setup for automatic billing. It would be great if I could also set these bills an have them deduct automatically when the time comes. If this feature is there and I simply missed it, then this app deserves a 5 star rating. It may not connect to my real accounts like Pageonce, but then I'm perfectly fine with that..Version: 2.6.1

HelpfulI'm not sure why everyone's upset about not being able to go past 10 expense entries and 5 income entries because it says it in the description. It is a lite version, so if you're planning to download this, just think of this as a trial version to see if you like it before you spend your money on the full version. Overall, it's helpful, but I give it 4 stars since it doesn't have a clear way to deal with credit card balances and payments, I ended up making up my own category for this. Other than that, I like the way it's set up and the many different views..Version: 0

Bugs needs to be fixedI have only 8 expenses and 1 income entries .The overall concept is great, but there are some bugs must be fixed: Family Sync is not functioning properly between my PC and my Iphone, delayed and incomplete Sync which makes this feature worthless. When i tried to contact the support team via the app form itself, it failed to send my feedback. So i used my yahoo mail, the reply i got was this "Family Sync works properly only with the paid version". The last issue is am not able attach any scanned receipts or any JPG images..Version: 2.9.2

I love this app!!I have used GoodBudget for a year and got tired of the confusing ”Add money to envelope” process as well as my red budget bar all-year round. Tried several other top-rated budget apps but finally decided to stick to this one. Here is why: 1. It’s AD-free 2. Free Home sync 3. Very neat and aesthetic interface with a white background and colorful icons. You can assign the desired icons to categories, which is a fun way to personalize the app. 4. Easy to track spendings and create reports. You can even create sub-types within a category of expenses. 5. When reporting the amount of a spending, the calculator pops up, sooo convenient. There is one suggestion though. I wish I could open the dropdown list by tapping anywhere on the tab, not necessarily on the arrow mark on the leftside. Still, I find this the best app for someone that simply wants to track their spending and not bother from other unnecessary and confusing functions..Version: 3.2.0

Very useful!I have tested about six similar Apps. in this category. This one is the winner. The PROS: Keep in mind this is the Lite version but I was able to edit and delete default categories and create my own and create sub-categories. It allows user to move categories around so they can be organized in any way the user prefers. My personal preference is to have the categories in alpha sequence. It allows user to track more than one account. Nice pie chart. I will get the full version.. Recommended..Version: 0

Great tool!I really like this app. I did a lot of searching and review reading before getting this one. I even downloaded a couple other lite budget apps only to delete them after using this one. It takes some time to set up and configure the way you want it but once you do it's great! It's very well thought out and easy to use. In the future I would like to see an easier or quicker way to add expenses/transactions and a graph option under each budget catagory. I would also love a place to track savings..Version: 0

I Finally found it!!!I've had an iPhone for four years and have been anxiously waiting for an app like this the whole time. I don't like the apps that just sync with the bank and guess on upcoming expenses I love to be fully aware of what my money is doing at all times. I really love the family sync. Thank you for letting me try it before I buy it. I've tried at least a dozen other financial apps and nothing comes close to this one. Time to go make the greatest $4.99 investment of my life. Thanks Again..Version: 2.8.2

My daily go to!!I love this app!! I have been using for about a year now and won't go without it. I haven't had the trouble people are talking about. I did have trouble syncing at first with my iPad. But I just realized that when I sent the initial data transfer that I had to accept it on all devices again. That fixed that problem. :) It hasn't let me down. Just wanted to let the makers know that there are some very pleased customers out here. Thanks for a great product!!.Version: 2.8.7

Love the App!!I downloaded a different expense tracker before and it didn't really work the way I wanted it to. This app is great. Does everything I want it to, so far, and it looks great. I wish it had more entries as far as type of expense but it's good that I can enter my own. More icons would be good as well. The free version was limited to so many entries so I bought the full verison. Looks like there was a vastly improving update so I'm right on time. Satisfied as of today..Version: 0

Try it out!I am writing this after spending a good deal of time searching for a personal finance app. My searching has come to stop. After spending some time using this trial version, I wanted to write a review because I love it so much. It is simple, and it is proactive which are the two features I wanted. My recommendation? Check out the trial, but be warned: you will want to buy the full version like I will be doing as soon as I submit this review!.Version: 0

Too ComplicatedAlthough this app is interesting, it is too complicated. It's design is different from what I prefer, and the format cannot be changed. I like how there aren't any ads, the option to upgrade, and the picture addition. By taking pictures of receipts, this creates another credential to my purchases, which many financial apps don't have. Overall, there are several nice aspects but collectively, its structure is too complicated..Version: 3.1.4

Great appIt can be very complicated. The initial setup takes a long time if you want to fully use it's features. I messed with it for days trying to link up accounts and have transfer, incomes, bills and expenditures down. This app is for someone who keep track of their daily account and keep an eye on exactly where their money goes. If u want an easy way to track your account try mints..Version: 2.6.7

Excellent AppDo not listen to any reviewer who says they don't like this--it is user error. This app is EXCELLENT! the interface is well designed, easy to use, and has all the tools I want in a budget app. I have tried lots of others and I'm not going back. This app is my number one. Great job to the developer. I will absolutely be spending the money on the full version..Version: 0

Like it!!!I have been trying different ones and so far I am sticking to this one! I like the nice interface, the ability to change the order of the categories one has added, the new extra icons, and more! For now, I do have a suggestion though, would like to see in the split the budget section an option for one time payment, no split. Thank you..Version: 0

Scup FamilyWe are so happy with this app. The free version even allows my husband and I to sync! Very well thought out. We decided to upgrade to the premium version and only 1 of us had to for both of us to enjoy the additional features. Well thought through. Use the info pages for help. Easy. Awesome..Version: 0

Export to Paid Version Not WorkingLoved this app so I bought the paid version but when I try to export my data from the this version to the paid it 'errors out' and goes back to the home screen! Has anyone else had this problem? Please, please, please fix this issue ASAP! Would have given app 5 stars if this feature would have worked for me..Version: 0

Almost thereI like the idea and I only gave it 3 stars because I would like to see how much money is left to budget as a running total as I'm setting up my budget amounts for the categories. I didn't see it in the free version and I can't tell if something like that is in the full version. Unfortunately, this will keep me from purchasing the full application..Version: 0

Nice app... But...3 features that would make this a killer app: - abilty to add custom category - can only view expenses and income month by month. Add feature to be able to view in 3 month, 6 month, 1 year or all transactions. Same with charts, reports, etc. - recurring expenses and income only allows you to add a start date of today or in the future, not a month ago for example. Fix this. I should be able to add a recurring expense starting 5 months ago. Add all the above and I'll buy the pro version of this app in a nano second. Otherwise it's useless to me. I do like the user interface and simplicity of this app. Keep up the good work..Version: 0

Awesome AppI love this app, I guess the only thing that would be better is if it was free. Kind of exspencive as far as Apps pricing. Definitly worth the $5.00. With in half our or so I had all my info in ** the only thing that would make this the best App would be a Due date and a reminder that would sync withyour calender **.Version: 0

Great budget app!You CAN add recurring bills. Go to bills, then tap the circular arrow in the bottom left corner to add your recurring bills. Next time, email support before you leave a negative review. This is a great app! My husband and I can both keep tabs on our finances, instead of one of us being the keeper of the budget..Version: 0

Wow! Finally a feature complete budget appGreat app! love the syncing across multiple iOS devices, Dropbox backup all the graphs etc. also really appreciate the developers letting users try the full version (w/ 20 entries) to get a feel for how feature rich this app is before purchasing..Version: 3.1.1

ReliableThis app is reliable. Used this before upgrading to full version and was flawless. If you upgrade to full version, you simply need to backup to email and you can restore once you've upgraded. Haven't lost anything since using both versions..Version: 0

The Real DealI reviewed a lot of the expense and budget apps and this is the one I settled on for the Budget portion. While the expense portion isn't as robust as a straight up expense app, it is more than usable. The budget part is perfect in its simplicity and usability. This has a clean logical interface and will certainly get me to pony up for the full version..Version: 0

Almost perfectI would buy this app and use it regularly IF, I could change the budget period. As far as I can tell I can only budget for the month and my wife and I use a budget on a two week cycle. Otherwise the interface is one of the best I've seen. The app is user friendly and you can really customize it (minus budget period)..Version: 3.1.7

TOP-NOTCH money manager sync with multiple devicesHands down to the programmers on this one. After several downloads and trials on other apps. My family found EXACTLY what we're looking for. will definitely share with all our family and friends. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!.Version: 2.8.8

Love itI just downloaded this yesterday and so far this app has been super simple and easy to use I did get the update and I would recommend this for anybody interested in trying to manage their money!.Version: 2.6.4

GreatThe only thing missing is being able to family sync with a desktop or laptop. It would be awesome if the app could be used one a computer!.Version: 0

Budget overview made simpleThis is a very simple to use app and for no charge what have you got to lose? Graphics are clear and I like the option of entering recurring and discretionary spend. Will be a useful tool for tracking the monthly expenses and income without opening up the XL spreadsheet.Version: 0

Great stuffLove and am using it every day. The transfer of data from free version to the real one is not obvious, but I managed to stumble over it. Now s friend also struggles with transferring his data from Lite to real version and I can't recall how did I do that?.Version: 0

Great appThis is the first app I have found that provides sync with others, and it makes all the difference in the world. I have only had it for one day, but already love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you..Version: 0

Home BudgetAwesome app. Lite version ought to have a link to the full version to install it and tranfer automatically the data you imputed on the lite version so you don't lose your information. Thanks.Version: 0

Nice!This is a simple app that seems to have a lot of the bases covered. Since this is the lite version I wonder how much more goodies are packed into the full version. Seems to be easy to use. I downloaded the manual and have not read it yet..Version: 0

Can't change beginning of the month dateI've tried but haven't figured out how to change the start date for the beginning of the month. We get paid on the 15th and this would be a great program if I could change my month start date..Version: 0

Pretty goodI found it a little tricky to use at first but I am getting the hang of it. Been using it for 1 month, not convinced I will upgrade..yet.Version: 2.7.7

SplitCan anyone tell me if you can split categories in the newest update and how?.Version: 0

Excellent!Great interface and works very well..Version: 3.3.0

FantasticSimple to use, great graphics. I have used it for years now and it's the best one out there..Version: 3.2.5

HomeBudget excellent 100%Superbe application. Depuis 2 ans que je m'en sert, je ne peu plus m'en passer. Je met mes depenses au fur et à mesure ce qui me permet de suivre mon budget. Je mets même mes compte bancaire et cartes de credits et même les depenses récurrentes automatiquements. Je le recommande à 100%..Version: 3.1.9

Really goodUsed it since more then a year! Very useful. Can't leave without it!! Look's complicated, but try it, it's easy to understand. It's my favorite app so far. Can't miss a paiement and you see if you spend to much money on this or that!!.Version: 2.8.5

Pas capable sync sur le 3gPas capable de synchroniser en 3g !.Version: 2.8.5

IClound sync 2 iCalBrilliant app. Not a single budget app can turn the info into acouple simple recap "events" on iCal. It'd b a great feature. Looking at my calendar anyway, and- "ooh- looks like this month was a good one for savings!" or "oh the phone bill is due soon" thank you for a fine app none the less.Version: 2.7.3

Too complicatedNo comments.Version: 2.7.1

Love it!!!Very helpful. just what im lookin for. thanks :).Version: 2.6.0

Use it everyday!•easy to understand •pie charts •easy to add your own categories •helped me stay financially focused important - if u stay committed to entering your spending, and make a budget, this app will visually tell u were your spending too much. Stay committed to your budget and you can clime out of debt. I have, thanks to this little app and a little will power..Version: 2.6.0

Awsome!!!!Best app i've got. really help save you money.Version: 2.6.0

Great!The lite version is great to play around with to get to know what the app is capable of. I'm still playing around with it and so far the only major glitch I can find is that you cannot edit an entry made by another device. To the developers: this fix will make the app that much greater. My husband and I are working at imputing our expenses together to cut the initial setup time in half but we've run into this problem! Please come out with a fix!.Version: 0

Easy to use and feature richIt's hard to find an app that's both easy to use AND doesn't have skimped down features. This is both - nice GUI and easy to understand..Version: 0

Just what I wantedI have budgeted using Excel on my home PC for a number of years and had grown accustomed to tracking my expenses and budget in quite a detailed way. So when I was looking for an app to replace it I was quite hesitant. However so far I am really pleased with this one. I particulalry like the feature to add your banking account balances (Checking, Savings, VISA etc) and then these are updated as you enter expenses, allows you to know your balances without necessarily logging on to your online banking or passing by an ATM also I like being able to add payees so that you can track within expense types where you have spent money. Don't pay attention to the poor reviews here, these are all linked to the lite version which has some serious limitations, the full app is easy to use and does not impose any restrictions on expense entries etc that I have come across at least. It does take a while to learn all the ins and outs of how to operate it but the user guide on the website does a pretty good job of explaining it..Version: 0

Not enough transactionsYes, it could show off what it can do in maybe 40 transactions instead of 10. Still, it's a great program to track your expenditures (as long as you have even a very basic understanding of accounting)..Version: 0

Seems great appI dont know if its because of the free version but i cant see the reports with my expenses and income that i input. Very simple to use, theres a help at start screen to explain how it works..Version: 0

Great to try before buyI tried this lite version to see how it works and whether I would be able to actually see myself imputing all this information on a regular basis. I found that it's not that time consuming once you've set up your basic accounting info and it's very quick and convenient to add items as they occur. I tried several accounting aps and found this one by far the easiest and most comprehensive. It covers everything I need. Now that I see how useful and easy it is to use I will definately buy the paid version and thankfully I can automatically transfer my info to it from this one. It's a no brainer to set it up but there is a downloadable user guide on the developers website if there is a need for understanding any aspect of it further. I think this is one of the best and most frequently used aps I will ever buy. It's worth the purchase price but having this free version to try it out was helpful. Thank you developers..Version: 0

CalcIt would be nicer if you can add a calculator..Version: 0

WonderfulAs a University student, I have to budget my money. I was never good with numbers but this app made my life so much easier. I downloaded lite and within 3 hours I was downloading the full version..Version: 0

AwesomeThis app works great. Exactly what I was looking for. Downloaded a diif app at first bit this one works way better and is simpler to use..Version: 0

Powerful and IntuitiveI like the ability to link expenses with the accounts, specify recurrent expenses, and do budgeting (would not mind more icons though... like Gym? Golf? or Student Loans?). So far, I had no problem deleting expenses. (Also, I do regular transfers from my Checking to Credit Card; why should not this option be present?) In the end, I like it quite a bit..Version: 0

It's helpful!It's good to keep track of your monthly expenses but you can only add so many expenses in this version and can't delete them afterwards to replace it with another expense..Version: 0
