I’ve been using this for a couple of months and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s interesting how this simple, but effective app replaces most of my budget/goal saving apps. I even bought pro because I use it really often. Now the bad. I’m still unsure what the savings account option does/the purpose of it. I haven’t really found a purpose for it other than tracking what account I’m using to save the goal for. But other than that it’s just a placeholder. Another issue I found is the lagging issues when inputting an entry into your savings goal. For example, let’s say I want to put in $5 (arbitrary number) into a goal. When I hit the check button to confirm my input amount, there’s a slight roughly 4-5 second delay. This is really common on goals that have more than +10 entry inputs. There’s also a glitch where if you hit the check button more than once (let’s say you’re impatient and hit the button for a bit because you think the screen is frozen) while it’s waiting to save changes, it will replicate the entry and have an incorrect amount displayed. In this case, my input will be $10 rather than $5. I would personally love to have a “funding account” feature that displays my current checking balance (offline of course) where I can distribute funds manually/automatically to my goals so I don’t have to manually go into every goal and subtracting/adding the balance one by one. This is more of a wishlist feature.
First off, I haven’t had the app for very long but it’s exactly what i was looking for. I read a few reviews and it seems like when there’s a problem you do a good job of fixing it. So thank you for that. Only thing is I have an iphone and it could be nice to see it on my widget screen, just some sort of preview of my goals. If you happen to do this I would suggest adding a “Show in widget” option to each goal, because I know one or two of my goals I wouldn’t want shown on the screen just a few of them that I choose. Thank you, and I love the app so far, I absolutely love the progress bar, it motivates me.
I’m using this app to keep track of how much money I have put towards getting an Apple Watch. It is simple in the way that as soon as I get any money, even find a few coins laying around, I can just enter it into the app and its done. One suggestion that I have would be to add a feature that shows how much more money you NEED to get to your goal. The app shows how much money you put into it and the percentage of how close you are, but it doesn’t show how much you still need. I found myself typing things into the calculator and figuring it out that way. Overall this is an amazing app!!!
I itemize my savings into different categories and wanted something easier than pencil and paper or a spreadsheet. This app is amazing and exactly what I needed! I can see what I’m saving for, see my totals with the pro version and add or delete funds as needed. I wish I would have found this years ago! Update on my review: I removed one star because there is such a lag in pressing the buttons to navigate around the app. Add money to a goal and want to go back to the main menu, i have to click on the back button multiple times and then wait for the lag. Frustrating!
I enjoyed this app up until recently. I tried to input a goal date but the options were blank, yet the scrolling effect was still there - I just couldn’t see the month/day/year I was selecting. I figured in order to fix it, I’ll just delete the app then redownload it. I download it again and it still won’t show the goal date. All in all, the features are great, I just can’t select a goal date. Update: Figured out the problem. The date selections are in white, and the background is also white.
I love the app and will never stop using it. It works very well for me and the multiple things I need to save for. The only thing I’d like to see if they do a future update is to add another saving frequency option. Currently they only have 3; daily, weekly and monthly. Which is fine especially since I get tips at work so I set it to daily usually for this. Though I and a lot of people get paid biweekly, so it’d be perfect if they had that as an option so I can quickly look at the app grab the number and start budgeting my paycheck. Very very little thing, but I’ve had this app for over three years at this point I believe and I’ve never seen that update happen. Otherwise as I mentioned before I will never stop using it because it works perfect, especially being that I get tips at work so I set it to daily, but I will be changing jobs soon.
Love the app( pro user). I am a tipped employee and I use the app everyday to keep track of the tips earned: created a goal and every day I enter cash tips earned and at the end of the year I know how much I made. Super useful! I would like to suggest to add the ability to see a date marker in the progress bar for each goal. Or if you press and hold the progress bar you can see the date/amount combinations. This is useful to be able to see how much tips I earned on a given month/time period
I was trying to find an app where I could track savings with a progress bar and this is perfect. The ability to add a picture of what the saving goal is adds a motivation to save, as does the progress bar and percentage readouts. The only thing I ask is if the developers add the ability to move the goals into the order I want instead of alphabetical or due date. Other than that though, its a fantasic app! Edit: Please update! I just upgraded to an iPhone Xs and the app immediately crashes when I try to open it!
I’m still a child 😂 as a child it’s harder for me when I have to pay $20 a month for my phone bill, and also have to use my own money when I don’t have a job yet! I was hoping this app would be able to let me freely have at 3 goals. That’s a normal number right? Three wishes etc. anyways, seeing as I don’t have a job. I can’t upgrade to premium and keep track of all my goals! If this app was completely free then it would earn five stars. But, for now. Until next time thank you! 😊
I love this app, the premium features are nice, but the app is still amazing without buying them. I saved up for a new iPhone with this app and have recommended it to all my friends! It even shows you what percentage of your goal you have already saved up. You can also set it to give you reminders to invest some money, and once you set a goal date, it says home much money you need to invest per week to make the goal. Definitely recommend!
I love that it’s simple and easy to understand. I love that you can choose your own picture for your goal. I was going to Asia, so I put some great pictures that made me excited every time I logged some savings. I do wish there was an easier way to take money off, when I originally got the app I just guessed by putting a - in front the dollar amount that had left the savings and it worked. That’s my only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.
Scooped up this app for my kiddos so they can visualize how in they save and how much more they need to save for next years vacation. Honestly it makes them work twice as hard and actually I’ve seen a spike in their interest in making money. Which means they ask grandma, grandpa, mom and now just do chores to do them. They have a physic bank at home but I installed the app on their iPads so they can see the $$ they have saved. Love.
I have no complaints about this app easy and cool interface, fast performance, it does exactly what I was looking for. I’ll switch to premium just to keep ads off. I know this a product and when you want a product you have to pay for it, even if with cash or other item. I suggest developers to add a widget app in premium features 🙂🙂 we want a widget. Of our savings right in the screen without having to open the app.
I’ve been using this app for god knows how long. I’m not sure if it was this app or a different one but there was an option to track bi-weekly. I would love to see that option again instead of having to figure out how much to save a month. Weekly just isn’t an option for me quite frankly. But other than that, it’s an amazing app.
Great app and super user friendly. I use this everyday. A lot of people complain about the ads and only being able to complete two goals for free, just buy it. It’s worth the investment. No ads, as many goals as you want, all for the same price you spend at a vending machine. Grow up, spend the pocket change, and enjoy this amazing app. It has helped me save for about a dozen things.
I’ve been using this app for over a year and it’s been fantastic! But recently I’ve upgraded to an IPhone X and anytime I get an ad, the close button is too high up on the screen and I can’t close out of it. My only solution is to quit the app and get back into it and hope that I don’t get an ad before I can add my savings, it’s super annoying and I’m debating on just switching to another saving app. Would be nice if this could be fixed- and if it does, I will change my rating to 5 stars
I love this app. It’s very helpful to keep me motivated to my goal. One suggestion. I would love to see along with how much I have progressed toward my goal, how much is left to attain my goal. Yes, I can figure it out doing some subtraction but it would be great for the app to do it. I realize not everyone would like to see that number so maybe it could be a custom setting.
I like it but you will have to pay for the premium to get the perks. I wish it had a tab where you can write all the expenses that added up to that tab. For instance if I created a tab that said Computer Work station, the sub tab would have the cost of the desk, computer, and anything else I have for that project. But other than that it’s a really clean design app and I like that it can add all expensive.
I love the design of the app and how easy it is to use. Unfortunately, there’s a glitch with the daily savings feature, the app is miscalculate the amount that is needed to be set aside each day to reach a short term goal. The longer the goal, the better the app seems at measuring the savings needed to be set aside. Good thing I’m type A and checked for my own record, or else I would of blindly set aside too little money and been screwed for my goal due date.
This app is really helpful for saving for my goals. I’ve purchased the upgrade for their small fee and would call it an investment. I simply note how much I want to put away and make sure that reflects in my actual bank account. It feels good to watch your money and savings grow for things you really want. Thanks to whoever made this!
This is so appealing to the eye and is fun to keep track of my progress for my money goals. I use it for everything from travel funds, home projects, holidays and paying down debt. Anything that will require some planning and organization goes into this app for me to gauge how close I am to completion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seeing the progress bar keeps me motivated!
I was looking to buy a new tablet, but I couldn’t find the right app to save up for it. But this app is just what I needed. This is is certainly more efficient than paper-pencil and much easier. The only problems I’m facing is the fact that you can’t have more than two goals or a password without premium, but other than that, it’s an amazing app!!
I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate having visual representations for my progress with savings. Additionally, I like that I can indicate which savings are being held in which accounts without having to share any account info. I micromanage the hell out of my finances, and the options offered in this app are helping me greatly.
I love this app already, but there are some features that could be added to make it even better... 1) allow for the ability to add goal contributions automatically on a set day or frequency of the users choice. 2) add a “bi-weekly” frequency for contributions to coincide with users pay cycles. 3) an optional feature to link to bank accounts could be helpful to some users as well. Other than that I really enjoy this app and it’s ease of use. Nice having an app that finally does EXACTLY what you want it to do without all the extra bells & whistles that only garble things anyway. Thank you!! Sent from my iPhone
The app itself it great and it perfectly fits my needs. The only thing that bothers me is when I try to add a contribution an ad pops up. The ads are fine but I CANT close them once they pop up. I can see the X to close it but no matter how many times I tap it the ad won’t close. Very irritating. I have to restart the app to try and add a contribution and hope that an ad doesn’t pop up again but 99% of the time it does.
Love how simple and easy this is to use. I save better when I have a goal and amount in mind and this helps me keep track of everything without needing to give access to my accounts. Have been using it for over 6 years.
Overall I enjoy this app. I did upgrade it to include multiple goals and that’s working very nice. I’d love to see $ amount remaining to fully fund goal, not just amount contributed or % contributed. I’m giving it four stars due to annoying reminder to rate the app every time I open it, even though I indicated to stop asking me. Hopefully it will not popup again after this review.
I like it, but if your going to get it just buy the premium or what ever, the normal only gives you two goals. If your younger and don’t really have a lot of goals to save up for then don’t. But I would recommend it it’s only like $3. Helps me prioritize my money and keeps my hands away from the savings.
Great app. To make it perfect I would like to see the Remaining/Uncomplicated balance. Right now I have to subtract the balance from my goal. Maybe, make the fonts a little smaller to list more accounts in the screen (currently can fit only three) and scroll down for the rest. Sent from my iPhone
Make a widget for this app.... you’d set this app ahead of the game and it would honestly be a great feature to see how close or far you are from a savings goal with out having to always go inside of the app. Please consider this great feature for this already outstanding app. Thanks devs
I wanted to try this app before buying, but sadly it was unusable. The full screen adds are fine on a free product if you can get out of it and still use the product. The problem with this app is that I could not close the add. The “X” at the top left of the app never worked and I had to close the app to remove the add. This would reset the interface and I would see another full screen add when I tried the product again. Because of this, I could not actually try the product.
I ended up upgrading because I really like the app. I like the simple interface and being able to see the percentage of completion is really awesome. However, mostly writing this review so the stupid notification will go away, which is really my only complaint.
I love this app so much. I have 6 savings goals going now and I love checking the progress bars even when it’s a day I’m not adding to the total. And it’s fantastic that you can see your completed goals, I click on that to see how far we’ve come on those. Great app.
I wanted to find an app that will help me save money for something my family I really needed and this app is definitely helping for sure! It tells me how much a need to contribute to reach my goal. It also gives percentages on how close I am to reaching my goal. This app is AMAZING!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You don’t have to put in your credit card number and you can have pictures on your phone, set notes on your money with each time you add money, You can also make your money goal a widget! It’s so easy to use too!
I’ve been looking for a app like this that has both those features and I love it!!!! Definitely thee best one for iPhone users! No complaints ads are intrusive but you gotta make your money! I would love to see a bit more customization for the widget style like colors , emojis use , etc
I like it but I haven’t found it useful for anything other than a calculator telling you how much you need to meet your savings goals. It needs notifications to remind you to save! It’s very basic and simple but I don’t like having to remember go into the app to put in what I saved. If I had a choice I’d set a reminder every payday to put the money aside.
This app is great for saving up for anything and it can easily be changed if your goals cost changes. It’s very flexible. I would give it 5 stars but around every single ten seconds a 5 second ad shows up. So if you ever want to actually use this app, then turn off your internet and wireless so all of the ads won’t show up.
Idk why it does this and I might be missing something, but I have this app set to remind me to put money into an allocated savings ONCE EVERY OTHER MONDAY at 9:00am. (biweekly) the app not only reminds me everyday, but sometimes more than once a day and each time it does this, it notifies me with the same reminder 8 to 10 times at once. This is kinda ruining an app I enjoy using.
Started out working wonderful, then once I deleted one of my “goals” it still sent me notifications to put money away and I would get about 10 in a row of the reminders since I deleted one. Other than that works pretty good
Easy to use, straight to the point and very flexible when it comes to editing info on goals and contributions. However, one key feature seems to have been forgotten, securing the app with Touch ID or passcode. Kindly consider developing this module. Regards.
I really like this app. My biggest issue is that it doesn’t link my data across devices. If I want the data from my iPad to appear on my iPhone, I have to retype it in manually. It’s kind of annoying having to go back into different devices just to keep everything on the same page.
Very easy to use. The only thing I wish I could do is connect my bank account. It would be awesome if the app recognized deposits & distributed percentages of the deposit to the different savings goals.
I made the mistake of setting the reminder and even though I've made a deposit, every time I pick my phone up there's an annoying message telling me to add money. If I delete the reminder, I might forget. Otherwise, it's quite effective. It's annoying enough that I took two stars off.
I love the calculation of how much you need to save based on due date and payment frequency. I would be perfect if you could set how much you'll pay and how frequently you'll pay then see how long until you meet your goal.
I love this app I have a savings account and this really helps me keep track of it cause my mom controls it(I’m only 10)but I would like it even more if there were more pictures to resemble the goal.
The app helped show me how much I needed to save on a certain time I set for myself. If I missed a time ever once in a while it would disperse it over the remaining time and make it easy to stay on track.
Not a fan of how there are a lot of ads when you first try it out. You either have to have a LOT of patience, or upgrade to pro version quickly. Still, it’s a very solid app!
This app is often impossible to open and-or causes my device to crash and reboot. It's been 4 days since I've been able to last get in (trying a number of times each day). In spite of the questionable positive reviews this app is just a buggy waste of time. I've run out of patience because there are a number of better apps out there. Don't waste your time with this one.
I love that it lets you set a goal amount and date, and frequency of saving. It reminds you how much to save and breaks large goals up into smaller, less overwhelming goals.
