It would be great to have a feature where we can highlight phrases and our “notes” that have been highlighted are out in a special place within the app. Some things have really resonated with me and I want to be able to read those words specifically as reminders instead of having to read an entire post again. If that would be possible, I would be so excited. So far, I’ve been highlighting within the app, and posting to “notes” on my phone, but even trying to highlight or “select” on my phone is difficult through the app because the selected words do not show as highlighted in grey or whatever like they would be when selecting text on a regular webpage. Thanks everyone!
Great app, some ads are antithetical to MMM philosophies
Edit: Thanks for the thoughtful response. Knowing the background about this app certainly changes how I feel about it, I'm editing my review. I honestly think it's a very well developed app and got a lot of value from it the past couple months. It might be worth it for other readers to see your comments somewhere in the app. Would love to see it maintained for a long time. --- I had this app at 5 stars but with the addition of the ads it really brings the credibility of the content down. I will just quote an article and its accompanying ad: "car spending is the first and foremost thing standing between the struggling masses and Mustachian Freedom and Riches. That means YOU!" Ad directly underneath: Only 2 Days left, Tap for offers - Toyota There is a paid version with no ads but again it feels contradictory to spend $10/year on an app after I biked through the rain by MMM's suggestion to save $1.50 in gas, and finished reading "A millionaire is made Ten Bucks at a time" I really preferred the previous model where MMM provides links to things he supports (like the low flow shower head, which I bought)
The MMM site is a treasure trove of sound advice on habits to navigate the pitfalls of a consumerist society that would have us buy things we don’t need, with money we don’t have. However, it can be hard to take it all in which is why this app, with the recent addition of two tools to guide you through each step (paired with related articles) is so darn excellent. I’ve always recommended MMM to anyone questioning the status quo but the tools in this app make this the better/more practical option. While it is US centric the general principles are applicable anywhere so share this app instead of another meme and be remembered as the friend that introduced Mr Money Moustache
I have been reading MMM for several years and I couldn’t be happier that it is finally in the App Store. The articles are in an easy-to-read format and I especially like the feature that marks an article as “read” once you complete it. I am going through and re-reading all of the articles now-some for the third or fourth time. My only suggestion is to add the date of the article to the mobile display once the article is opened. The date is currently only one click away, but it’s nice to have the context of time while reading the article.
Way more than I was expecting. I was expecting to be able to read the blog and a couple simple FI related calculators. No this exceeded my expectations! You can read the blog. But much more importantly and valuable is the calculator inside the app. It will make finding the holes in your budget easy. With links to related article by several of the Top FI bloggers for each category. See how you compare with an average family of similar size or Pete’s. Thanks MMM! Oh and I rarely write a review. So it’s that good. You need this app!
My family was very very poor and had no financial education and yet they were able to scrap and save. I learned many wonderful things from my parents. Love, giving and hard work. But it was their devotion that caused me to work harder and save more. As a testimony to their great parenting I have vowed to pass the financial education along to my three daughters. Thank you for furthering my education.
This is a terrific app! It helped me accomplish my goal of reading each and every one of the MMM blog posts in chronological order, in a slick user-friendly format. (It is so much better than always leaving a web browser tab open, which is what I had been doing.) I'm eager to see what additional features this app rolls out. Overall, I give it top marks and a high recommendation.
I have been reading MMM for years and had been searching for an app to use to subscribe to MMM so I could “favorite” certain posts and keep track of the ones that are unread (I am currently in my 3rd trip back through all of his posts from the beginning of time...). This app does all of it and in a very fancy way. Thank you for developing this!!! ❤️
I started reading Mr. Money Mustache’s blog two years ago and have since paid off all my debts (including student loans), saved 30k, and have created a clear path to retiring early (mid-40s). I highly recommend the content contained in these blog posts as a simple, step-by-step path to better money management and personal well-being. Thank you, Pete!!!
I've been working my way through the blog for months now, starting with post #1 and everytime I wanted to save an article, I'd save it in a separate browser tab. It was ridiculous. So happy to have this app now! I can close all my excess browser tabs! 😂
If you have somehow stumbled across this app and know nothin about Mr. Money Mustache, please take a few minutes to read a few of his more popular articles. On the app, I find it a little easier / user friendly to access than my browser
Been enjoying re reading all the MMM blog posts. Thanks for putting this App together. Unfortunately this most recent App update cleared out all the blog posts I marked as Favorites and it lost track of all the articles I had re read. Now I have to scroll down to 2015 to keep reading where I left off.
Wow! Just downloaded this MMM app and am blown away by the great ease of navigating articles and the helpful content. Looking forward to catching up on the literature, and modifying my lifestyle to take steps towards financial independence. Thank you to MMM and the fantastic developer duo team, Helen & Jon for the best life-changing app download of the year!!
Kudos to whoever made the app for MMM. 5 stars for simplicity of bringing the blog to an easily usable mobile platform. One thing I would recommend is a link to the forums (even if it simply opens a web page). Cheers!
Love this blog, but t seems like every time there is an app update all of the articles that are marked “read” are cleared out. Sometimes I go months between reading and it’s frustrating to not be able to come back and know where I stopped.
A thoughtful humorous look at money mindfulness in a time of irrational excess
Mr. Money Mustache tells you everything you need to know in a way that entertains, informs & betters your like as long as you put in into practice. Kudos my friend, I drink your Koolaid through my own well money-manicured ‘stash!
Mr. Money Mustache has been writing about financial independence and choosing to live a more intentional and healthy lifestyle for years. Now, the blog has finally come to the App Store. I love the features, the experience and the content. Huge win, highly recommend!
I’m very glad MMM took the time and money to make an app for all his followers! Very easy to use and I am very thankful that the app allows you to read the posts oldest to newest, which is the best way to learn the mustachian lifestyle.
Sorting, saving favorites, marking articles as read, keeping up with new articles, and a beautiful navigation experience — this is the best way to read MMM and will surely help me grow my Mustache a bit longer.
In addition to MMM posts the app gives you financial independence calculator as well as advice on how to cut your spending. You can specify your current and targeted expenses by category. Every article is absolutely great! Love it!
The latest update cleared out which articles I had already read, and now it doesn’t stay at the last article I read so I need to scroll from the beginning every time I open the app.
Really appreciate your efforts for this very useful tool. Best way to catch up on MMM content when you have a few minutes to spare. Please keep the updates coming!! :D
I have blown through just about every MMM article and it has influenced the way I do things more than any other lifestyle philosophy out there. Life is good.
Update lost track of read/unread. This is not the first time either, very frustrating. Love the content though, thinking of just reading on the blog website itself to keep track ofmwhere I'm at, there's a lot of content to get through.
I can’t say enough great things about the app and Mr. Money Mustache. The advice is simple, easy to follow, and fantastic. Can’t wait until I’m a full blown mustachio.
The best app ever invented. Easy to use. I read posts everyday when I’m in the bathroom. Wife thinks I’m taking a massive dump. No, I’m transforming myself to mini mustache.
With the recent addition of monetization (advertising at the bottom of each page), this app has become a sad and ironic rejection of all that the blog itself stands for. Horrible. As a self-identified Mustachian, I truly hate to see this.
