Daily Expenses

I bought this app (quite expensive) because I wanted to track my expenses in order to see spending trends over time (the last two years). In order to enter historical expenses, it is necessary to click on the Calendar icon EVERY SINGLE TIME to back up to a previous month (that adds up to thousands of clicks for expenses from two years ago). I was willing to put the time in, and was seeing some interesting trends in my spending. However, I just tried to back up the info to the Cloud and ALL of it was erased. ALL of it. Several hours of my time, gone. On top of that, there is no way to scroll through expenses, even if you select just one category (my personal spending black hole is restaurants). The app will only display what fits on the screen, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to access earlier entries at all. In short, not a terribly efficiently organized app, does offer some helpful information but only in terms of overviews, not in terms of specific spending. And plus, the backup onto the Cloud deleted all my info. I moved the app to the trash. I cannot recommend this app at all.

I love it! I have several businesses. There are expenses that needs to be divided appropriately between them. I finally found something that I can exactly do it! This app supports exactly how my brain process things. I can now be organized! Yey! The only thing that I suggest is the calendar/date feature. I had to enter things for prior years. I have to click, click click…… unti I reach the exact date. Will you please adjust this so that I can just enter the right year or date that I want to post it in? THANKS :)

I’m requesting my money back!!!!!!! what a waste of time and money, why offer this app to macbook pro users if its only for the iPhone. This app stalls every rip. 1. you can’t delete entries. 2.it seems you can only add 4 users not more when i add a user one that was previously added is deleted, why ? 3.the user guide is too vague. The usefulness of this app would be great if it worked across all devices i give it 2 stars only because it looks good and the photo feature is a nice touch . where is my money!!!!!!!!

This could be a great app, I love everything about it, but the one thing that I really need, it’s the one thing it does not work at all. If you try to sync thru iCloud, it just sits there trying to connect forever.

The iCloud sync is one of the worst implementations I’ve seen. Absolutely does not work, which renders it useless if you want to be able to sync across iOS devices. Complete waste of money!

I bought it so I could sync it across devices and it would not do it properly and there were always mistakes in the calculations… In one word: Garbage! I am going to try HomeBudget now. I know of a couple that uses it. At least they have a bunch of manuals!!

this app should be removed, i used it for 3 months and it decided to wipe out all my expenses this morning when i went to open the file, i had no expenses and there was no daily expense category, it just went blank like a grey page...

UPDATE: version 2.6. This is the third update since my first review. Seems like frequent updates, but is not clear what has improved. Still as bad as before (see below) I bought this app and the iPhone/iPad app because of the iCloud sync, good user reviews, and the unique function of having multiple users. I activated iCoud sync then looked for instructions or preferences to activate multiple users, so when we set budget expense of all family members will update live on every family member device. To my surprise, there is no preference or any setup to activate the multiuser support, and there is no “Help” menu for this software or user manual. I clicked on “Daily Expense Support” in the App page on the App Store, and I was taken to the developer website. Surprisingly the developer website has no helpful information except a list of features, has no documentation online or downloadable, and no manuals. When I clicked on “Forum” to see if any other user has commented on this, I got an error page that the page cannot be found. How did this crap pass Apple review process? The App is featured in the “Best New Apps" on the App Store, and is shown in the Better Together section in the iCloud category. More interestingly, this is version 2.2, so you would expect better from such an App.

I should not have paid $20 for this. Its hard to correct any errors made by the user. This is a $5 app!

I really wish that the comments, one is able to enter in the yellow box with every expense, would be exported into the .txt, .cvs files! That would be most helpful when reviewing the entries via the exported file.
