User Reviews for Pennies – Budget and Expenses

Perfect for Expense Tracking

I have been using Pennies for about a year and I think it is great expense tracking tool for people on both end of the financial spectrum. A person just trying to get handle on their spending and develop some basic budgeting skills, will appreciate how easy it is to keep track of spending. I'm on the other end of the spectrum with a good handle on spending and managing my finances. I appreciate that I don't have to enter all my accounts and credit cards like on some other apps. I manage all of that just fine. I just want to see when I go over budget and track spending trends. Successful budgeting requires tracking spending as we all know, this app is great for just that, and it does it very well.

One of my favorite finance-related apps!

I love this app so much. First, the aesthetics. It is beautiful to look at and very easy to navigate. The sounds effects are simple and satisfying to hear. Also, love the colors! Even more importantly though, this app helps me keep track of every single penny going in and going out. And what I *especially* love is how this app is so versatile! If something changes in my financial situation/needs later on, I can easily switch up my budgeting approach. The minimalistic functions allow for a flexible approach to budgeting and encourages “budget creativity” to use each of the app’s tools in their own way. For me this is what makes it fun—you can do whatever works best for you.The only thing is, as some users have mentioned, when you have a longer list of budgets (I have 28), the app lags quite a bit when toggling between budgets. It is somewhat frustrating at times when I am trying to balance my budgets quickly. But if you have fewer budgets or don’t mind exercising a little (sometimes a lot of) patience, then it isn’t *that* bad. I will continue using this app because of the flexibility it allows me for my budgeting needs. Plus, I have tried several apps in the past, and this Pennies one works best for me. Otherwise, the lagging truly would be a dealbreaker because it interrupts my budget planning flow.

LOVE!

Wow. This app is exactly what I was looking for. Something to simply state how much so budgeted for extra expenses, how much I've spent, and what I've got left. You'd think all the other finance and budgeting apps would have this simple process but they don't! This app is worth the $4 I spent to be able to accurately track my expenses. I'm so excited to start a new journey towards better financial health and I have Pennies to partly thank!! The only improvements I would like are to be able to Edit the Note (Type In a Custom Note) AFTER you've already put the spending in for your budget. And I would also like to color-code budgets, since as of right now, they all have the blueish-green color. Anyway.. can't wait to see where this app goes and the wonderful additions it incorporates! Wonderful app! Buy it! You won't regret it!

Simple and Superior Budget App

I use Mint to keep track of my finances; it has a built-in budget generator and links with my bank account for constant updates. However powerful it may be, the app is extremely dense. It takes time to load and time to navigate to the budgeting section. Even then, the interface is crowded for the amount of information it tries to display! Pennies is ONLY a budgeting app. It JUST does budgets, but it does them flawlessly. It loads almost instantly on my iPhone, and the interface couldn't be easier or more pleasant to use. No, it doesn't link with my bank account. I view that as a strength. Pennies cuts away an extra layer of complication and vulnerable security. And by requiring that I manually enter my purchases, it makes me really think more about my spending habits. All in all, a stellar budgeting app.

Finally!

This is the literal only app that I can find that doesn’t cause me to break my budget to have to pay for it and offers custom timelines for you budget!! My husband and I get paid every two weeks but it’s not always on the same day and we are not salary workers so it’s not the same every month. It’s super helpful for me to budget from paycheck to paycheck so I know how much we have left over for fun things instead of unknowingly allowing a random amount of money to a trillion categories. I only gave 4 stars because there is no way for my husband to login to the same account so that we can both see the same budget. That would be the only thing that is a little inconvenient.

Pennies Privacy Concern

Hi. I love your app Pennies and it really helps me keep track of my spending. I do have a privacy concern, however, that when I put Pennies as a Complication on my Apple Watch, I like it to be in the middle where I can see my money at a glance. The problem is that when the watch is taken off, the entire thing locks but the money still shows. This is a problem because if someone steals my watch, they would know how much money is on me and that would be a problem. Is there a way I can set it so that the money hides when I take off the watch?By the way, the Complication I’m most interested in that I’m talking about is the one that say “Today” and “Period.” It would be great if I could use that safely, again. In the meantime, I’m using a smaller Complication that does in fact lock when I take off the watch.

Convenient, Easy, Reliable and Simple

What’s great about pennies is that unlike other apps you can pull out and see at a glance how much money you have left for the day/month in your budget/account. It is not a complicated comprehensive analysis of your finances. It is great for a spending account. I love how the app adapts your daily “allowance” based on your spending. The app is beautifully designed and is very pleasant to use.I would like to see an account sync version on the Mac with supported security. Sometimes I forget to enter my expenses so this sync feature would help correct my ways. For what the app set out to do the app has earned the 5 stars and has earned it in a beautiful way.

This is a very useful tool

Initially I was trying to use pennies to track everything we/I spend. Sheesh. We’re a family of 6 and it was just loony. Stupid too- I know already what our mortgage is each month- why track that? Realized that’s really not the app’s purpose (which I believe the dev. says in the faqs). It excels at providing a place and a means to manage and track the variable expenses, the ones I can control. So if I reduce expenditure in one area I can choose to save it, stockpile it for another month, use it in a different area, etc. What’s great is that as I enter my expenses (in the areas I track) I am forced to think about how that fits with my master plan. Which I honestly need- in the moment I can convince myself to purchase something, eg, that frankly blows my budget and really isn’t needed. Great accountability. So now- I track the variables I can control and manipulate monthly and it is terrific. Easy. Fast to enter. Intuitive. Adaptable to me. Really like it. Brilliant.

Clean and simple, but with finicky controls

The app is slick and looks great. It’s easy to use and only gets easier the more you use it. The only gripe I have with it is how finicky and hard it is to swipe on the main screen. Swiping right or left both have the function of switching through your budgets, or if you start your swipe closer to the edge of the phone it’ll go to all your budgets or your expenses. It’s a little hard to operate.Other than that, it’s really clean and simple. One thing to note is that it does not link to you bank account and automatically track your expenses. However, I prefer this more because automated expense tracking often messes up or categorizes incorrectly. That’s just something to keep in mind.

Great simple to use app

I have a budget where I live on a weekly allowance. It was so hard to find an app that would work well with a weekly budget instead of a monthly one. This one works perfectly for me. It is simple to use, fast, looks slick, handles recurring income or expenses, handles several budgets (we have one for the family and one just for me), it doesn't connect to my bank account or anything else which is great, it tells me how many days are left in the week which is a nice reminder, it keeps a history of everything I've spent, it didn't need me to create categories or anything like that to get started, I like just being able to put in an expense and a short description and be done. Super simple, super effective, and it looks great.
