Monefy - Budget & Expenses app

WARNING! When data is downloaded to computer, the dates which have only 1 digit in the day or month are not processed correctly in Excel. For example, 1/10/2019 is not processed correctly, but 11/10/2019 is okay. Result: sorting by date does not work, making download almost worthless. 2. Many people will alter or combine categories. But if you delete the old categories, it retroactively deletes all the data in those categories entered in previous months and years - lost forever. Deal-breaker

Monefy is a great app for manually tracking finances and bills. It does take a little bit of playing around to figure out how to set up reoccurring bills, along with the general use of the app. But I've been using the premium version for the last 3 years, and it has helped give me a clear picture of my finances and where things stand. Highly recommended, especially if you don't want to constantly be logging in and out with third party's that connect to your personal accounts.

Buyer beware: You first open the app to see "Buy now for $39.99/year. Only available right now!" X out and get another popup for $1.99/year. Interesting how an app that's supposed to help you save money starts off the interaction with trying to steal $38 from you right off the bat! Very cumbersome interface and no ability to plan out spending per category. Will be uninstalling immediately.

I thought I would be able to budget/ track expenses for specific categories. i.e. if say I only want to spend $500 per month on groceries I can enter that and go in and add each grocery bill as I shop to ensure I don't go over my set budget. I'm not seeing an option to do this. There is only an option to put a budget for the entire month. If it was possible to budget and track specific expenses this app would get 5 stars! It's easy to use and the paid for version is customizable which is great!

Great app, I've used plenty and this is the best one. Gets right to the point for quick on the go finance tracking. I lost about 6 months of data when I broke my phone. I had pro and I was syncing to Google Drive and it did not restore. I believe the backup system should be improved. It should actually save a file to your Google Drive and not to the phone storage.

Best expense tracker I've seen yet. Would give it 5 stars if it had datetime instead of just date and if it also had a view that shows all expenses from any category sorted chronologically ( use case: I need to see all my expenses in the last few hours / day) I would think this would be common Edit: lowering to 2 stars because they keep showing me ads every time I open the app to pay for premium. I am aware of the option after seeing it 100s of times , it is unnecessary to keep displaying it

Overall the app is good. I love the transfer feature and the ability to set up recurring payments differently on each account. (I typically pay bills on a credit card.to receive rewards and loans through my bank account). There are a lot of features missing that would make this a 5 star app. #1 It doesn't show you your running balance. Only the overall balance for the time frame selected. #2 You can't reorder or mark items paid if you pay early so you remember not to pay them again.

If i could give this app 0 stars I would. The layout is horrible. It uses picture icons for everything. You are expected to remember what image goes with what purchase. Its hard to set up reoccurring bills. You cant view it in calander form, and if it is possible I could not figure it out. I 100% do not recommend this app. The whole thing is just hard to navigate. I wasted $40 on this thing.

As someone who doesn't like to connect third-party apps to my bank account, Monefy is a great way to easily track money manually. And the paid version is inexpensive and worth it (and not a subscription!). I wish Monefy had a little tutorial or something to show what all the options do. As it is, figuring it out requires some trial and error. And I'd really like to be able to set the app to remind me to record my income with notifications!

I upgraded tomthe paid version and like that I can adjust the categories. It's really easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. My only issue with it that if I add money to budget, it never adds. It'll stay at the starting balance it's set for. So it's not as helpful for someone like me who works based on commission and has a fluctuating monthly salary. But overall, I still enjoy it and will probably use it for the year I paid for.

I wish I could have recurring expenses auto add so that the frequency of adding expenses could be kept down. Eg my mortgage and insurance stay consistent, but spending on food would be manually added. I also wish I could budget by category. I think right now it just let's you set a single monthly spending budget which is great. But to have the option of specific categories would be a great option.

This app is nearly perfect. There are a couple of aspects I'd like to see the developers consider. 1) A option to delete items from the suggestion box that pops up when inputting notes. 2) I struggle with my month to month Carry Over Option. It seems to throw everything off. Maybe a developer could reach out and show me how to properly use the Carry Over option. But ultimately this is a great App!

This app has a huge bug now and it needs to be fixed because it is practically useless right now. Sent an email and it bounced back! When creating an expense or income and you try to select a particular account, i can no longer scroll down and see my full list of accounts. It is very frustrating and needs to be fixed asap pls! Adding update: after almost a week, still no support. About time to delete this app and find a better one!

Definitely needs work. Not sure if it is because I am on the free app, paid to pro, instead of downloading the paid version directly all accounts view does not show up total balance nor total transactions in either view. No way to check balances without selecting accounts on side menu and seeing the information there. would like options to import pics/icons for categories. love the graphs but need better output reports.

I've been using this app for over 2 years and it's been invaluable. I used to struggle with my finances as I'm on a tight budget, so being able to see all my recurring income and outgoings and input individual purchases or refunds helps me accurately track my finances. I can see at a glance (I set mine in 2 week periods) how much is allocated towards bills, and what I'll have left to spend on food and sundries. I haven't gone overdrawn once since I started using this app!

Update 3 stars: When I go in to edit a past Transfer, the origin and target accounts are reset and have to manually specify them. That's difficult when I can't recall what the previous accounts were exactly. Original review: You can review your spending and budget at a glance with the useful graphical chart, and tracking is quite a cinch.

(I don't know how to leave a review on the paid version which I have) When typing in the expense details I wish the top recommended entry was directly above where Im typing. I would like a feature where you can more quickly add common repeat expenses. For example, I usually get the same order at a cafe I go to regularly. I would like to be able to quickly add the description, price, and category of that entry in one or two taps. Not sure how it would be implemented, but it would be very nice :)
