Software Reviews and Criticism

  Perfect Little App

  I track my income/expenses weekly. This little app is PERFECT for that. Every week I have a new budget and I am able to input for each week my recurring expenses which enables me to see what I have left over that week for extra things I want or savings. I was using a paper budget book which I like but this eliminates my need to buy more paper. It also allows me to make adjustments without having to erase and make room for additions etc which paper requires. I have tried the more robust software and while they work well, they are just way more than I need. The only suggestion I can make after having just started using it is that there be one more space for each entry. I can create categories but it would also be nice to make a note on those entries. For example Groceries…I’d like to be able to note where I got the groceries. But that can be worked around by adding the merchant name in the category name. It’s just a wee little suggestion. This app is truly perfect and it’s exactly what I was wanting to replace my simple IN/OUT budget calculations. Thank you for making it so affordable.

  THANK YOU FOR FUDGET!

  This will sound like I'm your mother, but I'm not. FINALLY a way to help me pay all my bills and know how much money I actually have for bills and daily living. I had been using Evernote for years, but quite frankly, for money management it was taunting to keep up to date. We are on a fixed income and Fudget allows me to review my monthly bills easily by copying the previous month and adjusting if I need to. When Fudget tells me what my balance is, I know what I have for things like gas, groceries, etc. I can see easily what needs to be paid and when. Although, I mostly just go in to the app twice a month to pay bills, as our income comes in. I no longer "wonder" if I have enough money for the month. This is a brilliantly simple and easy to use app!

  Best budgeting software I’ve ever used in 25 years

  I’ve been using financial planning and budgeting software forever, and I’ve never been able to stick to a budget. Too many features, too fiddly, too much effort to keep track of all expenses and get them into the software. Fudget is the first app I’ve ever found that is not only *exactly* what I need, it’s *no more* than what I need. Within an hour of installing it, I bought it for my Android/iPad/Windows as a complete no-brainer. Only caveat: if you use it on multiple devices, you need to remember to save your data to Dropbox in order to sync it; if you forget, you have to be careful not to update your budget in two places. The developer says this will be fixed in version 2.

  Set up is a breeze! As clear as anything I have dreamed of!

  I have used Money and other popular budgeting applications in the past and finally just threw my hands up. I am NOT stupid. And I tested software before retiring so I am very critical of anything that leaves the end user helpless and feeling lost. Or fields that don’t take the data they are meant to…or the inability to change your mind without losing everything that you entered before! I would (and will) recommend this honey of a budgeting app to all my adult children and newly ‘adult-ed’ grandchildren starting their own households. BLESS YOU!!!@!
