User Reviews

Users like the app’s aesthetics and manual budgeting basics, but frequent complaints focus on paywalls/pricing confusion, data loss during updates/rebrands, and missing core features (recurring payments, transfers between budgets, dashboard). The redesign is often blamed for hurting usability, leading many to seek alternatives, though some still find basic tracking usable.

Pros

Visually appealing, game-like design that makes budgeting engaging.
Manual data entry without bank integrations gives users control over budgeting.
Clear budgeting concepts that help users see where their money stands.
Envelope-style subcategories within budgets (a useful organizational feature).
For simple budgets, basic tracking remains easy and effective in some cases.

Cons

Pricing and monetization issues: misleading free tier, unclear or expensive premium pricing, and paywalls locking features.
Major data migration and loss problems after rebranding/update; budgets and transactions disappear or fail to migrate.
Missing essential features and rigidity: cannot move money between budgets, can't customize cycle start/reset dates, no recurring payments, and no single view of all categories.
Clunky, unintuitive UI after the overhaul; long setup and learning curve; prior data and workflows disrupted.
Reliability bugs and inconsistent behavior: sudden budget jumps, app crashes, and features not working as expected.

Recent reviews

The new interface is terrible. The old UI when it was still fold worked so much better. This new version doesn’t allow for carryover of excess expenses or of excess budget. You can only make top ups or expenses on the front page not within each category like you could before which makes using the app clunky and slow. The only good part kept was the subcategories within the envelopes but even that is pay walled even though i spent money on the lifetime access in the past.

Under the fold app the budget tracker was great. After rebranding to Money Journal they completely botched and ruined the app. Absolutely hate it. Their FLEXIBLE expenses doesn’t allow you to rollover and it only allows monthly budget tracking (as opposed to including annual and weekly too). Meaning it’s useless for me as I need both Hate the upgrade. Will download a different one and hope I can get a refund on this.

Shows as free but after a few days it locks you out of features and accounts you created. Find a better app that’s not trying to mislead you with sneaky marketing tactics.
