2026-05-26	On*****	Out of the five tabs that are included in this app only two of them work. The rest just have a purple dial in the middle acting like it's working on it but nothing ever happens. The app simply has major flaws. I have an iphone 17 and great internet. It is definitely not user error here.

2026-02-07	Ar*****	UPDATE- Igor figured out what the issue was!! First and foremost, even though we have had previous communication by email with no issues, this time I requested support all of his replies were getting sent to my spam folder so I wasn’t seeing them. So the amazing customer service I enjoyed before is absolutely still the case. It didn’t even occur to me to check my spam folder since we had multiple communications in the past that way so I kinda feel stupid for assuming he wasn’t replying… Once we figured that out, he was able to solve my transaction / bank problem immediately and of course he is looking into it more to make sure it isn’t a problem moving forward for anyone else. So everything in my review from before no longer applies! I truly love this app and it has helped my budgeting and bill tracking process drastically. While I love the app, the customer service continues to be the best part of the experience. If you don’t get a reply, just double check your spam folder! 😅 Thank you again, Igor!! I’ve been using this app for quite some time now and it was absolutely amazing until very recently. As of January 21st, the app says it is synced to my bank accounts but is not uploading any of my transactions. I’ve reached out to support multiple times via email where I used to get responses very quickly from the developer Igor who has in the past provided such amazing customer service, but I am not getting any replies from him anymore since this issue started. Up until this started I would have told anyone and everyone I would be a lifetime customer, but if this doesn’t get fixed and I can’t get in touch with customer service for help then I am going to be forced to find another way to keep track of my budget. I’m really starting to struggle to keep track of my stuff now since my transactions aren’t uploading. I don’t want to find someone else, I have absolutely loved this app in particular and have tried so many others, so I’m really really bummed… please please fix this issue as soon as possible, Igor. 😢 i am for real so sad about this.

2025-07-28	__*****	As a person who has tried multiple apps,physical envelopes,spreadsheet, you name it. This app has been amazing! Any questions I have are answered within a timely manner and not weeks later. They take suggestions to improve the app. $7.99 a month, trust me it’s worth it. I always wanted to try “free” options to save money and thought Why would you pay for a budgeting app? This app proved me wrong! Do yourself a favor and try this app out!

2025-07-02	Ka*****	The developers of this app are amazing. I’ve made suggestions and sent emails and often times they got back to me fairly quickly and if it was within their ability to do what I asked, they did it, which is so different then any other development company I have dealt withbefore. They have been kind and generous to their supporters and I greatly appreciate the work and passion they pour into their app. budgeting is a passion of mine. I have gone through every single budgeting app in the App Store and I can gladly say this is one of the best, the app in itself is nice, I love the envelope system and they have made it easy to use with their auto assign features, category groups and goals. I believe it has room to grow and become even better and I can't wait to see where they go from here.

2025-06-11	tr*****	This app is not yet feature complete enough for me to use. Setting that aside for a moment, they’re off to a really great start. Most significantly, the app is incredibly snappy. Budgeting a whole list of categories goes really fast, whereas other apps make this a slow and cumbersome process. The same is true for manually categorizing transactions. Because I know they’re going to ask, Here are some features I’m missing that would be necessary for me to consider actually converting: - Import apple account transactions. I wish this weren’t a custom API. - The ability to budget entire category groups automatically, eg, “budget all for upcoming transactions” or “budget all for average spent” - Smarter category suggestions — when a transaction payee matches a previous transaction it should suggest that category at the top of the list. - some sort of import from YNAB would be really useful, even if it required manually exporting my data. I spent about an hour copying my categories over, and I didn’t even finish. If I were to migrate, it would be a disappointment to lose all my historical categorization, but not necessarily a dealbreaker. Just getting the categories and amounts allocated would be huge.

While it IS missing a few features that YNAB has (reordering of accts, inability to sync with investment, retirement, loan accts - tho the app does say this is coming soon) it’s definitely something I can look past. Both the UI and UX have been superior to YNAB in my opinion; a lot cleaner and with a more minimalist look. Igor the dev has been excellent in responding to questions and concerns and the app does have an area where the users can vote on new features which is an awesome feature for new apps or services. Much like any new app or startup tho, I do hope Kualia sticks with their plans to add new features while maintaining a fair (and hopefully lower) price compared to their competitors. Time will tell and until then, I’ll be using Kualia for the foreseeable future.

I’ve tried other budgeting apps but they were too complicated and difficult to use, but this app, is quite the opposite. As a minimalist and a penny pincher, this app fits perfectly into my life style. It was so easy to link my bank account. The app is very beautiful too.
