I’ve poked around at various budgeting apps over the years, but nothing ever really clicked with me in a way that I could be successful in establishing a budget. With DAS Budget, not only am I successfully moving money into savings each month, I’m setting aside money for goals that I hadn’t even thought of!I had a big career change a few years back, and hadn’t been able to afford a lot of gift exchanges for Christmas since then. I now have a goal saving up for next year so I can change that. I’ve been holding on to my phone because I couldn’t finance a new one and didn’t want to empty what little money I had set aside. I now have a goal for that as well! For a lot of people, when they see ANYTHING that’s not free, they tend to move on (and I get it), but I promise you, this one is worth it. I’m paying for a Premium annual and all I did was set a bucket for next year, and it’s such a small amount set aside from each paycheck I won’t even notice it, but I’ll sure notice how my savings is growing thanks to this app! I can’t recommend it enough and I wish these developers many years of success (partially out of selfishness because I’ll be lost again without their app, haha)
Game changer
rechief
I can’t say enough nice things about this app. It basically allows you to (automatically or manually) “hide” money in your accounts from yourself in different kinds of partitions. By way of example, I have one for rent that gets automatically funded each time I get paid, and when I pay rent, the money is “spent” out of that partition, so I don’t even have to think about it. I also have ones for various bills, a rainy day fund that vacuums up the leftover cents from each purchase I make, one that’s saving up money for a vacation next year… it takes all the stress (and mental math) out of budgeting, but gives you so much more control than apps that want to do it all for you. An essential companion to your banking app.
Excellent “Simple Bank” or Pocket-style Budgeting App
Rebannford
I started at Simple Bank, went to One Finance, and then found this app. It’s an excellent replacement. In fact, it’s better than both Simple and One because it not only allows me to budget in a way that makes sense for me, but it also lets me manage both my personal budget and business budget (I.e. multiple bank accounts) in the same app. This, this app is perfect for you if you prefer pocket-style budgeting; you are a Simple Bank Refugee; and/or you would like to manage more than one bank account with pocket-style budgeting.Can’t wait for the web app (in process) as that is where I primarily manage money, but even with iOS, it is simply fantastic.
Finally, a solution!
Caveecat
Been using this app since the beta, and I’ve got to say, I went from trying my best to make three different budgeting apps/solutions work with my impulsive ADHD-driven spending habits to just checking DAS to see if I can afford something.The app works with a free to spend concept that’s great, but can also be adopted to work for zero balance budgeting as well, uses both Plaid and MX to connect to banks so basically everyone is covered, even the state credit union my mom got me an account at when I was born whose tech remains in the Dark Ages, and there’s a lot of customization options with colors and categories galore.Honestly, I’ve been able to be so much more conscious of my money since trying this app, with far less micromanaging. It’s insane how easy it is to see where things are headed and tweak accordingly! It’s actually designed to set and forget, but I’m a micromanager at heart, so just know it works for both methods of money management.There’s a month trial baked in if you choose an annual subscription, so just give it a try! It’s awesome!
This release brings home-screen widgets, a faster way to find your bank, plus a round of reliability fixes for Free-to-Spend, Activity, and reports.
What's new
• Home-screen widgets: See your Free-to-Spend right from your home screen, without opening the app.
• New plans and upgrade flow: Choose between Essentials and Premium tiers in a redesigned upgrade flow.
Improvements
• Bank picker: Search for your bank by name, so you can find and connect accounts faster.
• More reliable syncing: We rebuilt how transactions sync from your bank. Pending charges now settle into their posted versions more cleanly, and transactions that drop off your bank are cleared out correctly.
Bug fixes
• Free-to-Spend: No longer reverts to an old value after you edit buckets, update a widget, or switch budgets.
• Reports: "Last month," "last quarter," and "last year" ranges now include the full final day, and the income chart respects the filters you've set.
• Buckets: Bucket group reordering now saves, and deleted groups no longer linger.
• Notifications: Taps once again open the right screen when app lock is on.
• Rules: Creating a rule no longer over-matches by splitting the merchant name into stray keywords.
• Categories: Manually set transaction categories now stay put across bank syncs.
