Fudget: Monthly Budget Planner 4+

First off, ignore the negative comments, especially the “money grab” comments.
The developer has a right to fair pay for his work. The annual subscription is reasonable, and isn’t as bad as most other developers. Seems like people want to pay one time, and then have the developer constantly update it for free. I was against app subscriptions when it started catching on, but, with time I get it. I had several one time payment apps that I’d had for years, and, they had gotten quite stale and lifeless, and almost seemed to be developer abandoned. I don’t mind paying now, if I get regular updates.
Give the developers a break.

Used the original for what seems forever. I love the simplicity and accuracy of it. This updated version is a big improvement over the original. Feels cleaner and neater. I used it as my checkbook register, bills list, balance due on several monthly accounts. Other budget type apps I had used and tried were clunky and full of junk I never used, wanted, or needed. The only things I’d like to see are Home Screen widgets, and the date column only appear in selected budgets, it’s universal to all budgets when selected. It gets in the way on some budgets that don’t require dates. Other than that it’s great. Highly recommend.

Thanks for your kind review, Manic Bobo. And for your suggestions. For the date thing, perhaps we could add an "Always hide date column" checkbox to the Edit Budget popup, which will always hide it for that particular budget.

Hello! I don’t often leave reviews but I felt a need to in this case. I have used fidget for years, consistently and with no complaints. It is simple, quick to use, and simplifies finances that I am very good at complicating. 🤣 I just came to see if there was an update for me to download and noticed that there is a new subscription version. I groaned at first, because I have the older version of fudget that I had already paid for, but when I saw some of the features I thought I would at least take a look at it. Put simply, it has all of the little things that I’d hoped to have added, and I’m very exciting at the prospect of a desktop version that syncs with my phone. I also noticed that if you already had an older paid version, Dan offers you a deal on signing up for the new version. For me, $15 (or $19 if you’re new) a year for this app that I use all the time is totally worth it. Why shouldn’t Dan get paid for something he’s created that’s so helpful?! Plus, it has a great name. 😘 Oh, AND you can use Dropbox to port over previous data in seconds. I was able to move all of my silly financial schemes that I’d already made to the new version in the blink of an eye. Thanks, Dan!

Wow! Thanks very much for your kind review 👍

This is, without exaggeration, the best budget app I’ve ever tried. I’ve used all the competitors and have paid subscriptions for numerous budgeting apps. None of them have worked for me.

But with Fudget everything is so intuitive and straightforward. For example, earlier today I thought “Hm, it’d be nice to be able to sort my monthly budgets into folders.” Lo and behold, you can easily sort budgets into folders and sub folders! You can even have a monthly budget with multiple subcategories, and each sub category is its own budget. The math is impressive as well; it only gives you the information you care about, no bells and whistles (and no ads!)

I’m extremely impressed. For the first time in my life, I was able to budget out an entire month AND stick to it. I’m endlessly grateful!

Wow, thanks Jejaknsha! 👍
