Ratings and Reviews
Works well, great design, but text lacks adjustment
Good experience with Savings 3 usability, never any errors with information or transactions. The app contains just the right amount of features. I like the trends display a lot. I personally have not used the bank connection. Execellent visual layout -- not your eye-bending spreadsheet grid. The gray text notes line looks great.
Unfortunately, the text cannot be changed in any way. I personally have a hard time seeing the brighter green text and the red is so-so. Font size cannot be changed. Also, the transaction selection is unnecessarily harsh: black-to-white text color reversal with cobalt blue in whole box. Much subtler methods exist. For example, the app highlights each account with a simple gray band -- perfect.
For me, the text color is a deal-breaker and I had to move to another app that gives you great choice on text, but is much less elegant overall. I'd be right back with Savings if text color, size and highlighting could be adjusted.
Four stars for great design, just missing user adjustment on visuals.
Developer Response ,
Hi there, these are good feedback regarding color and design. We will look into fixing it in a future update. Thanks!
Very Good
I've been using this since 2013, and am happy with it. It took me several years before I started using the Scheduled transactions, and it has simplified my tracking of bills greatly.
The app has never used check numbers well, reflecting that checks are, evidently, going out of fashion, but I still use them for many of my payments directly from my bank account.
The reconciliations save me enormous amounts of time, even though they have not always been accurate in matching outstanding and the equivalent "new" transactions. But it's fairly straightforward to find the error when it occurs.
The program is gracefully straightforward, not requiring knowledge of double-entry bookkeeping.
The best money manager I've found
I have tried so many money management apps in the App Store and just in general. None of them offer the simplicity and straightforward-ness I am looking for, like I found in GreenBooks. There is no extraneous feature in GreenBooks, everything in thre has purpose. Small interactions like entering everyday transaction are well thought out, you can clearly sense the attention the developer put into this app.
What I love the most are the Breakdown and Trends chart. They are just the charts I need to have a complete overview of my finance, without the complexity I find in other apps.
I also use the Budget feature to control the limited amount of spending I can afford each month. As a result of creating my monthly budget, I can honestly say I've already saved hundreds of dollars because the simple act of checking my budget everyday motivates me to spend less each day on categories such as Food.
I can't recommend this app enough. I think this app should definitely get more attention. Look no further if you are looking for a simple finance app that does everything you want and nothing you don't.
