Good budgeting app but has an obvious bug needing to be fixed
This app has much better sync than previous versions of MoneyWell. Also improved is the workflow of entering transactions. Note: There was a previous version of MoneyWell before MoneyWell Express came out to replace it. I am comparing it to that original app since this is a complete re-write but the same purpose by the same developer.
Feature requests: 1) What I want to see in the future is ability to view spending plan, recurring transactions, reports, and more. 2) Also would be great to have additional functions from the Mac counter-part like assigning income to expense buckets, transferring bucket amounts, etc.
Issues: 1) dollar amounts for buckets and accounts seem to load too slow, surely that can be improved, 2) there is a bug in this version which shows "yesterdays" transactions as "todays", and sometimes vice-versa, in the Activity view pane.
Note: In regards to having to pay more for an app (IAP) when I already paid for the previous version for iOS... normally that wouldnt bug me if its a major version change, but this app doesnt bring much new to the table other than much improved Dropbox sync, so it feels like a quick cash grab. Not to mention that being a complete re-write makes it nicer but also a bit buggier again.
Overall: I use this with MoneyWell on my Mac too. Its definitely good software and well worth it if you want envelope budgeting which is a proven method for budgeting.
Alternatives to look at: MoneyWiz, YNAB, Money, and iBank.
