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.
