Sugar Budget 4+

Pros:
- Like the social media feeds the app is motivating and highlighted how much money I could be saving to invest
- the setup was easy and I smoothly entered data
- it’s pretty

Cons:
- it doesn’t provide a simple summary of what/when/how to save for my goals. It took quite a few minutes flicking through and comparing months to work out it was telling me how much to put into accounts for various expenditure, but it was not apparent.
- the tutorial literally points at icons labelled “budget” and says “this is your budget” gee, thanks.
- you can’t delete expenses, you can change the amount but not delete or rename them, I’m stuck with 2 tuckshop entries now and it also shows pre-populated items I don’t have.
- I’d really like a spending tracker, what the app has taught me is I’m spending more than I think but the app isn’t helping me find that expenditure with a tracker function

I would prefer if this was connected to actual bank accounts to get a true representation of money spends and where to make changes. Looks great, but very basic, and for essentially the same budget you email out for free.

I find this app very helpful and easy to use. Plus it is really well formatted.
I think this app would be even more practical if it had a section where you can input your spendings (as you spend) to ensure that you don’t go over your planned expenses for each week/ month.
