About this app

Where does your money go? Frustrated you aren’t getting ahead? Entirely unsure about your future? You’re asking the right questions but the world has taught you to think about money all wrong. You aren’t broke, but your money mindset is. It’s time to change your relationship with money and enjoy your spending.

Don’t settle for a life of constantly second-guessing your spending decisions, your progress, and your future—trapped somewhere between defeated, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. There is another way.

You need a set of habits to change your mindset and your behavior, until you are spending purposefully, saving aspirationally, and even giving generously.

As these habits become second nature, you’ll stop fighting about money, make better decisions, and sleep better at night. Confident, secure — are you ready to feel this way about your money (and so much more)?

not as robust or as good as The web app. when paying off my credit card I have to go to the web app because I can't find the category and the phone app. otherwise this is fantastic. I've been able to accurately pay so many bills, and plan for surprises. I've only been using this since February (two whole months) and it's been a game changer. I came from mint and mint was really not good at helping me save money, just tracking money, so less of a budgeting tool and more of a tracking tool.

This is a great budget app, full stop. I like that it deals only with money you actually have, which is an issue I had with Everydollar. I have one big complaint though. I signed up for the yearly subscription, and I thought I'd already paid. Either way, the app auto-adds a budget item for the subscription but sets the due date for NEXT YEAR. I have to reshuffle my money to cover the subscription. I'd also like to see a one-time paid lifetime license rather than a perpetual yearly arrangement

Oh that's good feedback about the target! Since we want you to be ready for those non\-monthly expenses it feels a bit like we set you up for failure there. I'll pass that along to the team. Glad you're loving YNAB otherwise, though! \- Angela @ YNAB

I really wanted to like this because I heard such good things about it from family. However, I think it just didn't fit my account setup and preferred budgeting style. I like to pay things off per paycheck so I know how much I have to spend every week. However, the dates that YNAB lists purchases and clears them is confusing, and having middle-man accounts like PayPal when you also have PayPal Credit just makes it worse. Just the loan and credit payment system is hard to understand.
