Buddy: Budget & Save Money

The app stopped working all of a sudden. It doesn’t open. I tried reinstalling it and restarting the phone

2 dagen deze app geprobeerd. Het syncen gaat opzich goed, de app ziet er visueel erg mooi uit ook. In het budget gedeelte was het voor mij soms niet duidelijk waar bepaalde bedragen op gebaseerd waren bij bijvoorbeeld ‘nog te besteden’. Ik ben uiteindelijk niet verder gegaan met de app omdat mijn telefoon echt heel erg warm werd elke keer als ik de app gebruikte en mijn batterij binnen no-time volledig leegtrok. Dit laat me twijfelen over wat er allemaal op de achtergrond gebeurd. Nu de app verwijderd en mijn telefoon wordt niet heet meer/gaat weer minder snel leeg als met de app.

We really want to like this app,it has smaller and bigger bugs, but the fact that you cannot reach the customer service, like never, makes the whole situation so bad, so we may consider switch to another app.

Ever since the update I can’t see my total of upcoming spendings. Making the app kinda redundant in my opinion. E.g., I can see all the single items (for instance healthcare 200, insurance 150) but not the total (350).

I paid for premium and it does not connect with my ABN AMRO bank. I’ve seen reviews from a year ago saying the same and nothing has changed I see. That’s not good.

Transactions that are planned should also be calculated already according to how much you are still able to spend this month.

Love this app, been using it for a few weeks now and i must say it is easy to use. With this app, i know more about my own finances and save more at the end of the month.

Hij geeft elke keer een error als je je bank wilt koppelen met een betaald account. Waardeloos

Buddy is an amazing tool for planning your budget, and having an overview of all your expenses. It’s easy to use, and the customer support is very friendly and helpful.
Some things could be improved, such as support for accounts with different currencies, but on the whole it’s an amazing app! Highly recommended!

I was looking for a financing app that gave me more insight in my spending and how much I have left over during the month. But what is the point of a budgeting app if there is not a setting where you can set at which day in the month certain expenses get deposited or debited. It will always say I have X amount of dollar left to spend while in reality I do not. I don’t want to do it manually. That defeats the whole purpose.

I downloaded this app and paid for a premium subscription; however, it did not work as expected (it kept prompting me to sign up for premium despite me already having signed up). I contacted customer service, but their suggestions did not help. I deleted the app and asked for a refund, but it was denied. Waste of €52.

The app itself is very well designed and UI is good as well BUT it only supports one single bank which makes it a NO WAY to me. It’s a must have feature for my use cases.

A bit of a scam really. I had to pay the subscription to connect to my bank but it gave an error. It does not work with ABN AMRO. The free part of the app works very nice.

My most used app. It was already great to use and now with bank connection it is unbeatable. The use and user interface/ look and feel are off the charts! Love it and five stars aren’t even enough.

I have premium but stayed looped at basic level but am paying already 1 month subscription and a kiest now. . No contact after 3 emails.. Can’t get into my premium account to connect my bank account Please contact me back.
And refund me for absolutely no services!

App has a good interface and clear separation of accounts, budgets, goals & transactions.
Lack of import implies my past history cannot be compared with. I only prefer/ can do manual import and do not need bank connection. Also, it cannot export any of the above, except transactions, hence leaving out the more useful data for importing/ analyzing elsewhere!
Multi currency support is missing, but not a major deal breaker for me. Other missing features are transferring within budgets and savings goals!

Je kan slechts één bankrekening koppelen, en de koppeling met de bunq bankt werkt niet.

App is Nice and even perfect when it works, helps me track my expenses and make me aware of how much I spend. There are some flaws though, for example, the button to import my bank transactions has disappeared all of a sudden. I can’t find the option to import them anywhere in the settings. It might be a bug but would be easily solved by making a dedicated button to import transactions in the side menu. It’s unusable now since I can’t see my latest transactions in the app. I’m not going to import all of them manually.. also, I’ve paid for the service so would be great to see it actually work
