About this app

YNAB is a simple method and budgeting app that has taught millions of people to change their relationship with money. Stop arguing about finances, quit doing mental math to figure out if you can afford stuff and start taking control of your finances.

Break up with your inconvenient (and old fashioned) budget spreadsheet for an all-in-one solution that acts as an expense manager, bill organizer, financial planner, debt demolisher, net worth tracker, and goal setting tool with YNAB, a money saving app based on a simple and proven method for managing your finances.

You don’t need someone to tell you how to spend your money. You just need a tool that offers a big-picture perspective of your finances so that you can stop wasting dollars on things that don’t matter to you and start spending intentionally on the things that do. YNAB can help.

My experience with this app over the last couple years has been overall very good. It definitely has a learning curve and I think it helps to be a bit financially/mathematically savvy already, but I found the YouTube tutorials to be very helpful, sometimes watching them a couple times. I have seen a great improvement in my finances since I started using it and sticking to a budget. I agree with another reviewer that having reports on the app would be nice.

I've been using YNAB for years for a reason. It's the best budgeting app and budgeting system (at least for me). I simply could not wrap my mind around "forecasting" a budget where I'd guess at my needs and categories, then I'd get overwhelmed when things didn't match up. Enter YNAB where you give every dollar you have a job (and only those dollars), but it's so easy to move things around when needed. And the YNAB team is over the top! I would never be without this app.

Long time YNAB user. Unfortunately as they increase the price they are vastly reducing the quality service. You can now only deal with them via a badly designed chat bot that does not allow free text just multiple choice boxes. The import feature that used to be highly accurate is now extremely bad, resulting in items ending up in categories they never should. Going to wipe and start again with another app.

Hey BP! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the chat! It will ask a few questions first, but then you can type out your question. If transactions are getting miscategorized, the bank may have changed something on their side \- chat in or email at help@ynab.com and we'll be happy to help! \- Kat @ YNAB
