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.

YNAB has taught millions of people a set of habits to change their relationship with money for good. 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)?

YNAB completely changed my life. I've been using it for almost two years, and in that time I've paid off nearly $20K of debt and have more savings than I've ever had in my life. It takes a little getting used to, but the support is INCREDIBLE; they'll seriously help you with whatever you need. The mobile app has *almost* all the functionality of the web interface. It'd be nice to see account reconciliation and payee management. All the core functionality is there, though; for everything else, there's the web interface. Seriously if you're struggling with *anything* just reach out to support; you won't be disappointed.

Hi Mitchell! Thanks for the review! We're thrilled to hear that YNAB has made such a difference for you. $20k of debt is *huge*! 😊 I've let our Design Team know you'd like to see reconciliation on Android, as well as Payee Management on mobile. You know where to find us if you need anything else. Happy budgeting! - Meghan @ YNAB (help@ynab.com).

YNAB has changed my life. Period. If you feel like you never know where all your money goes and are constantly struggling with bills then get this app. Have been a user way before they even had an app, back when it was more an Excel sheet on crack. But the app makes everything sooo much easier. It literally takes seconds to input a transaction. The app also saves the location of the last Payee. So when you leave your grocery store and pull up the app, it will have all the right information already in there, you just need to input the amount and press save. I am from Europe so I don't even have the option to automatically input transactions and I STILL would recommend this app. Get it. Don't look back.

Hey David, Thank you so much for the five-star review, and for being such a longtime YNABer with us. We truly appreciate you! ❤️ "an Excel sheet on crack" is definitely my favorite way I've heard the original YNAB described 😆 - Matt @ YNAB

simply the best for budgeting. I have tested half a dozen other softwares and services, none come close to ynab. Ive already transformed my budget and have changed the way i handle my financials. factoring in the annual cost its still well worth it. Pay about 8 a month to completely transform and end up saving hundreds if not thousands, thanks to the awesome functionality of this app.
