Money Forecast allows you to track your finances with litte data input only! Simply enter your current account balance as well as (recurrent) transactions (e.g., salary and expenses) and see how your balance will develop over the next few weeks and months. If the prediction was wrong, simply correct it by specifying the actual balance at a specific date, which is used as new basis for further predictions then. This way it helps you to plan your financial situation, and also to decide if an investment should be made now or better later, for example. Also, this app allows you to avoid situations where you forgot about some outgoing transactions and end up with an overdrawn account balance. The best thing about Money Forecast, however, is that you do not need to constantly add new micro transactions - just enter the balance on a particular date, create estimated recurring income/expenses and correct either the balance or actual payments later (for a particular date). First use instructions: 1) Enter the current balance. 2) Add recurrent or one-time transactions (i.e., income and expenses). 3) See how your finances will develop over the next few weeks, months, and years! 4) Adjust the actual account balance for specific (future) dates. This will correct wrong estimations. 5) Adjust the actual value of a recurrent transaction for specific dates only. Simply double-tap the recurring entry in the trends view to adjust (by creating a 'Transaction Exception')! You can manage several accounts with this app (e.g., for several people in your family) and you can also use a PIN (or Touch ID / Face ID) to protect your data! Since the app synchronizes via iCloud, you can also see/edit the data from several devices and restore your data after a complete re-install.
Immediate Subscription Required to Take a Look
The developer wants a subscription immediately - before any part for the application can be seen. Although the terms appear to be reasonable, it is irritating; almost like bait and switch tactics.
Hidden fees
The app is listed as free but as soon as you install and open it, you must buy a subscription. I also doubt their use of the word prediction and think its more like math.
No bi-weekly income selection
I get paid every other week but there is no option to show biweekly income. Fix this and I can use the app and give you more stars.
Nice app, Needs some updates
The app works well for seeing a projected cash flow, but it lacks when tracking finances with current information. If I have a transaction scheduled, I would like the ability to mark it as scheduled for payment. I would also like the ability to adjust the date for a single occurrence of a recurring payment, for example if I pay it early. I also agree with other reviews that a calendar view would be good. I once used a previous app that allowed swiping to Delete or Skip a scheduled transaction. That method was very efficient.
Almost perfect
I downloaded this after CashFlow app was taken off the App Store that I loved and was super helpful. The only thing I would say to add, and only reason I give it 4 stars is to adjust the date on “adjust estimate.” Sometimes I alter payments around my paycheck dates, so that would be really helpful, but it’s something I can work around.
Wonderful
This app does quickly what I spent years perfecting in Excel. Wonderful job to the developer. Keep up the good work, and thank you for helping me get back on track with my finances.
Almost perfect
If the developer would allow to move the dates on individual reoccurring transactions it would certainly be a 5 star. Just as life is uncertain, expenses are as well.
