Very handy

This really helps me keep on top of impulse spending. Simple and uncluttered. Fairly easy to use. I gave it 4 stars because Id love to see the developer make this app more gamey and rewarding to "play with."

...Like being able to put a picture in the background of each budget. I could then load an Alaska picture to my eating out budget to constantly remind me the reason Im curbing my eating out is so I could potentially afford my next dream vacation. Etc.

...Or earning myself points as I successfully keep my budgets. The app could let me identify a reward if I successfully keep my budgets for x number weeks. It would be fun to have a notification pop up that said Congrats! Youve earned "(reward I set)." Enjoy!

Etc.

When I am playing against myself I get even more committed. I know, I know... saving should be its own reward, but gameification is fun. It would be a nice distraction to keep me on the path, and hey, that pair of shoes is a good carrot. Life and every app should be more fun to use. :) Thanks for an otherwise great app.
