App Reviews
Users from all over...
Simple, small app with questions I haven't thought of when it comes to buying. I hope it is still actively being developed. Like a small widget showing how many purchases I saved or just a simple backup of data could be potential features. But the basic features so far seem enough.

I’ve been dreaming of a cute and functional no-spend app that encourages you to think more intentionally about purchases and this is it. The interface is absurdly cute and makes me want to open and use it more than with most tracking apps I’ve tried for various reasons. I hope to see it grow and add features over time but expect I’ll use this a lot to gamify not spending!
B.
I am definitely guilty of being easily influenced online and on social media, and I love that this app helps keep me accountable from buying things that I don’t need! The questions help me realize if I truly need the item or if it is just an impulse buy. Great layout and simple to use!
