App Profile: Lunch Money

Their web service for finance management is already one of the best, and this App provides a really valuable addition for simple snapshots of your accounts. It’s especially helpful for manual cash transactions as I prefer to do this on an App. NOTE: Lunch Money is already set apart from most others because they integrate multi currency accounts! I have tested many and consider LM to be similar to Wallet by Budget Bakers, Buddy Budget and Spendee (Buddy doesn’t have multi-currency yet). Spendee is a one time purchase and has a really beautiful UI, but the connection problems with certain institutions has not been worked out yet (and Wallet has even more issues with connections). If Lunch Money proves they are more stable then I will be switching from Spendee

This mobile app is a companion to the web app. It has more limited functionality compared to the web app since Lunch Money is focused on a web-first experience. Getting started was relatively straightforward! This is a breath of fresh air compared to some money management tools that have high learning curves. I love that it allows for me to set certain categories to rollover funds from one budget period to the next. This is great for variable expense categories like gifts, emergency fund, sinking funds, etc. I also really love that you can set custom budget periods. You don’t have to follow the traditional monthly budget period if you don’t want to! You can set budget periods that align with your paycheck schedule.

This has everything I wanted, the devs are responsive and helpful, the community is kind. The ability to edit individual transactions is easy as well as mark them as reviewed or not. The analyze or budgeting features are also super easy to use. 100/10
