Here is a sample from the HomeMoneyManager Google reviews page. Thank you everyone for the five star reviews and for the kind words. Much appreciated!
Barefoot Investor MoneyFormula App Google Five Star Review
I am using Home Money Manager for over 10 years (lost track really) Its an easy to use program and help me keep track of my accounts.
Barefoot Investor MoneyFormula App Google Five Star Review
... I can keep right on top of where my money's being spent. I'd be lost without it. I run the software on a MacBookPro and it has been very reliable. On the rare occasion when I've had to contact the support team for some advice, they have been very prompt and helpful. I would definitely recommend you check them out.
Barefoot Investor MoneyFormula App Google Five Star Review
I have been using this software for two types of loan accounts; a standard variable mortgage loan and a fixed interest loan. It works perfectly for both loan types and it is easy to use as well as accurate and reliable. I also like to say that the support provided to answer questions was fantastic. Matthew was very helpful and thorough. I am so grateful for his amazing extra help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MoneyFormula provide specific financial advice for my individual situation?
No - The information provided by MoneyFormula and HomeMoneyManager is general in nature. It does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. Please speak to a qualified financial adviser if you need specific advice on your finances.

Do I have to sacrifice all fun things (or “discretionary spending” as the pros call it) to succeed?
No - One of the three main MoneyFormula buckets is called “Fun Spending” and it is there so that you keep spending on fun things.

This is similar to the Barefoot Investor "Smile" account that has a small amount you can blow each month on anything you want.

Does MoneyFormula start by sucking in all my bank details, categorising all my transactions, and ... just give me lots of numbers?
No - Money and finances are as much about habits and personalities as they are about numbers, so unless you know what you are trying to fix, simply throwing lots of numbers at it probably won't help.

MoneyFormula will help you quickly work out what you want and what you have to do to achieve it, and as you progress on your path to success the tools will provide you with all the number crunching and real-time answers you need.

MoneyFormula does let you import transactions and balances and it has a great Category AutoMatcher tool that will help you do a quick spending review to work out how work out how much you need in your Barefoot Daily Expense account; and there how much income to split between your other Blow Buckets account (Fire Extinguisher, Smile and Splurge).

YES - MoneyFormula is 100% Australian owned and is 100% run in and from Australia.

All your Barefoot Investor data stays within Australia in top-tier data centres on the East Coast of Australia and all your Barefoot Investor data is protected by Australian business and data custodian laws.

Do I have to track every dollar, give every dollar a job or micro-manage my finances?
No - MoneyFormula keeps things simple by using money flows and buckets; and with a focus on achieving goals, saving money and crushing debt.

You can dive into the details if and when you need to and track accounts down to transaction level and so on, but it is designed to work just fine without.

It does all the hard work for you and automatically provides you with real-time answers so you always have the latest information at your fingertips letting you concentrate on the more important things in life.

Is the MoneyFormula App for iPhone, Android, iPad, Tablet, Laptop, Desktop, iOS, Mac OS X, Windows 8, 10, 11?
YES - The MoneyFormula App is designed to work on all modern devices (mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop) and will automatically scale depending on your screen size; so apart from a couple of slight layout changes (menu bottom or side, etc.) you get the same full version no matter what device you use.

This is great because you don't have to use a "web" version for some Barefoot Investor things and the "mobile" version for other Barefoot Investor things; the same app means you can do everything from any device.

You can also access your Barefoot Investor data 24/7 from multiple devices as you move throughout your day (e.g. laptop at home, mobile while out and about, desktop at work, tablet at home, etc.) and the app will share the same data between all your devices so if you update your Barefoot Investor data on one it is available on the others.

Is MoneyFormula designed for the Australian homeowner or is it an app for financial professionals (mortgage brokers, financial planners, etc.)?
MoneyFormula is 100% designed with the Australian homeonwer in mind.

It is not one of those overly complex fincial planning products designed for the finance industry that is then also released onto the public.

From start to finish, top to bottom, MoneyFormula is a mortgage and personal finance app designed to put you in control of your Barefoot Investor finances, that is easy to use, yet extremely powerful.

With his focus on date nights, serviette strategy, unique bucket names and simple barefoot steps, it makes for an entertaining read that also claims to be the only money guide you'll ever need.
