You can't set one budget to all wallets. For example: if you have 9 wallets in your family, then you need to have 9 budgets for food, 9 budgets for clothes and so on.
Con Difficult to update debt
There is no guideline for updating debt. Every debt goes to the wallet including Mortgage Bond. When updating the opening balance of (for example) the Mortgage Bond, it appears in the bank balance as part of the total positive balance.
Con No import
Cannot import data from my previous app. Transitioning to Money Lover became a very time-consuming task.
Con You have to pay for icons
When buying premium, you should get all features. Unfortunately, you still have to pay for icons.
Con No support for credit card accounts
Con Basic app is free but with advertisements
The free version of Money Lover includes small banner advertisements at the bottom of the application. They aren't too intrusive but they can be annoying. Removing the advertisements is a $2.00 in app purchase.

Con Monthly payments
Some features need monthly payments
Con Annoying ads
Recent update causes ads to be shown in app.
