Hi,
I download moneycontrol to windows 8, and for iphone app. In the iphone version I could activate the Sync option with no problem, but I can’t find the option to sync on windows 8 app. How I should do that?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Hi,
as in the iOS app the Dropbox connection has to be activated in the app settings on Windows 8.1 as well. You will find the app settings in the „Settings charm“, which is the default place on Windows 8. Just swipe vom the right edge of the display to the left to bring up the Settings charm and then select the app settings.
Hi,
I use your app, but I think that you could improve some features.
On the desktop version, the date is not easy to fill in. You have to click many times when you enter an old date.
Why we can’t duplicate an entry?
There is an app on iTunes called Squirrel (free download limited for 14 days). I like this app because the date is easier to fill in, you can duplicate entry, there use a table with all entries that you can modify.
Are you going to make some improvements?
Thanks for your assistance

Hi,
thank you very much for your feedback and the proposed functions. We will definitely look into this and consider these for the next update.
Hoy can i see next MONTH??
Hi,
which version of the App (iOS, Mac, Windows Phone, Windows 8.1) are you using? The concrete action is a little different on each platform, but in general in every version you will find a button „Month selection“ on the entries page to switch between months.
Hello guys.
Really great app. But i have a question… Is it possible to share data wirh an otber user (otber Apple account) ? I want to use MoneyControl to build a family budget !
Is it possible ? Or is it on the ToDoList ?
Hi,
you can use the Dropbox sync (activate it in the apps settings) to exchange your data with other devices and family members.
Why does it show special limitations as to how many times you can use certain inputs?
What does the pro cost and is it limited as well?
If I were to purchase this couldn’t I use as many inputs as I wish?
I don’t clearly understand the limitation comments. Could you please clarify them for me and other obviously?
Hi,
the basic version of MoneyControl can be used free of charge. It can handle up to 20 entries per month and up to 3 recurring templates. If you want to remove these limitations you can purchse the Premium Upgrade as In-App Purchase.
Sorry Ill rephrase that. Can I add reoccurring income?
Hi,
sure you can. Simply add a new recurring entrny and select an income category. If an entry represents an income or an expense is defined by the selected category only.
Hello,
What about the app on Android cells ? It was for july but still nothing
Hi,
we announced the first Beta Test for July. The test is still running and we are planning to release the first Version early September.
Hello,
Running v 1.2 on Mac OSX 10.9.4. My OS is set to UK GPB currency and so is Money Control in the settings. In Money control entries are shown as GPB but despite this the US $ symbol is shown in various areas throughout the application. Can this be fixed ?
THanks
Dear,
Yesterday I installed the beta version of OS X Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. Since then I had some problems with the app called ‚MoneyControl‘.
When I open the settings tab, the top icons are missing, though I can click on the places where there should be an icon.
Also when I make a new category and try to select an icon, everytime I click on an icon it opens the same window with all the icons. In other words I can’t chose an icon and thereby I can’t make a new category.
I hope this problem will be fixed soon.
With kind regards
Victor Van Wassenhove
Hello,
thank you very much for that hint. We have been able to reporduce this issue. It seems that this is an problem in the Yosemite Beta rather than in MoneyControl. We have filed a bug report to Apple and keep an eye on that.
La apps es excelente. Podrían agregar una sección para llevar las finanzas personales y de la empresa por separado. Gracias
I want to support Japanese Yen.
Hello,
the app should automatically use the currency from your system settings. You can also set the currency manually in the apps settings.
Hi,
I have one question. I am using MoneyControl basic version in Windows 8.1. How can I add categories in income and expense entry? I cannnot find any option button. Any help?
Hi,
as in all Windows 8 apps the app settings are located in the Windows Charms Bar. Swipe from the right display edge to the center on a touch device or to the same gesture with the mouse to show the Charms Bar. In the apps settings you will find can manage your categories.
Hi, i want buy it on my windows phone device. But i have a question: if i buy it on windows phone, is also available on windows 8.1? I know that now windows market are unified. I’m also waiting for multi currencies, news about it?
Thank you.
Hi,
Windows Phone and Windows 8 are still two very different platforms. Of course the look and feel is quite similar but internally the systems are very different. Thus we the Windows 8 version is not just a bigger version of the Windows Phone app but. We spend a lot of time, work and money to re-build the app from scratch. Because of this both apps are sold separately and and due to the very low price we think that this is quite fair solution.
Hi.
This month the Budget calculation in my App doesnt work well. I spent more Money than i had so my Giro is negative but the App says I have still Budget left.
How can i fix it?
Thank you.
Hi, I bought the app for iPhone and after a few weeks I decided to buy it also for Mac where I can better manage my expenses at the price of 15 chf. The app for iPhone never gave me problems, the one for Mac when I bought it was in italian language, then after 8/10 months it switched the language automatically in german. Can I know why and how can I switch it back to italian? Hope for an answer!
Thanks!
Hi,
this must be a misunderstanding, because there is no (and never was a) localized Italian version of the app. The app is currently available in English, Spanish, French and German where English is the default language. Thus if not supported language is available the app should operate in English. Check the language settings of your system if German is defined as fallback language.
Hi guys! Any news about the multi-currency feature?
I would like a special report by month and year total. First, income and expenses after ordered groups and each with their categories. At the end of each month, a result of less income and expenses and accumulated from previous months.
Hi,
the app offers different reports but of cours not every possible scenario can be coverd. You can use the CSV-Export function in the app settings to create a CSV file and export it to your computer. There you can use Excel to create any report you wish.
Hi,
Do you have MoneyControl for Android phones? I am waiting for it. Thanks.

Hi,
we are planing to release the Android version in summer.
That would be great since i’ve an android tablet and would like to use money control on it too. Will it be possible to sync in between the ios app and the android app?
Hi,
the Android version will support Dropbox sync of course. Sync with other devices such as the iPhone will be no problem.
Hi. can you please let me know when the multi-currency will be available? Thanks, this app is really useful!
Hi,
this feature is on our ToDo List but we cannot tell any concrete release data yet, sorry.
I purchased the moneycontrtol app (with premium update) on my iMac. I would like to be able to use this app on my iPad as well and sync the information together. Do I have to purchase the premium moneycontrol app on the iPad also in order for the two of them to sync up on iCloud?
Hi,
since the Mac App Store and the iOS Mac Store are two completely separated markteplaces it is not possible to shares purchases between the two stores. This is nothing special about MoneyControl but just the way Apple implemented the stores.
Hi, the $ symbol shows throughout the application despite me setting my currency to £ in the settings and my OS being set to £ GPB. I am using OSX v 10.9.2
Is there a way to fix this ?
Thanks
Hi, the app money control doesn’t work well. I mean, if I activate the option icloud synchronization, it gets closed automatically. When I start the app again, a message appears telling that the icloud synchronization is desactivared.
I have an ios version.
Thanks.
Hi,
it is a big problem, that iCloud is a quite unstable service. The app can only tell the system that it whants to use iCloud. If iCloud then causes any problem the system will shutdown the app without giving it any possibility to respond to the problem.
Because of such problems we recommend to use Dropbox instead. This service is much more reliable and transparent.
Ok, thanks a lot.
Im already using dropbox. It would be nice a sync automatic :))
Hello,
is there a way to automatically sync. via Dropbox ?
If not, a shortcut in the IOS app main menu will be a good idea ! You have to go down deep into the Extra’s menu to sync… not really easy ///
Best regards,
Vincent
Hi,
swipe to the left on the main screen. This will bring up a side menu that give you direct access to the sync function.
Could you please make Dropbox syncing automatic? MoneyControl is the only app on my iPhone that requires me to sync with Dropbox manually. That’s unfortunate because it’s one of the apps I use most frequently and need to sync the most often (and I don’t want to use iCloud for this). It’s a tedious task because one sync requires me to go back and forth between iPhone, iPad and Mac until I’m sure they each have all of the other devices‘ data. What’s the reasoning behind this?
Hi
Can u add automatic syncronization ….and adminstative and normal user with limted access…. Area for row material calculation…and check printing..

Hi
Android..r u supporting it ..“

Hi,
we are working on an Android Version and planning to release it in summer.
add support for multi-currency in the option of transactions and accounts.
Hi,
already workin on it 🙂
HI, Yes, my system currency is set o British Pounds Sterling £. I am using a Mac Book Pro. Everything shows in GBP, expect in the ‚Entries‘ view where a $ sign is showing.
Thanks
Please add excel support for reports.
Hi,
you can use the CSV Export function from the apps settings menu to create and export a CSV file. CSV is a universal format that can also be used in Excel.
Hi,
There are three options in the cost-options in-App: They are complementary or „Premium Version“ will include the other two (PDF and Receipts)?
Greetings
Hi,
the three In-App Purchase items are complementary.
Hi,
Your app is excellent, I really like it. However I have two points I would like to raise:
One is the $ sign showing against entries if associated with a bank account, I am in the UK so a £ would be more appropriate. The other, sometimes when using the ‘Window’ drop down menu it crashes (twice so far). Neither are a big deal but would be great if resolved.
Thanks
Hi,
the currency sign should be determined automatically from your system locale. Is the system set to £? We are working on an update which will fix the crashing issues.
hallo,
restore function does not work!
i have got a ipad and the purchased / extended app january 2013-
does not restore to full function!
any help appreciated
thank you very much
Hello,
what exactly is the result when you try to restore a previous purchase on your iPad? Does the app show any message?
Hello.
I want to know how to see past months or months. I’m not able to do that from my ipad.
It is very important to me to see different expenses and sources in time.
Hi,
go to the „Entries“ page and click on the calendar icon in the top left corner. This will open the month selection.
I was very happy using the app some days, until the next month arrived. Now I can not see the past entries, to know how do I expend my money.
Fortunately, I did not bought the app.
Hello,
switch to the „Entries“ page and click on the calendar icon in the top left corner. This will bring up the month selection.
Hello! I Download software moneycontrol, bought premium update and use it safely! But my iPhone was crushed up and I had to reflash it! And my surprise, after restoring a backup, I didn’t find this app! No big deal, I downloaded from the icloud! But now I have another empty app controller! The program again offers to buy update .. But most importantly my data … there is none!! Urgently need help to restore!
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely, Catherine.
Hi,
you do not have to purchase the app again. Go to the In-App Purchase page within the app and scroll down to the restore function. This will allow you to restore previous purchases without paying again.
By default the data is only stored on your device. If you have not created a backup or aktiviated iCloud or Dropbox sync within the app the data is lost.
Hi. I have a suggestion for the app… Due the fact I have money in different currencies and the exchange rate is no stable, I’d love that the app includes the option for different currencies in each transaction with an exchange rate editable manually… For example, I have Argentinian pesos and American dollars… It’s gonna be a really good improvement if I can deal with my „dollars“ account in dollars and not in pesos, establishing an exchange rate In-between currencies from adjustments or using a base coin and alternative coins for some accounts. Thank u.
Hi,
the feature to support multiple currencies is already on our ToDo list and will be added with one of the next updates.
How can I protect the data of the iMac-version of MoneyControl?
Can I enter a pincode somewhere? I can’t find such an option within „settings“.
Thanks for your feedback.
Hi,
on iOS every app runs in its own sealed environment. The app has no access to resources outside this sandbox. Additionally the user cannot access any system information directly and thus it is not possible to access or change any files manually. This is different on Mac OS where a user can find, access and use every file on the system. Using a PIN Code within the app would only prefent the user from opening the apps Database within the app. But there is no way the app could prevent the user from searching the Database directly in finder. The only way to really protect on Mac OS is to protect the complete user profile with a passcode.
When are you going to do an update for the OS X version? I have had this app since November 2013 and it desperately needs an update. Wann werden Sie ein Update für die OS-X-Version zu tun? Ich habe diese App seit November 2013 hatte und es braucht dringend ein Update.
Hi,
we have submitted an update to apple over 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately the update is still in review and will only be published in the App Store once Apple finished this process. We are not happy about this delay either but unfortunately there is nothing we can to do to speed this up.
I have moneycontrol in my iPhone and works perfectly. I install it in my iMac and after a synchro with iCloud it stop working. it cause problem in my iPhone too : i can’t use iCloud any more. Seems you have to do a lot of work in iMac’s version….
Hi,
this is not a problem with the Mac Version but with iCloud in general. An app can only use iCloud but not control how iCloud works. As soon you deliver a letter to the post office you cannot control it anymore. You cannot influence when (or even if) the letter will reach the receiver. This is the same way iCloud works.
If an app uses iCloud the system provides a special database the app can use to store its data. All data stored in this database is then automatically transfered to you other devices. This it the theory but in real live it can happen that the database is corrupted. This kind of problems should be handled by iCloud but they aren’t. The app has to contact the database to use iCloud and there is no way the app could detect whether the database is corrupted or not. If the database is corrupted the app will crash without any chance to handle this error.
Go to your system settings and disable the apps iCloud connection. After this you should be able to launch the app normally. Use the iCloud support options within the app to clean up the apps iCloud storage and start over.
Money control stopped working on all my devices, MacBook, iMac, iPhone, iPad.
for iPhone/iPad when I type my pin the application freezes for like 10/20 seconds and closes.
In OSX when I call te APP the icon starts bouncing and I receive an OSX crash report screen.
OSX 10.9.2
IOS 7.03
Sync configured to use DropBox on all devices.
After I payed for it, it stopped working.
Hi,
please contact our support directly via e-mail (info@mobiware.de) and include a copy of the crash reports.
Hi,
Since February 28th we cant sincronize MoneyControl using Dropbox. We have been using MoneyControl for severals months, but now appear a message :“ Error trying to acces database. Is encrypted? Did you wrie wrong the pass?“; and we didn’t use encrypted data. Something happened? We need solve this quickly please, Thanks
Ignacio from Chile
Hello,
access your Dropbox account directly and delete the MoneyControl file. This will not influence the data on any of your devices but if you start a new sync the app will not find an existing file that could make trouble and will instead start over with a new file.
I am liking this money control app but wonder whether you will be introducing a reconciliation feature. This would be excellent otherwise there is no way of knowing whether the balances in money control ever actually balance with the bank account. Also if there will be an option to split transactions between categories that would be good.
Thank you.
Hello,
we are working on a feature that will allow to add different labels to an entry, such as „payed“ or „open“. Split transactions are on our ToDo List as well.
Hi, excelent app, my question is if is possible control 2 different budgets in this app (personal and business for example)
Many thanks for your help!!
Greatins from Mexico11!
Hello,
two different budgets are currently not available but we will look into it.
my moneycontrol stoped to working.
how i can do ?
Hi,
could you describe the problem in more detail? Which version exactly are you using (iOS, Mac OS, Windodws Phone)? What exactly does the app do?
Hi! I just would like to know if I can use to currencies with this app, my country currency and US$ since you can have for example, a bank account for each one
Hi,
multi-currency support is currently not available but will be included in a future update.
i wish that ya do have the „How to“ or ya may say it „Manual“ in the form of VDO.
Tout ce que je n’ai pas pu faire avec excel, est devenue possible avec votre application 🙂
La seul amélioration qui me semble utile, serait de pouvoir afficher son budget à la semaine, un peu comme en Angleterre ou en Australie.
Merci encore beaucoup pour votre application
Rémy de France
All that I could not do with Excel, became possible with your application 🙂
The only improvement that seems useful to me, would be to see its budget this week, just as in England or Australia.
Thank you much for your application
Remy from France
ich habe es installiert aber habe ich nicht gefunden wie ich meine alte MS Money 99 Files importieren kann, ist es möglich?

Hallo,
der Import von Daten ist derzeit noch nicht möglich.
Hi. I’ve been looking for an expense tracking app that syncs between iOS and Mac. I’ve been using XpenseTracker for iOS for some years but it doesn’t have a Mac companion app.
I’ve had a look at MoneyControl and on the face of it there are some good things. However, one big omission is mileage tracking. I know I can track car expenses, but what I need is to be able to track vehicle, source, destination, mileage count, cost per mile and total cost. XpenseTracker has this but MoneyControl doesn’t. Are you planning to add it?
The other thing XpenseControl does quite well is including image files when exporting as a CSV file. (It includes the images in the same folder as the exported report, and the CSV file contains inline links to the images so you can find them easily.)
Do you have any plans to add in this functionality to MoneyControl? It seems to be the only Mac+iOS app on the market, so if it does what people need, you should have the market to yourself 🙂
Hi,
thank you very much for your feedback and for proposing these functions. That sounds interesting and we will check if we can integrate this into a future version.
There is a obvious bug on transfer function
I found the problem in MoneyControl „Pro“.
When I transfer a money from account-A (source) to account-B (target), then check Entries tag by account (disable „Use separate section for: Account transactions“). The transferred money was shown in account-A, but not account-B, and cause to a wrong account summary. But it was shown correct in the Accounts tag.
Plus a problem of this web page.
I cannot understand the German displayed below although I selected English.
I bought now in Fev but i want to start with expenses in the beginning of the year.
Hi,
this is no problem. When entering a new expense or income simply click on the calender icon to select the desired date. This way you can create entries in the past or in the future.
