MyBudget
Suggestions and Feature Requests
MyBudget is built around how real South Africans manage money — and the best ideas come from the people using it every day. If something is missing, broken, or could work better, tell us. Every suggestion is read and considered.
What to suggest
We want to hear about anything that would make the app more useful, more accurate, or easier to use. Here are the types of suggestions that tend to make the biggest difference:
New features
Something the app does not currently do that you wish it did. A new type of chart, a different import format, a way to tag transactions differently.
Improvements to existing features
Something that works but could work better. A flow that takes too many taps, a screen that is confusing, a setting that is hard to find.
South Africa-specific needs
A local retailer is not recognised. Something about how SA finances work that the app does not handle well. A specific SA tax or budgeting feature you would like to see.
Confusing or broken behaviour
Something that does not work the way you expected, even if it is not a crash. For crash reports, use the Support page instead.
How to write a useful suggestion
The clearer your suggestion, the more likely it is to be acted on quickly. Here is what to include:
- The problem you are trying to solve — not just the solution. "I want a calendar view" is less useful than "I want to see which days I overspent because I lose track mid-month".
- Which screen or feature this is about — Overview tab, receipt scanner, budget detail, etc.
- What you expected to happen vs what happened — if you are describing existing behaviour that is wrong or confusing.
- How often you need it — daily frustration vs occasional nice-to-have helps us prioritise.
- A screenshot or recording if relevant — especially useful for layout or flow issues.
How to submit
Email your suggestion to feedback@budgetapp.co.za with the subject line "MyBudget suggestion". If it is urgent or a bug, use "MyBudget support" as the subject instead and visit the Support page.
What happens to your suggestion
- Every suggestion is read — you will receive a reply acknowledging it, usually within a few days.
- Suggestions are grouped by theme — if multiple people ask for the same thing, it moves up the priority list faster.
- Prioritised by user impact — features that help the most people with their most common tasks are built first.
- Updates are published in release notes — when a feature you suggested ships, it will be noted in the App Store update description.
Not every suggestion becomes a feature. Sometimes a suggestion is a great idea but requires a lot of infrastructure. Sometimes it conflicts with a direction the app is already going. When we cannot act on something, we will tell you why.
What is already being worked on
Before submitting a suggestion, check whether it is already planned. These are features actively being built or seriously considered:
If something on this list is important to you, email us and say so — it helps us understand which items to prioritise.
