I have been using this program for several years and always recommend it when people are looking for help managing their money.
Before then, I had used and trialed many paid for and free programs. Most either were with serious glitches (big name brands too) or far too complex or overly garish for the average home finance needs.
The program breaks down a persons incoming and outgoing to how such things should be with money, simple. It has help our home keep a steady baseline even in difficult times. It won't solve your finance problems of course, but it greatly helps create a visual management system for planning your way through!
I don't remember what version I stared with, but I have been through several updates. I am always pleased with the new releases that feature non-excessive feature additions and important improvements.

I have written the developer a couple of times for support and to offer suggestions. He is always prompt, polite and proactive in help and truly listens to the customer. Customers are contributors-- the way it should be.
Both in design and function, Budget calendar maintains a solid performance at a great price point.

I can honestly say that this is the easiest budget app for weekly, monthly, yearly budgets. To be able to see way ahead how your finances are playing out, has helped me in the past to avoid some big problems. I am not the best at managing money but Budget Calendar makes me almost and expert. You can also add notes and reminders to your payment info. I love the program and would not be without it.I have used this program almost since day one ... that’s how good it is.

Ease of use is the main issue for me. Deleting one item can cause all of them in the past to delete messing up your entire balance sheet. Options should be given, for instance: delete this item, delete all similar items, delete this item and all future events. Not unlike when setting calendar events. Figuring out how it works is trial and error.

Repeating items: not many options as there should be.
The list of items at the top of the page doesn't list everything for the month, just a few.

I strongly believe this should have as many features as a calendar without forgetting it's used for budgeting.

I've been using the free trial and now that the trial is over, I probably wont be buying the application. I feel like the developer created this calendar then just decided it was good enough and never made any updates. It certainly looks like it was created in the late 90's and has never been given a face lift.
