    Nah, avoid. Will cost you a bucket - too many 'in game' puchases. Stick with candy crush, much less expensive. :cool:

    I'd watch that one. They want your bank details & will siphon your account.:confused:

    I tried it out ages ago but didn't stick with it - I don't recall exactly why but must've been a bit crap.

    I prefer a spreadsheet,.

    I hate anything that's accessed through the phone.

    The ATO can access more data than you realise with that app.

    eg If the app says a deduction receipt is $100 and you then claim $300 they see it and may ask ...why is that so ?.... Otherwise it does have some limited functions including links with inbox in MyGov so you dont miss things. You can acces tax matters and also super accounts etc. Personally I would avoid MyGov unless its a required thing so then the app is functionally useless. I dont trust that the link between the MyGov and the app is that secure however. It can expose you to a massive concern if it was a risk.

    Or try the Covid safe app....A wonderful tool that still hasnt found a contact after all this time. It makes candycrush look like a business app

    Ah yes, that's why I ditched it - didn't trust big brother. My tinfoil hat thinking was correct.

    I tried the ATO app but found its usefulness limited. I've found the mypropertyportfolio.com.au useful in replacing my spreadsheets. Only tried the free account, not sure of the paid parts.

    Oh, I better recategorise it on my phone. I used it to create my business plan, submit my funding application for government grants and file for divorce. :oops:
