Move "Health care, doctor" from "Life & Entertainment" to "Financial Expenses"
Minor change as it's weird paying medical bills which are major and needed expenses and you see the overall graph saying you are paying too much for "Life & Entertainment" which includes leisure, hobbies, and vacation.

Practically all financial management software allows you to create your own categories, except wallet.
I've seen another post where budgetbakers says it can't be done because of AI.
Now.. how come any other software is abe to do it?
That doesn't make any sense.
Users should have the freedom to create categories as they please and not as programmers want.

I agree with the previous commenter, just let us change the categories however we want, because we will never all agree on something. I ended up doing a TON of renaming categories when I first set up the app but it would have been easier if I could have just deleted all the categories it came with and started over with my own.

Or even better, let the users just decide how to create categories and sub-categories.

This thread shows that how many people, so many ways of budget management. One want to have categories organized one way, another wants to organize categories in different way. Wallet is a great app. I use it for 3 years. Mostly because I didn't find anything better for Android. But it doesn't mean it's perfect. It is not. There is definitelly yo many limitations, drawbacks, bugs, etc.

Healthcare should really be it own category:
* health insurance
* copays
* out of pocket procedures
* over the counter medicine
* pet healthcare -

After almost a year and it is still under consideration?

Yes, I totally agree with Filipa.
Please move Health expenses to a new main category. -
Filipa Sousa commented
Health care should be a separate main category. And it should include health insurance as subcategory.

In my case I renamed this category something like "Entertainment & well-being" (in my native language).
In most application and banks, these are simply separated in two categories:
- Entertainment"
- HealthIMO it doesn't make more sense to move the Health category to "Financial expenses". I would prefer having it in a separate category. Plus, it would technically make the move easier I think (database migration & automatic filter adjustments).

In case the „category edit“ idea gets implemented this one can be done then automatically if wanted

Hi Kamil,
Yes, this was being used silently by the product team, but now we, the support team have taken over :) So, we will now be a little more active. This is under review until we gain more data from this. Thank you.

I must say I am highly surprised that finally someone from BudgetBakers started to answer here. :)
I believe everything related to healtcare (medicines, doctors, surgeries) and beauty (SPA, cosmeticts, etc) should be moved to a separate main category.

Hello there,
We see that not many users are using it in this way, but if there are more votes for this or if more users start using it this way our team would look into changing the logic. Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks. Yes, I figured that they don't accommodate these request after I posted this. I saw that there were a lot of similar requests. Still worth a shot. I'm now using the other categories that I've edited.
I hope they allow users to rearrange category grouping in the future.

Forget. :)
You may try to rename existing categories, but that's all.We, users, are asking BudgetBakers to allow us to rearrange categories (add, remove, etc) for years.
You have some options:
1. Enjoy existing categoration.
2. Rearrange categories by renaming them (it will break automated categorisation if you are using bank sync and keep in mind that you MUST not change categories Incomes (and any sub-category ubder Incomes), debts, mortgages, leasing,... basically everything that is hardcoded in stats)
3. You may create budgets and track your spending by reviewing budgets rather than stats.
