This app does exactly what I need it to do & it's definitely helping me budget my money! I have multiple accounts with different institutions & being able to see those accounts individually as well as in totality is awesome! Being able to set up recurring expenses is another great feature as well. Ads only pop up every now and again, never to the point of "not again🙄". This is literally my favorite financial app that's on my phone & I have several! My only complaint is I wish I found you sooner

I am able to enter my expenses from any source (cc, cash, PayPal, etc). I have used quicken in the past and prefer this. Imports sounds easy, but there are always mistakes and incorrect coding. I have total control this way. More manual entries but it also helps me more Closely review all spending. Easy to use, all categories you would need and ability to set repeat income/expenses.

This app is just what I was looking for, a no nonsense spending tracker that syncs between devices for me and my wife to both be able to add spending to (on Android and iOS). It is very easy to use and has some great extra features. The only negatives for me is that the widgets on iphones are too large(probably apples fault) but it's ideally sized on Android. Would also like the ability to add budgets to each category, but as customizable this app is, there are work arounds.

I am using Spending Tracker to track my discretionary spending, iow what's left over after my fixed expenses. It works pretty well, easy to use. The only negative is that it doesn't have a separate category for groceries. I've just been putting them under General because I want to differentiate between household necessities vs new clothes and stuff like that. So cleaning products and groceries go into General and all my other shopping goes into, you guessed it: Shopping. Overall, I love it.

The math isn't always correct. For instance, when entering all my planned income & expenses for next month (I stay ahead, always), in weekly view for December 2018, each week correctly shows how much I will have left to spend & each week added up, is the correct sum of $1,314 for December. But when in monthly view, it shows a total of only $639 as my December sum. This is TERRIBLE! Considering this is a financial planner/counter app, even ONE of these features being flawed messes up all the planning, thus making this app unable to correctly do the job as intended. At this point, I have to do my own monthly math, based on the correct weekly math within the app, because it does not give me the correct monthly math anymore. If I can't count on this app to show correct math at every feature, I must find one that does. We depend on financial planning convenience, that's the entire reason we even use this app, it isn't just for fun, but could actually cause us loss in life by giving us inaccurate financial information. This is no joke, please fix. I would love to keep this app!

Very easy and convenient way to track my finances! Bank apps always delay so this is a nice way to stay on top of how much I'm spending! I enter my paycheck, deduct my bills and then can keep track of what I have leftover in real time. Also love that you can make new categories! Wish it didn't reset at the beginning of each month. Maybe that's an option for a paid version? But as long as I remember to note it on the last day of the month then I'm good to go.

Easy User Interface. Would like to see options to be able to check off transactions that have cleared in bank or not to give a more acurate balance. Also the budget feature seems limited to how you can set it for the amount not per the items you want to budget it in. Overall it is a good way to keep track of every item I spend money on. Great widget to have right on my home screen.

I love this app! Worth every penny! I thought it was a simple pocket calculator to track my spending when I'm out. I have discovered it is so much more capable!!! I even use it to project complex credit usage and payoffs that have eluded me with other more "famous" budget softwares. If only I could record account transfers with a single input, rather than having to input a transaction to both sending and receiving accounts! Future feature possibly?

I use this multiple times per day. Love it! Recently I got a new phone and the setup my phone service did not work well and I was devastated with all the work I had to do by installation of apps, copying 'notes' information, but this was simple because of the backup system. Restored and it was like nothing happened! Can't say enough about a FREE app.

Great app for tracking income and expenses. Paid for the premium to get rid of ads and be able to export reports to a PDF. But that is not a feature that is available when you pay for premium...so kind of a lie. But at least the adds are gone. Edit. Well, butter my bisket and call me Salley!! Developers reached out, and the export button is just where they said it was. Changing my review to a 5 star!!

Best expense tracker! It is extremely easy to setup and use, very user friendly. I have had it since 2016. I can see my expenses by month, by year, by account, by categories, you can set categories by color, by icons. I haven't had any issue with it in the four years I have had it. Haven't even had to wish it had more features, instead I realize how many functions it has when I actually need to track something in a different way. I totally recommend this app if you like to track your money.

The app is pretty good. Fairly easy to customize the look and functions. There are three things I like to see in a finance app; ability to sort transactions by date, newest at the bottom (like people usually do when making a list or entering items in a check register) and ability to open the app showing the last transaction. Have a payee line so I know where my money is spent (e.g. Kohls) not just a category (e.g. clothing). Ability to automatically insert decimal places in the Amount line.

Helps me organize my finances. I love the category system and how you can change from days, weeks, or months. I go by month nearly exclusively and I was able to point out that reducing going out to eat was how I could save money by having a different category for groceries and "eating out." You have to be consistent with tracking your money, but you really realize where its going and you can become more frugal. Also line/pie chart when you rotate your phone is cool for those who dont know.

I've tried a lot of budget trackers & this is the best by far, I've been using it for years. I'm not very good with math & have a lot of recurring expenses so I was really looking for an app that could do the math for me & help me keep track of my due dates & salary. The only thing it's missing is a savings goal and debt tracking function, I haven't been able to find an app that does both monthly planning and goals/debt tracking well. If those functions could be added the app would be perfect.

Perfect little app! Nicely designed; easy to navigate and simplified! Small price for PRO, although I didn't see any ads? Nice app, you should give it a look! :). Oh yes, it has a dark look. Just a tip for an update, make the dark, BLACK! It's a much nicer look and extremely easy on the eyes! It's still a 5 star app! One more thing: you can automatically back up to Dropbox! A real plus!

Simple app, overall not difficult to use- no export function or sync with multiple accounts. Created a Dropbox account, thinking I would be able to view the data as I have multiple people in my household. Doesn't seem to be an option. This make keeping track of everything. If it had at least one of those features, it would definitely be at least 4*. Edit- After some research, it looks like the paid version can export, however, I upgraded but I still can't export.

I dont use all the features and the ads are frequent. I like that it's possible to disable most of the features I'm not interested in. Seems to be VERY stable- almost no crashes in about a year, and even when the ad server locks up, I've never lost any data. A good, small basic stable little app- I hope it stays that way!

This is the 4th app I've tried but others do not compare. User friendly and give a pie chart when you turn ph sideways. Love the chalkboard look after I enter bills and income. Helpful how it asks if I want to enter bill once or future months and monthly or weekly options ( i chose biweekly) bill structure, which is awesome. Love this app thus far no complaints!!!

This app is great for doing my monthly household budgeting. Helps me keep track of where we are overspending and let's me adjust accordingly. The only downside so far is some of the navigation features are a little difficult to figure out but I'm sure I'll get it sorted eventually...Other than that it's a GREAT TOOL for me. As a side note I have the Google PlayPass version so no ads and all features unlocked.

Spending Tracker is a standout expense manager app that excels in user-friendliness and simplicity, making it one of the best tools available for managing personal finances. The app's clean, intuitive interface ensures that users can effortlessly track their spending, allowing for super-fast entry of expenses. The one-time fee to remove ads is a bargain - less than other apps charge for a single month's subscription.
