5 Android Apps for Managing Your Finance

My first blog in 2013, Happy New Year! It's new year and it's time to get organised. Have you ever wanted to keep track of your spending but never really have time to look into it. Now that we have Android tablet and phone, entering all those receipts should be as easy as breeze.

So my quest is to look for the best free Android app for managing your finance which have features such as tracking expenses, managing multiple accounts (cash, credit card,  debit card, etc.), producing an easy to understand reports, and transferring them to excel (CSV file format).

5. Droid Accounting

This app has a clean looking but I find it rather dull to use. I'm afraid if I continue with this one, my receipts will be left untouched again.

4. Easy Money

This app by Handy Apps Inc.  is so great, I fell in love straight away! It has multiple accounts, ready to use expense & income category that you can customized with parent and sub categories, bill reminder, you can even take picture of your receipts or invoices to keep a digital record. The downsize is that it's not free after 30 days! So I have to ditch it (with great pain).

3. Toshl Finance Expense Tracker

This app by Toshl Inc. has fun interface with colours and cool graphics. I was so excited to use it. You need to create an account with email and password, and you're using their web service. Whatever you input in your device would be saved online and you could access your data anywhere, either in your pc, tablet or phone. Sounds  promising, isn't it?  But when I have started to key in my expenses, they can't create new account, only cash! Feel sorry to leave that toshl monster and have to search again.

2. Money Lover - Expense Manager

This app has very impressive amount of downloads, operates in many languages, works with over 45 types of currencies and multiple accounts, add customized categories for income and expenses. It also has a lot of great reviews, what could go wrong? I hope my search is over. But, I was wrong, it asked me to input code when I tried to use the feature like add new account, and asked me to buy the premium version. So I have to ditch this one also.

Google Play Store: Money Lover

There are great apps like Mint and Pageonce but they are not available in Australia, why? I felt  frustrated and almost gave up until I saw this app and thought I should give it a try.

And the winner is:

1. Financisto

This app made by Denis Solonenko is so wonderful, it can create multiple accounts, multiple currencies, payees, parent and sub categories with custom attributes, place an exact location of your shop, projects, attach pictures, filtering and reporting, automatic daily backups and QIF/CSV import/export. Wow! It has everything I want  and does everything I need! I ended up feeling happy when I input my receipts, not boring at all. Kudos Financisto for making it free! Would definitely recommend this to everyone I know.
