Pennies is a very polished budget tracker. Set your monthly budget and then you can start adding expenses as you spend your money. This is great if you always end up asking yourself ‘Wait, didn’t I have more money than this?’.
You can either add an expense right from the home screen, or you can go to the Expenses tab. Here you will see a list of each current expense that you have previously entered.
Adding an expense is very easy too. Touching the + sign at the top right will take you to a number pad with categories above it. Touch the category that the expense is in, then how much it is, and then touch Save.
On the This Month tab you’ll also see a Top Expenses area. Touching the small badge lists the Top Expenses for this month.
After extended use the History tab becomes useful. After a month it begins to display the previous expenses that you added. This is great for looking for specific trends how you spend your money.
This app looks and works GREAT, but there are a few short comings that prevent it from being perfect. You can only set your monthly budget in increments of $100. While I don’t really care too much about this, it can be a little bit of a disappointment if you just want to track your expenses.
If you’re looking for a simple, and i mean simple, expense tracking app I would suggest balance.
But if you’re monthly budget is anywhere from $100 up to $100,000 then you should be happy with this app.
The Pennies-app would be perfect for my use. ‘Unfortunatley’ i get payed the 15th every month, and since you can’t custom. the dates (ex. sept. 15th -october 15th as one month), this makes my budget useless.
Also a minus is that you can’t customise the expences.
