iCompta


$4.99 itunes app store

Many people are faced with financial issues every day. Sadly, most of them could do better than just living paycheck to paycheck. . .but since they weren't taught how to balance their checkbook, create a budget for themselves, or even just analyze their income vs. spending month to month. Thankfully with the tools we have at our disposal thanks to technology and the internet we can take all that financial data and actually visualize our income and what we're spending our money on. And that is where iCompta comes into play. . .'

So after your purchase iCompta, you will need to login to your bank account online, and find out how to 'download your data'. This should either be in a CSV, QIF, or OFX format(since those are the only formats compatible with this application) and once you have this file you can launch the iCompta application.

At the top of the application you'll see an http: web address. This will be the URL that you need to put into your web browser so that you can upload the file you downloaded from your bank. You will also need to access this URL from a computer/web browser than is connected to the same WiFi network for this to work(since it uses an internal ip address). After uploading the file you can restart the application on your device to make sure it loads it correctly.

Note - Now I have seen other applications that have the ability to upload files to the application via iTunes. I'm not sure why these developers didn't implement this, but maybe we can expect to see it in a future update.

After reloading the application and seeing the 'account' registered in the iCompta app, you will be able to browse through their features and actually see your money. Here you can easily analyze how much you are spending and what exactly you're spending money on. It's easy to just look at an account balance and think you have X dollars until the next paycheck. . .but with tools like this, just checking up on your account once per week can make you think twice the next time you're at that fancy restaurant.

The application makes it super easy to keep separate 'accounts'. This can either be for separate people in your house or family(like a spouse or child), or it can even be for multiple accounts that you have yourself. The graph feature is my favorite way of looking at this type of data. After importing your bank account into the application you'll see all of your transactions from your account. Here you can leave them as they are(if you think they're labeled correctly) or you can edit them and set certain transactions to certain labels. Then when you look at the graph for a specific time period, you can really see where your money goes, and where you can begin to cut back.

While I would like to see this application offer tips and suggestions on how to save some extra money, it really boils down to each person. . .some people get tired of living paycheck to paycheck and others don't. This isn't the first tool to offer this service(personally I use Mint.com), but you have to take control of your finances. Men can be just as bad as women in this department so this is really an application that can be helpful to everyone.
