Personal Finance apps For Smartphone

Upon reviewing personal finance apps for iPhone and iPad, it's time to take a look at budgeting apps for the Android phone and tablets.

As an Android user, I struggled to find an app that did all I wanted it to do but didn’t cost money. It took some installing and uninstalling but I found a few worth mentioning. All of these apps can be found in the Google Playstore.


Money Manager by Realbyte Inc

Money Manager is an optimized application for personal account management. Household account management is complicated. But we make it simple by simplifying the things that are complex. The default settings will get you started, and once you get used to it, you can alter the settings according to your needs with the highly flexible and customizable functions available. - Super easy and simple to enter data anytime, anywhere.


 View your spending tendencies graphically.  The pie chart of expenses is really handy to see in full colour where your money is going and the ability to transfer money from accounts to cash is useful to keep track of how much you should have in your bank account and how much in hand.

View statistics by simply entering the data. - Search and calculator functions. - Set up sub-categories and main categories as necessary. - Manage all your accounts at once. - Use multiple currencies. - Check weekly, monthly, and annual statistics. - Use calendar view. - Use budget planning features to plan weekly, monthly, and annual budgets. - Change the start date of the month.

The only downside to the free version of Money Manager is that the budget setting is almost useless as it does not warn you when your expenditure is nearing the budget limit.

Easy Money is also a great app to use. Much like Money Manager, you can track your balance in hand, account and on credit card. As a bonus, you can also set reminders to go off to let you know when a payment is due. Keep track of all payments made and income received. The app is no frills. It doesn’t have the pie-chart graphic that tracks your spending like Money Manager but having it will definitely help in keeping bill payment up to date.


Easy Money for Android will allow you to install and use for free up to 30 days after which; you will have to pay for it. The disappointing thing is that nowhere in the description do they tell you it is only a trial. It is a leading app though so if you don’t mind paying USD10 this is a good app to have.
