spending tracker for iphone

I keep a fairly good eye on my money using quicken but theres quite a big hole where cash is taken out the cash machine and basically vanishes!

I want to do a few weeks of tracking every little spend down to the last penny, I need to see if I can make any cutbacks or changes.

My iphone comes with me everywhere so can anyone recommend a good app for tracking spends?

  • I use iXpenselt and pennies. the former is better for managing spend but the pennies works well also. My preference is the former but as I use Moneydance finance on my computer I await their app which is imminent as it will down/upload into my main finance software.

    Tip one, get rid of the iphone and you will get out of debt a lot quicker.

    Well that depends if the OP is tied into a contract or not doesn't it ;)

    OP, I haven't used it personally (but plan to), but I found an app on there yesterday called Spendometer. It's free :D

  • @Percy and chigley,at what point did the op did they say they was in debt?

    They may just be looking to keep an eye on their finances.

    To the original question,I use budgee and find that works fine:)

    The fact they are posting this in the DFW section would give that impression.

    If thats the case it maybe better suited to the techie section.

    I use iCompta as it syncs with the full version on my iMac - and both bits of software are free.

    Works very well.

    I have an Iphone, my tarrif is only £15 a month and includes unlimited data, internet, wireless, whatever they call it and 300 mins.

    I'm not in debt but I post here regularly. We're just dealing with 2 accounts that can't be proven as ours and should be statute barred. This forum is priceless to me and has helped me out so much.

    LOL, contract finishes next month so I'm going onto PAYG or one of the cheaper sim only contracts, whichever works out cheapest.

    I hardly use it as a phone as such so never make a dent in the inclusive calls or texts.
