    Perhaps better in the tech section, I have one on my ipod touch (not brilliant I may add), but I just use it for my monthly spend, so that I can predict how much spend I have in certain months eg when car insurance is due.

    I started using Expense Manager since 2 weeks. I enter every expense but I wonder if this is the best one. I hope it will help me to get hold of my expenses. I will check out EasyMoney.

    I have not tried that one. Does it offers anything that you feel is helpful?

    Don't think I've seen this mentioned but haven't read all the previous pages but an invaluable app if you've lost your phone:

    - firstly turns your phone on if it is off and volume up to full and starts ringing your phone - so great if its lost
    - secondly if you have gps on then it can track exactly (more or less) where your phone is and give you an address/map link (great if stolen!)

    My son says a friend at school has a similar app on his iphone which takes a photo and sends it back to you - so you can catch this thief in action - loving it! Apparently it lets the thief think they've got into your phone if they've put the wrong code in but it just gets them into this app that takes the photo. :rotfl:


    Just to be clear - this app doesn't switch your phone on if it is off. It turns the ringer on if it is on silent. It works by a text message you send to your phone with a codeword (which you define). The software recognises the codeword and starts the ringing. If the phone is off, there is no way to receive the text message.

    Other than that it is a great app. I've installed it on mine and my wife's phone. She lost her phone so I did the whole GPS thing and found it in the car outside!

    I use anmoney from Android marketplace. There's a free version which I found really good and I've just upgraded to the paid version. You can set up different accounts so I have one for cash I have in my purse, another for a credit card and another for my current account. :T It can be time consuming entering everything in to start with, but at least I now know how much cash I have to spend (or not as the case may be!) :o

    Also, I don't know how this works, but all your apps have to be saved somewhere in your google account.
