Hi everyone.

Does anyone have any recommendations for budgeting/Money tracking apps for Android phones? I'm terrible at little cash purchases and would like to track my spending without carrying a notebook around with me!

Thanks

    Can you not pay by a card instead? Very few places don't accept cards.
    Market is the only place where I pay cash.

    I can in some places, but my problem is the local coffee shop/purchases at various places at work that don't take card.

    Even if I did pay with card, I'd be interested to try out a budgeting app, or one that pulls the information from my current account, or where I can manually input it.

    YNAB seems popular with MSEers, search the forum for reviews.

    I agree, paying by card is no substitute for keeping track of your spending.

    Just for keeping track - why not?
    That's how I keep track of all my spending, but I don't spend a lot of cash in 'various places'.
