Budgeting software

Options
Wasn't sure where to post so thought I would try here first.

Does anyone know of software/app etc I can download (preferably free) to my iPad to help me keep track of personal finances. With now quite a few bank accounts I'm worried I won't be in control if I don't have them recorded somewhere.

Thanks and grateful for any replies

    There's the app called Mint.

    Can I ask what is it you want the software/app to do ?

    To keep a track of personal bank accounts, so that I can look at any time and see exactly what I have and where it is, who it's with etc Also useful for accountant at year end showing all interest earned.

    I find it a pain, especially as most accounts only do online statements to put together a list at year end. It would be much better for me to have it at hand at home

    I think you must have missed that the OP wants it for an iPad.

    Does OP not know how to use an iPad then? Typing budgeting software into the App Store brings up all the available apps. It's not like the OP can install some mystery software from the unknown.

    Looks like I'll be resorting to good old paper and pencil then, I know how to use them :p

    I still use the 2004 edition. It's a great piece of software that hasn't slowed down, regardless of the number of accounts/transactions I make.

    I've also managed to get it working on Mac and Linux machines. Sadly, not for iPads.

    I.pads plus phones etc etc
    some things,,, need to be free of instant tech

    you can always use paper and pencil, add data manually, not hard.
    or MS money on a PC....add data manually, but it will give you more
    than what you want,

    it will suit all your needs,,,,, if not swap it for some phone thingy,
    and regret it in the future.

    The point is that MS Money, which you brought up, is not available for iPad.
