Budgeting and Banking Software?

FunkyCrunky

Hi MSE friends! Do any of you use software for budgeting and bank account tracking? If so, what would you recommend that works well for you?

I’m mobility disabled and therefore live off of benefits. I’m struggling to stay within my means and have been spending more than I receive lately. I used to be very good at paper budgeting in the past.

Ideally, I’d like to use an app on my tablet (Apple IOS). I don’t mind if I need 2 separate apps - one for budgeting, the other banking, but would prefer if it did both so I can manually edit in purchases and it removes from my balance, if that makes sense? I quickly lose track of paper budgeting.

Thanks in advance.

Not having Windows (or do you?) limits your choice of apps. Yolt has an iOS version but last time I looked they only support it for the iPhone. Whilst their app runs on other iOS devices, you could encounter lots of problems on unsupported devices. Other than that, I think it looks a good, free, app for your purposes,

Thank you. I had a quick look, but I can’t use this as I don’t use Windows.

Thank you. Yes, I did a search before posting, but as I said in my original post, I’d like something that links to my accounts as I quickly lose track when I have to manually edit in transactions.

I did download YNAB, but it won’t find or link to my Lloyd’s account.

Thank you. No, I don’t have any Windows computers. I did download Yolt and it does seem to be perfect for what I’m looking for, and it does support iPad too (I just have to enlarge the screen at the moment).

Have you had confirmation from Yolt that they support iPad? I know the app runs on an iPad - and you can lose all your data on an unsupported device when they provide an upgrade.....don't say you have not been warned.
