App for tracking money

Michael121

Does anyone know of an app that can track all my money? 
I want something that does everything, tracks all my bank accounts, investments and day to day spending. I don't mind paying a subscription fee, i just need something simple, finding myself spending way to much time tracking what I've got when i could be using that time to doing something i enjoy.

Or you could discipline yourself to check less often?
Be wary of a firm that puts your total wealth on your front-page; it's often a cover for charges behind the headline figure. I'm thinking of True Potential and St James Place.

Emma is one and Money Dashboard is another. I don’t think that open banking is quite there yet, but those two apps are probably what you are looking for.

Well i was exaggerating a bit by saying im checking to often, i guess what i meant to say was when i do check what's what im having to log into a lot of accounts which is a pain.

Cheers bud il have a look at them, was just looking on Morningstar but that wont solve the day to day spending spree i have been on. Its amazing what you can find when you go through bank statements a year old.

+1 to Moneydashboard.  The problem would be linking in your investment accounts.  What you can do, is setup a static account, and manually update.  Not the best, but it will link in all your other accounts - as long as your providers use open banking.

MS Money.
AceMoney.

Not apps but Windows desktop based and better / more complete than all the new-fangled stuff.

I've been using Quicken since 1996. Tried a few others in the meantime (MS Money and, latterly, some of the app type things) - I've never found anything that's better than Quicken. 

Don't know how long you spending tracking stuff but I log all spending daily and update share prices weekly. In addition I track a couple of mortgages, house value and a savings account. Average 10 minutes a day if that.

There's always just Excel or Google Sheets (and you get to work on spreadsheet skills). Neither Quicken or Money are supported in the UK anymore and the 'sunset' versions of the software are now quite old. In the absence of Quicken I'd go with Excel as a preference to anything online - definitely can't see the point of paying for an app.
