Ledger is designed around double-entry accounting. Because Ledger is based on proven accounting practices, your transactions can be as complex as you need them to be. Record income, expenses, transfers, and splits through a simple interface.
When viewing accounts and their transactions, balances are at the forefront. Balances are charted for each account. For bank accounts, see significant deposits and withdrawals at a glance. For income and expenses, see your budget plotted against your spending balances — a budget tracker that shows how you're actually doing against your plan.
Capture transactions using CSV import. Automations can be created to assign categories based on transaction text. You can also set up integrations in Shortcuts, saving entries when using Apple Pay.
Sometimes a calendar is the best way to navigate your spending. From the main screen, it shows any transactions that happened on a given day. Open it from an expense account and you can see how often you're dining out, making online purchases, and so on — a budget calendar that makes patterns easy to spot.
Budgets can be a great tool when managing your money, but sometimes it's hard to know where to start. Open stats from each account to see your per-month spending over the past year. Once you create your budget, that line is overlaid on your spending chart.
Sometimes your invoices come far in advance. Ledger supports transaction statuses. When you receive an invoice, record it as "planned." From the main screen, open the Upcoming screen to see which invoices are coming due. For more predictable expenses, create a schedule and assign a template transaction. Entries can be generated on those dates as they occur.
Ledger supports backup and restore. It supports iPhone and iPad, and your data can be synced between devices. Dark mode and Spotlight search are also supported.
I have been eagerly waiting for the update on this app so I can get my accounts back up to date, but this new version (2.0) won't even open. I get a blank sheet and then it just returns to the homepage. Please fix, as I do all my account keeping with this app, and have found it to be great up until now.
Real accounting at last
Fred was here
I went through all of the expense/accounting apps on the store and found only this to provide double-entry bookkeeping, and that feature really is a killer advantage for anyone serious about tracking, understanding and managing their income and expenditure but wanting to do it easily.Not everyone is familiar with the concept of course, but this app makes it remarkably easy to handle so its audience and accessibility should be far wider than just those with a little experience or knowledge of the field. The support web site helps out there too.There are some features I would like to see but I am sure improvement will happen and there is a Feature Request section on the support site which is already active. Password protection, mentioned by a previous reviewer, is already done for example. The core, which is a working personal accounting system costing peanuts and right there on your iPhone, is wonderful.Five stars for the concept and implementation to date. It will be improved but that is not a reason to withhold the last star.
Great, but can be more streamlined!

Ledger is a great app that stays true to the accounting (A = L+E) equation, and in that sense it does its job. The application, though, needs to become more user friendly and streamlined (its main menu is awfully blocky, it would be helpful if they were collapsable), and two or three screens to enter one transaction is abit much. Though Ledger hopefully will continue to improve, and i'll be here using it still =)

If you want to keep track of where your $$ are or where they've been going, then this is the app for you.It seems there's a new version, this hasn't automatically been notified to me on the appstore.A couple of tweaks, (which users could do anyway by exporting the data to excel) might be nice. I'd love to be able to generate a monthly/quarterly/etc reports or graphs expense/revenue/etc catagories over time.
