Finances 2 4+

I cycled thru a bunch of budgeting apps before finally deciding on Finances. The manual control of accounts and expense categories really nailed it for me. It makes it easy to track every cent that flows in and out of my accounts, including repeating transactions.

Its design is clean and fits well with the iOS aesthetic. Sync between devices, including Mac, is rock solid.

I do feel like it's lacking in a few features. On the iPad, I wish it had even basic external keyboard shortcuts. Sub accounts in the list can’t expand and collapse like they can on the Mac. When editing a transaction, it would be smoother to remove the Edit button and just bring up edit controls if a parameter is tapped in the pop up window.

This is definitely the best app that I have used to keep track of my finances. I like the fact that I have to enter all the transactions in myself. Doing it that way keeps me more accountable. Really! Like the syncing between iPhone app and Mac app. Only thing that I have an issue with is being able to add credit cards on here to keep track of balances. I am not sure how to do that, I messaged help and their instructions weren’t very user friendly. Only videos that I have found I like about it you have to pay for 🤦🏾‍♂️. Excellent app aside from that.

This app seems to be what I’m looking for but I’m confused as to why it seems like a free app but after downloading and creating 1 journal I get the option for a 14 day trial or pay 4.99. I don’t mind paying if it is worth it so I shall make that decision after my trial time but I feel a bit deceived. I was comparing this app to free ones, now I need to reconsider and compare to paid apps. I could be getting something better at the same price with another app. I thought my search was over (keeping my fingers crossed that it is because I love the double bookkeeping) but sadly I don’t know now.
