This is excellent as it gives the user their bearings quickly, therefore allowing for a quick start up time. If you miss or forget anything you can pull up the help menu at any time using the question mark button down in the right hand corner.
The app has no menu and the first page you see is the current month. It will have two sections on it, revenue and expense. To quickly add an item tap ‘add item’ at the bottom of the screen. You can choose from the most popular choices of revenue or expense: car, pet, salary, misc. , medicine, house/apartment or food.
All items that you add are customisable and changeable at all times. Tapping on any item in the main page will bring up a page with it’s own options. On this page you can switch an item from revenue to an expense, and vice versa, by tapping the button at the top of the screen.
You can change the monetary amount, the date and the name of the in/outgoing, by tapping on the relevant title. Swiping across the screen will ‘turn the page’ to the next item for quick viewing. The icon down in the left hand corner adds the selected item to next month’s budget – perfect for adding a salary or bills quickly to the budget without manually inputting it each time.
From this page you can also delete an item. The main screen portrays the month and year and the current revenue the user has for that month. In the bottom left hand corner there is a pie-chart icon. This brings up a pie chart of the month’s expenses and revenue (again, switchable by the icon at the top of the screen).
The icon in the top right hand corner will change the chart to a graph. On the main screen you can swipe across to the next month. Any items you have manually added, or used the shortcut to add, will be shown here.
Swiping back allows you to access your previous month’s budgets. This app is perfect for anyone who wants to take control of their budget, watch their money or save up, by showing the user exactly where, when and on what their money is spent.
The user-friendly interface means that this app is ideal for people who want a simple and easy to user budget calculator without being overloaded with any unnecessary information or options.
