The popularity of the iPhone far exceeded everyone’s expectations, and continues to be the highest selling phone many years after its launch. This fascination with the iPhone can be attributed largely to its endless functionality and personalisation. Being able to track income and outgoings via budgeting apps has proved a popular feature of the phone. There are over 500 apps in the market offering such services, but here were are going to look at three of the best.

Ace Budget

A frequently updated app, this little tool is simple and intuitive to use. Bold colours mean you can get instant indication of how your finances are looking without having to press the phone up against your nose or continually zoom in and out like you have to with some of the apps. You can segment your outgoings into various sections such as ‘Utilities’ and ‘Food’. You can also pull off reports to give you better long-term insight into your spending. One floor of this app is that the search feature could be improved to give more relevant results.

Expense Tracker

This app does much the same job as Ace Budget and allows you to switch between currencies with ease. The interface is not as clear as Ace Budget, but it’s still simple and has big clear buttons for adding income or expenses. This app even allows you to keep track of money requests you’ve made like solicitar credito. More useful things this app can do include being able to interface with Google Docs, transferring profiles between phones, and managing multiple profiles on one phone.

iXpenselt

If you want your money info more secure than Fort Knox, this is app for you. They are continually adding new safety and security features to ensure you finances remain personal information. Being able to store photo receipts that have been assigned to purchases is one of my favorite attributes of this app. One-touch back-up of data is another great feature. Overall this tool might not look as good as the other two and is not as enjoyable to use, but when it comes to serious finances, this is the one to choose.
