So what exactly do they do?
These apps are a great way to track your daily spending habits. They will give you an overview of how you're spending your hard earned cash on a daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly basis. You can also select and rename categories to see what your biggest expense is.
Spoiled for choice
Simply type in 'budgeting app' into the search field and it will bring up many apps that all do the same job in different ways. You can have a quick look to see how they work before you even download it, saving you time and data.
What do the consumers say?
Most of the more established apps have been tried and tested, and come with reviews and star ratings to help make your choice easier. Some are quite lengthy and detailed, telling you how they've worked for them and whether they have had any technical issues with the app. This is exactly what helped me to make my choice.
How has it worked for me?
Since I started using my budget app I can see where I'm throwing money down the toilet. It also shows me how expensive my car is to run and how much money I have left until my next payday. In order for this to work successfully you must make an entry every time you spend money. No matter how little the purchase is. The funny thing is... Since I started using this app I've tightened up my purse strings.
