It is always great to keep track of your daily expenses with a digital tracker on your mobile device. Budget Balance makes it very easy to do so and even allows you to set a spending limit for yourself.
In Budget Balance, users can enter their monthly salary into the app so that it can compute your spending power and accordingly set a budget for you. Following which, the app will calculate how much you can spend on average per day based on this monthly salary as well as the percentage of budget you have left for the month. Users can also log their expenses and supplementary income and the app will update itself accordingly.
Budget Balance can also generate year round comparison reports that show your income details pit against that of your expenses.
Navigation around the app is made easy with a very basic menu and layout, despite the many features that come with it. However, although it is very simple to use, the app could do with a better design.
Entries can also be made easily and are neatly subdivided into their various subgroups. Icons separate them into the various fields such as clothing and food, and even specifics for the actual item itself are also available for entry. Users can also geo-tag the purchase to a particular location as well as upload an image of the product or even enter a note with comments on the purchase.
Priced at $4.99, I found Budget Balance a little on the expensive side of things but it was still a worthwhile investment. It made my purchases a lot clearer to me and I found it easier to keep tabs of my money. Of course, I did log the purchase of Budget Balance into the app itself.
