Budget app for iphone

[disneymagicgirl]

Can anyone recommend a great iPhone app for keeping up with your household budget? I started searching the App Store and there were MANY choices. Thought I would come to the source for all things budget to narrow it down. Thanks!

I really love Mint, but it's far from perfect. With that said, it has helped me immensely keep track if our spending & budgeting.

Thx. I read about that one. It seems it automatically categorizes your purchases, right? So what if I go to costco and have a mix of items. I assume it would dump them all in the grocery budget, right? Can you edit it or something to split it, say clothing, in its correct category?

Yes it organizes your purchases for you. However if you would like to place a purchase in another category, you can easily change it. And yes, you can split a purchase as well. Mint has a variety of choices for budget categories, however you cannot create them. I love it & it has truly changed my life! My biggest complaint is that it budgets from the first of one month to the first of the next month. This is difficult when my income & expenses are on different days. I have recently started to change the dates of my purchases which is just as easy as changing the category, but it is a hassle. I wish you could choose when the budget time starts & ends. But truly, thats my only complaint. It still helps me track my spending and see our entire portfolio in one place. I use Mint daily from my phone & iPad. Let me know if you have any other questions.
