Pennies – budget tracking finance app for iPhone

Pennies

Its a very intuitive finance app and the UI is a treat to use. Its developed by design by a knife.

When you first launch the application you are presented with a “This Month” budget screen where you can set your monthly budget, see how much you’ve spent, see top expenses, and add a new expense. With just two taps, you can enter your monthly budget and begin tracking your expenses immediately. Pennies features a beautifully designed and extremely simple interface that allows you to record purchases in seconds. You can then view your daily receipts and expense entries for the past days in the  Expense tab. The application also features a History tab where you can see expenses from the past months. The application gives you an option to export data in csv format and its emailed to the account you provide.

The application has got major drawbacks too. Export option is only available in CSV format , while many other apps provide a neat html tabular format that you can easily understand. Once you add an expense you have an option to delete the entry, but no option to edit it. You can not select the date for an expense entry, the date is automatically added as today’s date. The app has not been updated in a while, so its not worth investing in it as the bugs and feature requests are most likely not going to be rectified/implemented. No desktop sync option. Can not add / edit category. No scheduled transaction option.
