Better than Budgeting:
This app has a strong focus on simplicity. It can be so easy to record a transaction: tap the desired category from the apps home screen --> the QuickAdd-dialog opens – from here, you can enter the desired amount with a large, easy to read number pad --> hit OK and you’re done. The amount you entered is automatically assigned to the current day. 95% of the time that’s all you need. And if you really need to enter more details (different date, payment method, comments, etc.) you can use a detailed dialog.

The app does not have every function you can imagine, but rather utilizes a solid set of features. It aims to be an app you actually use - not just install. It’s ad-free and no Internet connection is required.

Usage scenarios:
- Use it as your primary spending tracker
- Use it to record your spending on the road in combination with another tool at home
- The app can also be used temporarily to keep track of a shopping tour, vacation or business trip
- A compatible desktop app is also available (see below)

Main Features:
- From the Category List, you can reach all the central functions with a single tap
- Categories can be grouped by expenses, income and investments
- Assign each category a suitable icon
- Enter transactions with the QuickAdd dialog without having to use the native keyboard
- Several charts and reports are available
- Configure two standard payment options to be used within the QuickAdd dialog
- No Internet connection is required
- Export your data to CSV
- Mail yourself the exported data directly from the app
- Backup and recovery features
- Detailed documentation is also integrated

A free compatible desktop app for Windows or Mac is also available.

Pros and cons of Better than Budgeting app for iPhone and iPad

Better than Budgeting app good for

Have been using it for about a week - love it. So easy to setup and use. Graphs are great. Now planning on getting desktop version to better-analyze data. Super budgeting tool.
I really like the App but now since the recent update the App name now appears in what looks like German to me. Also in the Tools section when showing charts there is a mix of English and German.
