[App of the week] MoneyBook

Simple and elegant finance managing

September 22nd, 2011, 10:20 am

MoneyBook is an eye-pleasing budget manager by a young developer team based in Switzerland.
The problem with pretty app designs is that very often functionality is worse. This app provides both – an aesthetic interface and extensive functionality.

The app comes with two modes:
First the budget mode, which lets you determine a monthly budget which you can spend for whatever you want to.

Another option is to determine your budget and allow the app to include extra income to your monthly budget. This comes in handy in case you win the national lottery jackpot or simply have a friend who finally refunds the beer you ordered him the weekend before.

MoneyBook is quite easy for daily use. Transactions help you to keep an eye on your expenses and divide it into categories like food, clothes etc. Very useful is the option to setup recurring transaction for every month, such as rent or insurance, and you can start the month on any day you want to. If you receive your salary cheque in the middle of the month and not at the beginning you simply tell the app to start your budget at this point.

MoneyBook comes with a few gimmicks like a back-up function at the developers’ server and an .csv export function.

We strongly recommend to use all finance apps with a password. You wouldn’t do online banking without it right?

A little hint: Turn your smartphone into landscape mode to view you earnings and expenses as a pretty diagram. If it still makes you weep, that’s not the fault of the app …
