Budget Buddy 3.5.0.823

Create and manage a budget, while tracking all expenses and incomes from the same app
Setting personal finances in order and keeping costs under control is something many people are trying to achieve through different methods.

For those who are on the go most of the time or simply feel more inclined towards carrying out such tasks using their mobile devices, Budget Buddy for Windows Phone is a neat tool for budgeting or monitoring expenditures and earnings.

Well designed front-end, with a friendly layout

The utility comes with a really cool look, featuring some carefully designed graphics all through the app. The neat backgrounds and pleasant color scheme make the experience very pleasant, while the good organization of the content adds more value from this perspective.

If moving through the numerous sections of the app is a breeze, thanks to a fluent navigation, the ad banners shown in the lower side of the screen are quite irritating as they keep on changing.

Budget status at a glance

With Budget Buddy you can set a fixed amount that will be the maximum value for the total expenditures, while inside the main screen you will get an overview of your finances.

Thus, you can keep close at hand the amounts you spent and those which remain in the budget, this information being presented with cold numbers and also in the form of fill bar.

To view the details for your spending, access the "Track Your Status" area and browse the daily and monthly stats, as well as check out a series of charts and graphs.

Recurring payments and upcoming expenses

Inside Budget Buddy you can find a calendar where you can add bills and other expenditures, as well as view those that are due at a certain date.

Creating new entries here is simple, at least for the first entry you add for a certain day because if you want to make several entries for the same date, you will have to press longer on the day tile to bring up the screen for the new recurring event.

Add photo expenses and transfer data to and from the cloud

This utility brings an innovative approach to tracking expenses as it offers a function for taking a photo of the bill or receipt you will add later to the database.

Budget Buddy is also able to save the expenditure data to your OneDrive account and you can import it as well, all with a few couple of taps.
