Budget Diary 2015.411.1105.1715

Quite a few people are concerned about keeping their personal finances under control and look for ways of limiting expenses to save some money or simply remain within the limits of a decent budget, without overloading the credit cards or resorting to loans.

For those interested in logging and monitoring their expenses and incomes with the help of their Windows Phone handset, Budget Diary is one of the apps that could come in handy.

Practical interface, with a decent aspect

This particular utility is less visually appealing than most similar tools, but this is because it focuses on practicality rather than good looks.

The color scheme may be rather monotonous, but there are some nicely designed charts inside and the information is presented in a very easy to read manner all through the app.

All the functions and commands are placed at hand and the content is very well structured inside the several areas where the financial data is preserved and offered for analysis.

Add transactions and budget details on the go

Budget Diary takes care of the most important tasks in a simple manner, as it allows you to add and edit transactions on the fly. Whether they are expense or income related, the records can be marked as recurring if necessary and modified at any time after their creation.

The current budget balance is displayed inside the dedicated area the main screen at all times and you can track several accounts at once. The dashboard from the main screen displays last months transactions, expenses by category and the overall asset trend.

With this app you can set future and past transactions, while there is also a recurrence feature supported. Adding products to the catalog so as to have them available when recording new transactions is also possible.

View data charts, export and backup financial info

The accounts and budget charts can be easily loaded and they appear in landscape mode, for offering the best fit on your phone's display.

In order to help you make sure your data stays secure, the application is offering a password protection feature that relies on a 4-digit PIN code.

Also, some supplementary functions are the OneDrive backup and restore abilities that make it possible for you to save the information from Budget Diary to your cloud storage.

The data export feature enables you to share or export the transactions and the supported file format is limited to CSV. There is a letdown related to this particular feature as well because the app sometimes crashes when this option is selected.
