Expense Tracker Free 3.4

Keep a close eye on your finances by monitoring the incomes and the expenses through a simple app for your phone
Preserving a convenient balance between the money you earn and the amounts you spend can be difficult to accomplish without a specialized assistant. Fortunately, there are numerous utilities that can help you do that and Windows Phone users can try an app like Expense Tracker Free to see how useful it can be.

Dull appearance for a rather well organized GUI

This particular application 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.

The smart organization of all categories of incomes and expenses is somewhat troubled by the presence of the continuously changing ad banners that are shown inside the interface in every screen.

Fast data input and content customization

Adding amounts for various categories of incomes and expenses is done in a very simple manner and Expense Tracker Free has the advantage of being able to handle several accounts equally easily.

For each new entry, you can specify the corresponding category and in case it doesn't exist by default, you can create it in a couple of moments. The customizations do not stop here as you have at your disposal a means of managing the subcategories for expenses.

Built-in data protection and backup features

In order to help you make sure your data stays secure, the application is offering a password protection feature. The only thing to keep in mind about it, besides the passcode is that in case the access key is lost, so will be your data, because there is no way of getting inside the app.

There is also a backup and restore function ready to be used and it will sent all the records to your OneDrive account in a few taps. Alternately, you can go for the email option and send expenses and incomes to your own inbox.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The interface has a really disappointing look, despite the nice way of structuring the material information. Besides that, there are the irritating adverts that follow the user in every section of the application.

Function10
 

Highly customizable and providing numerous ways to view the expenses and incomes, this utility scores top marks in this respect also because it has a solid set of extras for protecting the info and backing it up with minimal efforts.

Security7
 

The inquisitive nature of Expense Tracker Free works against it as it requires access to several areas of the system that are not related with the app's functioning.

Battery9
 

The application manages to work with very few resources and keeps the battery usage at very low levels at all times.

Price9
 

This tool offers a lot without asking for anything in return, except for enduring a stream of advertisements, but, even so, it remains a very valuable app to have.

Compatibility9
 

Well prepared to run on a wide range of handsets, this application needs only version 7.5 and above of the operating system to be installed, as it doesn't have other special requirements.
