Money Box 3.0.0
Money Box is one such app and it is targeting Windows Phone users who want to set some goals aside from monitoring their savings, like collecting a certain amount of money to buy the gadget they are dreaming of for months on.
Front-end with neatly designed graphics
This utility has a nice interface in which the cute little piglets that are the universal symbol of piggy banks feel at home. The vividly colored money boxes are set against a black background and this really makes them stand out.
Moving from one money box to another is done pretty easily and coherently, with the mention that if you swipe fast, the images will not be loaded until you settle down to one of the screens.
Take care of money savings and set goals for several accounts
Each piggy bank you activate (up to 6) will have its own screen inside the app, so you can add the details corresponding to each of them without worrying they can become entangled in any way.
Adding or taking money from the savings box is a simple task if you use the corresponding buttons placed right above and beneath each piggy bank. Money Box also offers a list view of these operations, as well as a graph, so you can follow the evolution of each savings account.
A nice addition is the feature that allows you to set a target amount and even specify a date until it has to be reached. Further personalization of the goal is possible by typing in a savings wish that will be then displayed on the screen of that money box.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The practical layout of the application allows users to view the current amount of money inside the box, the target and savings wish at a glance. The visual customizations are, nonetheless, limited to the choice of colors for the penny banks. |
Function10
Very well thought is the set of features brought by this app, as it covers all the aspects one would be interested in when trying to save a few bucks. It even goes one step further by enabling users to set and follow their goals, while monitoring each incoming and outgoing cent. |
Security10
Money Box respects the user privacy and doesn't tap into any sensitive areas to look for phone or owner details, while the nagging ads and prompts we've seen in dozens of similar apps are missing altogether. |
Battery9
This utility plays very well with the system resources, as it needs only a small amount of power to keep it running. Even the cloud backup feature it comes with will not drain the battery because the application needs to upload only a simple text file to the user's OneDrive account. |
Price10
Given the possibilities offered by this app insofar as tracking personal savings is concerned and taking into consideration that it does all for free, top marks are well deserved here. |
Compatibility9
Money Box is tailored for all devices powered by Windows Phone 7.5 and more recent versions of the operating system, while it needs just a regular screen resolution to display everything properly. |
