Financius - Expense Manager for Android
Had this for two years and maybe even longer. It was the best I have found back then. The developer abandoned the app and never get to tweak the app to its perfectness. It's still a great app for its simplicity and customizable categories/subcategories. I actually waited for the developer for a whole year because I love this app so much. But no sign of updates and no sign of further development on his new app which I thought it's basically the same as this one. Anyway I am done.
The app was great and worked perfectly until the last update (over a month ago). Ever since it started crashing every time I try to add a new entry. I've tried reloading my saved data and also starting from a fresh re install and it crashes very time. Hope you fix it
Amazing app with capability for multiple accounts, each in a currency of your choice. Truly useful, can make a cash account and bank account and transfer to keep track of ATM withdrawals. Only problem: settings button doesn't work, to over ride, slide from left. Wish there were more statistics but great app.
*****Suggestion: Make it possible to jump to date from expense overview.
After update this morning, I lost all my data!!! This is so terrible. Since the developer disable the backup function, so I cannot get back my data at all. I used to donate to you for your wonderful work, but I'm very disappointed and angry now. looking forward to a fix. any plan to give back my data?
I love this app and recommend it constantly. Here are some things I wish it had: to be able to search the transactions by tags and also by account, I wish it showed the total amount of income daily/weekly/monthly, and personally I'd like it if I could set recurrent payments/incomes and that I got a notification the date they're set up on and I just had to verify it.
Few suggestions: add search option, account transfer option, sharing with family members, monthly income report, transaction list for each category. Also, tags are not really useful as you can't filter report by them. This would make it perfect!
I tried so many apps to record my incomes and expanses, and no others are like this one. It's local, supports sync, multi counts, custom categories and simple report, and ads free. 5 stars for your work. Thank you.
Readers, don't take this comment negatively. After update, Option for splitting a single expense amount from multiple accounts is gone. I need that feature. It was really helpful. Please bring it back!
Very useful app. There's only one thing you guys need to add here before the app is worth 5☆ to me... I have to manually put in my income (which is the same every month) and my costs for my insurance (which is the same every month), just why? It is really irritating me.
A decent app.I was looking for something more like add more accounts & view into the details of the added accounts, which is currently missing. Guys please come up with this so I can come back to you......
Great App! Been using it for more than an year now. But Please implement a way to get a filtered list of the transactions...like, all transactions linked to an account when clicking on the account name. Or all transactions in a category when clicking on the category name in the report. Please do this if possible!
Very light app. Has all the simplicity and functions for average use and expense logging. But still feels incomplete without few features like transfer between accounts, sub categories and recurrent auto transaction logging.
I input my data without signing in, and when I try to sign in using my gmail, apparently all my data's gone. Is there anyway I can get my data back? Appreciate if you can help. I have my whole 3 months worth of expenses there. Thanks!
I wish I could just jump online on my pc and plug in a bunch of stuff to get started. I am trying to look at trends in the last few months of my accounts, but have to input each separately, which can be a little clunky on the phone, but I have always preferred a really keyboard. Otherwise fantastic
It took me a while to configure it to my taste, but I finally figured out how to transfer fund from one account to another. You have to click the transfer icon next to the balance number in the transaction screen until it turns gray, which means it isn't an income nor expense. The trend graph is amazing.
Can't for the life me work out to make debit transactions to balances. Every time I add a transaction it adds it to the balance of the account.
I hope u can make 2 place.... 1 for income and 1 for out come... and a total. U have income and expense. But the money just end up adding. I set buy food 20$ and earn from salary 30$. So the money i have left should be 10$ not 50$
The developers have gone mad!! Have you guys ever heard about user acceptance test or UAT ?!? How could you make a moderately efficient app so stupid?!? For example I have only one account still I need to click and select that one damn account?!? If I select food category and want groceries as tag then I will have to scroll from a to g all tags?!? Why?!! I have selected food show the tags relevant!! Why do I need to select account if I have only one?!? Searching for an alternative will uninstall asap.
I checked out literally 10s of apps before zeroing on this one. Couldn't have asked for a better one. Kindly add the facility to capture the bill images per transaction as well. Thank you
The app looks good, works good. Just the following features must be added : 1. Recurring expense 2. Money Lending option.please add these features. And the people who are complaining about account transfer is not available, please do check the app throughly then comment. When adding transaction there is a button on left hand corner for that. Red for expense, green for income & grey for transfer. Hope this will help.
I love the app dont get me wrong but the updates are just crazy! You should bring the total earnings back so we could see our balance! Also, the most used category filter so you wont have to scroll to all the categories. What the app needs as well. In the reports. Maybe you could add a feature where you can just tap a category and you will see all the entries that was made to it.
Why is it that when I am entering a transaction, all fields gets populated first, but when I want to enter a new Note then all the previous fields get wiped off and I have to really enter them? Note should be a free text without any link to the rest of the fields in the transaction.
It needs borrowing/lending option. And also, you can't see how much you've spent on one category across months (ot any time period you chose)
Requires transfer feature to transfer funds from one account to another (for eg while paying a credit card.) And needs a search feature. These 2 things would make it the best expense management app out there.
Kindly add account transfer option.... It is minimum to an app like this.... Otherwise good app.. Like ur login option... Keep going...
Almost 5 stars, but I don't like the fact that on transactions the previous data (tags and account) are already filled in. But that's just a preference thing. Otherwise the best money manager app I've come across.
So far the only completely free app without ads I've found. Would love to see option for transfer from one account to another and lending/borrowing management. Loving it for what it already offers. Edit: I found a workaround for both these features (include in reports thing), however, now I think a category wise transaction list and search feature would be nice :)
I like the app its nice smooth design is minimalistic has everything you need to track your expenses. But i am rating 4 cause the problem is you cant see your income at reports. Hope you guys add that feature
Great app only problem is, I'm not sure how to add money to an account. When I select the salary option it still withdrawals money from the account instead of adding money to the account. Unsure if this is a bug or I'm missing something. Once this is fixed it will be 5 stars.
Hope i can add limit budget each category. Then it's perfect!
This is by far, the best personal finance app I have ever downloaded and used. I have tried 90percent of the apps out there, and they are all crap. Well actually crap would be an understatement. If you are like me and have the need to keep track of your daily expenses, add funds and view reports all in the most simple way possible DOWNLOAD THIS APP.
Beautiful and efficient money tracker. Account manipulation has been implemented brilliantly. Sync makes sure my data is never lost. I have some small requests that would make it even better -- In the categories report menu, if a category is clicked, it should bring up the transactions menu, listing only the transactions of that particular category...The Trends in the overview menu, can be given some click action, like opening the report :D and would love to see some great themes.Thanks!
There is no balance in overview.....why??? I want to know how much money i can spend.
Best personal finance app for Android - but for two fatal flaws. 1) Tags are *wonderful* for micro-managing spending - but the tag list gets super-long! (If I want to add a tag to Category Restaurant, I have to dig through my entire, huge list to find "Tip." Tags should be assigned to Category so you only see relevant ones.) 2) No way to do transfer between accounts. Yuck! I had to buy My Budget Book just for the account transfer feature - its uglier and harder to use! D:
Originally gave ****, but after using for 2 weeks, I'm changing to ***. Improving the following would make me change back to ****. -- App is unable to filter transactions. ---- This means I am unable to show transactions from only 1 account. -- There is no option to transfer a balance. ---- This would come in handy when paying off a credit card. I currently have to do this as two separate transactions. -- App is unable to set up repeating payments. ---- This would be useful for recurring monthly bills.This also means I can't use the app as a bill reminder. >>Adding the following idea as well would make it a ***** app for me. -- An option for shared accounts to be updated from multiple devices. ---- This can possibly be done through text messaging from the app. The shared account will have a phone number on file. When the account is updated the app will send a text to that phone number. When the text message is received, the app can be running in the background, and update itself based on info in the text message. If the app is not running in the background, then it should update the information when the app is opened.
Does not sum up actual balance correctly, when using two diff currencies. Counts all as a single currency UPDATE: increased mark to 4 stars. It all works if starting anew. Bad that it did not allow flawless usage of the app after restoring from a backup UPDATE 2: the addition of cloud syncing makes this a go-to app, perfect, thanks
the most suitable app for me. the only important thing that this app doesn't have is to transfer money between accounts
Have one big issue recently, all my data is gone. I have post the issue on github. I will rate it back if the problem is fixed... Separated Accounts, Simple Chart Report, Tagging and many other useful functions built inside a very friendly, nice and easy-to-use interface makes Financius so extraordinary and outstanding for those who always get confused why is their wallets so thin at the end of the month.

I really miss a feature to see both the salary and expenses in the Reports. With just expenses shown I can't tell if I'm in a positive balance or not at the end of the month. Also, what are the graphs for if they don't show the numbers on Y axis? I can't click on them to get the data tip as shown in screenshots here. Option to expend the category and show Tag expenses when you click on Pie chart. Cheers!
