Quick Snowball LE
Free AppAbout Quick Snowball LE
Track your Debt Snowball - this app allows you to enter and track your debts - and calculates balances and payoff dates based on the Debt Snowball method (pay the minimums on everything, and attack smallest debt first), as recommended by financial counselors such as Dave Ramsey.
This IS a very basic app - written in response to the fact that when we started the Dave Ramsey plan in March 2010, there was no simple free app available that could do exactly the bit of functionality I needed.
Basic Instructions:
1. Add your debts, including minimum payments, APR, original (for payoff display) and current amounts.
2. The app will display your debts in a list from SMALLEST to LARGEST. This is the 'debt snowball' - yes it is not mathematically optimal, but for many people is better psychologically.
3. In 'settings', set the 'Extra' monthly amount you expect to be able to apply to debt.
4. Pay the MINIMUM only on ALL debts except the top one on the list. Any extra disposable income should be applied to the SMALLEST debt to get it paid off.
5. The app calculates your payoff dates based on your 'Extra' monthly payment, so you can easily change your 'Extra' payment to see how taking a 500/month part time job can accelerate your overall payoff time. If you leave "Extra" = 0, then you are essentially planning to make minimum payments ONLY.
6. The first time you open the app each month, it will re-calculate (based on APR, minimum payments, and applying the amount you have saved as 'Extra' towards the smallest debt) what your current balances for all debts should be. If you pay more than the minimum on some debts, or the 'Extra' amount is not correct, you can also manually adjust those balances - but if the data is all correct, the new balances should all auto-calculate properly at the beginning of each month.

Ok, it's not Dave Ramsey's debt snowball, but it is just as good as a reminder for you to stay in check with your debt. I think it's awesome!

I use this for my debt snowball but I also have a category for my little emergency fund, my big emergency fund and my house savings. I just enter them as 0.1% and then if I have money in any of those accounts I can track those with my debts and know when I'll have them funded. Love that I can do that with this app! :)

Doesn't help you DO anything. It is as helpful as writing a list of debts on s napkin.

Great! This provided a simple visualization of our debt. Note: to add in extra payments, just edit loan's current balance.

I can not enter cents for my debts and payments. The decimal seems to only work when entering the APR. Love the UI, how I am quickly able to tell where I stand, and the ability to calculate the extra payments.. Would be 4 stars except not being able to enter the decimal point really bothers me.

Mine is keeping its memory. Glad I'm down to just four sets including my home. But.... Is all it does is show me my current debts, and that's it? Need a small readme.

Its a good general tool, but it doesn't accept decimals so you have to update it manually every few months. Its great to get an attack plan; not worth keeping long term.

Either I can't tell or this app actually does nothing but create a bar showing what percentage you have paid off. Which you probably already know. Uninstalled.
