I’ve tried many personal finance apps that do too much or too little or are time consuming to set up, to use and to navigate so I never actually follow through and use them.
In contrast, Ahorro does only what I need it to do, no more and no less. Set up is easy and fully customizable and inputting and displaying data is super fast! Hey, I’m actually using it every day so it is helping me to finally get a handle on my personal finances and now I can begin to relax knowing that I’ve got it covered.
Key features: password protection, customize categories, recurring income/expenses, budgeting feature, customize currency, a notes category for each entry, backups and data syncing.
One option that I hope to see in a future update is the ability to scan receipts and attach them to expenses to have a quick and easy way to itemize purchases.
To get the app to properly display your chosen currency EVERYWHERE : SETTINGS/Currency (select your currency preference), SETTINGS/Accounts (create a NEW account, make it your default and delete the account that came with the app).
If youd like to use the helpful Budget feature which let’s you know how much money you have left to spend to stay within your budget: SETTINGS/Budget (I gave myself a cushion and defined a budget amount that was $500 less than my total.)
Once you’ve set things up, youll be able to see at a glance how much money you started with, how much you spent (including the percentage spent in each category) as well how much you still have left to spend without going over your predefined budget amount.
