Pros and cons of Spending Log Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Spending Log Pro app good for

Very configurable app, that allows me to track my spending in the way that I want to. Just make sure you read the short instructions, so that you get the most out of it. The app is very fast and smooth and hasnt shown me any bugs yet.

This is the perfect app for recording daily expenses. They could iron out a few things. It doesnt show an accurate daily expense on the opening screen. But it works so well overall that I am happy to give it five stars.

Some bad moments

There is an image of a pie chart in the description. This pie chart function does not exist in this app, you need to buy an additional upgrade to activate it. This is misleading and a trickery!

Easy to input expenses and nice that you can create your own categories. Unfortunately its not very intuitive. Navigation between the screens doesnt flow well. And some of the screens are kind of unnecessary. There should be a settings page to eliminate the need for some of the screens and replace them with more pertinent information. A whole screen for time periods and accounts? Kinda useless. It would also be nice to be able to add notes to the transactions. Especially useful for miscellaneous categories (other) and for expenses that dont fall into any real category. Did I mention there should be a settings page? That way you could also define a reoccurring time period to reference. Whats with the charts. The categories chart labels all fall outside of the frame of my phone. I have to rotate to see two, then rotate again to see the other two. Thats right. Only a label for the top 4 not every one of the categories. And I paid an extra 99 cents for that. Hurting. Lastly it looks very plain and boring. I like it even less after writing this review. Its a little better than using the calculator and notes I guess

Dont waste your money on this cretinous App. Doesnt do what it claims. Very disappointed that I bought this.

Great start . I was looking for something that told me my spending bs, budget. Income for commissioned sales people doesnt help. Looks like you will be growing the app and I look forward to it!

I love that I get to keep track of my money and spillage monthly! Im a student and Im on a tight budget so this info is essential. Love my spending log!

This app is friggin awesome. I really needed to keep track of what I was doing with my money and I needed an app to help me keep track. It does that. Its not confusing at all, its like a checkbook for your cash that does the math for you. I love this app. Buy it now.
