It’s no secret that at times budgeting can be difficult, especially as a uni student. However, with the help of these top five budget apps, you are sure to be cutting back the costs and growing that bank account!

1. Pocketbook app

With the help of pocketbook app, your budget is all sorted for you. The app features a range of helpful budget tools; like allowing you to synchronise your bank account within just sixty seconds after signing up, auto categories which divides your spending to see where your cash is going, bill and spending limit alerts, automatic adding of transactions, as well as a manual transaction function via mobile photos and geolocation for transactions paid in cash, and safely spend budgeting limit, which keeps your spending within your budget. This app even gives you weekly budget summaries so, you’re sure not to fall behind on that budget.

2. Spendee Budget & Money Tracker App

Weighing up your income with your expenses can be difficult at times, and may even get you wondering if your budgeting correctly to pay those bills. Thanks to the help of spendee budget & money tracker, you can view both your expenses and income, easily using infographics to visually compare the two. Along with this, amongst its many budget features within the app such as budget categories and goals to mention just a couple, what I love most is that you can plan ahead for seasonal periods with custom wallets, designed to store savings for special events, such as the Christmas budget. You can even share these wallets with others, so if you and your housemates are budgeting for your end of term party, then you can all start contributing to the shared budget.

3. Splitwise

If you’re forever going over your share of the household budget because your housemate forgets to pay up in time, or always gets you to cover their share of the budget, but never pays you back when promised, then you need to get downloading the split wise app. This app allows you to evenly split all your bills as well as IOUs, so no housemate has any excuse for not paying their share of the household expenses on time. The great thing about this app is that not only does every one of your housemates have access to it the same way you do, but everyone can add expenses, meaning the budget isn’t just left to one person. So, if the door handle suddenly falls off from the bathroom door, you guessed it all your housemates get notified of the repair costs.
