Set Goals And Track Your Money With SmartSaver
SmartSaver ($2.99) by SwiTec isn’t your conventional budgeting app. Instead of monitoring where all your money might be going, SmartSaver is designed to help you hold onto your money. The app allows users to create saving goals, which can be monitored over time. The app focuses on helping you save money instead of tracking money. However, it does additionally track your expenses though that is not the main feature.
To use the app to its full potential it requires information regarding what your income is, how much you expect to spend, and how much you can put aside to save. None of these figures have to be exact, nor are they completely necessary to utilize all the features, though it is extremely useful.
Once all the fields are completed, it calculates information for the users as to how much they should be saving, every day, week, month etc. This gives users a good estimate of how long it will take them to save for something or meet a set goal. Since the app also tracks other finances, users can review where their money is being spent as well.
There are also many other features included, such as graphical reports, multiple currencies, automatic currency conversion, and password protection. Users have the ability to email their expenses as well as have savings data backed up and restored.
The user interface seems to be very well designed; it takes full advantage of the multi-touch capabilities of the iPhone. The developers strayed away from the very dry look of many finance applications, and instead have included drawings and humorous backgrounds. It makes the app seem less serious, but don’t be fooled, there is still plenty of depth here.
As far as functionality goes, it’s very simple to use. They follow a very simple design; edit buttons to add things, tool bars to switch between different window views. Altogether, a fluid and smooth app. For $2.99 SmartSaver is an excellent finance app, and is sure to help you reach your savings goals.
