Parenting is truly a 24×7 job. With little energy left at the end of the day, I just casually browse through the SMS and mails I receive each time I make a payment. As a generation, we hardly have the time or the patience to sit and tally the monthly accounts and expenses like our parents did. Neither do we spend enough time looking at the previous balance sheets and figuring where all the money goes. Today, we tell you all about this super time-saver expenses tracker app that makes life easier for parents.

Spending Tracker:
Spending Tracker, is, in short, your pocket-friendly finance assistant. Helps you track your expenses, category-wise and over a customised time period. A much-needed assistant in a time when parenting is turning out to be costly!
What does the app do?
Spending on something? Go ahead, do that and make sure you make an entry in the app, with just the date, amount and category. The app helps track your expenses with customised charts and shows you exactly where your money goes (and how much you need to cut back on!)Â Set a budget or a cap on your expenses and the app alerts you when you are dangerously close to it! Just the way our moms would do! The in-app ads might irk you on a bad day, but you can pay a small amount to do away with them and to use certain premium features.
What makes this app useful:Â
- If you have a category to note how much you are spending on your baby’s diapers, simply name a category and set a diaper image as its icon. This customisable option makes it easier for parents to quickly note where the money goes.
- Your expenses chart can be exported to Excel or PDF for a more leisurely reading and analysis.
- You have the option to select one of the listed currencies, but his app doesn’t support currency conversion- something for the future updates, maybe?
- The app might not have the stand out technical features as the other ones in the market, but it is surely one of the most easy-to-use and useful apps every parent needs to have.

The app is free to download on iOS and Android
