I have tried a lot of financial apps across platforms and have been pretty disappointed in the Android offerings.  I’ve probably tried about 6-8 different Android expense apps and have settled (for the time being at least) on EasyMoney.

First off, the UI is superior than most on the Android platform and that’s important to me.  More important however, is how easy it is to input data.  Let’s face it, if the UI is clunky and it takes 15 windows to input an expense, you’re less likely to use it regularly.  Because I own multiple phones on different operating systems, I am still waiting for a cloud-based solution much like Livestrong is for fitness that would sync everything everywhere.  Alas, that’s not available just yet, si I am using different software on each OS.

Like the better finance apps, EasyMoney allows for budgeting that can be customized to your needs.  I have a budget set for Apps across platforms and have been working with $35 a month for Android.  Each month it zeros out so I can start fresh.  Inputing data is simple and straightforward.  Enter the payee, amount, category (which is assignable and editable), type, date, notes and you’re all set.

You can review your accounts collectively or separate.  Reporting comes in many flavors and his highly adjustable.  You can review expenses by category, daily balance, monthly expenses, monthly income and monthly cash flow.  Once reviewing a report, you can easily change your date range for comparisons or further reporting.

*Updated*

Bill Reminder is a strong component of the app.  In fact, on the iPhone, there are some apps that only focus on bill reminders.  The repeating scheduler works like a charm, and you can also set how many days in advance you want to be notified of upcoming bills.  Of course you can also schedule the time to be notified.  The cool part is that when you mark it paid, it will automatically list it on the expense ledger.  Nice job.

So far so good.  Where the program falls short is exporting your data on the free version.  However, there’s a paid upgrade that has you covered with backup and .csv exporting.  It’s $5.95 and worth it in our opinion.

Overall the program meets my needs near perfectly.  Tons of pictures on the next page.
