Frequently Asked Questions

Is BudgetCare easy to use?

Yes, BudgetCare is very easy to use indeed! No preparations are needed, like setting a budget limit, filling in a list of expense categories or any other setup. Just run BudgetCare and start writing down your expenses.

How should I use BudgetCare?

Make it a habit to record all your everyday expenses. After you go shopping, or dining out, or spend money on whatever else just run BudgetCare and write down all expenses. Later on, check Statistics and see where your money has gone.

How Statistics is useful to me?

If you have statistics just for several past weeks, you can get a real picture on what for and how much exactly do you spend during a month. More statistics you have, the better you know about your spending habits. This allows you to predict, plan or even minimize your spending if you found that some expenses were useless or unreasonable.

What is Budget & Balance for?

You are not required to set your monthly budget. However, if you do so, you will see how the budget is filled in with your actual expenses. With each new expense added, a green bar will get longer and closer to the monthly limit you've set.
Also, Budget & Balance is useful to see your overall monthly report. It will show you the values of total spending, monthly balance, and categories with most and least expenses.

Can I see a category with most expenses?

Yes, you can. Go to Monthly list view in Statistics and you'll see a category with most expenses on the 1st line. This list is sorted by expense values, so categories on which you spend more are at the top.
Another way is to go to Budget & Balance and look at previous months: you will see categories with most and least expenses.

How can I find any previously entered expense fast?

That's easy: go to Daily or Weekly views in Statistics and tap "Jump to date". Then pick a desired date and you will get to that day instantly.

The built-in list of categories is not good to me. Can I have my own?

Of course, you can. We tried to make a list of categories suitable for average common everyday experience, but you are free to change it according to your needs. If you see that some default category or subcategory is not useful to you, you are free to delete it, rename it, or add your own.

How can I edit or delete a transaction I've entered before?

Go to Daily list view in Statistics, find a desired transaction and click it. A screen with transaction details will open where you can change an amount, category or date. In order to delete it, click "Delete transaction" button.

Do you plan adding new features in BudgetCare?

Yes, definitely. We work on the list of features requested by other users and schedule BudgetCare updates. If you have any suggestion on how we can improve BudgetCare, please let us know by submitting support form.
