CoinKeeper is a very clever app, both in its concept and in the way it works. Most financial management programs are either complicated or boring. This is neither the one nor the other. After installing it, you have to feed it with a series of data, such as the salary we receive and if we have any extra income such as rent, some botch ...

You have the option that the application make a plan of income and expenses automatically or keep track of the data yourself.

Every time we have to make a disbursement, we move a “coin” from the account to the category and a menu is displayed to indicate the exact amount, as if it were a game.

That sense of fun is helped by the design of CoinKeeper, with very clear visual interface and colorful icons. Almost without realizing it and only on a screen you will draw a profile of your expensesBased on expert estimates, each line item can alert you if you're going over budget.
