HomeBudget is an integrated expense tracker designed to help you track your expenses, income, bills-due and account balances. It offers support for budgeting and allows analysis of your expenses and income, including charts and graphs. Two key differentiating features of HomeBudget are:

1. Integrated set of features. The features within HomeBudget are well integrated such that a bill can become an expense (when you pay for it) and also adjust the account balance at the same time.

2. Family sync. HomeBudget includes Family Sync, an advanced feature that allows a group of devices within the household to exchange expense and income information, and work together within a single budget. Once setup, the devices sync with each other automatically over the air. Family Sync works across all features including Bills and Accounts. Please refer to the Family Sync Quick Start guide at http://www.anishu.com for details.

Ratings and reviews

Really annoying to use. I wanted to try out the free version before buying. Glad I did if they are have the same in. It's UX is really irritating to use. Figuring out how to put recurring bills in and individual expenses is not intuitive and often end up under the wrong category. You have to enter expenses and then go back into them to "pay" them. My wife who isn't tech savvy was immediately put off. If you guys can make some improvements there it might be worth a second look.

Loved the ios version. Moved to android and wanted the same. The UX isn't nearly as nice. And the bills need an end date, which is such a big problem. Was using this app on ios for 10+years but now moving on due to android. Make it the same and I would come back. Make it nicer to use and no end dates. Thanks.

If you are looking to check and track household expenses and share it with you wife/ husband, it is the app you are looking for. Creator has managed allmost all function and created a great app. Few missing points - Should have option to transfer expenses from one header to another. Like transaction from bank account to cash header. and then from there to expenses. just to track cash.
