Ledgerist is free today from Amazon's Appstore for Android.
The app description asks if you still use pen and paper. Well, do you? We do, and it hasn't failed us yet, other than forgetting to put all purchases and withdrawals in it sometimes. This app helps eliminate the need to carry the big (big by today's standards) clunky checkbook register in exchange for another dollop of digital data downloaded to your device. A device that you already use for nearly every facet of life.
Which makes an app like this questionable. Do you get your spending habits involved into the storage device of a piece of electronics small enough to lose or mishandle? Backups are easily managed with this app, though the csv files are backed up to your SD card. You then need to get them off the SD card and onto a laptop or to a cloud storage system somehow, like by email or USB. If you lose your phone, you also lose the SD card in the slot and all its contents.
Ledgerist features simple and clean interface with not many bells or whistles. One good feature is the four digit passcode security simply meant to keep others from looking at your finances. Not by any means a secure 128bit encryption for wireless data transfer. More like a privacy lock on a door knob.
I am hoping to see some of the Amazon reviewers suggestions used in future updates because there are some good ones. But for now, go grab Ledgerist while its still free today.
