So, how’ta balance your checking in style. The answer? Your iPhone and the free money program, Balance.

There may be paid programs out there to balance your checking / savings… but you don’t need them if you need something simple.

Balance is free and up on the app store. It has a simple, un-cluttered but nice (not great) looking interface. It allows password protecting (a must), allows you to enter withdraws and deposits, allows you to add a title (“Wal-mart”) and note (“iPhone adapter jack”) for transactions, and allows you to set the date. It’s important to note it also allows you to edit (or delete) any transaction and change anything about it. Then it shows your balance, so you can know your what money you really have in the bank and not just what transactions have posted.

I haven’t found any other free app (or even paid apps) that do check balancing, so although Balance lacks more complex features, it works perfectly for me.

Peace, J
