I clearly remember keeping whatever pocket money I received in a brown-covered notebook that was commonly used in school then. In that very same book, I kept track of my spending on my toys and some food &#8211; my mother taught me to make ledgers in it, splitting into credit, debit, and balance at the end of each week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pen and paper governed all the filing needs back then, but today we have smartphones, and our smartphones have apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Money Lover Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back in 2015, I figured that I needed to start being serious about tracking my expenses &#8211; I had stopped using the little brown notebook then. Realizing the power of my smartphone, I browsed the Google Play Store for a financial tracker of sorts and came across Money Lover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is Money Lover?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/f.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/25174313\/Imported_Blog_Media\/what-is-money-lover.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25065\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/what-is-money-lover.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What is money lover?\" ><\/a> Source: MoneyLover.me<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Money Lover is, at its core, an expense tracking app. You can setup several \u2018Wallets\u2019 in the app and add transactions (as an expense or income) to each of the wallet at any time, which can also be automated, ideal for monthly bills. In addition to that, there are many other built-in features that are handy, such as a calculator, foreign currency exchange rates, ability to scan receipts, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more accurate tracking of your expenses (and as a paid subscription service), Money Lover can also be connected to certain banks and services in Malaysia, such as CIMB, Maybank, Public Bank, RHB, AmBank, Bank Islam, and Hong Leong bank, as well as Paypal. They recently added crypto-currency to its list of linked services too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that Money Lover is free app, but with limitations. You will have to pay to upgrade your free account to a premium one to get full access to all its features. With the exception of extra icon packs and bank account integration which requires the subscription service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <strong>free account<\/strong> will only have the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usage of only 2 Wallets, 1 Budget, 1 Saving campaign, and 1 Event (inclusive of budgets, saving campaign, and event you\u2019ve already completed)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-app ads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/f.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/25174313\/Imported_Blog_Media\/Money-Lover-Premium.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25078 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/Money-Lover-Premium-169x300.png?resize=169%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying to upgrade to the <strong>Premium version<\/strong> as a one time payment&nbsp;(I paid RM3.90 back in 2015, currently it is going for<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.3rem;\">RM29.99 at 50% off) will give you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlimited number of Wallets, Budgets, Savings, and Events<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ad-free experience<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Premium support from the Money Lover team<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ability to export transactions to Excel or CSV format<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work and sync across devices and platforms.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehero.my\/blog\/comparehero-my-2017-mobile-banking-apps-awards-winners-announced\">CompareHero.my 2017 Banking Apps Awards Winners<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Using Money Lover for the past 3 years<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I first started out using Money Lover with a single Wallet in the app, tracking whatever cash I had in my real physical wallet at that time. Finding the entire app very useful and intuitive, I soon began wanting to use the app more comprehensively; I paid for the premium version and started using more Wallets to track my accounts, setting up budgets for my hobbies, food, and even my travel expenditure to Tokyo in Japanese Yen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the Money Lover app is actually a very simple experience, though the other features such as having renewing budgets and travel mode come with a small learning curve to fully utilize it. To funnel down the long list of features so it is easy to understand what it can do, I\u2019ve laid down what I use Money Lover for below!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Money Lover Features I use<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tracking my transactions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/f.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/25174313\/Imported_Blog_Media\/Transaction.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25067 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/Transaction-150x300.png?resize=150%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It goes without saying that the main reason everyone uses a finance tracking app is to keep track of their transactions on a day to day basis. I track <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every single transaction<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that I make, be it from the cash in hand or that in the bank accounts. The transactions are tracked by choosing categories, such as food or shopping, but they aren\u2019t just limited to expenses &#8211; income is also present, such as the salary category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A transaction feature I find really nifty in the app is that it is possible to transfer money from one Wallet to another, making it useful to track actions such as funds transfer or ATM withdrawals &#8211; it even includes a \u201ctransaction fee\u201d option when transferring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Overview of my expenses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/f.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/25174313\/Imported_Blog_Media\/Transaction-overview.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25069\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/Transaction-overview-170x300.jpg?resize=170%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"300\"><\/a> Source: MoneyLover<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At any time, I can access an overview of my transactions of my wallets at different time intervals.

I added in my holiday trip with the Events feature (creatively named \u201cTokyo Trip\u201d) and set the end date. What the Events feature does is that it groups all your spending (of any Wallets) under one Event, making it easy to look back at related transactions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Event created, every transaction I made in preparation for the trip, such as buying winter clothes, I would tag it under the \u201cTokyo Trip\u201d Event. While I was in Tokyo, I turned on \u201cTravel Mode\u201d so that every transaction I made would be automatically be tied to \u201cTokyo Trip\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really like this feature as it gives me a clear overview of how much I\u2019ve spent on my trip (it\u2019s well under the budget, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">phew<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and it helps to see where exactly I might have spent a little more than needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Transferring between currencies among my wallets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For that very same \u201cTokyo Trip\u201d, I created another Wallet in Japanese Yen so that I could accurately transfer money to it from another Wallet. The Money Lover app can update internally on the latest currency exchange rates so that when I transferred from Malaysian Ringgit to Japanese Yen, it automatically converted it for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that the currency exchange rates in the app are just an estimation based on international rates worldwide and it will be different depending on where you did the exchange. In my case, I had to make some slight adjustments upwards because the money changer had a slightly higher rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Setting my monthly budgets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/f.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/25174313\/Imported_Blog_Media\/money-lover-budget.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25071 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/money-lover-budget.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" ><\/a> Source: MoneyLover<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For each Wallet I have, I have set up monthly budgets to keep my spending in check.

A little nifty feature in Money Lover is that I can set up recurring bills that are due every month and it will remind me when the due date is near or when I\u2019ve forgotten about it. In the Bills tab, the total sum of my bills of the month is shown, giving me an overview of how much I should set aside that month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Should you use Money Lover?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, Money Lover is simple to use and the many other features it has serve only to enhance just about everyone\u2019s management of their finances.
