Anybody recommend a good app for dealing with money (incomings, outgoing, bills, budgeting etc.).

Cheers

I just use google docs (spreadsheet) for this

*edit*

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned them but IMO two must haves are:

TV Show Stream
Movie Stream

exactly as the names imply they let you stream TV Shows and Movies directly to your phone so if you are stuck waiting somewhere you have something to do.

I watched avatar on mine the other day while waiting for my wife to finish at the hospital

It is called Wife v1 but you have to make sure your money goes straight in the bank and you never see it, ever.

Wife 1.0 does take time to train but if all fails there is Wife 2.0.

True but unfortunately the upgrade to Wife 2.0 erases all previous training so it must be retrained from scratch

There's always the shareware version of Mistress 1.0, it's a bit buggy, but it serves the purpose

Won't Google Music eat through a 500MB allowance within 4 or 5 albums rendering it pretty useless without Wifi?

They got pulled from the market. Any links or apk's?

Given that I probably listen to an album a day, 30 x 100MB = 3GB

3GB @ £5 per 500MB = £30

So £30 a month for Google Music, err no thanks

Who do you have that with and how much do you pay for it just out of interest?

Giffgaff will give you unlimited internet for £10pm

Works great with Google Music

weringo · 4 Jun 2011 at 17:55

There's a reason it's unlimited, even with the net on 24 hours a day it'd struggle to break 1GB in a month with the speeds you get on the O2 network

If my Mistress 1.0 had bugs, I'd bloody well uninstall it.

It a degraded o2 network, and apparently it's a bit temperamental.

T-mobile, £25 a month, 600 mins, unlimited texts, 3GB data allowance.

And on the subject of Music Beta, it's freaking awesome... can't wait to get home and set it up on my PC where all my music actually is!
