We posted an article on the “The Ten Greatest iPad Finance Apps” by Allison Berry on April 29, 2010. Since then we have seen a surge in the number of finance applications for the iPad. Simply clicking on the Finance category under iPad in iTunes results in 234 applications. Here is the (next) list of great iPad finance applications.
CalcMoolator Pro ($9.99)
This the most useful personal finance calculator that I have seen. This development team has pulled together the most useful financial calculators. What I loved most was the ability to play around with different credit card reduction scenarios based on the factors that mattered most to me; did I want to pay off my credit card debt in twelve months or is it more important to me that I pay a fixed low amount each month? There are over thirty-five calculators and because it is web-based the CalcMoolator team is adding more calculators every day.
Beacon ($.99)
Beacon is an ambient stock market information tool. It pulls stock quotes from Yahoo Finance and then gives you a varying color degrees based on whether the market is up or down. My favorite is the soothing yellow glow when the market is calm.
Allowabank ($1.19)
Manage your kids allowance easily from your iPad. This app is an easy and straightforward tool for keeping track of allowance. The only hitch is if you have kids who love the iPad it is a challenge to keep them away from this app and altering the amounts themselves.
Chase (free)
Who knew that I would ever put Chase and like in the same article but I have to say that the Chase iPad app is in my top 5 favorites in terms of usefulness. It isn’t so much that it is Chase. Please insert your own major bank name in place of Chase. In a quest to capture market share of online banking users looking for a new bank Chase has designed a clean interface that makes online banking enjoyable.
Tippster ($.99)
Tippster is just cool. There are many tip apps out there but using Tippster is simply fun to use. The graphic playfulness makes it a usual and pleasurable app.
