  There are a ton of personal finance apps out there today. The list keeps growing and growing – almost at an alarming rate. I get asked to review apps almost daily from new startups, it's actually kind of scary. I mean, honestly, how many apps do we need?
  Today, I wanted to ask you what are some of your favorite personal finance apps?
  These can be apps for your phone, online apps that you use regularly, or anything tech-related for personal finance. This is pretty broad, but that's okay! Maybe we can all discover new, helpful apps.
  Here's some of my favorite personal finance apps to get us started:
  Personal Capital – I love using Personal Capital to keep financially organized. Their dashboard that let's you connect all your accounts is great, and their portfolio tools work well. I wish there was a little more to their investing tracking and management, but it's the best cloud-based online money management program I've found.
  Quickbooks Online – I have to manage the business finances, and Quickbooks online is great. I love being able to access my accounts from anywhere, and Quickbooks Online allows just that.
  Trov – One of the features that I liked from Quicken was having a home inventory. But since I've pretty much stopped using Quicken and have switched to cloud based services, keeping track of a home inventory is hard. Why bother? Well, insurance is a big one. I live in a wildfire area and things like that do worry me – so I like to be prepared. Anyway, Trov let's you create a home inventory and take pictures in the app. It even tracks values for you. Pretty neat.
  FeeX – I recently wrote about how FeeX helped me save a lot of money in investing expenses. With this nifty app, you connect your online brokerage accounts and it analyzes your investments on fees and performance. If it finds a better fund that matches your current investment, it tells you. Huge money saver here!
  Tell me and the community – what personal finance tools and apps are you using right now?

  Right now one of my favorite apps is StockTwits. I love reading about specific companies and following trends.
  I love StockTwits and have covered it before.
  I really like Digit.
  It connects into my bank account, and sneaks money away on a regular basis. It learns about my balance and spending patterns so it doesn't take too much.
  It's a "text based app" – so it communicates with you through text messaging.
  I've put away enough to buy the new iPhone next month already and I don't even feel it.

  I tried Digit and I'm not sold on it. I don't really like the idea that it moves money into savings for me.
  Maybe I'm too OCD to let the system do it, but it freaks me out.
  I worry that because I use Online Bill Pay it might save for me and then I come up short for my bills.
  We manage multiple businesses. So the price of accounting can be expensive. We like Wave Accounting. Its FREE and you can set up multiple and personnel accounts.
  I used Wave for a long time, but it didn't have all the features I needed. I finally switched to Quickbooks and I've been really happy since.
