Expenses OK has been quietly doing its job since 2014, and a late-2024 update shows Mobion OOO still has skin in the game. At 16 MB it installs in seconds, and the pitch is speed above all else - log a purchase fast, see where money went, move on. The feature set covers the basics plus a few genuinely useful extras like subcategories and Face ID entry. It won't replace a full budgeting suite, but for friction-free daily logging it earns its 4.76 store rating.

Speed and Daily Use

The home screen widget is the app's strongest selling point in practice. You can record a spend without ever opening the app, which removes the main reason people abandon expense trackers after three days. Subcategories add enough structure for users who want to split, say, groceries from restaurant meals under a single Food parent. The pie diagram gives an immediate visual snapshot without requiring any report-building.

Data and Security

Face ID and Touch ID support means sensitive spending data stays behind biometrics, a sensible inclusion. CSV export and manual backups give you an escape route from the app's own ecosystem, which matters for a tool you might rely on for years. Sync is listed as a feature, though the scope of that sync, whether it is cross-device or simply cloud backup, is not detailed in available facts.

Who Should Consider It

This app suits someone who wants a lightweight, low-commitment log of daily outgoings rather than a full budgeting or forecasting tool. The small install size and fast entry flow make it realistic for casual users. Power users who need bank connections, bill reminders, or multi-currency handling will likely outgrow it quickly. The free entry point with possible in-app purchases means the cost ceiling is unclear before you commit.

Pros

  • Home screen widget makes one-tap logging genuinely fast
  • Subcategories add useful structure without cluttering the interface
  • Face ID and Touch ID protect financial data with minimal friction
  • CSV export and backups keep your data portable
  • Tiny 16 MB footprint with a decade-long update track record

Cons

  • In-app purchase scope is not transparent upfront
  • Sync details are vague - cross-device capability is unclear
  • No mention of bank or card connections for automatic entry
  • Pie chart alone is a limited reporting toolkit for serious analysis
  • No multi-currency or budgeting target features evident
