Dollarbird
Dollarbird isn't a dedicated expense tracker app and doesn't generate expense reports. Instead it focuses on helping you figure out where your money is going so you can quickly cut down on expenses. The thing I love about Dollarbird is the itemized expense view that lets you see exactly what percent of your income is going to what expenses. This makes it easy to pinpoint problem categories and quickly remedy any issues. While Dollarbird could pass as a budget app, it works much better at determining problem expenses in my experience.
If you don't need to generate expense reports but really need to get a handle on cutting down on personal expenses, Dollarbird is for you.
