Can anyone recommend a good expense tracker for ios?

Nothing fancy, i just need a good app where i can record a handful of daily incomes and expenses and see how much i've spent / saved in a week / month / year

Searching directly in the app store has resulted in lots of freemium / ad-infested apps which i'd like to steer clear from.

(Finally something I can almost answer!)
So, I don't have an app, but I use this, and it's amazing. Takes around 30-45 minutes to set up.
Yes, Pipedbot, that is a YouTube link. Proceed with your public shaming.
a graphical chart you can link to the original spreadsheet and have emailed to yourself monthly
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  but I use this
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
  
  You shame me, Ms. Bot. You shame me.
- I was asking for a toothpick but you gave me the whole swiss army knife! Thank you though. I'm a huge excel fan (was almost addicted at one point) but right now I'm just looking for a simple app to track a few petty allowances and this seems a little sophisticated.
  but I think I'll definitely hold on to this for the future. Ultimately, spreadsheets seem infinitely better at budgeting than any apps out there.

This is the one that I use. Free, feature complete, no ads. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good expense tracker.
- played around with this for five minutes and it's pretty much exactly what i was looking for.
  thank you!
Use Apple's Numbers. Set up a small spreadsheet with autofill date, expense, note field. Sync it with iCloud and you can just open it on desktop as well.
I use Rocket Money since it has all the features i need for free. It lets me sync all my credit cards and banks and see where my money goes in different groups or individually and it lets me set budgets for specific stuff like groceries or tech and warns me if I get close to the budget for the month

On ios I use Transactions:

Super simple checkbook/expense app but it doesn’t have a reporting feature. No ads. Does do backups in JSON though.
MoneyStats, altho its more comprehensive than that
