BUILT BY TRAVELLERS
We are Simon Fairbairn and Erin McNeaney of Never Ending Voyage, a couple who've been travelling full time since March 2010. Managing our finances is what has enabled us to have so many wonderful experiences but, after 3 years on the road, we needed something better than scribbled notes, loose receipts, and complicated spreadsheets to track our expenses.
So we built Trail Wallet.
Nobody wants to worry about money while travelling, but we all do. Tracking your finances is a simple way to get some freedom from this financial anxiety.
Instead of just hoping you’ve got enough money, know.
QUICK AND SIMPLE
Road tested by tens of thousands of travellers, the app is simple, clear and easy to use.
Organise your expenses by trip or by month, set yourself a daily budget, then easily add expenses as you go. When you get a bill or receipt, launch the app, add the amount using the Quick Add screen and you’re done. Forget about it. Get on with your day.
No more collecting receipts in bags or pockets. No more sitting with a calculator trying to work out how you’re doing. No more trying to remember how much that tuk-tuk cost.
At the end of the day or week or month or trip, you can see how you’re doing. A little over budget? No problem—our app will tell you what’s eating up your cash. Under budget? Good job—send a little reassurance to your friends and family using your favourite social media platform.

What's New
Version 3.4.3
- Fixes an issue with the date spreader possibly not including the first date
- Fixes a startup crash issue that a small number of users were experiencing
- Updates for GDPR compliance
** 3.4 Release Notes **
I am pleased to announce: PHOTO SUPPORT!
[celebration emoji] [big smiling face emoji] [exhausted relief emoji]
- Images are attached to individual amounts (one image per amount)
- You can import images from your photo library or take new photos with the camera
- Tapping on an image on the Add Amount screen will show you a full size version
- Images are backed up to iCloud with the rest of your data
- You can export all of your images at once from the Share screen using any supported method (messages, email, AirDrop, save to library, print, etc.)
- Exported CSV files have a reference to the image filename so you can match up the photos in your spreadsheets
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
- Tapping on a bar chart now shows you a complete summary of that day's data
- New Caledonia currency added
- Spreading amounts support has been much improved—if your trip has a fixed end date, it won't let you spread an amount past the last day
- Add Amount screen won't let you save if you haven't entered an amount (this one's for me: sometimes I get so caught up entering the metadata, I forget to add the actual amount itself)
- Drag and Drop support for reordering categories and trips (iOS 11 only)
- Tons of other bug fixes and small enhancements
Because the new photo system uses iCloud to store photos alongside your amount data. I've tried to choose a photo resolution that balances low file sizes with enough definition for you to read those receipts in the future. I'm trying not to burn through your iCloud allowance but let me know if you feel I haven't got the file size/resolution balance right!
If you are having any issues with the app or if there's a feature you'd like to see, please contact me directly at simon@voyagetravelapps.com so I can assist you.
Thanks!

Ratings and Reviews
New favorite App!
Jpinob
I'm pretty good at budgeting during trips... it's day to day life that I falter. I wanted an app to track my daily extravagances on coffee shops and happy hours and pizza deliveries when I should be cooking good old fashioned meals at home. All the expense trackers I searched were way too inclusive and had such boring interfaces. THIS ONE, however, was instantly fun and happy and didn't try to monitor every household expenditure. It was super easy to figure out, as well as to modify categories to suit exactly what I was looking for. I created a "Trip" titled "Life - October", input start and end dates, adjusted my category headings, and diligently recorded every time I ate out or got groceries. When I used up the first 25 free entries, I gladly paid for the unlimited upgrade. And at the end of the month, I now have a lovely pie chart that tells me that I spend as much on happy hours w/friends as I do on monthly groceries. I think I'll have to work on that... "Life - November" is currently in progress, and I have a feeling this pie chart will look more balanced when it's done. Also, I can't wait to use it on my next real trip!!!
No hassle travel or daily expenses

I needed something to track expenses for my six month adventure in South America. It had to be simple enough to enter all little things throughout the day. At the same time it had to have features to categorize expenses and good interface to visualize everything. I tried a few apps and found this app to be the winner. It’s super simple to add expenses and gives me all that I need to track my budget. I got used to the app so much, I kept using it for my daily expenses after my travel. I have a nice little breakdown of all expenses at the end of the year.
The only feature I wish the app had was the ability to copy an old expense item and add it to a new date. Would make the recurring monthly expense tracking so much faster. Thanks guys!

What we've been waiting for

This app is just what travelers needed! It's so easy to use, love the simple interface and the display of your data (and being able to export and backup). Great way to keep track of your finances when traveling (with categorization and comparison to budget)! It's got a few settings you can adjust, which is nice (categories, currencies, etc.).
What would take this app to the next level is allowing users to share a trip, since some people share/split costs and being able to indicate that on certain expenses would be great.
Great work on the development of this app! Thank you.
