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.

Get this app if you’re serious about travel budgeting

This travel budget app is great! We have been using it for 10 months as we travel the world. It is flexible enough to record all of our transactions in multiple currencies and allows us to tag the different countries. We tried four other apps before finding this one and it is by far the best. It is well worth the $5 to keep track of your spending. We have recommended it to everyone - only problem is it is for iPhone only!


Essential app for budgeting
CarmResu

I’ve been using trail wallet for the past 4 years. It’s been so helpful for budgeting and keeping track of our expenses while traveling. Love being able to switch between currencies, export data, and create my own categories. I’m also a fan of the characters that provide commentary on my spending habits. Thanks Simon!


Trail Wallet App Rocks!
DaRock88

I’m new to transportation and wanted an easy, convenient way to track my expenses; found this app to suit my needs just fine! Easy to access all the apps tools to track my trips , money spent, money earned and also useful to save money! It’s also very accurate with calculating expenses via the pie chart graph! Love this Trail Wallet App and would definitely recommend it to transport professionals, newbies and OGs!


Gets it done, not over-complicated

Easy utility. Great tracker that doesn’t try to be a comprehensive financial manager.


Performs as advertised - No more no less!

Alas! Where have you been hiding?! Found this app accidentally in the middle of a trip that required the use of 3 different currencies. What a snap it was to record, convert and total expenses from day to day. I abandoned an app that had many accounting functions that just aren't needed in a travel expense tracking app though the developers were promoting it for travelers. Thanks for building this practical app.


Easy & Convenient

I first used this app to track a long weekend out of town. I wanted to see if it really was as easy as everyone claimed and I found that it truly was easy to use. I then used it on my trip overseas. This was awesome because I had limited funds and I was able to track everything I spent and stay under budget. Not only that, I could select the local currency, enter it, and with one touch of the screen I could see how much it was in US dollars! Love this app so much that I have recommended it to my kids to use to track their monthly expenditures.


Very limited
Rbpamom

The app is very easy to use but VERY basic. I will be driving during my trip and want to track gas costs and car mileage, which is not possible with this app. Not what I was looking for. It also crashed when I tried to enter an end date for my trip.

Great. Easy to use.

I would just ask for one additional feature. A way to keep track of currency on hand. So when I hit an atm I enter the amount take out. Then as I enter expense and mark them as cash it deducts the amount so I always have a quick reference of how much cash I have on hand. Also low cash alerts would be awesome.


Pretty Good

I wish there was a way to actually do the budget by categories. I like to try and budget food, transportation, etc individually and it would be nice if I could do that here. I would totally pay for that option.
