Send money home? Track it too.

Turn on "Send money home" and IponWise shows your spending in both currencies. Log each padala, see the rate you really got, and follow your monthly target.

Padala is not counted as spending, so your budget stays honest. Don't send money home? Leave it off and you won't see it.

Questions

Good to know

Is IponWise free?

Yes. Everything in the app is free, with no ads and no subscription.

Do I need an account?

No. There's nothing to sign up for. Your data lives in the app on your phone.

Does it need the internet?

No. The only time it goes online is to get today's exchange rate, and only if you turn on "Send money home". That request has no personal data in it.

Which currencies can I use?

PHP, AED, SAR, QAR, KWD, HKD, SGD, TWD, JPY, USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, INR and MXN. The app picks your phone's currency first, and you can change it any time.

Does it connect to my bank?

No. You add expenses yourself, which takes a few taps. Nothing is linked to your bank or cards.

What happens if I change phones?

Go to Me → Your data → Back up, move the file to your new phone, then use Restore there.

What does "IponWise" mean?

"Ipon" (ee-pon) is the Filipino word for saving. IponWise means being wise with your money: know where it goes, so more of it stays with you.

Your money, clear and simple.

IponWise is coming soon to Android and iPhone.
