Quick Snowball LE (v. 1.1.0) Разработано Entropy Specialists |
Track your Debt Snowball - this app allows you to enter and track your debts - and calculates balances and payoff dates based on the Debt Snowball method (pay the minimums on everything, and attack smallest debt first), as recommended by financial counselors such as Dave Ramsey.
This IS a very basic app - written in response to the fact that when we started the Dave Ramsey plan in March 2010, there was no simple free app available that could do exactly the bit of functionality I needed.
Basic Instructions:
1. Add your debts, including minimum payments, APR, original (for payoff display) and current amounts.
2. The app will display your debts in a list from SMALLEST to LARGEST. This is the 'debt snowball' - yes it is not mathematically optimal, but for many people is better psychologically.
3. In 'settings', set the 'Extra' monthly amount you expect to be able to apply to debt.
4. Pay the MINIMUM only on ALL debts except the top one on the list. Any extra disposable income should be applied to the SMALLEST debt to get it paid off.
5. The app calculates your payoff dates based on your 'Extra' monthly payment, so you can easily change your 'Extra' payment to see how taking a 500/month part time job can accelerate your overall payoff time. If you leave "Extra" = 0, then you are essentially planning to make minimum payments ONLY.
6. The first time you open the app each month, it will re-calculate (based on APR, minimum payments, and applying the amount you have saved as 'Extra' towards the smallest debt) what your current balances for all debts should be. If you pay more than the minimum on some debts, or the 'Extra' amount is not correct, you can also manually adjust those balances - but if the data is all correct, the new balances should all auto-calculate properly at the beginning of each month.

[2013-07-09] A Google User: Doesn't do anything I'm not sure what this app does. I know what it should do but it gives useless information. |
|
[2013-06-17] A Google User: Eh.. It doesn't tell you anything really. Basically bar graphs showing what you have already paid. |
|
[2013-05-06] A Google User: What's the point Just lists my debts, I just entered. Already knew that. |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: Calculator? Does nothing but tally the total. |
|
[2013-03-06] A Google User: Love it! Ok, it's not Dave Ramsey's debt snowball, but it is just as good as a reminder for you to stay in check with your debt. I think it's awesome! |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: What does it really do? Either I can't tell or this app actually does nothing but create a bar showing what percentage you have paid off. Which you probably already know. Uninstalled. |
|
[2012-12-16] A Google User: Go Dave ! Just was I was looking for, hope to see more work into it for better graphics and easier use. Thanks |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: Good app Works good |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Its ok Its a good general tool, but it doesn't accept decimals so you have to update it manually every few months. Its great to get an attack plan; not worth keeping long term. |
|
[2012-06-29] A Google User: Lame |
|
[2012-04-28] A Google User: Crashed my first use! Absolutely horrible! I entered in some debts and then it crashed and lost Al but one. |
|
[2012-04-05] A Google User: Force closes Latest update did not, evidently, fix the force-close issue. Neat little app...wish it still worked. :( |

|
[2012-01-11] A Google User: I like it but! It keeps foreclosing! Motorola Xoom! |
|
[2012-01-09] A Google User: Not bad. Mine is keeping its memory. Glad I'm down to just four sets including my home. But.... Is all it does is show me my current debts, and that's it? Need a small readme. |
|
[2011-12-27] A Google User: Disappointed The creator meant well but when you spend time entering data and it disappears, it's worse than dealing with the debt itself. Maybe an update? For now I am deleting. |
|
[2011-11-23] A Google User: Uh oh... please fix...won't let me open it. I use the snowball faithfully. Please fix! I don't want to lose my data. |
