Search for an app to help you spend, save and track your cash and you’ll find there are literally thousands on the market. So how do you know which ones are worthwhile – and trustworthy?
Victoria Devine is a financial planner, the creator of personal finance podcast She’s On The Money, and an app connoisseur who has road-tested every app in the Top 20 budgeting apps in The App Store.

Apps like Cashrewards and ShopBack give you money back when you make a purchase online with a partner retailer. Woolworths, David Jones, Apple, Myer, booking.com and ASOS are among the brands that offer a discount when you purchase through the apps.
