Digital Budget Planner Used

BOSS Personal Planners has a lot of various physical and digital planners available, but I chose their budget planner! I chose this one because it is unlike anything I offer here at ElizabethJournals and it is a planner type that I have always wanted to be more proficient at using. Perhaps having a digital version would make it possible!

First Impressions: BOSS Planner Digital Budget Planner

My first impressions scrolling through the planner were positive! I loved the functional tabs and did not find it too difficult to navigate at all. The planner was pretty self-explanatory and had some really neat sections that I would not have thought of on my own. I was testing the planner on my phone and laptop since I do not have a tablet. This posed a challenge, but the planner was completely usable on both devices!

Pros & Cons

Next, lets talk pros and cons!

The Positives

  • Easy to use
  • Functional on multiple PDF Readers
  • Android and Apple compatible
  • Detailed
  • Functional on a laptop
  • Functional on a phone
  • Love the wishlist

The Negatives

  • Tablet would be ideal
  • PDF Readers can be difficult for first-time users

Final Thoughts: Digital Budget Planner

After playing around on the digital budget planner for a while, I realized that typing function was challenging to use with my touch screen laptop. Perhaps a mouse and some practice would have helped. It could also be the specific PDF reader at fault. That is why I did not vote this in 'the negatives' above; however, it is something to keep in mind. The typing function was far easier when I used my phone. The planner is more challenging to use on the smaller phone screen, but zooming in made it doable. I would definitely recommend you use your laptop or a tablet if you have access to one. Overall, I loved the Budget planner and the concept of a digital planner! I wish I were more consistent in using one; it would be super beneficial!

While I still prefer writing on paper, a digital budget planner would be an excellent solution for anyone who does not want to carry around a notebook in addition to the devices they already carry around!! I highly recommend the BOSS Budget Planner!
