I personally only need the ability to add transactions and see a balance.
It can be very hard when I'm away from home for a few days having to
remember everything...

However, I would prefer that it wasn't actually integrated with Dropbox. I
personally use Ubuntu One, and these apps take care of syncing files, just
save or open the file from your filesystem and the Dropbox/Ubuntu One will
do the rest already
