ANYBODY USING Quicken type personal banking apps

I'm looking for an APP, one like Quicken, to use on my IPAD (iOS)  to help me record my personal spending.  I DON'T WANT IT LINKED TO MY BANK ACCOUNT......I will add my BALANCE AND DEPOSITS.  Lastly (and more important) I would really like to keep better track of my bills, so that at any time I can (for example) see how much I spend for my car costs,  groceries or my church offering.  I know there are FREE APPS out there, and I know there are subscriptions....like Quicken, which runs about $70 a year.  Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.  THANK YOU

I use Quicken on my PC and have done so for years.  You do have to set up your own chart of accounts, which is actually handy since a canned program won't do exactly what you wish.

@Gerri S Do you know how to build a spread sheet? If so, you could leave out the third party since you are going to be entering the information yourself.

@Gerri S, what about the Numbers app that is already in IOS? There might be something there that would work. They compare it to Excel. I've never used either but the Numbers might have something that would work for what you want.

Thanks to @Gerri S I just checked my Numbers and yes they have what your looking for I believe.  When you open it on the the left side choose personal finances.  Good luck

Been using Quicken for many years and it works quite well. I do have it linked to my brokerage account but not to my bank account. Works just fine and its easy to use.
