Resumen:
The management of personal finances allows planning and controlling the the
income and expenses of the individual. This activity can best be performed with the
help of mobile app. The present research aimed to verify the means used for the
management of personal finances and to describe the functionalities of the mobile
app which can provide a personal finance management used by the researched
public. A printed questionnaire was applied to 111 students of the undergraduate
course in Administration of the Federal University of Campina Grande - Campus
de Sousa, in order to identify those who used the mobile app. Subsequently, a
survey was conducted using online questionnaire with the eight students who use
the mobile app and accepted to participate in the research. As far as the means used
for the management of the personal finances, the majority uses the management by
means of handwritten annotation, followed by the management "just using the
head" (memory). The use of mobile app, in the view of the students, allows a
greater control of personal finances, being possible to update the income and
expenses automatically, with the generation of reports. They also allow
synchronization with the bank account, such as the GuiaBolso app.
