Android budgeting apps

So I’m trying to find a decent android application to help me budget and figure out where my cash goes.

Requirements / what I want it to do:
Receipt scanner / photo of item bought
At least the ability to enter in the total for each receipt
Ability to OCR the scanned receipt to scrape information (again, at least the bill)
Ability to tag / categorise spends

So far I have Money Owl:

And also wave receipts

wave has the ability to scan and OCR read the totals from receipts . it does this via the cloud, so it does require a data connection. At present it is FREE for personal use.

Id definitely recommend this app. Most 21st century way of capturing where your money is going. Just what I was looking for!

Apparently, google drive has the ability to ‘scan’ receipts. I have to try this one out!
