For Android users, I've been using Libra for several years now and enjoy that I can customize the moving average.

I've never used this app first-hand, but it's the one I recommend to users when they ask about an Android version. I didn't know they let you customize the moving average, so I'll have to check that out.

If you wouldn't mind sharing, how do they let you customize it, and what do you enjoy about that?

Under 'Preferences'[1] there is an 'Advanced Preferences'. In Advanced Preferences, there are two relevant settings: Smoothing Days and Forecast days. The differences aren't clearly delineated, so when I first started using Libra (several years ago), I ended up experimenting for several weeks.

The explanation for smoothing days is that it "[controls] how strongly each weight value affects the trend". It takes an positive integer value or 0. The recommended value is 7, but I ended up with 14. With higher values, both the forecast line and average line tend to be less dependent on recent weights and average out over a longer period.

The forecast days "[control] how many days to use for the forecast calculation. It doesn't specify what the acceptable range is, simply that the minimum value is 2 and the recommended value is 7. I ended up with a 14 here also. This value only impacts the forecast line, not the average line.
