I am setting up beta testing for version 4.5 starting today. If you would like to participate, please let me know. Beta testing features a lot of improvements, including History, offline notifications, a revised and updated user interface for entering items and various bug fixes. The version is packed with goodies, so if you would like to get your hands on it, use the Contact form above and let me know. As a reward, I will grant you the ability to turn off ads.

Pro Tip and 4.4 Update

Posted Sat, 07/03/2010 - 1:28pm by chitoiur

Pro tip: If you have an expense, such as a check, where you do not know when exactly it will clear, you can set it up as a one time bill sometime later in the future (I usually set them 3-5 days after the date when I think they will clear). Then, as soon as they clear, go to the Forecasting tab, swipe on the row with the expense and tap Paid. That will automatically adjust your balance as well. I found this useful a bunch of times when I receive checks from people.

4.4:
* Fixed a rare issue with the bolding the lowest and highest balances in a given month in the calendar

The App Is Now Free!

Thanks you all so far for your support! As of today, I am removing all limitations - that includes unlimited items, reminders and web access, all for free. In exchange, I am adding Apple's new unobtrusive media-rich iAds. You can of course turn that off through an in-app purchase if you don't want ads. After your purchase, head over to system preferences to turn it off. Those of you who have purchased anything in the past already have that ability. Since this is now the only source of income for this app, I would very much appreciate it if you left ads on.

4.1 and Beta Testing

Web Access beta features: if you would like to participate in the beta for new Web Access features, please contact me using the Contact link on the website. Right now I am testing editing your items on the site.

There is also a Facebook page if you don't like using the RSS to get announcements. It's linked off the website.

As always, please don't forget to rate! I'm working very hard towards making this app really good! Your ratings keep the updates coming.

* Fixed an issue where in some situations, the balance would get stuck at -0.00. Thanks Lenny for pointing that out

Ladies and gentlemen, the mother of all updates!

Note: as you can see, this update is massive. I spent a long time testing it, but I may not have caught some corner cases. If you find a problem, please let me know as soon as you can.

Beta testing for web access: if you are interested in beta testing new bleeding edge features for Web Access, please use the Contact page and let me know. At the moment, the biggest feature is being able to edit your items online.

FAQ

Q. For what is this app useful?
A: A good use of the app is simply keeping track of all of your payments and income and having a good idea how much money you will have after paying each bill. This is especially useful if you are living from paycheck to paycheck.

Full version going away & Migration

Posted Sat, 05/01/2010 - 11:56am by chitoiur

Hi folks,

First, I'd like to thank arcticcajun for bringing the auto-updating balance bug to my attention. That is now fully fixed in the Lite version (not this one).

Tips and tricks

Posted Fri, 04/30/2010 - 7:25pm by chitoiur

Hi all,

I just wanted to share some tips with you about how I organize my finances most efficiently and how Balance Forecasting comes into play. It sounds far fetched, but by using the Auto-Updating Balance feature, I am now in my third week when I did not have to manually update my balance. It’s true! Here’s how I do it.

3.0 and Push Reminders!

Posted Fri, 04/30/2010 - 7:20pm by chitoiur

I am planning to merge the Full version into the Lite version soon (full users will be able to easily migrate). The below features only apply to the Lite version (which will not be named Lite soon).

I noticed that people are buying Reminders, but nobody seems to have activated it yet. Maybe I’m just paranoid, but if you are having any issues, contact me.

Welcome!
