Moneybag - My iOS app in the App Store - 04/27/11 22:41

Soo, some of you might know that I'm a Apple Fanboy in reality (I just wear a Windows camouflage suite when I'm here) and because I'm not only a Apple Fanboy but also a programmer, I love to develop apps for the iPad and iPhone.

Usually just for other people because I believe that becoming rich through the AppStore is just a wet dream, but from time to time I also develop Apps just for me and for fun. This time, I actually finished the App and thought: Hey, its awesome, submit it to the App Store!

So what is it about? Its a finance tracking App designed for iPad and iPhone. Okay, you now might ask: Another one? Yep!
But not just a copy of something existing, because what always bothered me with the other apps (and believe me, I have tons of apps) is that they only work with one currency and one bank account. I mean, wtf?! I have a PayPal account, a bank account and a credit card, why do I need to merge them just for the app?
And I also love to buy stuff from Amazon UK and then I buy something for $10 from some site or so, I mean, why do I have to convert everything?!

Conclusion: There is a need for a App that solves this, I mean, its a magical touchscreen device, it should do the work for me not vice versa! And while ranting about the horrible apps with their crappy UI, I started to make my own, better, finance management App.
The result? Moneybag. A simple, elegant and powerful finance management app.


Here are a few screenshots of the App:

And because I love all of you, I'm giving away 10 promo codes (I have enough of them anyway)

Thanks, I used RAWH4N34XWA6.

Installed it, quite nice I like the interface. I havent installed on my iPad yet, but does the data sync across platforms? Or is the iPad and iPhone handled separately?

edit: I tried leaving a review (in the Canadian appstore), but it doesn't seem to be working. Keep saying I dont own the app.. I'll try again later laugh

The iPad and iPhone version are basically the same, beside the UI stuff. However, every device gets its very own key on a new install that is used to encrypt and decrypt the data so there is a small problem with transferring the data.
Currently there is no way to move one dataset from one device to another or to sync two devices, but I'm working on this. The problem is: I want to get it done right because the data that goes there over the air is a bit too sensitive for a "hacked in ten minutes together" solution.

Yep, thats a known "bug" with promo codes, you have to wat at least 48 hours before you can rate a App that you got via a promo code.

Been using this the past couple days to track me spending.. Working quite nicely.
I have a couple suggestions if you don't mind. laugh
1)While adding a value to a record I think there should be some sort of "OK" button. The back button does exactly this, but it wasn't very intuitive for me. (I originally thought the back button would cancel what I have done.
2)Add a value to the accounts to show the current fund in that account. So If I have 100 in my bank account, I can add that to the account. Any record I add will either add/minus to that.

Any ways liking the app... I really need to cut down on my spending frown

But it doesnt`t work on my iPod Touch 1G because it needs iOS 4. Is there any way to make it work on iOs 3.3? I don`t want to use 4.0 for privacy reasons. Looks like a nice App.

@VPrime: Good points, while I won't change the back buttons text, what about a arrow styled button that shows that it just goes "one screen" back in the hierarchy?

@Rondidon: Not possible, it uses a few 4.0 only classes and while they can be replaced, I also rely heavily on a new C language feature called blocks and some class functions that make use of them which was introduced in iOS 4.0. Sorry.
