Custom iPhone Solutions

I’ve gotten the question where did red withdrawals from several users so I thought I’d explain the reasoning behind removing them.

The reasoning withdrawals are black and deposits green is that items displayed in red are meant to be warnings to the user that something is going wrong. When you exceed your budget amount the bar is red. Whenever your account is over the limit or falls below the minimum balance the running balance and overall balance is displayed in red. Red is used sparingly, and as a warning. If you see red then something needs correcting.

I picked green for deposits because users typically have fewer deposits than withdrawals so the green does stick out among the black withdrawals if you are scrolling your transaction log looking for deposits.

PocketMoney for Desktops (OS X and Windows) is coming along. The holidays delayed work on it. I’m hoping to have it ready by the end of January.  I will be releasing a version 3.1 of PocketMoney to support the syncing features.

I’ve managed to upload 3.0.1 of PocketMoney to Apple tonight. Now it’s a 7-14 day wait for Apple to review it.

Here is the full bug fix and additions list:

• Speed – Launch speed and navigation speed to transaction register and edit transaction screens improved.
• Fixed bug: Pie Chart is active for category, payee, class account report from transaction register
• Fixed bug: Reports and Budgets – fixed date period bugs so 31st of months are included correctly
• Themes/UI add on expanded to include options for: Red Withdrawals, Black Deposits, Short Row Heights, Checkbox/Binder Ring
• Fixed bug: Can’t select yearly budget
• Added Available Funds balance type (was the old Available Balance) to go along with Available Credit
• Reports keep the last used Report Period unless no transactions are found then it switches to All.
• Fixed bug: Date chooser – in 6 week month the last week allowed clicks to fall through to toolbar buttons
• Fixed bugs: Exporting CSV, TDF, QIF files
• Fixed bug: Importing of QIF files
• Fixed bug: Exported files now remove spaces in names which causes web browser in Windows to not be able to download the files.
• Fixed bug: Rrestore from desktop using web browser restores prefs and sql file correctly
• Fixed bug: Amounts not saving correctly (as 0) – mainly CHF currencies, but others as well.
• Fixed bug: Cancel was saving.
• Fixed bug: Balance not displaying Yearly time period
• Fixed bug: Korean currency symbol not displaying
• Fixed bug: If drill down into a report item, then go back, the filter isn’t restored.
• Fixed bug: transferring money between accounts of different currencies duplicates part of transfer
• Fixed bug: “New Transactions use last save date” is ON now uses the current time and last saved date.
• Fixed bug: Charts had large memory leaks which could result in slow downs and random crashes.
• Speed – payee autocomplete changes to make it faster
• Second line of transaction register rows resize down to 9 point font to fit more data if available.
• Fixed bug: Email exports set the last sync time so that Recent Changes will work with Email backups. (Note: using the web browser to back up does not set the last sync times since I’m not notified if the file was uploaded successfully)
• Fixed bug: import of -34.00 or -$35.23 in tdf and csv files
• Fixed bug: Long account name is cut off by exchange rate box
• Import support for Ultrasoft Money Transaction Data.csv files. Rename file with a .ultrasoftCSV extension and then import like a regular .csv file
• Localization: Added Korean
• Localization: Japanese updates

Here are the list of bugs and gripes that I’m hearing the most of between 2.4.1 and 3.0. I’ll update the post to include that status of the issue, and plan on getting most of these fixed for a 3.0.1 submission to Apple tomorrow.

1. Budget view by Year isn’t working. (fixed for 3.0.1)

2. CHF currency not saving the Amounts. Temporary workaround is to enter the transaction amount on the “Exchange Rate Screen” (even if no currency conversion is needed). (fixed for 3.0.1)

3. Slowness when launching. (fixed for 3.0.1)

4. Restore checkboxes instead of using binder rings.(fixed for 3.0.1 — added as part of themes)

5. QIF files not importing. (fixed for 3.0.1) (Work around is to go into PM Prefs > Managed Lists > Add new items to lists set to OFF, and import the QIF file)

6. Red for withdrawal amounts and Black for deposits.(fixed for 3.0.1 — added as part of themes)

7. CSV files not exporting or emailing. (fixed for 3.0.1)

8. The Google Pie Chart has been replaced with the new in app Pie chart and was not supposed to be part of the Summary Charts package for Net Worth, Cash Flow and Account wide Pie and Bar chart reports, but still be part of the base PocketMoney package. (fixed in 3.0.1)

9. Budget expenses not appearing  on the 31st of the month for  monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and half-year periods. (fixed for 3.0.1)

10. Shorter rows so  more data fits on the screen.(fixed for 3.0.1 — added as part of themes)

When I click the buy button for an In-App Purchase and input password, the system shows this window message.

This has to do with a jailbroken iPhone w/ AppSync installed.

Workaround:

1. Backup Pocketmoney with SyncDocs.
2. Uninstall Pocketmoney and AppSync.
3. Reboot iPhone.
4. Reinstall Pocketmoney fom appstore.
5. Make in App purchases.
6. Restore backup.
7. Reinstall AppSync.
