PocketMoney 3.0 bugs or major gripes

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

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.

(Thanks to hidefguy in forums for this solution.)

3.0 screen shots of PocketMoney

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Here are a few screen shots with some of the In-App Purchases (IAP) active.

Account Balances screen with the Coffee theme active(IAP) , the Net Worth Summary chart showing (IAP), and Group By Account Type turned on in the Prefs so the section headings show the subtotals for the account types and can be collapsed. Second Balance Line is turned ON in the Prefs > Display Options.

Category Report showing the dual Pie Chart (IAP) left side is the expenses break out and the right side is the income breakdown. The Purple Theme with 16 pt bold font (IAP) is active. Also, Food has been unselected (black binder ring versus yellow when item is selected/checked) and because it is a main category the subcategories of Food:Dining and Food:Groceries have been totaled into the Food category. Also note the new information for the percentage break down in each report row and the number of items that make up each category summary.

Edit Transaction Screen with two receipts attached (IAP), in the Green Theme with the User Font set to 18 pt bold, and the Label Font 18 pt (IAP), and the display of the ID, Memo, Class, and Cleared fields has been turned off in the Prefs > Display Options > Edit Transaction.
