There is an bug in 3.0.6 of PocketMoney that many users will experience. It’s my fault for rushing to get the fix for the keyboard released for iOS 4.0 and one of the features I added at the last minute was sufficiently tested.
If you are entering the payee to autocomplete a transaction, and PocketMoney finds a transaction that matches the payee in a different account than your current, it will pull the info into the new transaction like always, but the transaction that it matched will have it’s account changed to your current account too. This will cause both your account balances to become screwed up.
There are two workarounds to this until I get 3.0.7 out.
1). Enter the transaction. Then go back to the transaction that got moved to your current account and move it back to the original account. This can be bothersome if the transaction it matches happened long ago or if you don’t know what account it came from.
2) Probably the better solution is to create a new transaction and modify the category field first. This will cause PocketMoney not to try to do a transaction lookup and then you can enter enter the To/From and the amount.
3) If you duplicate a transaction and then modify the duplicated transaction it will also not try to do the transaction lookup.
I’ll have this bug fixed in 3.0.7 and I will also have 3.0.7 backwards compatible to iOS 3.1.3 so that original iPhone and iPod Touch first generation users can continue to use PM.

When opening 3.0.6 with OS4 it briefly flashes the last screen that was open before going to the password screen. This should be fixed back to the way it previously operated.
it would require turning off of multitasking, but I’ll implement a fix so that this works correctly with multitasking in the next release.
Hey, is there any way to restore the accounts that have got thus screwed up? I am in a little bit of sa soup actually, now.
Nothing automatically. It’s a hunt and seek issue to move the transactions back. If you have a backup then you could restore from backup maybe, but it will depend on how many transactions got moved between accounts.
Hi There,
I am still running 3.05 and have neither been notified by Apple of 3.06 or 3.07. Am I missing something?

Karl,
Does your AppStore icon have a red badge with a number in it? Try opening the AppStore app on your iPhone and tapping the updates tab to see what you have for updates available.
Is your phone jailbroken? (I’m not sure if that would affect it or not).
