Hello Expense is improving

I have been adding a few features to Hello Expense since my last post. A few notable ones are the calculator, segment by date, and negative entry that many users have requested. I personally also needed these feature so I implement them ahead of others. A couple of users actually sent me very detail analysis and requirements of a professional business expense tracker app that does not exist in today's Android Market. All of them make sense. But because I only work on the app on weekends and late nights, it will take me a while to get there.

A couple things that I am considering to do are mileage, multi-currency, and multi-account support, and add some graphs. I have to decide which ones to work on first, and how they affect the UI layout and flow. It is challenging to add features while maintaining good usability.

Hello Note!

I created my second app for scribbling notes without using keyboard. I personally don't like to type using keyboard because I am slow and I can't draw pictures. So with this little I can now jot down notes in any language using my finger. The note is draggable too.

A few screenshots of the app:

New features: Auto suggestion memo and Export via Email

New features in v1.3 and 1.4!! In v1.3 I added memo auto suggest feature which suggest memo you previously entered while you type. This helps saving a lot of typing. You can also purge all memo auto suggest words as you wish by going to the Settings page.



In v1.4 I added the Export via Email feature. Now you don't have to find the USB cable to access the exported file. You can simply export expenses by sending email to yourself!

Localized Hello Expense

There are quite many Android users outside the US and many have suggested me to provide options to change the currency and date format. I quickly put together a settings page for that and hope it didn't introduce more bugs :) Release early, release often!
