Version 1.2

Version 1.2 of the One touch expenser was released a couple of days ago. It contains one exciting feature: Tidbits. You might have noticed that the action bar at the bottom is now gone and might have noticed Board now. Board houses tidbits.

Tidbits can be about anything. If you have not set any budget, it will ask you to set your monthly budget. If there are any one touch transactions whose data has to be filled, it will show it in the board. If there are any reminders in the near future, it will show you.

One of the most useful features of tidbits is showing the transactions for which data has to be filled. Say you were outside and you one touched after you spent. After reaching home, you want to fill the details without waiting for the notification. Now, if you open the app, you can see the tidbit at bottom showing you the one touch transaction. You can directly fill from there. Very convenient!!

If the 4*1 widget stopped updating expenses, please remove and add it again. It is a known issue and will be rectified in the coming release.

Keep providing us feedback. There are very few tidbits which are shown now. But we hope to expand greatly in future and adding personal touch to the app.

You got a reminder!

Exciting features are planned for One touch expenser. And the plan is to release them at break-neck speed. Today on-wards, the app can remind you of the expenses you need to make.

Reminders are one of the most important functions of a mobile device. Phones are the most suitable devices to remind you. In olden days, you had a pager, nowadays, smartphones.

I need to buy groceries while coming back from office, remind me to buy groceries at 6PM.
Need to pay rent every month, remind me at the start of every month to pay 3000 in rent.
Need to pay electricity bill, remind me 1 week before the due date. Since the amount changes every month, let me leave it blank and add it when I pay the bill.

No more overdue bills with reminders in your pocket. If you do not pay, it will compel you to pay!!

Go ahead. Grab the latest 1.1 version. The greatest little personal expenser for android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.blrdroid.expenseapp

One touch expenser hits 1.0 version

We are happy to release 1.0 version of the one touch expenser app. There are lot of improvements in nearly every department.

One of the most exciting features is the support for the repeating expenses. If you have a few expenses which are of repetitive nature, like paying rent every month, or phone bill, etc., you can enter them once and forget. The app will enter those expenses for you every month.

Another improvement is the presence of action bar. Navigation is no more hidden in the menu button but present at the bottom of the phone and enhances the usability of the app.

There are a lot of bug fixes, visual enhancements and subtle improvements which we hope will go a long way in making the app pleasurable to use.

We have only scratched the surface. Exciting things are yet to come. Will be sharing it in this blog.

Keep giving us feedback and show your love by sharing the app and rating it. Thank you all.

Expenser.in. Entering the post-PC era.

We are hard at work to improve One Touch Expenser and have decided to plunge into one of the most hyped subject, the Post-PC era.

iPhone and rise of Android heralded the Post-PC era and now tablets and iPad are fast forwarding us to an era where PC is just one of the many companion devices. Seamless experience between devices will be the key for any software to be useful going forward and that's what we aim to do with our new website Expenser.in.

More details coming soon!!

Budgetting

Budgetting is the new feature which will debut on the one touch expenser app. Budgetting is a nice little feature which will allow you to set overall monthly budget, and budget for individual tags.

Once you set the budget, you can see the total budget, remaining amount spent everything on the homepage for total monthly budget.

In summary section, along with the total amount spent in a Tag criteria, you can also see the budget allocated for the tag and remaining for the tag.

Feedback for the app.

I have been getting feedback for the app from many people. Thought of posting some of them. I'm going to concentrate on the areas of improvement rather than compliments since they are the ones which help in improving the app.

1. Intuitiveness. Though the app looked good, it still is not intuitive enough. Hope to improve intuitiveness as the app matures. If there is one area which calls for complete focus, it is this.
2. Reminders: Can the app remind us daily even though there were no pending transactions recorded through 1 touch or camera? This is an idea if done right, can be very much helpful.
3. Summary page. Small problems with it. I have to confess that summary page was not planned for the first release and was an after thought. Will be significantly improved in the coming versions.

If you have any other let us know. This is the only way to enhance the app for easier use.
