New app date on input

Love the new app - just what we wanted. Now for reminders in the app and currency conversion when inputting into an account!

However, question is: why does the new app use the date (1 day earlier) when inputting a transaction. E.g if I input a transaction today 13th July , the app inputs it for the 12th. My iPhone is correct and it also does it on my iPad

Thanks

Chris

   Hi Chris,

   I believe the app defaults to using the last entered date when creating a new transaction, in case the user is entering multiple transactions from a previous day. So if your last entered transaction was yesterday, that would be why it's using that date.

   As well, the other functionality is being worked on for a future version.

   Please let us know if we can be of further assistance!

   As some feedback I have set this up via dropbox, to 2 Iphones and in general the system is working, continue to test it.

   I like Chris can see areas for improvements/features, some that come to mind compared with HandyBank on android:-

   1 The date is stuck at the last transaction, can be a problem with new enrties to forget, can this be changed, say roll over to present date at midnight
   2 As a mobile app then mixed currancies can be an issue, on Handybank I eventually managed to realise and make work entering another currancy eg USD into a GBP account, so an exchange rate is synced with the PC main application.
   3 Budgets, in Handeybank allow a simple totalisation feature that can be useful on a trip, showing say an expense to date.

   HOWEVER, we all have waited for this app, whilst this release is basic in features what is key is RELIABILITY, without that as a mobile app away from the main computer it is worthless, so while I and others ask for more features, I hope the developers do not lose sight of reliability first

   Regards
