using it I have the following suggestions for your iPhone
app...</p>
<p>For entering a new transaction I select the account. While I can
appreciate having access to viewing past transactions entries...
that is not what I want MD for iPhone to do. It's a vehicle to
enter new transaction foremost. Secondarily it is used to see what
transactions are already entered. With that in mind, when I select
a bank account, why not take me to the transaction entry screen
directly? Having to click again on + to do that isn't as efficient.
Maybe list accounts and have a left-pointing arrow on the left side
of the category list to go to past transactions and a
right-oointing arrow on the right side of the category list names
to go to a new transaction form?</p>
<p>In the new transaction form, when I click the Category button it
brings up a scrolling dial list. But bank accounts appear first!!
Why? If for transfers... for me those occur far more rarely than
category selections. So why not put them at the bottom of the list?
I always have to flip the dial multiple flicks to get down to the
category names. Better than a dial I have to flip, why not provide
a type in field with Auto-fill? That would be faster. Have the list
narrow to fewer choices as typing progresses?</p>
<p>Having a way to do splits right from from the first entry form.
I shouldn't have to go to another click to get to a more detailed
transaction entry form. That's kind of strange in the first place.
I'd prefer you have one form only. Do the full form. Splits should
handle the math of sub-totals... If I enter the first category and
amount for a split, I want the balance to carry forward to the next
category entry. I don't want to have to get a calculator out! And
if multiple items make up a category subtotal on a receipt, have a
way to enter a string of item prices like in Quicken...
23.51+3.97+299 enter should produce that total amount, then carry
the leftover amt to the next split category amount.</p>
<p>Add Auto-fill to the Payee entry in the Description text area.
Right now in v1.3 that text area doesn't work at all (see my bug
report on this in another post.)</p>
<p>Hope this provides valued feedback.</p></div>forumstag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/23087292010-07-20T19:53:47Z2010-07-20T19:53:47ZiPhone App Suggestions<div><p>I have created a ticket for this suggestion. The ticket is

look at how Adobe Lightroom does tagging, or Thinks (the to-do app
that is popular on the Mac).<br>
You should be able to type in a tag list, comma separated, each one
gets entered into the system. When I later use this app and need to
tag a transaction, if I start to type the tag, have it auto-fill
based on the list of "used" tags in the system. I don't like having
to create a list of tags before hand, to get a menu to select from.
I want to tag on the fly.</p></div>forumstag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/23087292010-07-21T17:33:58Z2010-07-21T17:33:58ZiPhone App Suggestions<div><p>I have not been able to reproduce the problem you are
experiencing with the description entry. v1.3 of the mobile app
added auto-fill to this field. can you tell me if reinstalling the
iPhone app resolves the issue.</p>
<p>I recently spoke with the developers about the issue of tag
entry and they tell me that an improved on the fly tag entry
interface is currently under development.</p>
