Money 4.0.3 has recently become available on the AppStore, and here is the list of changes that users could have noticed. As usual, I would like to encourage you to follow me on twitter because I check it and try to answer as soon as possible to each tweet that mentions @iBearSoft. Twitter is a good way to stay in touch and be updated, so all twitter users: you are welcome to subscribe and ask me quick questions. For longer questions please use our forums.
Many of you could notice that there appeared 2 new transactions in your lists, which you did not add. Those are Opening Balance and Balance adjustment. What are those, what are they meant for, and why have they appeared?
In fact, those transactions have always been in the application, but we did not show them. After introducing iBearMoney QI (currently tested by iBearMoney users), we’ve decided to show them.
Opening Balance is your initial amount, which you add to your account when you start using the application. For example, you start using iBearMoney in April 2010, but by April 2010 you have already had other transactions, and you already have some money on your account. So you need to add money to you account to show how much you have there. Now we show this act as Opening Balance.
Opening Balance and Balance Adjustment
Similar event occurs with Balance Adjustment. Sometimes you recognize that you have not recorded all your transactions, and that the amount on your account is different from your actual amount. So instead of adding the transactions that you don’t remember, you simply Edit the account. Now we show this event as a new transaction Balance Adjustment. It has always been in the application as well, but was hidden. Now you can see it.
You are welcome to ask questions about these features in the forums.
Another new feature is easy Free to Paid data transfer. Now users of iBearMoney Free version can move their data to the paid version by tapping only one button. This feature will only become available when the Free version is approved by the AppStore (should happen soon because we’ve already submitted it for review).
iBearMoney QI
And we’ve added a better desktop (iBearMoney QI) integration, and started testing QI with those users who wanted to test it and inquired about it in the forum. Now we are collecting feedback in this thread. iBearMoney users! I expect more feedback from you.
If you are still using iBearMoney Free, I recommend you to buy iBearMoney today because as you may have noticed, those days we are keeping it at a lower price than its regular price. And I also believe that buying iBearMoney today will be one of your most beneficial decisions, which will have a lot of positive effects on your personal finance management.
The last, but not the least: if you like iBearMoney, please help other people learn about it. I encourage you to leave a review on the AppStore stating what you think; or if you have already written a review, please make sure to update it. The more positive reviews we have, the easier it is to introduce the application to other people.
