thanks esiravegna.
how do you suggest these accounts can be used.
the only way I can imagine at the moment to keep things simple is to associate each budget category with one account , which can be a current, savings, credit card account. So basically each budget will come from one of these accounts.

This way we can check how much has been spent from each account on various categories. It may not be as useful to some.

For security reasons I dont intend to store the account numbers as such but just identifiers e.g credit card ending 1001 can be represented as cc1001.

any other ideas/suggestions to above from anyone welcome I have a few days at hand free due to the vacations so I can try to develop some quick features or maybe another useful app.

I have some pending suggestions as well from previous posts/emails, if time permits I will try to do them.

Yes, that's how I'd implement accounts. They doesn't necsarely has to be associated with a real life account, but more a way to keep sepparate spending tracking: A bank account, a credit card, savings maybe, etc.

Thanks a lot!

App looks great, and will be very useful to me, however im having a problem where when I enter an expense (first time I did all my monthly expenses) and each time click 'save to db'. When I exit the app and open it again, there are no expenses? Am I doing something wrong?

That's likely because it only really saves the data when you have registered the app.

Everybody,

this is to inform that there is a scenario with buddy where you can end up losing data.
this is how it occurs step by step, so you don't end up doing it.

1. if you archive data.
2. and you open any archive for viewing using the unarchive option.
3. and then you close the app without "resetting back to current/main db".

If you use the unarchiver I suggest dont close the app without resetting back to the current db, the option is there in the unarchiver. If you reset then there is no issue.

I will release a fix for this along with the next major release Im working on which comes with account support, wifi sync, and currency support.

thanks.

if anybody is interested in helping to translate buddy to any language of choice please get in touch with me via a PM/mail.
If the translations are ready in time for the next update then I can package that into the release.

thanks.
