Here are some suggestions:

  • Having an android widget that allows you to have a monthly summary would be useful
  • When you change the preferences (Colors, style, language, etc..) to make them activate, you have to close the app (restart it) a bit inconvenient
  • When we are on Home -> summary icon of the movements the one at the top (icon in the center), when you click on the home tab it should return to the Home, not remain on the summary
  • On the calendar in Shows records... -> Month, what is the meaning of showing the following year or dates after the current one, the same thing could be valid for dates before the current one, but at least the previous ones could make sense
  • It would be useful to be able to delete a record by simply doing a swap from right to left, instead of having to open the record
  • What is the meaning of the notes if they are not displayed, the only way to see them is to click on the record
  • When we are in a month and there are records previous or after the month we are in, making a movement to the left or towards right it would be useful to change the month, as the google calendar does
  • The possibility of being able to search for a record with a specific note
  • The possibility of exporting the data both a json and in pdf, when you do the pdf mode with the possibility of being able to select the months you are interested in exporting

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to address them in the next releases 😊

Hi,
@Angelk90 is right some important ui changes are needed.
Change the position of these tabs like categories, settings, charts, etc tab. categories and setting tabs are less used tabs. so If possible then move these tabs up side.
And move analysis and upcoming tabs to the bottom side.because these are frequently used.

And add search button and merged export to csv tab inside setting tab.

Hi, thanks for the message. At the moment, I am really finding it hard to find a UI space for the search icon, but I think I have an idea. But more or less I would like the locate the search icon after the month name, similarly to where you put it. Another option would be having a search bar above the summary box.

I am not sure that I agree here. At the bottom you see "pages" while at the top you see the "actions". Everything should happen in the homepage, selecting the number of records, while visualizing the chart is an action that you apply to the records which are currently visualized. Same for the CSV export: it refers exclusively to the data you visualize in the home-page.

According to me beside chart icon is the best place for "Search" icon. (Total 4 Icon)

Is it possible that chart (action to page) conversion? and you can see any month
expense chart by just swiping above the month.

CSV export is ok but it's "threedot" icon is not relevent for it may be "share"
icon is more relevant.
At least add "show or hide" csv export option inside setting tab.

For me, a page would have a different context. Any page should be independent of each other. Similarly to what happen in other apps. That is for keeping a consistent experience for the user.

If the context is separated, I don't think that having in two pages the possibility to specify which records to visualize brings a nice experience, but rather adds complexity.

For example, let's say that in the future there will be a search option, and I want to search my records of a category "Food" for the last two months. I would like the user to define the search options once, and see the records, and if he is interested, clicking the button to see the charts.

If there are two pages, the user would need to define the search options twice and make sure they are consistent between the two pages.

Yup, you r right.
But if possible then move these icons under Month and Year because phn screens are too big.

On the calendar in Shows records... -> Month, what is the meaning of showing the following year or dates after the current one, the same thing could be valid for dates before the current one, but at least the previous ones could make sense

You can add record in the future. Maybe, I will find the time also to implement the forecasting, therefore a look in the future would make even more sense. Won't change.


What is the meaning of the notes if they are not displayed, the only way to see them is to click on the record

Notes for me are meant as additional description, it can be quite long, so it is maybe not useful and not clean to visualize it in the homepage, BUT I made it possible via an option in the preference page.


When you change the preferences (Colors, style, language, etc..) to make them activate, you have to close the app (restart it) a bit inconvenient

It is inconvenient, I agree. However, it requires a lot of work on my side, and theoretically, the user need to change the settings just once in a while. So I don't think I want to invest time on this.


When we are on Home -> summary icon of the movements the one at the top (icon in the center), when you click on the home tab it should return to the Home, not remain on the summary

Also for this, I am not sure, probably would refactor the tabs one day, but at the moment I don't think I'd like to invest time on this. Not an error anyway.
