Re: [APP] Shp Finance 2.40 [4/8/09] [VGA/QVGA/Wide]

You know, the real underlying problem with this sort of app (finance) is it's complexity; it's not a point and shoot camera then 2 thumb presses to send iphone simplicity.

It's a fully functional way to manage your finances. Would you expect your work PC to let you do everything with 1 or 2 mouse clicks? What about spreadsheets?

As we in the unix/linux world know, the complexity allows you to do great things, while minimalistic/simplistic GUIs limit your options.

I hate to say it, but sometimes it's just how it is.

Now, don't get me wrong, i say "you can never say never and never say always" but unless a truly innovative way of working with finance comes out, this is how it'll be.

I run my custom program through excel, and although I try to make it easier to look at with different colored backgrounds and little boxes and what not, it's still the same in the end: fields to fill in.

While I understand you might want something pretty to look at or touch, you won't find it in financial software, it's just an ugly business.
