Been looking for something like this. I hobbled together something in Excel, but I'm super lazy and mobile Excel is rather limited. I think Rain's "Register" idea would be great as well. This really is a fantastic program, keep up the great work! Thank you!!!

Thanks. :) Yeah, I had been using my excel sheet in mobile Excel as well...it sucked. Thanks to the TP's res I was able to put it at 50% zoom and see most of it, but it was still crappy.

I've started working on the register idea and all seems to be going well so far. I'm kinda having trouble deciding how to design it though.

The tab I was talking about earlier is finished (with all the personal info). I'm running it on my phone and I've already had to use it twice today. Really handy.

I keep giggling every time I compile the app. The first version (unreleased) was like 25KB. The 1.0 release was ~40KB. v2.2 is going to be over 200KB. Ridiculous! :D

Haha that's great, but it's not too big so no worries. The main function that Excel _sort of_ was useful for was keeping the register, and automatically subtracting it from say my checking account total. But then sometimes I'd take money out of my savings account. And now I have multiple savings accounts. And just like you said, trying to keep track of how much i'm spending plus the register, was hard to see everything! Just some problems I hit trying to throw something like that together, maybe some thing to think about. If not then never mind :) Thanks again, and keep up the awesome work.

I'm not sure of any way to make that sort of thing "easy" for anyone. Some of the best finance apps out there (for desktop Windows) still require a lot of input from the user, and if you're not on top of it, it gets messed up. If I can just find a way to code this so it automatically hooks up to your bank acct and fills all the info out for you...hmm...
lol

4.0? I was thinking more along the lines of 9.0. ;)

Does Microsoft Money even do that? I know they can log in to your credit card accounts for you, but I don't know what information they can retrieve.

I'm trying to come up with some categories for the ledger. Here's what I have so far:

Meals & Entertainment
Automobile Expense
Housing Expenses
Other Bills
Groceries

Anyone have any more ideas for categories? I can't think of any other categories because all I ever see on my credit card's website is Meals & Entertainment and Automobile Expenses

Re: [UPDATE: 3/16/09] myBudget 2.1 - Monthly budget app (VGA/QVGA/Wide)
 
I can't think of any, but what about having an "Other" category, which you can edit the name of to make whatever you want? That would let the user fully customize the app to his/her needs.

That will be an option, but I'd like to categorize based on hard-coded values as much as possible. The goal would be to view how much you're paying in each category.

Re: [UPDATE: 3/16/09] myBudget 2.1 - Monthly budget app (VGA/QVGA/Wide)
 
Here I go with more crazy ideas...

How would you guys feel about a background-running service (as an option) that would notify you of your upcoming expenses and allow you to mark them as paid or not (when marked as paid, notifications would not occur on that item). This would be able to be customized to notify at certain days of the week and at certain times.

This is something I'm going to eventually code for myself, because I SUCK at remembering my bills, but I'd like to implement it into the app as a service if it's something that people would find useful.

I'm kinda mixed up on my versions, but I thought 2.1 did this. If not, 2.2 definitely fixes this. The budget page is now refreshed automatically when any adjustment to income or expenses is made.

If it isn't in 2.1, you should be able to select another tab, then go back to the Budget tab to recalculate it. I'm pretty sure that it was updated when the tab was selected in the old code. Sorry about that, and thanks for reporting.

Love the app, but for some reason when I edit one of my expenses it doesn't reflect in my disposable income and total expenses until I go through about 5 steps... Just wondering if you could add a refresh option...

I would probably just integrate your app with the standard windows mobile calendar to schedule and manage reminders with useful info in them (amount, due date, account, etc.). Less complicated that way I think, and no need for running background services.

The problem with the calendar is that if you pass the date something is due, you get no more reminders. With the service running, it would still pop up an item on the 16th that was due on the 15th that was not yet marked as paid. This is one of the frustrating things about the calendar. I have a couple bills that have 5-10 day grace periods on them, but they're DUE on a certain day, and I'd like to be reminded of that particular day, not the end of the grace period.

If the calendar was more versatile in this regard, I would do it.

Crap...I guess that answers my question wondering if that version had that fix.

The new version will not do this. I have the budget tab auto-updating whenever any expense or income is added or edited.

Actually, it's bi-weekly on my check.

Things added in v2.2 so far:

[ADD] Click-Hold stylus on lists shows pop-up menu with Add/Edit/Remove
[ADD] Ledger tab: Keep track of your credits, debits, and balance
[ADD] Wallet tab: Store Credit Cards, Accounts, Logins, etc.
[ADD] List Sorting: Click column header once for ascending, twice for descending
[CHG] Tabs sized smaller again and retitled to fit all 5 on screen
[FIX] Errors caused by various other countries currency characters
[FIX] Budget tab updates properly now
[FIX] Income list: Clicking selected list item opened edit, now must dbl click
[FIX] Random minor bugs and validation issues
[DEL] Removed check box for startup tab option, now just defaults to Income

I [should] have some teaser images up for this VERY soon. I'm just having some issues with the Ledger tab because I coded the entire thing, scrapped it and changed it, then scrapped that, and recoded it again a third time. I think I finally have it how I like it (main goal was to require less input from user), but I seem to be having unexplainable problems. As soon as I get it working, the screens will be up here.

This version is taking quite a while because it's a LOT of code, especially the ledger stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if I tested the crap out of it and found no issues and someone found a bug in 5 minutes. :P

Ah, sh*t. I don't know why I never even checked before I named this, but apparently there is an Apple iPhone app with the same EXACT name as this, and there is a finance solution on the web also called myBudget. Looks like I'll have to make a more permanent software company name and just call it "Budget"

rainfreak 03-22-2009 06:52 PM
Re: [UPDATE: 3/16/09] myBudget 2.1 - Monthly budget app (VGA/QVGA/Wide)
 
Or call it ppcBudget, since it is for WinMo phones. And that would guarantee you search results for anyone searching the terms "budget" and "ppc."

Or you could call it myFinance(s); or ppcFinance(s). Since you are building more than just budget stuff into it... might make more sense.

Just a couple of thoughts for you :)

Re: [UPDATE: 3/16/09] myBudget 2.1 - Monthly budget app (VGA/QVGA/Wide)
 
Ok, it's up for vote: one of the two will be the new name:

1. myFinance
2. myMoney

After a search, I couldn't find any apps with either of those names, so those are the options for now.

Also, does everyone like the Ledger screen? If not, any suggestions?
