I've created an Expense Tracker tool that me and my wife use, and I wanted to start a thread here to see what opinions or feedback people might have. The app is in the Android Market called "Expense Tracker" by teleknEsis.
It works as follows:
Register with email/password then login
Manage (Add/Edit/Delete) the categories for your expenses
Create Expense Periods for tracking by specifying Start Date and End Date
Add Income or Expenses inside an Expense Period.
Balance (Income - Expenses) is shown at the top with the total spent on any categories entered.
Click on a category to see an itemized view of the expenses for that category.
Long-press individual items to Edit/Delete.
What really makes this app stand out, in my opinion, is that you can Share expense periods with other registered users. Long-press an Expense Period and choose 'Share' then either pick a contact from your phonebook or manually enter an email address. Manage who is sharing the expense period here too. Other users will then see your expense period once shared, and everyone can make edits to it in real time! Great for family or shared expenses!!
Let me know what you guys think - I'm curious to get some feedback. Thanks!

Hello all,
WYMO (Watch Your Mobile Operator) is an Android friend that helps you find the cheapest mobile plan available for you in the UK market.
Our application is in beta testing phase and we are looking for volunteers who would agree to use WYMO's services free of charge and to give us invaluable feedback on their experiences.
If you are interested in giving our app a try and you have Android 2.3 on your phone please go to wymo.co.uk or search for Wymo on Facebook to get to our app's page, where you can find a link (as a noob I can't link here now) or drop a mail to [email protected] and I'll send you the apk.
If you’re a tester don’t hesitate to share your questions and ideas here in this thread or via the email address above. Testers will be asked in a few weeks by a questionnaire as well.
Details about how our app works:
The app is counting incoming and outgoing calls, SMSes, MMSes, data traffic and roaming as well (due privacy reasons it only watches the first 4 numbers of phone numbers). Then it searches for the cheapest plan available on the UK market by analysing the data gathered. The user will get an email about the better offers.
To gather sufficient amount of data the app needs a few weeks monitoring of usage. This happens automatically as the process runs in the background showing a green logo on the status bar.
On the first start the app asks for a few data: only a valid email address and the name of your operator is required. Gender, age, education and postal code are optional.
The main screen has 6 options:
Show report shows the measured usage data.
Discount numbers is where the user can add those numbers which it can call with discount prices (this helps us to be more accurate)
Number portability is where the user can set those contacts who have different prefix than their operator (it helps us to be more accurate as well).
Upload data to server option uploads the measured data to the server.
Settings leads to the app settings.
Purchase leads to the Market’s in-app payment system, where the user can pay to get the cheaper offer’s list. The user will get an email with the list of offers and their prices. For beta testers the service is free.
Should you have any questions, feel free to ask here or via email.

Receipts is a new personal expense tracking app that recognizes numbers from receipts avoiding the need for the cumbersome typing. Recognition is done on the phone instantly so no data connection is needed, plus the photos of your receipts don't wander off to some cloud in the sky.
Check it out at
market.android.com/details?id=com.rocklab.abc.android.Receipts
Looking forward to your comments/criticism/feature requests.
Needed to budget the expenses!! thanks..
Does it save a picture of the entire receipt as well, just in case the text recognition fails?
I'll have to try this out when I get home. Would hopefully encourage me to be better about keeping track of my receipts. Usually I just check my bank statement periodically and make sure all the debit charges look right.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, if you enable the "Save low-res photos?" option in the settings menu (its enabled by default) it saves low resolution photos of receipts (around 50 kB). They are located in "/sdcard/receipts/"
The app doesn't do text recognition. It only recognizes numbers, to which you can than add your own tags. Sufficiently good text OCR would take too long on a mobile phone, plus our philosophy goes towards keeping expense tracking simple (amounts + user-defined tags).
Hi,
I just downloaded this app and I like it a lot and it works perfectly.
I have some feedback and some feature ideas below:
My Phone: Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch
Feedback:
-Love the minimalist view, not a lot going on just what I was looking for. Track money and receipts not graphs and other stuff "normal" people like myself don't care about.
-The default settings for the camera gave me problems because the camera couldn't focus on the receipt. When I switched it to "Use native Camera?" I was able to focus the camera on my receipts.
Feature ideas:
-Have the ability to save hi-res pictures of receipts
-Have the ability retrieve the receipt image from the individual transaction
-Have the ability to enter a deposit amount that can be subtracted from the receipts
I'm a programmer but I just started playing with android development if you want extra help or more ideas I would be happy to help.
Thanks again for the great app,
BlueKalel

ShareNŌTZ is a new Android app (4.4+) that is simple enough that you can start entering notes and lists within seconds of installing.
It's powerful enough to keep everything synchronized between all your Android devices.
Download it at the Play Store
And if you wish, you can easily share specific notebooks and all the notes they contain with your friends and colleagues with its powerful mobile collaboration features. Everyone you share a notebook with can then view your notes and add their own. And if there are any checklists, everyone can check, uncheck, and add items to those lists.

Just share your notebook with your significant other, and as you're both shopping in different stores, every item you check off will automatically be checked off on the other device. Every new item you add will show up automatically for everyone else you've shared with.
Many note taking apps allow you to share a note via text message, email, etc.. But ShareNŌTZ offers true collaboration ... in real time!
That's what ShareNŌTZ can do.

Hi all,
I'd like to invite you to try my app:
Another chat? Yes. No. Wait! Did you ever hang with friends in downtown and wanted to split? But hesitated - how will you find them again? Sure, you can agree to meet in an hour in certain spot. But what if you are late? Or what if they see some fun place and want you to come there? This app can help! You see yours and your friends’ locations on the map in real time. And you can text them – the map and chat share the same screen.
Do you like hiking in parks and want to share your location with relatives at home? Are you an avid fisherman and want your buddy to get to this real good spot you just found? Do you have guests coming to your cottage but don’t want to call them to check how far they are? With Location Chat you save time and have piece of mind that you are connected!
Location is updated with the frequency controlled by the app settings (10 seconds to 5 minutes). You have full control of whether you're sending your location updates. Disable it at any time or let the timer to turn it off. Your location is shared within the chat. Contacts in other chats will not see it, unless you choose to enable it there.
Share a place of interest on the map: simply add a marker with the icon of what it is, e.g. "Picnic Site" or "Cabin", and your friends will see it too. And of course all normal functions of a messaging app are included: group and individual chats with text and picture sharing, forwarding and replies.
You can use Location Chat on smart phone or tablet with a data plan. Just register an account and you are ready to go. No personal information (phone number, email, etc.) required.
Features include:
- Simple, familiar interface with chat and user lists.
- Chat screen with integrated map. Upon turning on location sharing, other chat members will see your location on the map.
- Private (one-on-one) and group chat.
- Marks that can be published on chat map and shared with chat members.
- Take and post photos, share with other chats or messaging apps.
- Chat messages can be encrypted with password.
- Read and dismiss messages inside Android notification.
- XMPP standard is used as protocol
If you have a feature request or a suggestion – feel free to share with us! The app is in active development and we would welcome any ideas!
