[APP][2.2+] Simbal, an electronic checkbook app - Android Apps and Games

Simbal
Your money, simply balanced
Hey guys, I wanted to share an app that I made recently with you. It's called Simbal, and it's an electronic checkbook app. The name Simbal comes from "Simple Balance".
I made Simbal because, like many people, I have various bank accounts that I need to keep track of. Unfortunately, my bank's app is always behind by a few days, so it's practically useless. And while I do have a checkbook, I always find myself putting off recording my receipts and purchases until later.
So, I decided to combine the practicality of a checkbook with the convenience of a smartphone! Simbal allows you to create and track an unlimited number of checkbooks and transactions. It also has home screen widgets (Or lock screen, if you're running at least 4.2) that allow you to track the balance of specified checkbooks and add transactions directly from the widget.
Simbal has ads, but they can be turned off though in app purchases. But they're more like donations, because I don't believe in buying functionality, so I've provided 5 different donation amounts. All of them just turn off ads.
If you like what you're hearing, please go check out Simbal on the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bkp.simbal
Or on the Amazon app store here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DRKP2VW/ref=mas_pm_simbal
(You can find screenshots there too)
I'm totally open to comments, and Simbal is definitely still in active development. (If you'd like, you could even leave me a review in the Play Store) Thanks for your time!

how do I get rid of ads

There's a donate option in the menu. The way it's done is through an in app purchase. There are five different preset donation amounts, all of them do the same thing, which is to remove ads. The only reason I provide multiple amounts is so that people could donate more if they wanted to.

On my Evo 4g LTE, I can't do anything. I just see a white screen, with no buttons or menu button. Possible compatibility issue?

Same on my HTC One S.. Just the white screen, and then it crashes..
Thank you for your feedback. I don't have any problems on my 4.1 Galaxy Nexus.
The good news: I also have that issue when running the app in an 4.0.x emulator
The bad news: I don't know, what's wrong there
I'll do some research on that and post here if I can adress the issue!

I just updated the App to a new version! The issues on Ice Cream Sandwich should now be fixed!
Have fun!
Thanks. Works fine now
Will start using this to keep control on how much I spend at my school restaurant.

I have a few requests for your app.
First, I want to edit something I have created. Errors happen, and have to write it again is tedious.
Second, a resume of how much you have. If you got 20 dollars, it would say a 20 down there. If you add a 5 dollars expense, it would show 15 down there.
Third, It would be nice if you could separate the incomes and expenses in categories created by user. For example, I have R$ 27,90 to spend on calls for carries except mine (for my carrier is free of charge). Then I could create a category called: Phone. I would set this 27,90 and, using the last mentioned feature, I would have a control of how much I still can call. Another category would be for SMS + Data usage. It costs for me R$ 0,50 for each day you use each, and I have a R$ 10 limit per month. Then I would have a third category. I would like to keep control on how much i spend at my school to eat.
I think it's pretty good, the explanation, but if you need something else tp understand, let me know.
What could be nice is a use of barcode scaner, you scan some product and you put a price, then every time you scan it, you will have an expense of it
I don't know if i have explained well ...
Another feature that could be great is to have diferents accounts One for register the bank movements and another to our home money xP

1. yes, definitely essential
2. I also had that idea, maybe the app can display a notification if you've exceeded your limit
3. I think this is very special...maybe later

1. sounds like an idea, but the problem is the information gathering, what you really paid for the product, because it won't be the same amount in every store, you know?
2. This is already a bit implemented, when adding an entry you can choose wether it's cash or credit card for example
Ok thanks, sounds great, hmm ohh but it can ask you if the prize is correct no? For example, you go to the shop, for buy, the first time you scan everithin you buy with the prize and the next time you go, if you scan the chips, the cocacola..., the app suggest you to put it as expenses
Like if the app reemember recurring expenditures from the past
I just re-downloaded it, and it looks great. I love the style and how it feels, but I do have some suggestions for you, if you get to develop it more.
1) Have accounts - I would love to be able to put my different bank accounts, gift cards, etc. on this, and track how much money I have left in each. Make it so I can put a starting amount on each account, and then subtract from there. Also to make special note of: transferring money between accounts. This was something I ran into with my project a while back.
2) Receipts - It has always been a goal of mine to be a better record keeper. As such, I would love to be able to take pictures of receipts and either upload them to a service for cloud storage or have them linked to from my SD card. This way I can back them up to my computer at home every once in a while and make sure I have everything when tax time comes.
3) While I'm at it, making it so that two users can share the same account... that would be amazing. Joint checking accounts are awesome for couples, but not if they don't both know what's going on.
4) Backups - I don't want to college months of data simply to have it wiped out if my phone goes south. Allow me to backup to my SD card, or, better yet, sending the data in an email so it can be backed up on any computer I have access from.
5) Statistics - We can track our money, and where it goes, but unless we can analyze our spending patterns, we can't see where we need to go in the future. Having graphs and charts would make this really nice to have. You already have the categories all set up, so getting the statistics (and statistics per account) setup shouldn't be too much more.
I have been trying to develop a reliable solution like this using PHP, MySQL, and jQuery for about a year now. The sad part is that I can't interact with the phone's camera like I want to, to allow me to capture receipts. I guess what I'm saying is, I'd love to help you out on the back-end stuff if you ever need it. I'd love to get this kind of project up and running, as I think it can help a lot of people in a lot of ways. Oh, and have you thought about uploading this to Google Play? Are there any limitations holding you back from doing that? I admire what you're doing, and think it's great that you are putting your talents to such a great use. We all need to be more financially savvy, and this is a great tool to help that.
Thank you for your hard work.

Hi m.ark,
thank you for your nice feedback!
Except your thrid point I think everything would be implementable - I also updated the "features-to-come" in first post (thanks to all the others for the great ideas!!)
Your third point is very hard to implement, but I keep an eye on that topic!
A vision is, that one is able to completely manage that stuff via a web interface, if the data is uploaded to google drive for example. Maybe in a late state we can think about collaborating on this thing?!
Regarding the Google Play thing: At the moment I'm not willing to spend the 20$ for the developer license if the app has not even a minimum of possible features implemented - a long-term-goal is definitely publishing this app to Play Store.
BETA 3
Just released and uploaded BETA3 - check the changelog and have fun
Beta 3 looks good, and runs smooth. I love the backup and restore option. It will be a real saver.
One thing I noticed: if you are at the home page, the only drop down from the menu is for backup and restore, but if you are in the backup and restore tool, the drop down menu lists only "Settings" but doesn't do anything. Just a small bug. Maybe have it go back home since there's no way to do that right now other than hitting back?
Once again, thank you for the awesome app. Keep us up to date on how you're doing, it'd be fun to see the progress you're making. Don't make it a chore, though, that's for sure.
How do you change the currency for this?

In-app purchase filtering

Google Play allows to browse for free applications. Hovewer with introducing in-app purchase it's useless. In-app purchase makes many games a demo. Is there an application which allow for filtering for true free applications? I think google should mark apps with in-app purchase so it would be clear for everybody who install. Now I need to dig through comments to know it.
Next thing is lack of ability to completely block in-app purchase. I'm afraid to leave my daughter with my phone and game using in-app purchase. It's like giving monkey a gun...
Lately AppStore shows " In-app purchase" in applications's description
And now a have it in google play. Why it's mixed with totally free apps?
While not answering all your questions, you can set a password for app purchase. If your daughter can remember a 26 characters alphanumeric password containing uppercase, lowercase, special characters and numbers then I lift my hat to her.
Yeah I did something like this... But filtering should be fair. If somebody gives totally free application, no ads, no demo (in-app purchase very often mean this), not crippled in any way, it must fight with app that has budget to promote it, but isn't free at all, because most features without in-app purchase doesn't work. Yet both are in the same category
I especially hate PTC (Pay To Cheat) "games" - I say games in quotes because it's not really fair to even call them games anymore when you can, or even in some cases have to, pay to win. Clash Of Clans is one example.
Google is breaking their promise to "do no evil" by continuing to host apps such as Clash Of Clans.
It makes me extremely frustrated that I don't see any options in the Google play app to filter out apps with "in app purchases".
I wonder how hard it would be for us to add that (mod/patch) to the Play app?
It's good idea for xposed module

Interesting concept.
I like the idea of promoting your website/work by this method.
I'll be checking the app out though. Look forward to giving it a review.
_____________________________________________________________________
Review:
I can see the app being limited by the "standard" and "pro" version. You have to pay to upload more pictures, but you're not really getting anything in return.
For example if you pay to post your link, and more people see it, there is a return. However simply being able to upload your picture to your service seems like people are paying to make your service better. You're benefiting on both ends. You're not only getting the $ for the premium app, but people who spent $ on it are going to want to use their uploads on their best pictures, ensuring that your service has the best pictures to offer.
Unfortunately that's something that I think needs to be adjusted. Otherwise the app is just a random wall paper changing application.

[APP][6.0+] Free Lot.io | The 100% free lottery

In the past I have downloaded a few different apps from the Play store that let you do scratchers to gain coins, where you watch an AD to play. Enough free coins got you enough for a free gift card. Problem is every one of these apps is a scam, and if you read the recent reviews you can see just that. People get their accounts locked before they can cash out.
So I developed Free Lot.io, the 100% free lottery with PayPal winner verification's at the end of each month. When in the app you watch a short video ad to claim your free ticket. Right now the cap is 7 times per day with potential to increase up to 10 times per day. In the app you can also see the total amount for the month so far, this will increase faster as more people start using the app (The more that play, the more we pay). At the end of the month we have a script that will randomly selects a winner. The winner can win a total of up to $10,000 if the jackpot pool is that high, if the Jackpot pool is over $10,000 then a second winner will be selected up to $10,000. For example if the total loto pool is at $23,000 there would be 3 winners, the first receiving $10,000 the second getting $10,000 and the third getting $3,000. It's that simple, no data logging, no excessive personal information, and no permissions required/requested. You must be 18 years or older to use this app, and create an account. I am very excited to be sharing this with the community. And we're excited we did our first payout the other day! All winner verifications are located on our Instagram located here Instagram

We confine within all of Google Play's terms and conditions. Since this is a sweepstakes app (No money involved from the user), we don't have to worry about the gambling aspect of it. Google has reviewed the application and approved it's spot on Google Play.
Really interesting idea. App seems to work fine.
I'm aware this is a beta but to polish it you could change the toasts to snackbars and add progress bars/spinners for when you register/login as well as perhaps add some haptic feedback.
