Shared book also appears as a non-shared book and cannot be opened separately

I am experiencing a confusing issue with a shared book in Budget Flow 3.2.3. After sharing my book “BOOK 1” with another user, it appears twice in the book selector: Under “Not shared” Under “Shared by you” The shared entry works correctly. However, selecting the non-shared entry always activates the shared book instead. It never opens as a separate book. To test this, I created another private book called “BOOK 2”. Switching between “BOOK 2” and the shared “BOOK 1” works normally. But whenever I select the non-shared “BOOK 1”, Budget Flow activates the shared “BOOK 1” again. I also renamed the non-shared entry to “BOOK 1 bis”. Only that entry was renamed; the shared one kept its original name. Despite having different displayed names, selecting “BOOK 1 bis” still activates the shared “BOOK 1”. The only available action for the non-shared entry is deletion. I do not know whether it is a separate orphaned reference or whether both entries point to the same underlying book, so deleting it feels unsafe and could potentially affect the shared book and all its data. Expected behaviour: a shared book should appear only once. If the non-shared entry is only a residual reference, it should be removed automatically or there should be a clearly safe way to delete it without affecting the shared book.

Improvements for Shortcuts: transfers and categories

Hello, First of all, thank you for Budget Flow. I use it extensively together with Apple Shortcuts, and I have a couple of feature requests that would significantly improve automation. 1. Support transfers in Shortcuts Currently, Shortcuts can create Income and Expense transactions, but there is no action to create a Transfer between accounts. Please add a dedicated Add Transfer action (or extend the existing actions) so transfers can be created entirely from Shortcuts without opening the app or requiring manual confirmation. 2. Support duplicate category names in different folders At the moment, the Shortcuts action accepts only the category name as plain text. In Budget Flow, categories are organized into folders, and different folders can contain categories with the same name. For example: Transport > Car Travel > Car In Shortcuts, only “Car” is available, so there is no way to specify which category should be used. Possible solutions: expose Category as an App Entity with a unique identifier instead of plain text; add a separate Folder parameter; or display categories as “Folder / Category” in the Shortcuts picker. This would make automations much more reliable and would fully support users who organize their categories by folders. Thank you for considering these improvements.

Issue with Planned Transactions Not Being Recorded

I am experiencing an issue with the scheduled transactions feature in the app. I have created several Planned transactions, but they are not being automatically recorded in the app. Instead, I have to enter them manually whenever I remember, which defeats the purpose of having Planned transactions. My iPhone does receive the notification for the Planned transaction, but when I open the app, there is no corresponding transaction recorded. I have already tried deleting and recreating the Planned transactions, but the issue still persists. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this problem. If the Planned transactions do not work properly, I will not be able to keep accurate records of my expenses, making the app difficult to use as intended. The planned transaction was supposed to be created on 15 jul 2026 9:00am. However, today I received the notification, and this time the transaction was created correctly. I don’t know why.

Improvement to the transactions section

I find this app very useful, but I’d like to suggest an improvement to the expense entry section. I think it would be more useful to have only the essential information at the top, such as amount, category (and tags), and date, with the calendar clearly visible without having to scroll down to enter older expenses. It would also be helpful to have the app stay on the last selected date (for example, if I’m entering expenses for March, it should remain fixed on the last date entered so I don’t have to keep scrolling back through the months). I would place the less frequently used information below to avoid having to keep scrolling through the page. Let me know if anyone else is in the same situation. Of course, these are all suggestions aimed at improving the user experience. Thank you for your work on the app.
