Budget vs Actual

I might not have located all App features, but I am unable to locate anywhere an option to view the budget in a monthly view like you would in a cashflow view and then have the actuals (already reconciled) integrated. E.g. actual act. Budget budget Jan. Feb. March. April Income. 3500 3800 3300. 3300 Gas. 876. 765. 900. 900 Annual fee. 80 I also don‘t understand how annual budget items work. If it is an annual item it should appear in a certain month. I understand one needs to save up for it, however that is where the monthly cashflow view would come in. That is just my thinking. The way this app is set up I feel there is little use for a budget. It would probably be more beneficial to put the budgeted figures in as actuals going forward and then correct them as time progresses. Is there an option to duplicate a book to test this? Thank you very much for your feedback Cheer Petra

Rethink Multi currency Usage

A tx is not in Native Currency, the app is not able to calculate the exact amount out of pocket. Like for example, I could exchange it with the provider, or I could pay with credit or debit, I could be charged fx fee or I couldn’t. My point is when you have an account with different currency and you are making a transfer from Ac1 $ to Ac2 €. I want to type in the amount transferred and the amount received and I want the app to calculate the currency rate. Right now it works like this. You’re pressing the Plus Button. You’re typing in the amount and pressing transfer. You’re choosing Ac1 $ to Ac2 €, category, date, etc. The app calculates that now you have two txs Ac1 out 1999$ and Ac2 in 1951.53€. But in real life, for example, you’ve been billed a different amount, you don’t know the rate, this tx ended for you with having 1812.35€. What you can do right now is to go to the Ac2 €. Edit in € transfer and all you can do is just edit the rate. Now I need to separately calculate at what rate I’ve got these Euros, press the Save button and I see that I need to change the USD amount from $2146.69 to the original $1999 — Because, after changing the rate the 1951.53€ stays and will be recalculated only the $ Dollar amount — to reflect the true amount I have 1812.35€. Which I will NOT be able to achieve bc the in-app calculator uses two digits after the separator. And the app shows in this case that I have $1999/1812.35€=1.10 ( False ) — $ 1999/1.10= 1,817.27. The correct amount is 1.1029878335 to achieve $1999/1.1029878335=1812.35€ This is half bad if I could use a third-party Calculator app, but I won’t be able even to paste this rate 1.1029878335 into your app. I ONLY must fill it manually. My proposal You’re pressing the Plus button. You’re choosing transfer. You’re choosing FROM $ and TO €. The app understands this will be an exchange and asking me for the end result € amount. The app calculates the rate from $amount/€amount=rate.02928380302828toInfinity No more dancing around. I’m happy, you’re happy.
