Developer's Notes: Note: Starting with version 4.2, all features are free of charge. Instead, I have introduced Apple's new unobtrusive media-rich iAds. You can of course turn ads off through an in-app purchase. After you purchase head over to the system preferences to turn it off. Since this is now the only source of income for this app, I would very much appreciate it if you left ads on. Don't forget to tap on one of them once in a while. Doing so will not eject you from the app, as other ads do.
For more information on all of the features, please visit the support page. There is an in-depth FAQ page there as well.
Have you found yourself often asking the questions “What will my bank balance look like in 3 months if I increase my credit card payment by X dollars? Can I afford to buy a new set of headphones in 3 months?” I was always having issues with those types of questions. Furthermore, I felt very disorganized, because I have around 15 monthly bills, each due on a different date. That’s how my app was born. You input your bills and income, you update your current balance and it tells you what your new balance will be after you have paid a bill or after income comes in.
This app is also for you if you simply need a bill tracking app. With this versatile app, you can mark bills as paid, search, view them in a calendar, view them in a list sorted by date, mark important bills so they pop up, send push or email reminders and much more.
Features:
Forecast your balance up to one year in the future
The application takes the information you entered and provides lists sorted by date. Here you can see how much money you have left on any given day in the future. Make sure you update the balance first at the top of the list to get an accurate figure!
Push Reminders (in-app purchase)
You can now enable reminders for bills or income. You can opt to receive only push reminders, only emails or both. You can also choose at what time you would like to receive reminders
Web Access
This feature is still in its infancy, but you, the users will decide how this will look in the future. For now, you will be able to import and export the data from the app for safekeeping. You can also turn on Sync, and it will sync up your current bills and income with www.balanceforecastingapp.me. You can then log in there and do basic edits on it. Finally, you will be able to see your forecast there as well as a quick reference.
Create exceptions for irregular items
If one of your bills is due for a different amount or on a different date in any given period, you can tell the app, so it will generate a more accurate forecast.
Mark items as Paid
You can now also mark an item as paid. It will remove it from your forecast and will update your balance accordingly.
Notification if your balance falls below 0 at any point in the future
Passcode lock to keep prying eyes away
Searching and filtering
Search and filter your forecast items based on date, name, amount and balance by tapping the search bar. This powerful feature allows you to narrow things down to whatever you could think of.
Calendar view
Display your forecast data in a nice calendar, which is essentially identical to the one in the Calendar application. Also, if you marked an item when adding or editing it, you will see either a green plus sign (for income) or a red exclamation sign (for expenses) for the days when the item occurs.
Auto-updating balance
This feature allows your balance to be automatically be set when you open up the program to a value. The new balance is based on your previous balance and what bills/income have occurred since last time you opened the app.
