IOweU - four opportunities
Hello,
Thank you for your response, I have been using the app for a while and I want to share with you four areas where I identified there is room for improvement. Aiming to be as precise as possible, I categorized them in Need, Problem or Improvement. I have screenshots but did not find how to attache them.
I really hope this feedback results useful.
Regards,
Jonathan Adames Nava
1 - (Problem): the app crashes when I try editing amount and currency is in PAB
Story: sometimes just taping in the amount field causes the app to crash, I noticed it does not happen when currency is set in dollars. I have PAB by default, suppose it is due to my location.
The error happens when editing an existing entry and also when creating a new account and press save.
To be able to use the app, I changed all my accounts to USD one by one.
2 - (Problem): amount return zero when editing existing entries
Story: after deleting with backspace the default or previous amount and write down a new amount, sometimes the amount goes back to zero when taping other field or done. This does not happen when the currency is USD.
Noticed that if I use the x to erase the full content of the field, the amount is correctly captured. However, when taping save the amount go back to zero again. It seems like the problem is when are letters in the amount field.
Proposed solution: isolate currency character letters in a label or not editable field
3 - (Need): have the entries chronologically sorted.
Story: I usually have several entries per day, and it is important to register them in order of occurrence (hour). Currently I use the description field to record the time but this field does not affect the sorting logic.
Proposed Solutions:
1. allow to manually sort
2. include date and time so it sorts the entries automatically
Example from another app:
4 - (improvement): allow to sort accounts
Story: accounts are sorted by default in alphabetical order. I prefer to have them from highest to lowest amount for instance.
Proposed Solutions:
1. allow to manually sort
2. include a menu with different sort options
Below an example from another app.

Hi Jonathan -
Thank you very much for the feedback - it is very detailed and I will start looking at this right away. I apologize for the delay in responding, I somehow missed the notification about this post.
Looking at all 4 items in your last, I think all are achievable and I will post an update as soon as they are complete. I estimate that I will have this complete in about 7 days and will post when a new update is available.
Thank you for using iOweU! And I am grateful for the feedback to improve the app.
Best regards,
David
