Got a question? š
Hello,
We are using TravelSpend on a long-term trip through South America, and after three months we consider it as one of our best traveling companions. Great app!
I work by creating a new trip for each new country we visit, and keep track of the total amount spent in a separate trip. However, I updated the app this morning and noticed some changes in the daily budget calculation of our ongoing trips. For example, in the āoverall tripā, we have a budget of ā¬28000 for one year, which equals ā¬76 per day. Until yesterday, this was indeed the daily budget calculated by the app. Since this morning, however, this budget has dropped to ā¬60 per day.
It took me a while to figure out, but we had some expenses scheduled for next week - a flight, some nights paid ahead - and I already included these in the app. When I set the date of these expenses to today, the daily average bounces back to ā¬76, and all is well.
I see that this update fixed some issues with pre- and post-trip expenses. However, the future expenses mentioned here are still before the end date I set for the trip. As I understand it, these future expenses are now subtracted from the total amount that can be spent before the daily budget is calculated. We often pay in advance for some nights, and this function is also included in the app with the āspread over multiple daysā option, so it would be great if such expenses would not influence the daily budget of a trip. I wonder whether this change has been intentional?
Thank you!
Jorunn
i have a question as well. im loged in as anonymes but i like to make a account now so i my phone dies its back upāt but if i log out will my data be gone?? or can i safely log out and make a real account and login again?
Hi Jorun, yes I have changed the rules for calculating the daily average. Some users have actually complained and requested to not include future expenses in the daily average. Itās interesting to hear that youād prefer them to be included. 
Maybe I should offer some configuration for this. 
What do you think?
Hello Shiva, if you log out from your anonymous account and create a new account you will lose the data youāve already entered. If you contact me on info@travel-spend.com I can maybe help you migrate to a new account.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick response! I think I liked it better when they were included in the daily average, because now it gives the false sense that you are spending less than you actually are. Which is probably why other people like it that way :)!
Anyway, I realize this is personal, and I happily adapt to the new version (good incentive to make less future expenses!). But if more people feel this way perhaps you can add a tick box in the āedit tripā menu, letting people decide whether future expenses should be included?
Hi Jorunn, I agree itās a matter of taste. At the moment future expenses are also subtracted from your budgeted daily average. This way the app would still warn you if youāre adding too many future expenses.
Iāll probably add a setting to disable this at some point. 
Hey,
Ich hoffe es ist okay auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Kann meine Anmerkungen natĆ¼rlich gern noch Mal auf Englisch beschreiben.
ZunƤchst: tolle App, super Ć¼bersichtlich und schƶn gestaltet.
Nun sind mir ein paar Dinge aufgefallen und ich wollte sie Mal anmerken, ich hoffe hier ist dafĆ¼r der Ort.
- Das vielfach angemerkte Teilen zwischen Gruppenmitgliedern (extern sowie intern). Hier wƤre es noch cool, wenn diese Funktion nicht auf eine gleichmƤĆige 50/50 Aufteilung beschrƤnkt wƤre, sondern sich anpassen lieĆe.
- Befindet man sich in einer angelegten Reise und will (wie es mir hƤufig passiert) zwischen den Reisen switchen und drĆ¼ckt dabei den zurĆ¼ck-button so beendet sich die App. WƤre es nicht mƶglich die ReiseĆ¼bersicht als Startseite zu verwenden? Es wĆ¼rde auch reichen, wenn ein āzurĆ¼ckā den Klick oben ins MenĆ¼ ersetzen wĆ¼rde.
- Die Funktionen des Verteilens Ć¼ber mehrere Tage ist genial, aberā¦
3.a) Einmal erstellte Ausgaben lassen sich nicht nachtrƤglich auf mehrere Tage aufteilen
3.b) Aufgeteilte Ausgaben hƤngen nicht mehr zusammen sobald man sie speichert, heiĆt man muss jede einzeln Ƥndern, sollte man sich z.B. verschrieben haben.
Wie gesagt nur ein paar Dinge die mir aufgefallen sind und die sich sicher gut in der App machen wĆ¼rden.
Now English:
Some comments about your otherwise brilliant app
- Sharing between persons in the group 50/50 and should not be limited to equal payment rather add the possibility of unequal shares (eg. 70/30).
- Overview over the trips as the starting screen of the app because ābackā leaves the app.
3.a) Once saved expences cannot be changed to āspread over timeā
3.b) Once saved expences over time arenāt connected, so that you have to change each one separately.
Dear Naolin,
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! 
Some of the points you mention have been brought up by others as well. Iāve added them all to my backlog of feature requests and will hopefully implement them at some point soon.
Vielen Dank

Hi Jonas,
I recently tried your app and I do like it and I use it for professional purpose, however, could you eventually please add a income function?
Like a function that allows you to get an income on the budget? Maybe itās already on the app and I havenāt seen it.
Cheers
Hi, you can actually add negative amounts to add income. Iām planning to improve this functionality in the future.
Hi ā¦ firstly l think this is a brilliant App. I am doing a 3 month trip through Eastern Europe. Just wish l had it last year when l travelled for 18 months.
Anyway when l set it up I had no idea what my budget would be taking into account all expenses ā¦ how do l change the budget amount?
Thanks
Christine
Hi Christine, Iām very happy you like TravelSpend! 
Changing your budget is actually easy. Just tap on your trip name in the top and then tap āEditā in the 3-dot-menu of your trip.
Best,
Jonas
Hello!
Thank you much for developing this app. It is so useful!
I wanted to ask how to delete a budget trip on the iOS app? My partner can delete her own trips on the androids app version. Thanks so much!
Hi, if itās your trip you can tap on it and then tap āDeleteā in the bottom. If the trip was shared with you you canāt delete it at the moment.
Great! Thank you much and thanks again for creating this amazing application!

Hello Jonas,
The app you made is really cool. It is helping a lot of people around the world to manage their travelling expenses. So great job!
But of course as everything is not perfect.
I can see that a lot of people posted a lot of suggestions for improvements and upgrades. I suggested a few things myself.
(how cool is it to have other people helping you to come up with really cool features to make this app the best on the market?! it is like a free creative team on board, isnāt it?)
Iām sure that some of them are difficult to do, some are a bit too much but probably a lot are really great.
But somehow I feel like there is not much happening in terms of implementing any changes/updates.
Apology if Iām wrong and missed some updates!!
I have the premium account and as a paid account i would expect a little bit more frequent improvements tbh.
I do understand that the free version is not something you make much money on but can you do at least a little bit more for the premium accounts?
Iām sorry if i sound harsh but I really do want your app to be the best on the market as all of us will benefit from that! thanks in advance!
Hi Diuleka,
Thanks for your kind post! 
Iām indeed super happy that so many people like and use TravelSpend around the world. Thatās extremely rewarding and motivates me a lot! 
In the past Iāve balanced my work on TravelSpend with freelance work for clients as TravelSpend doesnāt make enough money for me to live off of it. But since the beginning of May Iāve actually been working on TravelSpend full-time. Itās still not making enough money really but I want to invest my time in it as I believe it will grow further in the future. Itās a lot of work as Iām maintaining both the iOS and the Android app (and the backend) all by myself and have to do a lot of customer support as well. Nevertheless, Iām trying to add new features on Android and iOS as frequently as possible.
Also, I have some good news for you 
:
I have actually released a new update for the Android app yesterday (v1.6.0). Itās currently only available in the public beta channel because Iād like to make sure itās really stable before I release it to everyone. But if youād like to to try it out already you can just join the beta channel here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/tech.jonas.travelbudget
This update brings quite a big new feature: you can now link places to expenses and then see all your expenses on a map. This has been requested by many users and I think itās really useful. Have a look and let me know your thoughts. 
This is what it looks like:
Thanks again for your kind and honest message. I hope I was able to give you a satisfying answer. You can be sure that I will continue to add features for both the Android and the iOS app. Iām also planning to be more transparent about my roadmap here in the forum and show what Iām currently working on.
Hi Jonas,
Thank you for such a great app! I just bought a subscription and during my current vacation faced with one annoying restriction - as a user I want to be able to duplicate a record. For instance, we with my wife have paid for tickets for a bus, each with own paypass card. So we have two expenses for 1.70Ā£ paid from each payment card. There is no possibility to do this within one record so I used to create two ones for the same purpose but different payer.
As a bonus feature it would be great to have a dark theme for the app. Recently Google Keep got a dark theme and it looks very good.
Thanks.
Dmytro.
Hi Dmytro,
sorry for the super late reply 
Thank you for your feedback!
Iām planning to implement some kind of cost splitting functionality soon. This will probably don what you need then.
And yes at some point Iāll probably add a dark theme too.
Best regards,
Jonas
