Got a question? 🙂

Hi, if it’s your trip you can tap on it and then tap “Delete” in the bottom. If the trip was shared with you you can’t 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, isn’t it?)
I’m 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 I’m 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?
I’m 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! :slightly_smiling_face:I’m indeed super happy that so many people like and use TravelSpend around the world. That’s extremely rewarding and motivates me a lot! :blush:

In the past I’ve balanced my work on TravelSpend with freelance work for clients as TravelSpend doesn’t make enough money for me to live off of it. But since the beginning of May I’ve actually been working on TravelSpend full-time. It’s 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. It’s a lot of work as I’m 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, I’m trying to add new features on Android and iOS as frequently as possible.

Also, I have some good news for you :wink::
I have actually released a new update for the Android app yesterday (v1.6.0). It’s currently only available in the public beta channel because I’d like to make sure it’s really stable before I release it to everyone. But if you’d 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 it’s really useful. Have a look and let me know your thoughts. :slight_smile:

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. I’m also planning to be more transparent about my roadmap here in the forum and show what I’m 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 1.70£ 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.

#21

Hi Dmytro,

sorry for the super late reply :see_no_evil:Thank you for your feedback!
I’m planning to implement some kind of cost splitting functionality soon. This will probably don what you need then.
And yes at some point I’ll probably add a dark theme too. :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Jonas

It looks like when I create a custom category it becomes a subcategory under “Other” on the chart that appears under “Statistics”. Are we able to create our own subcategories?

For example, can I do something like:

Shopping
—Souvenirs
—Clothes
— Liquor

Transportation
—Taxi
—Bus
—Uber

Thanks!

Why some categories appear as (others) on the statistics chart? Any way to change that to display all categories on the chart?

Hi there, categories are grouped in “Other” if they make up less than 5%of your total spend. The app only does this to not clutter the pie chart too much and keep it simple. :slightly_smiling_face:

#25

Hello,
I have been using the app through my trip in south america and about 2-3 days ago, after i changed my phone’s language to portuguese and then back to english, my categories remained in portuguese.
Everything else is in english.
Is there any way to fix this?

#26

Hi, I think we can help you with this. Can you please contact us using the in-app chat?

#27

When exporting to csv I can’t see any indication if a transaction is an income or expense. Is it possible to enable that somehow?

#28

Hi Simon, sorry for the super late reply. We’ve now released an update that adds this information to the CSV export. Let me know what you think. :slight_smile:

#29

Hello!
I really like your app, I’ve used it already for 4 different trips.
There are few development ideas:

  • add multiple pictures; sometimes I add the photo of the bill but it would be nice to add a picture for example of the dish we ate, for comparison reasons
  • scanning barcodes to get a list view of the products bought, for example groceries (less important)
  • option to see average costs per location, this will definitely help planning future trips
  • choosing the cover photo by search, for example by country name (less important)
  • option to go back: if I use now the back button on my phone, it kicks me out of the app. I sometimes forget to use the hamburger sign.
  • there’s a bug with calculations but I already sent you a message about that previously.

Thanks!

Hi,
The split feature ia realy good.
Is there a possibility to show the cost of a trip just for ourself ( and not the global cost of the travel for the group) ?

I wanted to use your app for friend trip but everyone want to have have his own spend.

Thanks for this wonderful App by the way :smiley:

#31

Hi Jonas,
Would it be possible to integrate a manual update trigger when all the expenses are listed and you pull the list down?

Reason: when we add expenses from multiple devices, the list (new entries from other device) is only synced when I add a new expense.

Thanks in advance,
Tommy

#32

Hi Tommy, are you using the app on Android or iOS? Usually it should refresh automatically.

#33

Hi, unfortunately that’s not possible. For this I would recommend to create separate trips.

#34

Using Android here. On both devices.

#35

Hi there, when adding an expense and selecting who paid for that expense, is it possible to have an option where it was paid for with a joint card?
My boyfriend and I are travelling and have some expenses that are paid for on a joint credit card and some expenses that are paid by one of us personally. Hope that makes sense?
Thanks in advance
