ISSUE TRACKER: Manage Your Riches (Android)

Please let me know of any tiny or gigantic issue(s) you may have faced with the app, and I will do my best to quickly make it better for you!

App release announcement

Manage your riche$, the first app from bitBusy has officially been released  a few minutes ago.

A personal expense manager, this app allows you to do cool things like viewing graphical reports of your expenditure, setting bill payment remminders and exporting your expenditure data by email,  along with its primary functionality of filing your expenses.

The graphs are drawn with attention to detail and considering many variables, such as category of spending, method of spending, day of spending and so on.

You can play around with the reminders - add notes to them, view upcoming ones and also, edit them.

As far as exporting the data goes, you could set the app to email you the data recurrently - either weekly or monthly, or you could use it as a one-time function (like, emailing mom to look at all your spending! Money is needed ;-) )..

You can play around with the categories, subcategories and payment methods too - in addition to the really neat ones that come with the app, add your own. If you change your mind at a later date, no problem! Just delete.

The ultimate idea of this app is to be a free provision for someone needing a function-rich and sophisticated personal expense manager. This was the goal since the inception of the idea for Manage Your Riches and hopefully, it is achieved.
