Windows Phone

Hi CharlesC,

Thanks for your comment - Windows Phone Apps will definitely be coming soon, so stay tuned for that. Should they be restricted to Windows Phone 7 apps only, or should it include some from Windows Mobile 6 and 6.5?

Best,

Jon Wilcox

Receipt Bank

Hi - could you please add the Receipt Bank app?

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/receipt-bank/id418327708?mt=8

It is worth noting that this is available in a 'white label' version for accountants and bookkeepers.

Thanks,

Michael

Review of expense trackers

 

Expense reports are on of the most time consuming bookkeeping tasks. A startup company of two employees and one director can spend as much as 12 hours a month keying in personal expense claims.

For this reason staff dread the task of submitting monthly expense claims, and are often late presenting expense claims to management.

We road-tested a bunch of mobile apps to see if this tedious task could be improved. We published our findings here:
