Refreshing is problematic. When one person enters data it takes a while for the other person to see it.
Developer Response Thank your for your feedback, we will improve this in our next release

What's New in 2.05
• Pocket Clear on your Lock Screen — today's spending now sits under the clock, in whichever of three shapes fits: a small circle, a wider one with the figure on its own line, or an inline one beside the date. Tap any of them to go straight to Add Expense, so logging something is a tap rather than a hunt for the app icon.
• An Add Expense button — on iOS 18 and later, add Pocket Clear to Control Center, or use it to replace the torch or camera button in the corner of your Lock Screen, and jump straight to Add Expense from anywhere.

What's New in 2.03
• Payees (Pro) — track who a transaction was with, not just what it was for. Turn them on in Settings, and a Payee field appears when you add or edit a transaction, suggesting names you've used before.
• Search your transactions (free) — find anything in your history from All Transactions by note, category, amount, or payee name.
• Paid twice a month? (free) — the new semi-monthly period splits each month on two days you choose, so Home, Reports and your budgets follow your real pay cycle instead of the calendar. Budgets reset on payday rather than the 1st.
• A Home screen that suits you (free) — give a negative balance its own colour so a month you're down for doesn't look like a good one, hide the parts of Home you don't use, and see a running "Spent today" total above your recent transactions.
• Plus partner fixes and the usual polish — a partner's payment types no longer render blank on their transactions, their budget limits now appear in Reports alongside yours, and there's a round of smaller corrections across Reports.

What's New in 2.03
• Setup guide — a ring on your Home screen shows how many of Pocket Clear's 19 features you've set up; tap it for a checklist that takes you straight to any of them
• A quieter daily reminder — if you've already logged something that day, it doesn't fire at all, so you're only nudged on the days you actually forgot
• Pro, now yearly — a yearly plan alongside monthly, cheaper per month; your exact price and saving are shown in the app, and the free month applies either way
• 20 category colours — the Spending by Category chart no longer repeats a shade once you have more than eight categories
• Improved translations and small fixes throughout — including a clearer message if you mistype your email when signing up
2.03 Jul 30
What's New in 2.02

• Budget Rollover — carry a category's unused budget into the next period instead of resetting to zero

• Improved translations and small fixes throughout

Start your month on the 29th, 30th, or 31st
• You can now set your budget month to begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st, and your choice sticks (previously it reverted to the 28th). In shorter months the period simply starts on that month's last day — February on the 28th, or the 29th in a leap year — then returns to your chosen day the next month.
• New in-app help: tap the "?" next to Text Size, Language, and Balance Carry-over in Settings, and on the Reports and Transactions screens, to learn what each feature does.
As always — no bank linking, no ads, works offline.

Inter-account transfers (Pro) are here — plus a stack of upgrades from your requests:
• Inter-account transfers (Pro): move money between your accounts — like paying a credit card from your bank — without it counting as income or an expense.
• Add a time to any transaction: same-day entries sort by time, the time shows on each row, and it's included in CSV/PDF exports.
• Recurring transactions: set an end date so loans and EMIs stop automatically, and assign a subcategory.
• Tap a budget to see the exact transactions behind it.
• Reports: category colours now stay consistent month to month, and you can tap any pie slice or bar to see its value.
• "Show All Transactions" now opens on the month you're viewing.
• Overall Balance reflects everything up to the month you're viewing, with a cleaner monthly Net.
• Streamlined transaction filters.
