Version 1.72 New Feature: >Quick Log is here! This feature uses shortcuts so that you can ask Siri or use the back tap(double or triple taps) to quickly log transactions without opening the app. Tap the "..." on the upper right and then go to Settings. Scroll down and look for Quick Log and follow the instructions for the option that fits you best. Thank you Clang for the suggestion! Bug fixes: >Paying off a credit card in a different currency now deducts the correct amount from your bank account. For example, paying an AUD credit card balance from a PHP bank account will now properly convert and deduct the equivalent PHP amount. >Payment reversal or deletions now also reflect the converted amount for cross currency transactions. >Bills in any currency now show the right symbol. If you had a bill set to EUR, SGD, or any currency other than PHP or USD, it was incorrectly showing a "$" sign. It now shows the correct symbol everywhere. >The bills alert on your home screen is now more accurate. It was sometimes showing ₱0.00, missing upcoming bills that fall just a few days into the next month, and showing the wrong amount in the "Next due" line when your base currency wasn't PHP. All fixed with the banner now showing the correct total, counting all your upcoming bills, and converting amounts to your base currency properly.
