Great app for expats
WeRun19
This app is loaded with amazing features for expats who want to keep track of their days in the UK and abroad. The UI is really seamless, highly recommend.
Developer Response
Thank you! Tracking UK and overseas days shouldn't be a spreadsheet job, so it's great to hear the UI is working for you. More expat-focused features on the way.
Good, clear, rational
BenjiWorth
Been reading UK gov site for the rules which are more complex than i initially knew. This app incorporates the various Ties as well. Useful for planning.
Developer Response
Thanks, Benji. The SRT ties are where most people come unstuck, so we made sure they're built in properly rather than left as an afterthought. Glad it's helping with planning.
Full tax packs. The new Export centre builds a complete UK tax year report for your accountant: your SRT result, UK days, ties, a day-by-day log and your evidence. You can also export Excel or CSV spreadsheets, make a full backup that works on any device, and bring days in from a CSV.
Fill In My History. Fill in past tax years, as far back as your photos go, from the date and location saved with each one. Review every day before saving, and undo it at any time. Your pictures are never viewed and stay on your phone.
Settings, rebuilt. Everything now lives on a few clear pages: Account, Residency, Notifications, Tracking & Calendar, Appearance, Connections, and Export & Import.
