1.6.3 Oct 21
PocketLog gets more new looks, credit card statement and installment tracking, and support for 26 more languages.
WHAT’S NEW
• New decorative themes: Capybara, Ocean, Honeybee and Greek Myths, each with its own mascot, icons and illustrations
• Credit card statement tracking: set the statement closing date and see your opening balance owed, activity during the cycle, full or minimum payment due, and days left until the due date. The app also estimates interest if you only pay the minimum and the interest-free period for purchases made today
• Credit card installments: add an installment plan directly from a card statement and see the number of payments, monthly amount and payment schedule. Outstanding installment principal not yet billed reduces your available credit and counts toward your total debt
• Loans: record the next payment, an extra principal repayment or an early payoff in just a few steps
• The monthly calendar on Home now opens in its own screen: tap a day to see transactions, look ahead to future months with upcoming recurring entries and subscriptions, and view recorded and projected entries separately
• A usage-streak widget on the app’s Home screen, synced across devices
• 26 more languages, including German, French, Korean, Russian, Thai, Simplified Chinese and many others
IMPROVEMENTS
• New experimental feature: category suggestions when adding transactions are larger and easier to tap, with empty slots filled by categories you haven’t used yet
• The Appearance card in Settings is more compact and easier to choose from. New themes appear right away without switching tabs
• A more compact Home layout on iPad, closer to the Mac layout
• The menu bar on Mac now lets you select parent categories
BUG FIXES
• Fixed expenses not appearing in the menu bar on Mac
1.6.2 Oct 17
Widgets are here! Plus a new Financial pulse card, portfolio and savings analysis, and Standalone accounts for money you want kept apart.
WHAT'S NEW
• Home Screen widgets: Financial pulse, Quick add, Net worth, Budgets, Account, Invest and Current finances, each in several sizes. Quick add is free for everyone; the others come with Premium.
• A Financial pulse card on Home shows what you earned and spent today, this week or this month, how it compares with the period before, and a short tip.
• Portfolio analysis on the Assets screen: profit and loss against cost, your best and weakest holdings, how concentrated your portfolio is, and how long you usually hold.
• Savings analysis on the Savings screen: a breakdown by term, expected interest, upcoming maturities, and a heads-up when one bank pays much less than another. Free for everyone.
• Standalone accounts: turn this on for a group fund or money you hold for others. Its balance and transactions stay out of your totals, History and Stats.
IMPROVEMENTS
• The Spending Pyramid is no longer hidden in Experimental settings. It now has its own spot under Utilities in the Tools tab (formerly Reports).
• Data management now lives in Settings → Data, alongside backup and restore.
• Syncing with iCloud and opening the app feel lighter and faster.

• Added Indonesian, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Hebrew. Arabic and Hebrew use a right-to-left layout

• iCloud sync picks up new data more often
BUG FIXES
• Fixed several iCloud sync issues
1.6.0 Oct 3
Just a small update with a few bug fixes and an experimental data management feature. But the real reason is I wanted to change the App Store cover image. And on a side note, it also marks the moment I became unemployed :D
WHAT'S NEW
• Estimate how many days you could get by if you lost your income. Based on your current assets and average spending, the app estimates how long you could keep going without any income.
• Data Usage screen. See how much storage the app is using and clear some up if needed.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Settings no longer sync via iCloud (except a few special features). Reduces unnecessary data conflicts between devices.
• Faster app launch with a shorter loading screen.
• Improved sync speed with less stutter.
• Polished the Asset Overview screen, the To-do screen, and a few popups.
• Improved the Mac interface and animated background effects.
BUG FIXES
• Fixed the Overview not updating the current value correctly after a partial asset settlement.
• Fixed world gold/silver prices not showing per-oz.
• Fixed an unnecessary data-conflict popup appearing.
• Fixed the onboarding flow showing incorrectly when local data already existed, blocking iCloud restore.
• Fixed recurring savings transactions generating unnecessary extra entries.
• Shared accounts can no longer be used for accumulation transactions, to avoid related errors.
1.5.1 Sep 11
This update wasn't really urgent, but I had some free time so here it is. I've realised there are actually people out there using this app besides me. Thank you for the support ^^

• The gold/silver chart now shows both the buy price (green) and the sell price (red), each with its own price marker and touch point as you drag across the chart.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Restructured the Background screen: pick the background image and the effect separately, and the Dynamic background section is gone since it's no longer needed.
• Removed the date restrictions when logging asset transactions — pick any date, except a savings plan's maturity date which still has to come after the start date.
• Less stutter when using an animated background.
• A few small tweaks to the spending pyramid.
