I use Emma Pro to track and analyze my spending over time as spending buckets (categories).
The only reason I am paying for the Pro is to be able to add custom categories, as the current categories are very limited. To me, this should be a free feature, but I am comfortable paying for it for now.
A few categories I have added are “Work Lunch”, “Flights”, “Subscriptions”.
Two additions I would like to see are:
- The ability to see the categories named in the transaction list (see my mock-up below).
- The streamlining of the number of clicks it takes to edit the category of a transaction. It currently takes 6 clicks, which is very tedious when changing several transactions. I suggest you integrate the ability to swipe each transaction to directly edit the category, versus a click to see the transaction detail (see my mock-up below). One swipe to enter the edit category list, and one click to change the category, immediately returning you to transaction list. Only ask me about editing similar transactions if they exist, there is no need to have a screen asking me to “Apply edit to 1 transaction” or the “Perfect let’s go back” screen, as clicking through these screens is such a waste of time.
