Hi! 1st time posting, but is there any way to have regular income added? So we can actually see our true balance? ---

Any timeframe on when regular income payments might be introduced? This is the one feature missing that makes me go looking in the App Store for an alternative app to Emma. ---

We have an engineer working on improving the detection of recurring payments; as part of this work, we are introducing regular income detection. This will be reflected in the recurring payments list as well as the true balance in the app. ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Built of the back of this could Emma automatically detect and reset budget dates i get paid monthly but none of the presets work all the time so if it can detect my pay then automatically start the next budget period that would be great ---

We are going to deploy a new algo for better recurring payments detection - this should detect non obvious things. As part of this work, we have also included positive payments which weโ€™ll rollout at a later stage - in order news, we have it. ๐Ÿ˜‰ ---

We need to wait a bit longer for this, but the work is in place we are just testing everything. ---

Does the UI work the same as recurring payments and does the recurring income connect the the budget dates so if you are paid early does the budget restart ---
