## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-17

RICH FOLKS ON IOS 27, LINK YOUR ACCOUNTS TO APPLE PAY
On iOS 27, I've added account suggestions based on Wallet notifications (beta) – confirm an account once for future payments. I've rebuilt the home screen too – swipe between spending, income and cash flow, hide what you don't need and reorder sections. For transfers, you can enter the amounts sent and received separately. That's all for now – more updates coming soon

### 1.3 — 2026-09-25

ONLINE APPLE PAY COUNTS TOO
On iOS 27, Expensa now logs all Apple Pay payments – previously only at card terminals, now online too. I've also added iCloud sync status to Settings. That's all for now – more updates coming soon

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-23

A READY-MADE APPLE PAY SHORTCUT
On iOS 27 the shortcut arrives with the automation already inside – no video to follow, nothing to assemble by hand. Statement files are read more accurately too, and a wrong transaction can be fixed before it saves. And the app has learned Turkish – it speaks nine languages now, I still speak three.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-08

VOICE, WIDGETS AND A HOLIDAY
Spent a month building, now – a holiday. But not before the biggest update yet.
You can now just say an expense out loud: the amount, the currency, the account, the category, even that it was yesterday. And "every month 500 for the gym" turns into a recurring one.
Also new: widgets (seven, lock screen included), a budget forecast built from your own history, a screen per account, deeper analytics and file import from the main screen. The main screen and categories got noticeably faster.
Write to me if something breaks – I'll read it after the holiday

### 1.1.5 — 2026-07-07

• Redesigned Insights for spending categories
• Bug fixes
• Performance improvements
