## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.7.0 — 2026-09-08

See what's behind a category

Tap a category in Charts (on Month or Year) to slide up a list of the expenses that make up that total. Now, a heavy month in Food is just one tap away from an explanation instead of a guess.

Group expenses now show your share—matching the figure used across the rest of the app—and repeating expenses appear on each actual date they occurred, rather than stacked on the day you created them.

Plus, a range of bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 3.6.3 — 2026-09-01

Bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 3.6.2 — 2026-08-26

Notifications you can count on

Fixed an issue that could leave notifications switched off inside the app, even though they were still allowed in iOS Settings. If it affected you, the switch turns itself back on the next time you open Node Expense — there's nothing you need to change.

Plus a range of bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 3.6.1 — 2026-08-25

Top Locations, a year at a time

Charts now lets you step Top Locations through one year at a time, so you can see where a single year's spending actually went instead of a lifetime ranking that barely moves. All time is still what you land on, so nothing you already look at has changed until you go looking for it. The stepper only offers years you actually have located expenses in, so it can never strand you on an empty screen.

Each place now shows its name above its address, which makes a list of nearby spots far easier to tell apart at a glance.

Plus a range of bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 3.6.0 — 2026-08-19

Payment Methods, now with Zelle, LINE and WeChat

Everything you use to get paid back is in one place: Settings › Payment Methods, one tap from the main Settings list instead of tucked inside Data & Privacy. A single screen holds them all — Venmo, Cash App, PayPal.Me and Apple Cash under One-Tap Payment, and Zelle, LINE and WeChat under the new Copy & Pay. Enter the phone or email your bank uses for Zelle, or your LINE or WeChat ID, and that's it: no separate screen per service and nothing to fill in twice.

The two sections tell whoever is paying you what to expect. One-Tap Payment opens the app when a group member settles up with you. Copy & Pay opens nothing — they see your details, tap Copy, and pay you in the app you both already use. Zelle works in the US; LINE Pay and WeChat Pay work where they're available. Your payment methods are shared privately with members of your groups.

Your profile moved to the top of Settings as well, so the name your group sees is where you would look for it.

Plus a range of bug fixes and stability improvements.
