■ Apple Recommendation App ■ Inspiration and Ideas - I used to keep accounts for a whole year, as small as eating and riding, as big as mobile phones and computers, each one will be clearly recorded. Later, it was found that such book-keeping was very tired and wasted a lot of debris time. - Later I give up keeping recording, how wonderful life was and how free and easy it was to spend money. - But I always think that accounting should be optimized. I don't think that each consumption needs to be recorded. Only by recording specific events can we get twice the result with half the effort. - Such things as a trip, a wedding, a pet, a decoration, a business and so on are worth recording. Reasonable planning ensures that the whole project does not exceed the budget, careful records ensure that details are not pulled down, and can be used for reference for the next time. - So I designed and developed the Flash Ledger. Different projects use different bookkeeping records and different scenarios have different preset classifications, which greatly improves the efficiency and essential role of bookkeeping. ■ Function Introduction - Template Preset: Provide customized templates for wedding, decoration, pets, learning, business, etc. - Quick Record: There are no complicated steps and one consumption can be made in two steps at a time. - Small Calculator: No need to switch back and forth between the calculator and Flash Ledger. - Chart Statistics: support pie chart and histogram. - Currency Multi Choices: Support multiple currencies (¥ $ € £) in one ledger. - Exchange rate conversion: real time access to the current currency exchange rate, according to the current exchange rate calculation statistics - Budget Setting: you can set monthly budget or total budget to remind yourself. - Hide Ledger: Some secret account ledgers can be hidden manually. - Back Up: Save important information in the cloud without fear of loss (Premium). - Custom Type: Create your own appropriate category (Premium). - Export XLS: Each ledger can export CSV / XLS files for easy editing in Excel (Premium). - Global Search: You can quickly locate historical consumption by Inputting type, amount or notes (Premium). - Consumption Reminder: Set future budget items and remind yourself to record on time (Premium). ■ About Me - Personal works Apple Recommend App: Flash Ledger, Lover List, Easy Period, Time Arrow, Sun & Moon - Contact Information My Email: hanchongzan@icloud.com If you have any suggestions and ideas, you can send messages me at any time. I will continue to develop more good applications. ■ Terms of Use Flash Ledger Premium Subscription(Premium - Yearly Subscription) is a subscription-based paid-up service, which means that you will pay in advance for future use of the service.
