This application was born from personal experience in the attempt to rein in my expenses which I failed to do using the existing iphone apps due to complicated expenses input. To facilitate quick expenses capture "Two Pounds Fifty" is optimized for one hand, two taps expense recording. The first tap choses the closest approximate amount of those suggested and the second selects the goods paid. This is enough information to produce a very useful report to later determine where did all the money disappear.
Have you ever wondered where did all the money go?
I wondered lots of times as on each month’s end I used to get shocked to see I spent way more than I though I did. I just could not recollect what had I bought to spend so much money. Bank statements were not very helpful as I use ATMs a lot. I have tried using several iphone apps to track my expenses but they turned out to be impossible to use consistently to enter relevant expenses I make on the go. They all require fiddling with the iphone’s keyboard, two hands use and so on - way too much time and hassle to capture each transaction when its made.
So in the attempt to rein in my expenses this application was born. It is optimized to enable input of the on the go expense information as easy and hassle free as possible. The trick is that the information need not be 100% accurate to later give a very good idea where the money was spent."Two Pounds Fifty" does not try to provide a tool for full detailed accurate account tracking although it does support entering amounts and goods descriptions via iphone keyboard on top of the buttons interface.
This app is all about ease of expenses tracking, enough to analyse the expenses and to give the idea how and where to save money.
