Recurring transactions and other improvements

App update: Version 1.0.2

Recurring transactions

Yayyyy, you can now add recurring transactions to Pockett!

We were really ambitious with this feature and wanted to create a workflow that is super versatile and that would work for every possible scenario —  think Uber ride expenses every alternate Tuesday and Friday, or freelance income on the 6th and 22nd of every month.

As a result, there were quite a few challenges that took longer than expected to resolve. All that aside, we are so excited to share the recurring transactions feature with you!

Check out the gif below to see how you can add a recurring transaction. In this example, the transaction is set to recur on the 6th and 22nd of every month.

Hot tip: You can find all your recurring transactions in the menu page and see when they’re scheduled for next.

Other improvements

  • Calendar: The calendar view is now collapsible to display more transactions.
  • Savings goal: The target date for savings goals is now extended to 35 years.
  • Dashboard: We fixed a bug where the line and spline chart widgets were displaying incorrect balances when different timelines were selected.
  • MyPocket: We fixed a bug where the account balance shows up incorrectly if the initial balance is changed.
  • Email verification: The Pockett app will now launch automatically if the email verification link is accessed from a mobile device that has the app installed.

New email hosting service, unlock with Face ID, and other improvements

App update: Version 1.0.1

New email hosting service

A couple of days after we launched, Outlook/Hotmail started blocking emails from our server for some unknown reason. This meant that many of those who signed up with an Outlook/Hotmail account between 1st to 3rd April were unable to get their verification emails. 

Once we realized what was happening, we fixed this as quickly as we could by switching to another email hosting service. To those who were affected by the down time, we’re terribly sorry. 😔

One good thing that came out of this though was that our emails no longer go to spam after the switch (or so we think?). Do let us know at support@pockett.app if you experience otherwise! 🙃

Unlock with Face ID

In addition to using a passcode or Touch ID, iPhone users can now use Face ID to unlock the app for extra security.

Other improvements

  • Monthly budget: We fixed a bug that prevented the removal of budget amount allocated to specific categories. 
  • Savings goal: We fixed a bug where the available savings were not showing correctly.
  • Dashboard: We fixed a bug where percentage changes were shown for the just numbers widget (e.g. income & expense widgets). This change will not apply to existing widgets. However, you can easily update this yourself by adding new income & expense default widgets or a new just numbers widget.

What’s next?

We have a long list of features that we want to add to Pockett. You’ll see in the app that we’re working on making bank connections and smart scanning of receipts possible. These features are complex and costly to implement to say the least, but we really want to make them happen. We are also working on enabling recurring transactions. If there is something else that you absolutely want to see in Pockett, do drop us a line at support@pockett.app. 

Pockett is entirely free to use, and it’s future development relies on how many people use and find it helpful. We’d be super thrilled if you join us on this journey and make Pockett your personal finance companion that grows with you!
