App update: Version 2.0.0
Yayyy Pockett 2.0 is finally released! 🎉
This major update has been a long time in the making, and we’re super excited to share all the brand new features with you.
📈 Brand new investment portfolio tracker and widgets (Pockett Plus only)
You can now track your stocks, crypto, ETFs, forex, and mutual funds from over 70+ exchanges worldwide!
This is by far the biggest feature of Pockett 2.0. Implementing investment tracking was a huge challenge both from a design and technical perspective. Two key design considerations we had were:
- the investment tracking part of Pockett has to meld in seamlessly with the rest of the app which was originally designed for accounts tracking; and
- it should function independently and should not affect the user experience for those who do not require investment tracking.
We’re pretty happy with the way it turned out, but do give it a try and let us know what you think!
With the addition of investment tracking, we’ve also added brand new dashboard widgets that are incredibly useful for getting intelligent insights into your portfolio performance.
📄 Generate PDF reports (Pockett Plus only)
One of our most highly requested feature, you can now generate PDF reports of your accounts, income, and expenses!
📁 Local backup/restore data
Six months ago, when we released the data backup feature to Google Drive, we received feedback from many of you that you’d prefer to have the option to back up your data to the local storage of your device. We’re excited to say that you can now do so! This feature will now allow you to manage your data manually, and will function even when there is no internet connection.
Here’s how you can backup and restore your data manually to and from the local storage of your device:
- In settings, under Data Backup, select “Local Storage” as the destination of your back up
- Select a local folder on your device to back up to
- Once your back up is complete, you should find a zip file in your local folder which contains your latest Pockett data
📱Home screen shortcuts
Another highly requested feature, you can now add income/expense transactions quickly via long press on the Pockett app icon on the Home Screen of your device. This should make adding income and expense transactions a whole lot quicker than before!
Assign custom account type as “asset” or “liability”
You can now assign your custom account categories as an asset or liability. Previously, custom account types were classified as “other” by default.

🔧 Other improvements
Future-dated transactions: You can now add transactions that are dated in the future. Do note that your dashboard will only show transactions up till today, but your future-dated transactions will be shown in the respective accounts in your MyPocket page.
More customisation options for donut and bar charts: You can now specify specific transactions types (e.g. by merchant, category, or tags) to be included in your donut and bar chart widgets.
Auto light/dark mode based on system settings
Passcode screen: We fixed a bug on the passcode screen which allowed a bypass when tapping on the back button of an android device
If you’re enjoying Pockett, we’d really appreciate it if you’d consider leaving a review on the App Store or Play Store. Thank you! 😊
