Money Forecast: CashFlow

I’ve been using this app for 8-10 years and have loved it because it was simple, fast, and predictable. After 5 YEARS WITHOUT 'ANY' UPDATES, a series of recent redesigns made several cosmetic changes that, in my opinion, HURT USABILITY without adding any real value. The biggest issue is that the SCREEN LAYOUT was COMPLETELY REARRANGED 'just because'. The cash flow chart, which is only a visual summary, is now at the top of the screen, while the estimated transaction amounts, the information users actually need to review and edit every month, are BURIED in smaller font and harder to find. After nearly a decade of muscle memory, everything feels backwards. The RUNNING BALANACE is also displayed much more prominently, while the individual estimated payments (credit cards, utilities, etc.) are visually de-emphasized. Those estimates are what drive the balance, so they should remain the focus. If the goal was simply to modernize the look, please make these layout changes optional. A simple toggle to place the chart at the top or bottom, and another to reduce the emphasis on the running balances, would let new users enjoy the new design without disrupting those of us who have relied on this app for looking more efficiently for a decade. I’m not asking for the new design to be removed. I just want the option to use the layout that made this app so efficient for so many years. Right now, it’s noticeably slower and more frustrating to use than it needs to be.

The app works well for seeing a projected cash flow, but it lacks when tracking finances with current information. If I have a transaction scheduled, I would like the ability to mark it as scheduled for payment. I would also like the ability to adjust the date for a single occurrence of a recurring payment, for example if I pay it early. I also agree with other reviews that a calendar view would be good. I once used a previous app that allowed swiping to Delete or Skip a scheduled transaction. That method was very efficient.

Exactas what I was looking but.......when you delete an existing recurring transaction, it wipes out past recurring transactions, thus adding a credit or reduction in current balance. This is utterly ridiculous. When you change a recurring date, there is no option to just change one date, it changes every other date. I wish there is option to change one date like how on calendars, you can just change one event like a meeting. I cant believe that developers have not figured this out. In addition, decimals dont auto populate and if you wipe out a number to try to just change a number, it wipes out the whole number, which is freakin annoying because you have to remember the whole number again. Utterly ridiculous. Now, if all this is fixed, it will get to be the closest perfect app.
