User's Guide

The purpose of this app is to allow users to keep track of their expenses and expenditure, by giving them a low friction path to record down their expenditures on a mobile phone. Any expenditures recorded can be reviewed (and even edited!) at a later date if necessary, and can be viewed in aggregate on the analytics page for a user to spot trends (time or location) in his spending. This system also allows a user to track debts which are attached to expenditure, with the expected use case being debts from split checks at restaurants or similar

 I. Home (Records Page).

  • This page allows the user to immediately record their spending and track it based on their location.
  • Back-end for the site has not been implemented so the "Track Spending" and "Submit" buttons currently display alerts instead their prespective tasks.
  • The User can input the amount spent, type of spending and either "Add Debits" if the spending is related with a person, or submit if it's a transaction.

...

  • The Debits page allows the user to see who they owe money and who they lent money too.
  • It's in the form of a list view showing the most recent transactions first.
  • When the user selects one of the people's names on the debts list they can see the history of transactions between them and the person.
     
    • The user can input  
    •  
  • Clicking on an individual debt in that list will bring up a page showing that particular transaction, allowing the user to edit it. Currently, it's just static.

IV. Analyze

  • Allows the user to analyize their transactions through 3 different view forms.
  • The map and graph views are static, but clicking on an item in the list view brings you to that item's record page. For now, that is just static: it is meant to allow editing of the record, but the back end doesn't exist yet
