Would you like to control your expenses?
Would you like to know on what kind of things you spend the most money?
Are you tired of entering all the data step by step?

If the answer to the above questions is yes, Easy Cash is just what you need.

To add expense in Easy Cash you need 3 clicks… including application launch and press 'Done'

=== VIDEO ===

or http://tinyurl.com/YTube-EasyCash

or just click 'Easy Cash Support' link

Most of the software used for controlling expenses requires the data to be entered manually which takes a lot of time, and as we know even the best software is worthless if it doesn’t have the right data.

Easy Cash focuses on the process of adding expenses; to add a new transaction, in most of the cases, you need no more than 3-10 seconds (including the time necessary for launching the application on original iPhone).

How is it possible?

Easy Cash introduces a completely new kind of approach, an approach that is completely different the ones present in similar applications.

After launching the application you have up to 40 buttons which you can configure and to which you can assign the most frequently made transactions, especially the ones which we considered the most time-consuming to be entered and that have the biggest influence of our expenses. On this screen you can put, for example, the expenses connected with transport (e.g. bus ticket), everyday shopping, or even the morning coffee from a vending machine.

All you need to do is to press a given button. During configuration you can also enter the typical price for that expense, in such case you need EXACTLY three clicks to enter the data

1 – launching the application
2 – choosing the right button
3 – click „done”

And actually that’s all… (Sorry… one more for close Easy Cash ☺)

You also have a list of favourite, but not so often made transactions, where you can put an indefinite number of items and sort them as you wish. The built-in search engine allows you to find the one you need.

Apart from being easy in use, Easy Cash is flexible and allows you to enter manually any kind of transaction and add it immediately to your List of Favourites.

It’s needless to say that such functions like browsing, editing or deleting transactions are very easy in use. You can browse through them according to the date, sort them according to their name or value, as well as browse through their graphic representations.

Easy Cash is not designed to control your income or the amount of money that you currently have in your pocket, yet, it brings controlling your expenses to a completely new level.

When launching the application for the first time you will come across some hints that are worth reading, because they will allow you to configure all the necessary data.
You can also enter some exemplary data which later on you can delete in the configuration menu.

To see how Easy Cash is easy to use you can download the Lite version, which is a fully functional version of the application, with the exception of the upper limit of 50 transactions to be saved. Caution – there is no possibility of exporting and importing the configuration of the buttons and the names of categories.

upcoming update will include:
Export Transaction Data added.
Change font size for favorite labels added.
OS 3.0+ compatibility enhancement.
