The epiPhone Coders Guild have released iSpend 4.0, the latest version of this seasoned, professional expense tracker. iSpend, known for longevity and quality, is one of the originals from App Store's opening day and winner of App of the Week from Apple. Business travelers have benefitted from iSpend's experience since that time, enjoying a rich array of easy-to-use features. With iSpend version 4.0 they can backup, share and restore their expense logs, using the free Google Docs service for cloud computing.
iSpend is the brainchild of epiPhone Coders' CTO, Arnie Cachelin. "The hassle and confusion of constructing expense reports long after the trip is done, based only on a handful of crumpled receipts is what inspired this app," he explains. "You lose money and time when your reports aren't accurate. Tracking on the go is critical, and the iPhone promised a powerful and elegant platform for organizing your expenses on the road, while they are still fresh in your mind."
Cachelin successfully developed a solution to the problem with his iSpend application. Users can enter their business and travel expenditures into an expense log, take a photo of the receipt from within the app, email expense reports and much more, right from their iPhone or iPod Touch. Now, users can also take advantage of Google's Document and Spreadsheet cloud computing services not only for for editing, submitting, sharing, and printing their expenses, but also for one-touch backup and restore of the internal expense log data.
The app's interface is flexible and simple to use, with an efficient workflow tailored for fast expense entry on the go. Options such as a collapsible expense list outline, customizable categories and payment types, templates, currency conversion, hourly and mileage rate calculations, as well as a host of other features that make iSpend indispensable to anyone with business or travel receipts.
