Added support for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (at full native resolution).

Added a new advanced setting for the default date when adding a new transaction (last date). I had previously changed the app to use the date of the last transaction entered, however on reflection a setting for this would be better. It now defaults to today (PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE), however if you prefer the new (old!) way, you can set it to use the date of the last transaction entered instead.

Added a couple of new warnings when editing the transaction type and/or accounts on an existing recurring series. These values CANNOT be changed per-occurrence.

Added a new warning about why the transfer amounts might all be zero.

Minor changes to the settings screen.

Minor improvements to the alert (notification) messages.

With the new OS X Yosemite release, Apple have introduced a new feature called iCloud Drive (just like they did with iOS 8 a month ago). This is a bit like Dropbox and promises to be a better way to interface to iCloud itself.

Unfortunately once enabled (ON ANY DEVICE!), all of your files are migrated and they become inaccessible to any device NOT running iOS 8 or Yosemite (OS X). This makes it a bit of a problem for users that need compatibility between multiple OS versions.

For now I would STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to hold off enabling iCloud Drive, unless you can do without iCloud support in my apps.

Having said that, iCloud Drive does work, but clearly only between iOS 8 devices and Mac’s running Yosemite.

Please see Apple’s FAQ on iCloud Drive.

Fixed the iOS 8 display issue on the iPhone 5/5S introduced in my last update. As a reminder, this included the following changes …

Added support for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (at full native resolution).

Added support for the Sims (600m summits) and the Fellranger and Synge (Lake District) lists.

Added a new option to use your device location. This requires agreeing to a disclaimer to NOT rely on/use it for navigation purposes, which I hope is common sense. In other words … IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK ALL THE INFORMATION PROVIDED AND TO NAVIGATE USING A MAP AND COMPASS! Once enabled, the maps will show your current location, and there is a new option per hill that shows roughly how far you are away from the summit.

Upgraded to version 14.1 of the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH).

The AppStore has changed over the past few years, with falling revenues from new apps sales (around a 75% decline for me). Developers are having to find new ways of generating income, through ads, in-app purchases or simply developing more and more apps (and abandoning each one).

While I do have some in-app purchases for non-essential features, I prefer to support my work through ongoing updates (see Account Tracker – 60 updates and counting). As a user, you benefit from many new features, as well as ongoing bug fixes to keep up with iOS changes and new hardware. Sadly there is no viable revenue model for this. 😦

I have therefore added a donation button to my website to let users contribute. Here are a few scenarios where a small (69p/€0.89/$0.99) amount MIGHT be appropriate …

1. Apple come out with a completely new version of iOS that changes the underlying behaviour. This happened with iOS 8 causing two crashes in Account Tracker that could not possibly have been foreseen in advance.

2. Apple come out with new hardware, requiring development work to support. The iPad is the obvious example, however the iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus all required code changes to be properly supported at their native resolutions.

3. Any update that adds a new feature you REALLY like.

Hopefully through new app sales, in-app purchases and donations, I might be able to make a living off this full time! 🙂

Many thanks for your ongoing support – it really is appreciated!

With iOS 8, Apple have introduced a new marketing feature on the AppStore called App Bundles. This lets developers bundle and sell their applications together at a discounted rate.

I am not sure how well this will work, but I thought I’d give it a try. I have created a bundle of my two finance apps, Account Tracker and Meter Readings, at a discounted rate of £2.49 (UK) or $3.99 (US), i.e. 70-80% of the combined individual prices.

Note that this is not just for new customers. If you have purchased one of these apps, you can “complete” your bundle by simply paying the difference between the bundle price and the price you paid.

So if you have Account Tracker, get my Meter Readings app at a big discount (or vice versa).

See Accounts + Meters Bundle on iTunes.

More iOS 8 compatibility fixes, including the two crashes. Both were caused by behaviour changes in iOS 8 itself that weren’t apparent in the many betas. As a reminder, all known issues are fully documented on my support page, with workarounds when available.

Added 1Password integration on the PIN entry screen. If you use 1Password, simply tap the icon to launch the app, copy your password, then return to Account Tracker to paste it in. This is a bit crude, but is all they support just now.
