New iPhone Mobile Register App Helps Keep You in the Green
AcctPad Mobile Register iPhone App makes its debut in the iTunes App Store. Application promises a clean interface and age old account reporting.
Philadelphia, PA, July 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- After one year of development, Eric Kille, a Business and Engineering major from Drexel University in Philadelphia makes his iPhone App debut with AcctPad™ -- a mobile checkbook register that allows you to balance your checkbook and keep tabs on where your funds are going.
Is it worth the countless late night hours and weekends? Only time will tell. With over 50,000 applications already for sale on the iTunes App Store™, developing a successful iPhone app takes a bit more than just submitting an app to the iTunes App Store, “you need to have a great app, a great website, customer support, and a marketing plan”, Kille says.
Checkbook type applications with category tracking have existed in different forms for years. What sets AcctPad apart is a very simple intuitive interface and advanced features like monthly PDF statements that are downloadable to your PC or Mac over Wi-Fi. “Generating PDF statements from your phone? Who would of thought?” says Kille, a feature not usually found on mobile platforms, and allowing AcctPad to perform as a standalone checkbook register.
AcctPad also features a spreadsheet like table view that shows a monthly breakdown of spending by category. The table builds itself as you enter transactions. “Most category based checkbook applications are heavy on pie charts and line graphs. They look great but are not real useful. Age old accounting is still reported in tables with rows and columns,” he said.
The AcctPad screen layout takes the Goggle™ home page approach, clean and uncluttered. “I used only the visual graphic elements provided by the iPhone’s native SDK” or Software Development Kit, jargon for the building blocks used by software developers to put together iPhone applications said Kille. “The only place where AcctPad deviates from the native SDK is on the numeric keypad used to enter transactions. I wanted to use the full screen so that the buttons would feel very natural under your fingers instead of hunting and pecking.”
