After months of working and reworking, I’m happy to announce that TapExpense 2.0 is now available on the App Store.

TapExpense is an expense tracker for iPhone and iPod Touch. Version 1 started with a simple design. It supported multiple currency (a major feature) and could export data as CSV-formatted email text. Version 2 is a rewrite. It now exports XLS spreadsheet files. It also supports income categories, vendor/payee/source field, and group/trip field. It now uses a numeric keypad to speed up entering records, and has a passcode lock that lets you show off your other iPhone apps while keeping personal finances discreet.

All the new features, while keeping the fundamental design that aims to keep the balance between workflow simplicity and feature richness.

And we have a gorgeous icon too!

The road to 2.0 was a long journey. My colleagues and I have learned a lot from the process. TapExpense 1.2 was the expense tracker I enjoy using everyday. TapExpense 2.0 is a software product I’m proud of and I want to tell everyone about it.

So if you’re an iPhone or iPod Touch owner, and if you’re looking for an expense tracker, reading this blog entry, be sure to check it out and give it a try.

We even have a lite version that has every feature of the paid version and is fully functional. It neither expires or annoys. The sole limitation is that it only shows, reports and exports the latest 7 entries in any given date range. And you can continue using it adding as many entries as you like. Later, if you decide this is the application for you and you buy it, you can always transfer all your entries in the lite version to the paid version. It’s just that easy.

In the coming weeks I’m going to write more about TapExpense 2.0, about the new features in detail, about the nuance in the decisions of adding or dropping a feature, and about what we have learned from our users and our own usage.

Before then, find out more on the App Store: TapExpense, TapExpense Lite. And Lithoglyph company website. The paid version is USD 4.99 (or the equivalent of it in Europe and other stores). Existing user gets free upgrade.

And let us know how we can make it serve you better too.

Thank you!
