1. Overview of functions
With this app you can manage your daily income and
expenses to get a better overview of your financial
situation.

You can manage multiple accounts and transfer

money between them (known as "transfer").

Each transaction can be assigned to a (self-defined)

category (e.g. shopping, food, home, car or petrol).
With this information you can calculate and display
statistics.

You have also the ability to create recurring

transactions for your salary, rent or insurance etc.
These transactions are generated directly after
creating the recurring transaction to give you a better
long-term overview. Of course, future transactions
can also be hidden at any time so that these
transactions only indicate when the due date has
been reached.

To speed up the creation of transactions, you can

define your own templates (e.g. shopping or petrol)
which you can use when entering new transactions.

You have the ability to view your current balance or

your monthly balance over several months. You can
also save or sent your transactions as HTML, Excel
or CSV file to view or print them on your pc. In
addition,
.
there are. several display options for
visualizing your data.

By creating a backup (*.mhs), you can transfer all

data to your PC and have it protected from damaging
your device. Please use the backup function to
ensure that you have saved your complete data
because the CSV export contains only the
transactions and is intended for exchange with other
programs.

To import your existing data or your real account

statements, you can use the CSV import. So you can
import transactions from your bank or other
programs. As we do not know the CSV formats of all
(worldwide) banks or programs, this feature can only
be extended if you send us a sample file.

2. Basic operations
The main functions of the app are accessible via the
following tabs: "Overview", "Transactions",
"Statistics", "Diagram" and "Budgets". With the action
menu at the top you can select additional
commands. By clicking on the icon at the top left or
by swiping from left to right, you can open a menu
with some managing functions and other useful
functions. In the right pane of the action bar, you can
find more commands that are displayed depending
on the current page. For example you can sort the
displayed data, etc.
You can adjust the period using the arrow keys or the
month/year buttons. In the month selection, you can
also select quarters, half years or all months.

Via the funnel icon, you can filter the displayed data
by various criteria and time periods. If you activate
the search period in the filter, the arrow keys move
the relevant period by the intervening days. For
example, you can scroll between the different weeks
if you select a weekly time period.
If the data is filtered, the funnel icon will be displayed
in red to indicate that possibly not all entries are
visible. To reset the filter, select the funnel icon again
and click "Clear fields" and select "OK" or just long
press on the red funnel icon.

The bottom sum bar contains the selected view, the

amount, the selected accounts and the chosen time
period. Clicking on this area opens the selection
dialog where you can change the selected accounts.

The view menu (eye icon in the action menu) allows

you to specify which transactions should be
displayed and included in the balance. The following
views are available:

Current balance: All transactions will be

displayed for the selected period. The
balance includes the opening balance and all
transactions of the previous months up to
the selected period.
 Monthly balance: All transactions will be
displayed for the selected period and
included in the balance.

Monthly expenses: All expenses will be

displayed for the selected period and
included in the balance.

Monthly income: All income will be displayed

for the selected period and included in the
balance.

In addition there are the following options, which can

be combined with the mentioned views:

Daily balance: The daily balance considers

all transactions up to the present day in the
balance. Future transactions are still visible,
but grayed out. These are not included in the
balance.

Hide future transactions: All future

transactions are not displayed and not
included in the balance.

Ignore uncleared transactions: If you have

activated the clearing status in the general
settings of the app in order to reconcile your
transactions with your bank statement or to
mark transactions as paid, you can quickly
choose if uncleared transactions should be
ignored in the balance.
 Ignore Transfers: Transfers between two
accounts are not considered. The transfers
are still visible, but grayed out. In the view of
"Current balance" transfers are always
included in the balance. There, this option
has no effect, because the view "Current
balance" should reflect your real account
balance.

3. Getting Started
To help you get started with the app, the following
steps should be performed at the beginning.

3.1 Setting up accounts

At first, go to the management menu (click on the
top left icon or swipe from left to right) to select the
"Account Management" and enter your existing
accounts such as checking account, credit card,
cash, etc. Enter your opening balance for every
account (the money that you have available for each
account when you start using the app).

There was already an account set up during

installation. You can rename the existing entry by
selecting the account. You can set up a new account
using the "New (+)" button.

Hint: You can quickly choose the account selection

within the app by clicking on the bottom area with
your balance. If you long click on an account, you
can edit or delete it directly.

3.2 Setting up recurring transactions

Via the menu item "Recurring transactions" in the
"Management" menu, you can define your recurring
transactions such as salary, rent, insurance or loan
rates. The generated transactions can also be
changed separately at a later date.

If you don't select an expiration date, the recurring

transactions are always created for 2 years in the
future. Every time the app starts, the app checks if
new recurring transactions must be created. So you
have always your unlimited recurring transactions for
the next 2 years.

If you enter an expiration date, the transactions of

the recurring transaction are created completely up
to the expiration date. So you can also enter
transactions in advance for more than 2 years.

3.3 Setting up templates

Via the menu item "Templates" in the "Management"
menu, you can define templates to speed up the
creation of transactions. For frequently used
transactions, e.g. shopping or petrol, you can pre-
assign all the fields as desired, so you don't need to
type it every time when you create a transaction.
3.4 Creating transactions
Once you have configured the app, you can enter
your income and expenses by clicking on the lower
right + icon.

In order to create a transaction, specify a title, date,

amount and an account or use a template. When
creating a new transaction the selected account and
the current date are preset. If you don't enter a title,
the name of the category will be used as title.

Via the autofill function, after entering a title, all the

other fields such as comment, amount, category and
account are automatically preassigned based on
previous transactions with the same title.

A recurring transaction is specified by the values of

"Date", "Expiration Date" and "Period". These values
can only completely be changed subsequently via
the menu item "Recurring transactions" in the
"Management" menu.

If you want to transfer money on another account,

you can create a transfer. If you create a transfer, you
must specify a source and a target account. This
creates an expense on your source account and an
income on the target account. These transactions
are linked together and will be changed or deleted at
the same time. You can also create a recurring
transfer, for example if you want to save a fixed
amount each month.
To add a transaction into the watch list ("Watching"),
the checkbox "Watch" can be activated. The
checkbox "Watch" can be enabled in the general
settings.

To mark a transaction as paid, the checkbox

"Cleared" can be activated. The checkbox "Cleared"
can be activated in the general settings.

To save multiple transactions sequentially, you can

click on the button "Save & New" from the action
menu.

3.5 Add photos

You can add photos (e.g. receipts) to each
transaction. Select the menu item "Add photo" when
entering a transaction. Now you have the possibility
to take a photo with your camera app or link an
existing photo from the gallery of your device.

When you take a photo, it will be saved in the "Photo

folder" which can be configured in the general
settings of the app.

When you link a photo from your gallery, only the

reference of the photo is saved and the photo
remains unchanged in the selected path.

The photos are not saved in the (automatic) backups

regardless of whether they have been assigned in
the "Photo folder" of the app or via the gallery
because this would occupy a lot of memory and
backup and restore would take a very long time.
Therefore, you should back up your photos as your
normal photos manually.
However, when you create a manual backup via the
menu item "Create backup", you can choose the
options "Backup photos" and "Optimize photos".
Then the photos are added to the manual backup.
This is useful, for example, if you want to transfer all
data including photos to a new device.
If you select the option "Optimize photos", the
photos are reduced for the backup to 1280x1 024
pixels in order to save space in the backup. Of
course, the original photos are not changed.

In general, you should not include your photos in the

backups due to space and performance reasons. If
you want to access your photos from multiple
devices, you should synchronize them, for example,
with a sync app like Dropsync. You can find more
information about Dropsync in the chapter
"Synchronization".

4. Dialogues
4.1 Overview
In this view you can control your income and
expenses over several months. You can configure
the number of months and the number of months in
the past in the settings ("General/Overview"). The
bars show your account balance dependinq on your
income, the selected account and the selected filter
criteria. Here, the green bar (income) moves from
left to right, the more expenses (red) you enter. The
red bar increases accordingly.

By clicking on a bar you will get the transactions for

the selected month. Here you can edit or delete
transactions.

If you have a negative balance, the bar is completely

red. A yellow line marks the point of when the
income has been exceeded and you can see how
much money you have overdrawn your account. If
there are only expenses and no income, the bar is
completely red.

In the view of "Current balance" the previous months

and the opening balance are considered in the
amount. The values in brackets refer always to the
displayed month.

In the view of "Monthly balance" all values refer to

the displayed month.

In the view of "Monthly expenses" only the expenses

are displayed relative to the other months in red.

In the view of "Monthly income" only the income are

displayed relative to the other months in green.

The view can be changed via the eye icon in the

action menu at the top.
In addition, you can sort the entries in ascending or
descending order by date.

4.2 Transactions
Here you see all transactions for the selected time
period (month, quarter, half year or every month), the
selected accounts and the selected filter criteria
(funnel icon). Via the action menu, you can sort the
transactions by date, date (grouped with daily
balance), date (grouped with current balance),
amount, title or category.

In this list, the income are marked green and the

expenses are marked red. A symbol indicates the
type of transaction (recurring transaction or
transfer).

By clicking on an entry you get into the details of the

transaction. In this dialog you can modify or delete
the transaction. If you long click on an entry, the
transaction can be edited, copied, used as template,
deleted or marked as cleared.

4.3 Statistics
In the statistics, the transactions are accumulated
and displayed according to their categories. The
displayed amount depends on the selected time
period, the selected accounts and the selected filter
criteria. If you click on a category, all transactions of
the corresponding main or sub-category are
displayed
There are always the main categories with the
corresponding subcategories displayed. When you
enter a transaction directly on a main category, this
is also displayed to indicate the amount that was
recognized directly to the main category. When you
enter your transactions only on a main category, it is
listed twice.

For analysis purposes, you should always create

transactions on a subcategory.

In the views of "Monthly expenses" or "Monthly

income", the percentage distribution is also
displayed.

In addition, you have the option to group the

statistics via the menu item "Group by" in the top
action menu by accounts and if enabled, also by
persons, groups and payment types.

4.4 Diagram (Pie, bar and line chart)

Click on the "Diagram" tab to see the last saved
diagram mode. Then by further clicking on the
"Diagram" tab, you can switch between the modes of
pie, bar and line chart.

The pie and bar chart shows in the views of "Current

balance" or "Monthly balance" the income and
expenses graphically.
In the views "Monthly expenses" or "Monthly
income" the main categories are visualized. The view
can be chanqed via the eye icon in the action menu.
The data always refers to the selected time period,
the selected accounts and the selected filter criteria.

When you filter in the views "Monthly expenses" or

"Monthly income" by a main category, the
subcategories are displayed.

You can also click on an entry in the pie or bar chart.

In the views "Current balance" or "Monthly balance"
the corresponding main categories are displayed
when you click on expenses or income.
If you click on a main category, the subcategories
are displayed (+ the clicked main category, if
transactions were created directly on the main
category). By clicking on a subcategory, the
transactions are shown grouped by title and it can
possibly be further deepened.

To move one level back, just click outside of an entry

in the chart.

In addition, you have the option to group the pie and

bar chart via the menu item "Group by" in the top
action menu by accounts and if enabled, also by
persons, groups and payment types.

The line chart shows the amount of income and

expenses over time. Here, also the different views
are taken into account to see the progress of the
account balance or month.

4.5 Budgets
You have the ability to define budgets for various
criteria. For example, you can set a monthly limit for
refueling or a weekly limit for food etc. You can also
define limits for accounts such as credit cards or
define limits for payment types. Furthermore, it can
be determined whether recurring budgets should be
transferred in the next periods. In addition, you can
adjust the limit in recurring budgets for individual
time periods, if you have a month more or less
money to spend.

4.5.1 Creating budgets

At first, enter a name for the new budget such as "My
weekly food". If you do not enter a name, but select a
category, the name of the category (e.g. food) is
used. If you want to describe the budget even further
or if you want to capture keywords, you can use the
"Comment" field.

Now select the amount, which shall not exceed the

budget. For example, set a limit of weekly expenses
for food. Then select the category on which you save
your food when creating an expense. Now select the
date from when the budget is to be calculated for the
first time. Then select the period (e.g. every week) in
order to set the time period for the budget. In the
field "Budget ends on", you can specify how long a
recurring budget should be created. If you want to
transfer a budget to the next period, select the option
"Rollover balance". For example, you have defined a
weeki bud et for urchases of $50 and have onl
spend $30 in the first week, the remaining budget of
$20 will be transferred to the next period and then
you have a budget of $70.

The selection of a payment type, category or

account is not necessary. If you do not fill these
fields, the criteria are ignored and all entries are
taken into account regardless of payment type,
category or account. Then, the budget is valid for all
payment types, categories and accounts. You can
also combine the criteria. For example, select the
category for refueling of your "Cash" account and
define another budget with the same category but
your "Current account".

4.5.2 View budgets

On the "Budgets" tab, the generated budgets will be
displayed for the selected period.

The bar chart shows for each budget the remaining

budget in green and in red the already spent money.
If the budget amount is exceeded, the bar is
displayed completely red. A yellow line marks the
point of when the budget has been exceeded and
you can see how much money you have overdrawn
your budget. The first amount below each bar chart
always shows the remaining budget. In brackets you
will see your defined budget and the total of the
calculated transactions.
If you have selected the option "Rollover balance" for
a recurring budget, the transferred amount of the
previous budget is also displayed in brackets next to
the amount of your budget and it is also taken into
account.

If you click on a budget item, you can select the

menu item "View transactions" to show the
considered transactions.

You can also change the budget for a certain period,

without changing the budgets for the remaining
periods. For example, if you have a month more or
less money than the other months, just choose the
budget for the corresponding period and select
"Change this budget". Now you can change the
budget and optionally set a comment for the
selected period without affecting the other periods
of the budget.
If you select the option "Change all entries of this
budget" for a recurring budget, you will be asked
when saving the budget if all budgets after an
entered date ("AII future budgets") should be
changed (e.g. if you have more money from this
month) or by selecting "AII budgets" whether the
changes should affect all budgets (even past
budgets).

The budgets are defined independently and every

budget stands on its own. However, you can display
the total sum of the budgets. To do this, just open
the general settings of the app and choose the
option "Show total" in the "Budgets" section. Then
you can choose for every budget if it should be
considered in the sum of the budgets. This is useful
if you have overlapping budgets. For example if you
have a weekly and a monthly budget limit with the
same criteria. Then you can consider only the
monthly budget in the sum of the budgets so that
the amount is not considered twice.

4.5.3 Budget management

You can choose the menu item "Budget
management" in the "Management" menu of the
app. There you can see all defined budgets
regardless of the period. Expired budgets are shaded
In gray.
All budgets (including expired budgets) can be
managed over the entire period.
If you change a budget in the budget management,
you can choose whether the budget for "All future
budgets" after an entered date or "All budgets"
should be changed.

5. Management
The "Management" menu can be accessed by
clicking on the icon at the top left or by swiping from
left to right.

5.1.1 Account management

Here, all your accounts will be displayed and you can
create new accounts, edit or delete them. You can
enter your opening balance for each account. The
opening balance is the money that is available when
you start using the app. The opening balance should
not be changed later as this would influence the
account balance calculation. Via the action menu at
the top, you can sort the accounts by various criteria
and your can switch between the compact and
extended view.

If you delete an account, all transactions and

associated transfers of this account will be deleted
too.

If you no longer need an account, you can mark it as

closed. Closed accounts are no longer displayed for
new transactions or budgets. In the account
selection (click on the balance), etc. the closed
accounts are still displayed, but shaded in gray. To
hide the account in all dialogs, you can use the
option "Hide closed account completely". Thereafter,
the closed accounts are only visible (shaded in gray)
via the menu item "Account management" in the
"Management" menu.

Hint: You can quickly choose the account selection

within the app by clicking on the bottom area with
your balance. If you long click on an account, you
can edit or delete it directly.

5.1.2 Managing credit cards

The followin rocedure should be used for credit
cards. Just create an account for your credit card.
Then save all credit card purchases on this account.
If the credit card is billed, make a transfer from your
checking account to your credit card account. So you
have balanced your credit card account.

To select the accounts for analysis, just click on the

bottom area with your balance. So you can always
see the balance of your credit card or select all
accounts except the credit card account to see your
currently available money.

If you want to manage the limit of your credit card,

you can create a budget for it. For more information
on creating budgets, please read the chapter
"Budgets".

5.2 Category management

To prepare your data for the statistics, you should
assign each transaction to a (sub) category. You can
create new main and sub-categories, edit or delete
them. With the + symbol, a new main category will
be created. To create a subcategory, you must press
the + symbol after you have chosen the main
category.
Select a main or sub-category to edit or delete it.

5.3 Payment type management

The payment type management can be activated in
the general settings of the app.
Then you can also assign a payment type to each
transaction. On the "Statistics" and "Diagram" tab,
you can also group your transactions via the menu
item "Group by" in the top action menu by payment
type.

5.4 Person and group management

By capturing persons and/or groups, you can analyze
your data in more detail and summarize certain
transactions.

For example, you can create a group "holiday" and

assign all relevant transactions in your holiday
regardless of the category in addition to the group
"holiday".
Similarly, you can create, for example, a group
"insurance" and mark all costs for insurance
accordingly, irrespective of whether these are divided
otherwise in various categories such as car or home
etc.

A person is also another field to summarize your

transactions. So you can create transactions for
certain people to see how much money you have
spent on this person.

The person and/or group management can be

activated in the general settings of the app.
Then you can also assign a person and/or group to
each transaction. On the "Statistics" and "Diagram"
tab, you can.. also group your
.
transactions via the
.
menu item "Group by" in the top action menu by
persons or groups.

5.5 Recurring transactions

In the menu "Recurring transactions" you can create
or edit your recurring transactions. If you change a
recurring transaction, you have the possibility to
determine whether only all future transactions or all
transactions should be changed completely. Be
aware that if you select "All transactions", all past
and future transactions are overwritten with the
current values.

If you only want to change an entry of a recurring

transaction, you can do this on the "Transactions"
tab. It will change only the selected transaction and
does not affect the other transactions of the
recurring transaction. This is useful, for example, if
the date or amount of one transaction differs.

6. Useful functions
The "Useful functions" menu can be accessed by
clicking on the icon at the top left or by swiping from
left to right.

6.1 Last entries

This dialog shows the last added or modified
transactions.
This dialog is only intended for a quick check of
recently created or modified transactions. Therefore,
transactions which were last created or modified are
displayed at first in the list.
For analysis, please use the tab "Transactions".
There, the transactions can be filtered and sorted
according to various criteria. If you want to search
for specific transactions, you can filter the
transactions via the funnel icon on the
"Transactions" tab or use the "Detailed search" in the
"Useful functions" menu.

6.2 Detailed search

You can activate a query before quitting the
app via the back button.
Via the menu item "Autofill" you can specify
whether when entering a new transaction,
after entering the title, the other fields should
be preassigned based on previous
transactions.
With the function "Grouped by" you can
specify whether the default assignment is
done by the last transaction (with the latest
transaction date) or on the basis of the most
common transaction with the selected title. If

transactions. With this setting you can mark
your transactions as cleared or pending. You
can, for example, compare your transactions
with your bank account statements and mark
accordingly. Or simply mark the transactions
as paid or unpaid.
If the clearing status is enabled, you can
specify whether new transactions should be
initialized with the value "Cleared".
With the option "Ignore uncleared
transactions", you can specify that only
cleared transactions should be included in
the balance. If the "Clearing status" is
enabled, this option is additionally displayed
in the view menu (eye icon) in order to enable
or disable this feature for analysis purposes
even faster.
You can select the "Photo folder" in which
the photos that were taken with the app
should be saved.
You can adjust the number of months and

the 4x1 widget.

If you want to protect the app with a password,

please remember that without the password or the
self-created security question, you have no longer
access to your data!

7.1 Backup
You should periodically create a backup of your data.
By creating a backup, you can export all data for
example on your PC and have them protected from
damaging your device, so your valuable data will not
be lost.

To create a backup, select the menu item "Create

backup" from the left menu (click on the icon at the
top left or swipe from left to right) or in the settings
of the app.

If you select "Save & send" when creating the

backup, the backup will be saved and can be send as
an e-mail, via Bluetooth or to the Dropbox or Google
Drive app etc.

If the option "Automatic backup" is enabled, a

backup is made automatically when you exit the app
(via the back button of your device). The automatic
backup is only performed when data or settings has
been changed since the last backup.
To add automatic backups to Dropbox, Google Drive
etc., it is recommended that you use a
synchronization app like Dropsync, FolderSync or
"Autosync for Google Drive". For more information,
please read the chapter "Synchronization".

To restore a backup, select the menu item "Restore

backup" from the left menu or in the settings of the
app.

You can also send a backup by email and open the

attachment directly with the app. Or save the file on
your device and choose the backup file in a file
manager and open it with the app (maybe you need
to do a long press on the file in the file manager to
open the "Open with" dialog).

7.2 Export & import

7.2.1 Export data
You can export your transactions in the settings or
via the left menu (click on the icon at the top left or
swipe from left to right) in order to view or print them
on your pc. For this purpose, you have the HTML,
Excel and CSV format. The HTML file can be opened
with a web browser such as Internet Explorer or
Firefox. The CSV file can be opened e.g. with Excel.

With the HTML export, you can also export your

statistics.

You can limit the result set with your own search
criteria The data is stored in the folder "flAy B!!daet

Book". The exact location is also displayed.

If you select "Save & send" when creating the export,

the file will be saved and can be send as by mail, via
Bluetooth or to the Dropbox or Google Drive app etc.

Please note that an Excel, CSV or HTML export is not

a backup of the complete data. Only transactions are
exported in order to view or print them with other
programs. To save the entire data, please read the
chapter "Backup".

7.2.2 CSV import

To import your existing data from other programs or
transactions from your bank, the CSV import has
been developed. As we do not know the CSV format
of all (worldwide) banks or programs, this feature
can only be extended if you send us a sample data
set. Of course, this must be no real data.

To import a CSV file it must be saved in the folder

"My Budget Book". The exact path will be displayed
in the import dialog. Then you must choose the
menu item "csv import" in the left menu (click on
the icon at the top left or swipe from left to right) or
via the menu "Export & import" in the settings of the
app. All existing CSV files are listed here. If a format
is not supported, we can probably install it on
request with an update.

Before importing, you should select the account to

which the data will be im orted. If the CSV contains
a column "account", the selected account will be
ignored. If accounts or categories are not available
during the import, they will be generated
automatically.

Via the option "Ignore existing transactions", you can

ignore existing transactions that have the same title,
date, amount etc., so that the transactions (if a file is
imported more than once) are not imported again.
For example, you can then import transactions from
your partner, if you want to use the app with multiple
users.

A CSV file can be created with Excel, and should look

like this:

Date Title Comment Main Category

06/01/2016 My apartment Home & Household
06/15/2016 My company Income

With the Excel command "Save As" you must select

the file type "csv (Comma delimited) (*.csv)".

If you use the app in another language, the headlines

must be written in the corresponding language. To
see the exactly country-specific currency and date
format, just make a CSV export of your transactions.

You can also send a CSV file by email and open the
attachment directly with the app. Or save the file on
your device and choose the file in a file manager and
o en it with the a ma be ou need to do a Ion
press on the file In the file manager to open the
"Open with" dialog).

8. Widgets
My Budget Book contains 4 widgets, which you can
assign to your home screen. Press and hold on an
open space on your home screen and select
"Widgets".

The following widgets are available:

Widget (1x1) for fast entry of expenses.

Widget (1x1) for fast entry of income.
Widget (1x1) for fast entry of transfers.
Widget (4x1) for fast entry of expenses and
income. Displays the balance and the
selected account. The app can be started
from the widget and the account can be
selected.

To capture multiple transactions sequentially, you

can click on the button "Save & New". If you use a
widget then you no longer have to enter a password
for each transaction.

If you move the app to SD card, you cannot use the

widgets. This is due to the Android system and it
cannot be changed. This behavior is specified by
Google. If you don't see the widgets, just move the
app to the internal memory to use the widgets.
9. Synchronization
A direct synchronization is currently not available.
The basic problem is the authorization concept of
Android. For Google Drive, Dropbox etc. the
permission for full Internet access is required.
Unfortunately, this would put off many users,
especially if you add this permission later. It is after
all very sensitive data. So you can be sure that your
data will not be used elsewhere and we have no
access to your trusted data.

However, you can transfer backups on another

device and restore it there. This works on the
exchange of backups by mail, Bluetooth or with your
pc. The path of the backups can be freely configured
in the settings. However, there is also a very simple
way to get the data transferred to another device:

To use the app as a single user on different devices,

it is recommended that you use a synchronization
app such as Dropsync, FolderSync, "Autosync for
Google Drive" or "OneSync (OneDrive Autosync)".

When you exit the app (via the back button), an

automatic encrypted backup is created. The backups
are stored in the folder "My Budget Book". This
folder can be synced (e.g. via Dropsync) to your
Dropbox account and thus can be transferred to
other devices. The automatic backup starts with the
name "AutoBackup" and it also contains the date
and time (including seconds) and the name of the
backup device (e.g.
AutoBackup_20160615_123050_Samsung_GT-
191OO.mhs). The synchronization app can be set to
automatically recognize the creation of a new file.
This will be uploaded directly to Dropbox. Because
the backup files are very small and the automatic
backup is only created when data or settings have
been changed, this can even be synchronized on the
way. You can also set that the synchronization only
takes place when a wireless connection is available.
The 2nd device downloads the files at the set
interval (e.g. every hour). If the file does not yet
exists, just start the synchronization app and press
Sync. Dropsync even offers a "Sync now" widget.
When you launch "My Budget Book" the app checks
if a newer backup than the most recently created
backup exists. If a newer backup is available, the
dialog "Restore backup" appears automatically and
the latest file is marked green.
Of course, the data is not directly available on the
other device. But think of the standard case. You
collect your data at midday with your Smartphone
and in the evening, you analyze your data with your
tablet. In this time, the latest backup file should be
available automatically and should be displayed
when starting the app.

To use the app with multiple users, you can use the
CSV export/import. Then you can also synchronize
your CSV exports for example with Dropsync and
import them using the option "Ignore existing
transactions". For more information about the CSV
export/import, please read the chapter "Export &
import".

know by mail at onetwoaRRs@gmail.com or via the
built in support function.

10. Support
We would be pleased if you contact us directly from
the app if you have any questions or suggestions.
We are grateful for any feedback. The support
function has the advantage that we can see the
device, the app version, the Android firmware and the
selected language in the subject of the email to
analyze system problems. We try to answer all mails
personally and promptly. If there are any problems,
please don't write a bad review or add questions to
it. Many misunderstandings can be avoided by
clarifying things by mail. If you find a bug, you should
also report this via the support function and it should
not be included in the reviews. No software is 100%
free of errors and we will fix bugs as soon as
possible.

Thank you very much and now have a lot of fun and
a lot of success in saving money.
