Developer Q & A

Richard Brown, Head of our Money Dashboard Software Development Team, answers a few questions here about the app that some of our software fans and followers may have. If you have a question for Rich, tweet him @_RichardABrown.

Here is what he had to say to some of our quick-fire questions about the app.

Why now?

We've had a mobile app on both iOS and Android since last year, and although we've seen that users clearly have an appetite for a money management solution in their pocket, we did receive feedback that they wanted a more native experience. Rather than just port our existing responsive web application into a native app, we also wanted to take this opportunity to revisit what additional functionality users would like in a mobile app to allow them to be good with money.

Why Spend Tracker?

The Spend Tracker was introduced as a beta in our web application back in February after an intense two day workshop involving teams across Money Dashboard. The team identified that a gap in the product could be filled with a simple way of tracking spend across a set of user defined tags. The response to the feature was such that it demanded to be included in our mobile app.

Why Android First?

Initially, the desire was to release the app across both platforms at the same time, but two things prompted us to shift initial focus to Android. Firstly, we wanted to get the offering right on both platforms. Despite all of our research, we are not going to know for sure the impact of the app until it is out in the public domain. Working with a single platform will make this process much more faster and more effective. Secondly, this desire to respond to users' feedback quickly makes Android a sensible choice, with the lead time to deploy to the Apple Store a prohibitive factor when it comes to releasing updates.

What got you through the app development process?
