Pros and cons of Trip Boss Expense manager app for iPhone and iPad

Trip Boss Expense manager app good for

Im downloading this as Im typing. Im actually very excited and happy to purchase Trip Boss for the iPhone OS. It was easily the most use non-Palm app on my Tréo 650... yup, thats how long I was using it on the Palm. I finally went to an iPhone due to Microsoft dropping Palm support in Entourage 2008. It was truly cumbersome to log my expenses in the iPhones Notes application. It was even less elegant when it came the time to file them later on. I still need to find out how, if possible, one goes about exporting expense reports from Trip Boss for iPhone, but check this out; the iPhones camera is integrated in the "Receipt" section. One can simply snap a picture of the receipt. It is then backed up to iTunes/iPhoto. Very slick and very handy. If you travel a lot like I do, this application is the BEST for keeping track of your itinerary and expenses. It is now installed and I can see that there have been several refinements to the app since the Palm days. It is much more visually appealing & I can see that the feature set has been greatly expanded in order to take advantage of much of what the iPhone has to offer. Amazing thus far. Thank you Creative Algorithms. It may sound silly, but Ive been waiting for this day for a couple of years now and, somewhat giddily, Im very excited to get back to traveling with my old friend.., who just so happens to be much better looking with the passage of time and has a few new tricks to show me! Well done!
This app is very close to what i would picture for an ideal trip management tool. There are a few bugs that need ro be corrected but i tested a few a this is really practical, easy and flexible since you manage your way just by adjusting settings. One improvement would be turning the journal and expense midule one single thing and this way, you would not need to list things repetidly.
Bussiness applications are supposed to have no bugs and be serious. This is full of bugs. You can not put a budget with decimals, if you put a negative value it interprets is to millions, etc etc. Definitelly not the best app I have bought

Some bad moments

I bought Trip Boss for my wife whos a frequent business traveller. She has an iPhone, but she hadnt found the right tool for managing her trips. This app has everything she was looking for: it easily tracks multiple trips by purpose, trip expenses, and their reimbursement. I expect that Trip Boss will quickly pay for itself.
I cant wait until my next vacation. This app will help me to keep my spending under control. Its just too easy to keep spending without looking at the big picture. This app makes it easy to see how much Ive already spent and what I have left. Plus with the currency converter I know what that item really cost me. If you travel at all, you need this app.
Many of us former Palm users have been awaiting this wonderful app. Once we get all the other modules that came with the Palm version, Ill give it 5 stars. If the introductory version is any indication, the complete version will be destined for "App of the Year." Great work, people, for making this available.
Very nice looking app, and the tip calculator and currency converter can be useful even when Im not traveling.
Great app, once you figure it out. Be sure to RTFM .... If there is one.
Overall, this app meets all of my expectations with very high marks. The apps menu is well-balanced with a rich selection of budget elements. The apps functionality and key features provide a high level of usability. I would highly recommend this app to a friend or colleague.
