Currency Genie

The latest version of this app is a great improvement to an already useful app. One slight problem is that having it on my iPad and iPhone, when updating one the other is not automatically updated.

I am not a pilot, I am Treasurer for a charity. But this app is a perfect way for me to keep track of key financial and reporting deadlines. I love it! No greater praise possible! Thank you!

It’s a brilliant idea just needs one tweak in my opinion! If you had an option to allow an update to preserve the expiry date automatically rather than having to scroll through to the end of the month. I can see this works for military currency but in the civil world expiries are like MOT’s and preserve the original date plus 1 year. ****Update to clarify suggestion. An option to preserve the day and just update the year by a set amount. Think insurance, if you renew insurance you maintain the day of the month and change the year even if you renew a week early. So a slider option at currency creation so that when you select it then update you will always get the same date + 1 year. An example, when this option is selected 27MAR20 becomes 27MAR21 even when updated on 20MAR20****

I have been using this app for the last 2 years on my iPad mini. It worked brilliantly until the new update. The biggest issue I have is setting a currency completion date: At the moment I can’t retrospectively add a completion date. If I tap on the completion date, an empty box appears. This makes the app unusable for me. Please fix it. I also agree with a another reviewer about the icon change. The new one looks amateurish/ childish. I can live with that if you can fix the bug? Thank you.

Great app, very useful and user friendly. One thing that could be added to improve the app would be the ability to add a note when creating/editing a currency. i.e. A reminder of where to book or maybe what to bring with you when completing the currency again.

This app has proven itself very useful, especially when official currencies are kept on a system inaccessible from home or down route. The one thing I would want to add is a list functionality, so that you can sub-divide your currencies.

Thank you for fixing the issue of the dates shifting a day when crossing a time zone. V2.5 is much better. Other ideas: Can you create criteria for each currency that should be met to satisfy that entry and being current. The default could be the date as the present app tracks. Example would be a 90 day landing currency, condition would be 3 take-off and landings in that 90 days for it to remain green. Another example would be 3 precision approaches and 3 non-precision approaches in 6 months to remain IR current for mil pers.

Okay if your required expiry dates run exactly in line with the “expiry” time limit from a given date, but please please please add a function to overwrite expiry dates if required! (For example; several annual checks run to include the remainder of the month of issue, or can be done up to 3 months in advance without penalty. It is not possible to record this, unless you ‘lie’ to the app and tell it an event will be done in the future (i.e. at the end of the month), but this ruins the validity of the “completed” date) Please allow manual override of expiry dates.
