EasyCost is an accounting software developed by Chinese people on iOS. It moved the author with simple and beautiful icons and previews. Since Apple released iOS7, Clear has swept through all kinds of applications in the store, which are flat, colorful and simple. This app is completely based on the concept of iOS7 and implements the Clear style in the end.
Bookkeeping is undoubtedly a tedious and boring thing, but it cannot be replaced. The inexorable consumption curve and income curve bear witness to everyone's life. Each peak is 90% sweat and 10% smile, and each trough is the driving force to wake up and live.
After you open EasyCost, the first thing is to teach you how to use it. Slide up to get various "tutorial" bills. Each bill can be distinguished by different color scales. (Different from the bubbling of iOS and similar to the short message dialog box of webOS, the author appreciates this very much.) The "picture", "account" and "amount" are displayed neatly and clearly. The top and bottom width of the timeline is just right, and the font size is reasonable. The ledger interface can display four kinds of statistics: year, month, week, and today. However, the ledger total cannot be selected by month. The author doesn't find any function when sliding right. Maybe the author can add the operation of user-defined selection of year, month, week and day in the later right sliding. ▼
You can switch account books by zooming with both hands. It is the classic card copying interface of iOS. (I have to complain that it takes 0.5s to display a card from the account book! I can't bear it!) EasyCost lists three account books for daily use, travel and company by default. In addition, users can also create their own account books. Click the small red dot to select deletion/consolidation to other ledgers. If the webOS card can be closed upward and the card stacking function can be used here, it may be more worthy of the word "efficiency". ▼
After a brief talk about the next interface, it's time to talk about how to keep Virgos in mind. There are two ways to create new accounts. The first is to click the smiley face in the ledger interface. The second is created by sliding down. The level of the interface is logical. From top to bottom, there are amounts, notes, and descriptions. (The author can't help saying that since a large row of space can be left at the bottom, why not add the time display? Since the bottom is so redundant, why not allow line breaks in the "Description" section?)
By default, the system provides 11 kinds of icons, 6 kinds of color expressions, simple addition and subtraction functions, accurate to the time of quantile. In addition, Lao Luo said that most people seldom record detailed things. It is the public's demand to mark with simple icons. The author may have seen his press conference, or perhaps out of his own passion, so The number of built-in user-defined icons in the App has reached 159! (What are you dissatisfied with?)
PS： The periodic bookkeeping option belongs to the internal purchase part, which requires the user to pay an additional 0.99 $. ▼
When you remember and watch day after day, year after year. Suddenly one day, your mobile phone was lost, flooded, and replaced with a non iOS mobile phone. Where should the precious account go?
EasyCost has built in iCloud backups. In addition, you can select different backups according to different dates. (This function seems to have been seen somewhere... The author thinks that this may be the source of the author's confusion with Time Machine.) In addition to iCloud backup, the ledger also has CSV export, which can be viewed in Excel. (Mom doesn't have to worry about my data anymore) ▼
Finally, the author found that EasyCost had a statistical chart at the time of completing the manuscript! It is in the "View Report" section of setting options. I have to say that the author is too conscientious, but it is wrong to hide such important statistics in such a deep place. Maybe it is more appropriate to put it in the right slide mentioned above. ▼
