First Look: JetSet 1.1 for iPhone

JetSet 1.1BriteMac has announced special pricing for their JetSet iPhone expense tracker to celebrate the release of the update to version 1.1. Through October 6th, you can purchase JetSet 1.1 for US$4.99, five dollars off of the regular App Store (click opens iTunes) price of US$9.99.

There are a number of other expense managers for iPhone, but I use JetSet for some specific features -- the ability to capture iPhone photos of receipts and attach them to expenses, being able to export expense information to Google spreadsheets or to Excel, and global expense views that "package" expenses that are for a particular project or trip.

JetSet also has 15 major expense categories, visible in the screenshot here, as well as well over 100 subcategories. This speeds up data entry since it's usually not necessary to type in category names.

If you're not using JetSet for expense tracking, what do you use? Leave us a comment.

Well I left an honest 5-star remark on the German iTunes Store despite the lack of multiple currencies for now - the currency does not show up in the Google Docs export anyhow and you can format the spreadsheet cells using any currency format there.

The currency support in iXpenseIt (which is a nice app too) does not really go far: 1. The currency list is not complete and cannot be edited (been to Myanmar last week and it seems the country does not exist) and 2. you cannot store exchange rates – so in the end you have to do one report for each currency and then combine everything manually... or do the conversion manually before entering the amount, which is cumbersome, as iXpenseIt does not have JetSet's business calculator (which is a big help).

Seems to me the only app that has real multi-currency support is TravelTracker - but this is a completely different category pricewise...

I am looking forward to future improvements to JetSet and am happy I bought it.

I read a review by IWantToBelieve (do check it out) on the App store (not sure if it was submitted for the first version or the revised version, or if the person was a buyer) but it seems that there isn't any 100 sub-categories unless one counts the airlines and hotels as sub-cats.

I decided to try Spend (Lite) instead, which is crippled (hey its a lite/demo version) but it makes me feel better!

There are 100+ sub-categories. To do this -- add a expense type - Miscellaneous and then touch the + sign. They will all show up.

By the way--every review bad or good are 100% real.

I've really tried to find the totally correct area to post this question, but sadly, failed. I have about 100 applications / icons on my iPhone. Is there any way to make / import empty folders, name them and place the individual programs into them, thereby sorting those programs and making them easier to find? Maybe page one could be like an index, where one can chose the next step.

If you are jailbroken, there is an app called Categories which does exactly what you are requesting.

I am trying iXpenseit on the recommendation of a colleague. It looks to be what I need, except it doesn't appear to have the capability to convert other currencies.

I'm loving the iPhone, but there are still a number of things I could do with my Palm PDA that are not quite there yet on the iPhone.

I use iExpenseIt which does allow me to use GBP, SEK and Euro. Downside is that I need to manually record which client or project code I am billing in each entry as need to report expenses by who is to reimburse (or not) and reporting by date doesn't give enough breakdown. May try JetSet when multiple currencies are avaliable.

TIP: befre you buy this app... take the time to read the reviews. There ate a lot of 1-star reviews claiming this application is useless and the 5-star reviews are fake.

I would nevver buy an app with these kind of extreem positive and negative reviews.

I wrote one of the "fake" 5-star reviews and I stand by that review. JetSet was fantastic when I traveled last months.

The 1-star review people are idiots.
