It’s been a while.. New release of Financisto 1.2.9 is in the Market with ‘CSV Export’ and some improvements and bugfixes. If you own a Motorola Droid please check and let me know if the bug with Pin screen when clicking ‘Back’ button disappeared.
The format of CSV file is a subject to change and I’m open to discussion.
Financisto 1.2.8 is in the Market. The release adds recurring budgets (monthly only at the moment), includes some improvements and bug-fixes.
Starting from the very first version Financisto supports attributes for categories. Attributes are additional properties of a category. An attribute can be some text, number, a value from a list or a boolean flag. You can create any number of attributes for any particular category. If you have a child category then all attributes from the parent category will be automatically inherited.
Use attributes to make special notes, attached to a transaction under a particular category. For example: imagine you have a category ‘Car’ and sub-category ‘Fuel’. You can create an number attribute for the ‘Fuel’ sub-category and name it ‘Mileage’. Now when you pay for the fuelling at the gas station, you create a transaction under ‘Car->Fuel’ category and you can put your current mileage in the attribute field. The attribute can be ‘Litres’ as well to note how much fuel you buy or a text attribute with the name ‘Gas station’ to note what gas station you used.
Some other examples:
There are more plans to utilize attributes in the future releases, but they are useful in the current state as well.
Today my coleagues asked me a very valid question – “Why does Finanacisto require INTERNET permission?! Are you nuts?! That’s personal information we’re talking about!” 
Financisto uses this permission for Google Maps and to download currency rates in transfer dialog. Unfortunately there is no option for a user to deny any permission for an application while installing it, so you’ll have to trust me – Financisto doesn’t publish any information to the Net.
But the point is taken – I’m considering to modularize the application. Divide it into separate pieces with different sets of permissions. With main application require, ideally, no permissions at all and additional modules like ‘Location Module’ and ‘Currency Rate Module’. Hope it will work. No ETA though.
We going to publish more materials about how to effectively use Financisto to improve you experience with it. Here is the first screencast of the series explaining how to add an account:
