New release 1.3.3 is in the Market. I has been distracted from implementing recurring transactions to make it possible to create budgets based on multiple categories and projects. Also added small widget and Russian locale. Made some minor performance improvements and layout changes.
Here is how budget screen looks now:
You can select multiple categories (1) and/or multiple projects (2). If you select ‘Ease conditions’ (3) then transactions with either appropriate categories OR project(s) will be included into this budget. Otherwise transactions will be filtered by both categories AND projects. ‘Include sub-categories’ works as before – either include transactions from sub-categories into the budget or not.
I hope this feature will make budgets more flexible and convenient to use.

Hi! That’s a great app and the budget feature is particularly useful. One thing I don’t really get is the way budgets recur, especially the end date. Instead of having all the budgets for upcoming months in the list, I would prefer to only have the one for the current month. Is that possible and I missed it? Would you be kind enough to explain how this works?
Thank you very much!
There is a filter button in the Budget List window. You can select ‘today’ in the filter to keep only current budgets in the list. Currently budgets are created in advance. This will be changed in some future release. Thanks!
Yes the filter is helpful but I was more looking for a budget to recur indefinitely like the scheduled transactions. Is that what you have in mind for a future release? Cause it’d be great!
