I Do Like ItVery Much With Some Quaifications

Chronicle is a nice looking App; it manages bills quite well but a few criticisms stand.

My main grievance is that I can not easily edit bill payments. So, if for example, I enter the wrong payment amount in a bill (yes I did this), as of yet I can find no way to remedy the mistake. I seem to need to delete the entire bill history (all invoices) and reststart. This is annoying.

I really wanted an application for bill management; this is it. But it needs a few improvements to be just right. I suggest:

- Better ability to add income into the bill paying account (recurring & special)
- A nice allowance (category) for weekly cash withdrawals (wallet cash).
- A better ability to handle transfers in/out (no categories seem to apply - I do some account transfers …; maybe tags here?)
- The (reallly important) ability to edit bill history to correct entry mistakes.
- Possibly some nice charting as to where money went.
- Forecasting: tell me accurately how much my upcoming monthly bills will cost (on any day)
- “Postcasting”: tell me how much I paid so far this month (on any day)
- Budget: Let me declare a monthly budget amount (even month by month?) and tell me where I fit in that? I don’t need to meet the budget exactly; I just need to know if I am close to target.

And bug fixes:
- The bill counts and bill totals tend to be quite wrong. Should be fixed.
- Please let me easily fix bill entry mistakes.

And yes: I do use the app consistently and add all data for tracking - going around the few annoyances. So it is a good app; it just falls short of perfect for a few problematic bugs. I recommend it in the belief that the bug fixes will gone in future editions that early adopters then already own …?

Oh yes, iOS sync is just fine. My review was Mac-specific.
