For me it works wonderfully. It does lack a few features of GnuCash on the desktop. Most notably Check number. And it requires a little getting used to for doing split transactions.
I do need to trim my account list on the phone, I have all of my accounts in the app. I don't really need accounts like depreciation while pumping gas. The really nice thing is I can log my transactions as I do them rather than reading a bunch of crumpled up receipts at the end of the week. All I do is export the app data to a qif file and use the usb port to transfer it to my desktop. Never had a problem with it. I have never tried exporting as xml. Keep in mind the android app is an entirely separate product, developed by a different group. --JEffrey Black M.B.A. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
