Hey diligent finance trackers, there’s a new version of Toshl for iPhone out on iTunes. Don’t get too excited though, it’s a bug fix update, with a few needed fixes here and there but without new features. No need to be disappointed though, we have a few things up our sleeves for later this summer.

Toshl has also been renamed to Toshl Finance in the App Store, to show our aim to become a more complete, ¡but still ultra-easy and fun!, finance management solution.

One of the little things we’ve changed and really restores my inner peace is the Edit button for expenses, so it doesn’t look outside of iOS norms, where that icon is normally used for creating new entries, not editing.

So get the update for maximum stability and up-to-datedness (yes, I’m making it a noun) and please rate Toshl on the iTunes App Store. Much obliged.

P.S.: Android users, We know it’s taking ages to get that proper Toshl for Android update with budgets, but we’re getting there!

We’re thrilled to tell you that we’ll be presenting Toshl at Seedcamp in New York City which starts off on Tuesday the 14th of June in Google’s NYC offices. We’re honoured that we were chosen among all the great startups presenting at Seedcamp.

Naturally we’ll be talking about all about the road Toshl has travelled so far and our vision for the future, how we plan to make Toshl the best personal financial manager. Most importantly, we’re going there to learn from all the great talented people who will be at Seedcamp NYC; tech guys, business gurus, investors, entrepreneurs and of course the many amazing people who are all that rolled into one.

If you’ll be there, we would be happy to talk to you! A Toshl representative is coming to NYC already on Sunday (12 June). If you want to meet up just drop us a line at info@toshl.com and we’ll get in touch right away.

See you at Seedcamp!

After weeks of waiting, we can now announce that Toshl in its purest form is now available for your handsome WP7 phone via your marketplace.

Expect fantastic usability, WP7 native look and feel with Toshl branded characters, icons and colours, and all the functionality we currently support:

• adding expenses
• tagging expenses
• exporting
• budgets
• locking your app
• multiple currencies with automatic or manual exchange rate
• export functionality
• repeating expenses
• fancy splash screen
• sounds :)

We really liked developing for WP7, even though a database support out of the box would be great, and faster rendering capabilities were expected. We experienced a lot of framerate dropping events when playing with bitmap graphics, so for those programming for WP7, be aware of that. But overall, it was a joy.

Keeping our users happy is our key focus, so we will continue polishing the current version, killing bugs and improving usability, and we should also introduce new functionality in near future. So, expect only the best from our WP7 version.

If you share our enthusiasm, please, rate the app, comment the app and tell your friends about it. Much obliged.

Toshl for Windows Phone 7. Published.

Seriously, after many months of designing, developing, testing, we finally released enormous, bigger than Beatles kind-of update of Toshl on iPhone, while developing the same version for BlackBerries from scratch, and also managing to freshen-up the web version with new sync API as well.

Yes, now we can go to bed. Almost. Let’s review the news first.

Starting with BlackBerry. First, we believe Toshl for BB’s is one of the most beautiful designs ever created for BB platform. This does not make us geniuses or an insane group of perfectionists, but it just shows how badly BB developers treat user experience and esthetics. Quite wrongly so. Blackberry users know why they use what they use. They know that RIM produces marvelous hardware and software, both completely focused on BB core functionality. And this quest to perfection makes BB truly unique. Indeed, iPhone, Android, WP7, Maemo, WebOS users can easily say that they are better at pretty much everything. Rightly so. But again, BB users know what they want and they are probably the most enthusiastic mobile phone users of them all (ok, apart from those carrying a n900 around).

And when we were creating Toshl for BB, we said: it needs to be the best financial tracking expense software for BlackBerry, it needs to look fantastic (given usability and OS expected behavior limitations) and it needs to follow those Toshl core values that we cherish so much. And here it is. One of the best looking BlackBerry apps, completely focused on one thing only: making your financial lives a bit more fun and a bit more care free. With all the functionality that you get on iPhone version, but with BlackBerry flavor. BB users will love it.
Toshl for BlackBerry is currently only available via toshl.com web site. We are waiting for Canadians to wake up and allow us to publish Toshl on App World, but until they do that, we will stay where we are. Please, download it and share the cirque with us. We are known to listen and react fast.

The iPhone version. Funny enough, iPhone is statistically not the most important platform for Toshl. Android and Nokia are. But this might change completely, since iPhone version is now completely redone, redesigned, with many more functions and usability tricks. We believe users will applaud the new version as much or even more as they did the 1.5 one, because it is bringing them multiple currency support, budgets, lock you data functionality, shake to add expense and much much more. Hit app store, read what’s new about it, download it (it is still free) and tell us what you think.

Web version. We call it 1.1. And it is even nicer than the old one. With more functionality as well, following the ones introduced to iPhone and BlackBerry Toshl versions. So, expect budgets and so on. And omg, those illustrations are awesome. We should put them on T-shirts asap! And we shall! Well, actually :)

API version and cloud backup sync. New as well. Not that you are that interested in this, but it is much more secure, much more stable, is future compatible and optimized for family Toshl users, where more than one person uses Toshl account. If you are a developer, this API is still not public and we have still not decided to make it public. If you have any opinions about this, let us know!

And again, many many thanks to all the beta testers of iPhone, BlackBerry and Web Toshl updates. You are the best.

Now we can really go to bed, get some sleep.
