Trail Wallet 1.1.3 is now available in the App Store. This is just a bugfix update and fixes some issues some users were having with accessing their daily history.
It was a time zone thing. It’s always a time zone thing—time can be a slippery little bugger.
I’m not the world’s greatest designer.
I enjoy drawing and illustration and I intend to get good at it over time (I have a long way to go—I estimate my current drawing age to be around nine years old).
One of the questions that we get a lot is whether there’s going to be an Android version of Trail Wallet. Unfortunately, the answer is “not at the moment” and here’s why.
The old Voyage Travel Apps website was the office intern who we just shoved out the door to talk to the world. Gangly and kind of awkward, he really had no idea what he was doing but at least he was keen and it was better to have someone out there than no one at all.
We use Trail Wallet every day to track our expenses and we often take the results and provide breakdowns such as our recent Cuba travel costs post over on Never Ending Voyage. However, it’s been incredibly gratifying and more than a little humbling to find that other travellers have been doing this too.
We built Trail Wallet to be fast and easy to use on a day-to-day basis but sometimes you just want to go a little bit deeper.
In this post, we present the lesser-used options and features that you might have missed.
I was doing some research into the design process because it’s always good to go over the fundamentals now and again and I discovered this interesting manifesto from Hugh MacLeod.
You may have heard of him. He’s the guy that draws cartoons on the back of business cards and is now internet famous.
His manifesto is full of great thoughts and insights into being creative, but this one in particular struck me:
Trail Wallet 1.1 is out!
This update introduces a veritable cornacopia of new features as well as an improved design—check out the new video for the lowdown:
Just because you built it, doesn’t mean people will pay for it.
A lot of the old model was built around the idea that artists and creatives needed to be somehow protected from the world of commerce. They should just create, someone else would figure out how to sell it. A lot of people got very rich from this model, and often it wasn’t the artists or creators themselves.
Stories of bad deals, of artists not earing a penny or not owning their own works, are legion.
We have almost reached the end of the development of version 1.1 of Trail Wallet. The nerds down at Voyage Labs have been working away, ratcheting in all new features and sticking on brand new spangly bits to make travel expense tracking that little bit easier.
