Features and options currently available to Beta testers
When a new PocketSmith feature is released it may be put through a Beta phase. This phase allows interested users to test and provide feedback so that unexpected bugs, or user experience issues, can be resolved before the feature is fully released.
PocketSmith features and options that are currently available for Beta testing are:
- Safe Balance 💰
The Safe Balance feature adjusts selected balances to account for budgeted income and expenses that are planned but haven't happened yet, giving you a safe-to-spend balance. Learn more here: Safe Balance - Change color theme to Legacy 🎨
If you're not a fan of PocketSmith's purple, you can change the color theme to a more neutral palette. See: PocketSmith's color display for detail on how to do this. - Improved payee cleaning ✨
Improved payee cleaning aims to tidy up merchant names to exclude extraneous information such as timestamps and transaction numbers. - Rollover Budgeting
A rollover budget allows under-spent / under-earnt or over-spent / over-earnt amounts to be carried over from one budget period to the next. Learn more here: Rollover budgeting
