Hello Geeks, I'm currently working on an iPhone Application that manages the user's expenses.
This is my first experience with iPhone applications development, therefore, things are meant to be as simple as possible. And I'm looking forward to share ideas with you.
Purpose: As i said, managing personal expenses.
How : Entering details of bought items (shopping lists), paid bills, etc... through a simple, easy to use, interface.
As a start, I'm thinking about a survey. The following are some questions that will help me in the development.
You are kindly requested to answer the following questions and please, feel free to suggest any additional ones. Help is much appreciated.
I'll show this post to the teacher and his assistant. So please, write down your answers using Clear English.
Questions:
1- Name: Optional
2- Gender: M/F
3- Age: (12 - 18] - [18 - 24] - [24 - 30] - [30+)
Please answer using one of the above options.
4- Current Occupation: Student, Employee , etc...
5- Preferred Display Language: English, French, etc...
I hope that no one prefers Chinese :P

7- How frequently would you expect to use this application:

8- What's the most important aspect of an application that handles critical subjects (in this case money)? (one or more answer)
- Security (login / password)
- Undo feature (to prevent accidental damage)
- Save/backup feature (to prevent data loss)
9- In Case you are using such an application, will security be a major concern ?
- No, not really (no one except me have access to my iPhone)

10- What do you feel would be a fair price for this product? (in US $ please)

in your case a person with age 18 will be confused which interval to choose)
