Well, it started as a college project. At first, there was a Databases class where we had to write a term project, choosing the DB application according to our own needs. So I wrote a Web app about debt tracking (at the time I was really annoyed by people borrowing money AND items and failing to return then on time). And the next class, Software Development Technology, had a term project as well... so I wrote an Android app on the same topic. And after that, as a college capstone project, I made the Android app and the Web-based DB backend talk to each other and sync data. I passed with all straight 'A's. And after I graduated from that college, I actually got some support from my mates who wanted to use such an app as well, and gave me A LOT of valuable feedback. So I polished the UI a bit, fixed lots of bugs and cleaned up lots of study-project code written in a hurry... and published my app for the general public. Now I am trying to promote it and make people want to download it. It is free for now (though, it does have one small ad banner), but I am planning to add some premium features (and ad disabling) later. So, would love to hear feedback. Thanks in advance!

@ad_astra I don't have need for it but I was curious so I downloaded it just to play with it a little bit. 1) does it send reminders to someone else? It might be interesting to automatically send another person reminders if they owe me something. There's a social cost to collecting a debt (item or money). I usually don't lend things or money (especially to family) unless I'm okay not seeing it again. If the reminder came from a bot and not from me, it puts a little pressure on the debtor and they blame me less. It's like the system pressuring them, not me. As a landlord, I prefer to use software to collect rent because of this. 2) it looks like when marking money returned, you have to manually enter it. Is there a quick "completely paid" button to avoid manually entering s number? 3) does it handle gracefully when you deny access to contacts? It makes sense that it needs contact info but I'm generally hesitant to give permissions.

@jeremydeanlakey To answer the first question - it allows to send 1-click SMS from the debt detail page, but it is a good idea to enable automatic reminders too! As for questions 2 and 3 - both of these cases are considered in the newest build that is currently in testing. It fixes the bug with saving with no contact list permissions, and also adds a menu action to pay off right from the debt list, without tapping or typing too much. The fact that you mention it makes me feel I am on the right track adding that code! So thanks a lot for your feedback, it is definitely a good submission I value a lot!

@jeremydeanlakey P.S. the 'repay all' and more gracefull permission handling did make it to production!
