[GNC] Access GNUCash From Different Devices

[Colin Arndt]

The Android app hasn't been updated in almost 3 years now, unfortunately. The maintainer kept up with it for 6 years beforehand, so I certainly don't begrudge him for moving on with his life. In the github threads someone offered to release a fork with the pull requests merged, but the link he included is no longer good.

I'd be genuinely interested in how others handle the use case for the mobile app. Seeing reports and charts from my phone could be useful. But as far as the data entry side, I don't think I'm missing out there. (Disclaimer: I tried importing my books into the Android app but it errored out, so I haven't seen it in action).
My workflow is to update my books once a week, mostly from QFX imports or manual entry off of online statements. It takes maybe 10 minutes total. Cash transactions are the only thing I need to record on my phone and a simple text note works for that. I do almost nothing in cash these days and so manually entering these in GnuCash takes 1-2 minutes.
Given that workflow, entering them more formally in a mobile app, exporting the CSV and importing it into GnuCash on my computer would not be worth the extra work.
Cheers,
Colin
