One of my users (hi Frank) provided me with some very nice layouts. How did you get your creative juices flowing to create such usable invoice designs? You have to also consider the feature-set. It’s more about dealing with the limited screen-space you have on the iPhone. I love the iPhone, my users love it… How difficult is it to write applications for a separate platform like the iPhone? What drove you to develop GrandTotal for the iPhone? I love when applications incorporate companion mobile apps. Last but not least, I did not want to raise the price of TimeLog, nor was I willing to give away the app for 19€. One reasons is that TimeLog can collect working time over the network which means more than one person can be involved.Īnother is that a lot of users don’t track time because they work for fixed fees anyway. Was there a reason you chose to write GrandTotal and TimeLog as separate applications? Some invoicing application’s log time as well. I submitted it to MacUpdate with no expectations. I wrote it for myself to figure out where my time going.

TimeLog was my first Mac application I wrote, it was written in RealBasic. It’s harder to deal with 3rd party integration. Not really - being in control of the source allows you to make them fit together. TimeLog is one of your other apps, is it difficult to create applications that “play well” with each other? This required a bit a more flexible of a tax system - which in some cases can make the product look more difficult than it actually is. GrandTotal is a European product dealing with international customers is a very common thing here. Were there any issues or complications dealing with taxes? One of the features of your application is the ability to have multiple customizable tax rates, domestic and international.
Where did you get the idea to create the application? Maybe I should mention, that I tried this several times before and failed big time. Thanks to my users, with their input I could release a fairly mature product in September. After 7 months of development I picked some of my TimeLog users to give it a try. If I would fail on that my yet unnamed product would never make it to a final release. I started in early 2008, building the layout engine, which was the most important thing to get done. How did you get started developing the application? The key feature is that invoices can have almost any look, which is really important to most of my users. GrandTotal does what most service providers (hopefully) do from time to time: It creates invoices and estimates and keeps track of the payments and due dates. Thanks again Henry, you can find GetPaid! and The Prayer Network at your local iTunes App Store. We are working on other productivity apps as well.

The Prayer Network (PN) is a free “soul”cial network app in app store right now. When Users write inaccurate reviews without fully understand the functionalities and there’s no way to communicate back and have the reviews corrected.Īre you working on any other projects besides GetPaid!? User ratings are such a huge factor when it comes to the point of sale for applications, does that ever become an issue? IPad version has been frequently requested since the release of iPad. What are the some of the difficulties of developing an application that is so important for business? How do you go about ensuring your app will be found if searched for? How do you go about promoting your products?īest product always sells itself, with apple’s help, that is. What kind of advise would you give a starting developer looking to enter the App Store marketplace?īe creative, be diligent, be patient, most importantly be passionate. What do you enjoy about being a developer in general?ĭo you develop for any platforms other than iPhone OS? I was an independent consultant often forgot to record my billable time. Where did the idea of creating a mobile time-tracking & invoicing application come from? (note: See app store description for additional app features.)
#International mailplane pdf#
GetPaid! Tracks time and generate instant invoice and timesheet in PDF format. I wanted to talk to him about his experience developing for the iPhone. Henry has released several updates since I started using GetPaid! and is very responsive to user requests. I personally love this application, it has a very nice interface allowing the user to have a record of past and future jobs, visual charts of earnings as well as outstanding payments. One of his applications is a full-featured invoicing app that can fit in your pocket. Today we are talking to Henry of Runaway Apps. In a previous interview, we looked at an excellent desktop time-tracking/invoicing application.
