New user guide for Jabp4 & JabpLite4

I’ve been feeling guilty that the user guide which is included in the distribution zips hasn’t been updated since 2011. A lot has changed with both programs since that time. So I am working on a new user guide which is available online as a Google Docs document. I’m still tweaking the content but in the meantime you can view the new user guide here. I’ll also put a link in the Downloads section for easy reference.

I hope this new guide is useful, feel free to contact me if anything isn’t clear.

  • New Preference turns the above option on or off
  • Pending transactions are now stored in encrypted file while waiting to be imported
  • Auto-detect if amounts are entered as decimals, set Preferences accordingly
  • Updated MySpending app for WearOS (imports voice transactions to JabpLite4)
  • Google Pay readme file updated in distribution zip
  • Added instructions on joining beta programme to distribution zip
