This is a project for NUS Orbital 2016. Though the project has already ended, we plan to continue working on the application to further develop our planned features when time permits.

Project name             : Tap n Track

Student names          : Tan Wei, Alagappan Lakshmi 
Level of achievement: Project Gemini 

Our updated plans for each milestone:-
Milestone 1 (Project Ideation):

• Finalise on the project idea and the workflow of the application
  
• Decide on the modes available and the basic tabs in the application
  
• Finish learning Java
  
• Learn Android and CRUD in Android
  

Milestone 2 (creating a Minimum Viable Project):

• Finish the learning phase
  
• Implement a basic working application 
  
• Get navigation panel done
  
• Work on the user interface of the application
  

Milestone 3 (Minimum Viable Project):

• Further substantiate the learning phase
  
• Implement pop up for expense as well as CRUD 
  
• Further improve navigation panel
  
• Work on the user interface of the application
  

Provided that we are able to finish building the basic features of Tap n Track, we also plan to work on some of these extensions:-

• Feedback form for users that is in sync with google form
  
• EZ-Link card history integration
  
• Feature to export the information to excel sheet
  
• Allow users to take photo of their receipts as inputs of expenditures
  
• A mode for group projects and collaboration. Sync with other users (eg. for groups, enable read-only mode for viewers and editable mode for collaborators)
  

We also plan to have the following features in the application:-

• Overview which allows two modes - Budget and Normal
  
• Each mode shows the income,expenditure, balance and the analysis of the expenditure
  
• Users to be able to input income or expenditure with a description and associate it with one of the many categories
  
• History of the inputs sorted by date
  
• Income tab shows the income in different categories (cash, cards etc)
  
• Expenditure tab shows the expenditure either by date or by category
  
• In the Settings, we plan to allow the user to customise the application with different colours and personalised categories (if possible)
  

1. As a user, I want to monitor my finances well with a simple and user-friendly application that has a nice user interface. 
   
2. As a user, I want to login to my account to input new income or expenditure with a description, or to view and manage my money flow.
   
3. As a user, I want to set a budget for my expenses and be notified before or when I overspend.
   
4. As a user, I want to set recurring expenses so that I do not have to input the same expenses every month.
   
5. As a user, I want to export my money flow history so that I can keep a record or share it with others, such as my family.
   
6. As a non-administrative user, I want to view and keep track of the budget and money flow with my groupmates or working partners.
   
7. As a mobile application developer, I want to receive feedback from the users of my application and regularly improve and update my application to provide good user experience.
