Update: The Android App is now live! Click here for more info.
Want to be one of the first to see the new Budget Your Trip Android App? Become one of the Beta Testers! The application is now ready for public testing. If you’re interested, you can send us a message. We’ll then get back to you with instructions on how to get the application onto your phone. It’s not yet on the Android Marketplace, but as a Beta Tester you can get a sneak peak!
Your phone will need to be running Android version 1.6 or higher.
The Budget Your Trip Android application was designed to work along with the Budget Your Trip website. Once you login to the application, you will be able to create a new trip (or select an existing one) and then add actual expenses and estimated expenses to your trip’s budget, just like on the website. Everything you do in the application will be reflected on the website. Likewise, you can enter expenses on the website and see your averages and totals update in the Android application. This way, you can travel lightly with your phone and enter your budget information. When you get home, you can then visit the website to see all of the charts, graphs, tables, maps, and other information about your trip’s budget.
If you’d like to join the public Beta, please contact us with your name, email, and the type of phone you have.

The very first bug happens when trying to login and clicking onto the Email-field. Instead of opening the keyboard my HTC Desire just goes back to the start screen ;)
We just caught that. A few users without pop out keyboards were encountering a similar problem. It’s a quick fix and the updated version is now available. You’ll need to redownload it from the website. Thanks for the catch!
We’ve also made some corrections with date entry.
