Exciting idea! Is there an android version planned?

@anthemaker Thanks! I'd love to make an Android version too, but it depends on a few factors (like how well the iOS version takes off!).

Excited to see what people make of Budgel, and how it might be used!

Budgel is written in native iOS UIKit, with only open-source third-party frameworks. It doesn't use any third-party tracking or analytics, and no Google/Facebook/Twitter components at all. Would you like to see an Android version, or use it if there was one?

@alexjthurman sorry about that! Could you be more specific about how it's getting stuck and I'll look into it? Thanks.

@stephencoyle yes, when I open the app on iPad I enter in my details to create an account (next to the map) but then there are no buttons or next steps to take so I’m left stuck there! Thanks!

@alexjthurman ah, maybe try dismissing the keyboard/suggestions bar just in case that’s covering them?

First of all, This is a great idea. First impression on downloading. 1. UI & UX has to be improved a lot 2. Work around to different pages/settings is unique, But it took me sometime to figure it out (By swiping down) - It would be cool if there is a first time installation guide 3. Confirmation emails are not coming (I tried couple of times) But it didn't make it to my inbox. Looking forward to using it. Have already recommend few friends. Hope the confirmation email is fixed asap as we aren't able to leave bottles with out confirmation. Cheers!!!

@dhanushms Thanks for your thoughts, and for checking it out! Also thanks for flagging up the email issue. I think I've got a fix mostly ready, should be out for tomorrow once all the DNS changes propagate, and then I'll re-send any confirmation emails that didn't go through originally. You should receive yours then!
