New android app: True Loan Rate Calculator

Have just uploaded a new application to the Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andtek.wetnose.ecp - True Loan Rate(formerly, True Borrowing Cost). TLR helps you to compare real costs of loans (mortgage, mainly) in different banks: it is a relative measure. It calculates loan annuity and differential payments.

TLR takes into account a lot of different parameters that banksIt mainly reflects Russian mortgage system, but math is same across the world and many if not most loan calculations are same also, so you can apply them locally. Please, feel free to ask any questions.

JustExpenses

Idea behind the application is to have an application which is quick and pleasant to use, has nothing disturbing in control and UI. I tried to make it maximum unobtrusive, which, I think, I succeeded.

One of the things I like is the paging through expense screen by finger. It is not ideal, but it really cool and one of the things other applications don't offer.

Meet the JustExpenses:

+ It has just what you need to track money spent

+ pleasure to use: no extra elements on screen, nice paging
+ quick: write down expense in 2 types + 2 clicks
+ easy
+ it IS powerful enough: sorting, filtering, grouping

A-to-Z Notes

A-to-Z Notes (paid version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andtek.reference, free, ad-aware version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andtek.reference.trial) is a type of notes archive (I used to call it reference, "A-to-Z notes" is a marketting name), with simple, yet highly effective grouping system: all the notes are added to a Letter of an Alphabet.
This way, you can easily find your note, months after you put it there, enough that you know what it is about.
I have similar system on my PCs, applied as part of the GTD, in the form of folder/files.

The application currently implemented with the minimal functionality: just adding, seeing, editting notes. I didn't have much time during last days to work on it, but I plan to improve it to make it fully-functional. Among the things I want and plan to add, ordered by priority from highest to lowest:

• photo notes
• audio notes
• sd card backup
• search
• widget

These are the main big steps. Some enhancements planned to current state:

• decrease the number of movements in reaching the desired note 
• settings: ability to set default language
• ability to quick add note from other applications using the "share" menu

The last three are suggested by Robin, and I'm very grateful for that.

Known bugs:

+ scrolling issue in View mode still not fully resolved - will add the fix with one of the major releases

All and any suggestions/complaints/thanks/hellos are welcome and can be added to this message as a comment or on the ksasdk@gmail.com. 

You can also support it, if you like the app, by giving some stars on the Android market. Thanks!
