Original Release Date for this iPhone App: July 05, 2009
Assets is a Financial Information Management application that keeps track of your assets. The app works on the basis of annual depreciation of non-financial assets, where you enter an initial purchase price, a date, set the annual depreciation percentage rate (ADPR), and a minimum value percentage rate. The program will then calculate the current value of the asset using this information. All assets are revalued daily on this basis.

For assets that do not depreciate, for example property, financial holdings, jewelry, or art/precious collections, where the current value floats up or down with market conditions, you can enter the current market value manually. This is available when you set the annual depreciation rate to zero. If you have assets that do appreciate along fixed rates, for example, bank deposits paying fixed rate income, you can toggle the ADPR% rate to minus, which will then appreciate the asset.

If you would like to record loans against assets, for example mortgages and financing loans, you can enter these details as separate assets (liabilities), by specifying a minus amount. These loans can be depreciated as normal using the ADPR% rate, or manually.

The application displays an overview screen, where the sum of all assets is broken down by category, and the totals at the bottom. There are no built in categories, you choose the categories when you add new assets (either an existing category previously entered, or enter a new category) , which you can then use to filter on the details list screen. The top value displayed is the current market value, and the bottom value is the original purchase price.

The full list screen displays the details for all assets, or filtered assets by category. The values here give the details for individual asset items. The color of the value amount indicates three states of the asset:-

Black – Asset being depreciated using the ADPR% Rate set.
Red – Asset depreciated past the minimum value percentage rate set and is set to the minimum value.
Purple – Asset not being depreciated, but market value manually set.

The preferences screen allows you to choose the sort modes for the overview and list screens (sort on current value/purchase price/A..Z), set e-mail options (send HTML mail body, send tab delimited text file, send both), and to set a password if you don’t want prying eyes to check out your assets.

For each asset you can set/take unlimited pictures and enter unlimited notes (physical device memory allowing). The picture management screen allows you to manage a photo library for each asset. The main picture view is scrollable and zoomable, and a bottom scrollable view of thumb nail images is provided.

For Backup / Export functions, the application provides an in app e-mail feature, where it will generate an elegant HTML table e-mail body, tab delimited text file (which can easily be imported into desktop applications), or both these in a single e-mail. The e-mail data sent is context sensitive, so if on overview tab, only summary details will be sent, if on details list view, all details will be sent, unless filtering specific categories, in which case just that categories items will be sent.

The user interface is designed to be a little humorous since it can be quite depressing to watch your valuable purchases slowly decrease in value.

Please note, the currency symbol, and all number/date formatting rules applied are taken from your iPhone's regional settings.
