Worked examples use sample data, not your account. Reference screenshots show the current app controls in a Windows preview; their example amounts may differ from this lesson. Android system prompts vary by device.

Step 1

Read the currency symbol

  1. Check the current base currency
  2. This sample uses Indian rupees
  3. The form is not a conversion tool

Check the displayed currency symbol before entering an amount; this sample uses Indian rupees.

The ordinary form does not independently change the app's base currency or convert foreign-currency spending.

Step 2

Enter the real amount

  1. Use the actual transaction amount
  2. Check digits and decimal places
  3. Correct mistakes before saving

Enter the actual amount and check the digits carefully.

This example uses five hundred. Do not copy the sample amount into your own transaction or assume a prefilled notification amount is always correct.

Step 3

Use the actual transaction date

  1. Check Date
  2. Use when the movement happened
  3. Historical interest has separate rules

Use Date for when the transaction actually happened, not simply the day you entered it.

Interest-bearing Savings and Debt changes have special historical restrictions; ordinary expense history does not inherit that thirty-day rule.

Step 4

Review and save once

  1. Check the final summary
  2. Use Save, or Cancel to leave it unsaved
  3. Complete an offered access unlock

Read the You're adding summary before recording this expense. Check the amount, category and date.

Tap Save once. If the manual-saving access offer appears, use a completed reward or regular Premium access; AI Premium and cloud consent are separate.

Cancel leaves the form unsaved. Pennie records transactions; it does not send money through your bank.

Step 5

Check the saved transaction

  1. Open Transactions
  2. Check the recorded amount and details
  3. Do not enter the same movement twice

Check that the saved row belongs to the intended date group and amount.

The verified sample retains its five-hundred-rupee amount and third-of-October date.

If a saved amount is wrong, edit the existing entry instead of adding another copy.
