Track Payment Deadlines

Have you had the experience of just paying some tax, traffic tickets, or parking fee one or two days late, and having to pay fine? This really makes people upset about such kind of innocent fine.

In our daily life, there are many deadlines of payments: tax, parking fee, traffic ticket, telephone fee, electric fee, tab water fee, school registration fee, insurance fee, community management fee, membership fee, credit card fee, loan, ...... To pay before the deadline is sometimes very important to prevent unnecessary cost of fine or interest, or to keep the right of discount, membership or service.

So, what can you do with these issues? If you have iPhone or iPod Touch, ExpireTrack can help you by keeping records of the deadlines, getting a list of going-to-expire report by a click, and warning you by Google calendar. You can get ExpireTrack at iTunes Store.

As Mr. Warren Buffet said: Don't waste your money on unnecessary things.

Make Best Use of Coupons

In daily life, we get coupons from many channels: junk mails, Ad flyers, creadit card bills, store web sites, store catalogues, coupon web sites, etc. However, since the purpose of coupons are drawing people to the stores in short time, coupons have expiration dates. The coupons we collect are usually for the stores/companies which are in our neighborhood, we frequently buy from, or we may visit or have something interesting that we are considering to buy or enjoy time there before their coupons' expiration dates.

For my case, I get many Ad flyers or catalogues in my mail box every week. They mostly come from the stores I frequently visit. If there are something useful, I put the useful flyers in the fix place, ensuring that I can find them when I would like to use them. Somtimes I will google web sites, and check out the coupons for the cafes or restaurants I would like to go, or for something I especially woud like to buy. I prefer to print out coupons whenever I find them on line, because the coupon pages may change or no more available sometimes.

It may be good to have planed shopping. However, if you are the person in liberal style, it may be better to carry the coupons in a small bag, and check out the coupons when you just drop by some stores by the way. However, do you know what coupons you have collected? and whether they have been expired?

Have you ever thought that you may have a list to look up instead of digging in a bunch of paper, or would you like to be notified a week ago before whatever coupons are expired? If you have iPhone, you may find the solution ---ExpireTrack. It can let you take a photo of your coupon, and input expiration date and simple description. It can also let you syn the data to Google calendar, and notify you by e-mail for those which will be expired within a specific time you set. Or you can just excute its report and find out which are going to expire. Of course, you can also see all the items you have collected in your coupon category.

Get Service before the Warranty Expiration Date

Have you ever called for repair just few days after the warranty expiration date, and end up to pay hundred bucks which should be free of charge if you had called for repair earlier? I have the experience on that. My notebook CD ROM was not workable for few days, but I did not call for service immediately. Just missing few days, my notebook was no more under warranty. I had to pay for fixing the CD ROM, and this made me feel very unworthy. I did not use CD ROM often, so I gave us the repairment, but it made my notebook handicapped. Whenever I need to install driver of a printer or a card reader, I need to bother others to read the CD for me, then get the driver file from internet or a flash drive. Recently, I also heard of some person's story that he just called several hours late after the expiration date for car engine issue, but got no more warranty service. This really made him piss off. I am thinking how to prevent this situation. If a thing is just broken after the expiration date, we can do nothing for it. However, sometimes, things were damaged for a while, but we were just too busy to ask for service right away. If we have a warning mechanism to remind us the expiration date, this may help us to prevent the unnecessary cost. ExpireTrack is such kind of iPhone/iPod Touch application that offers simple way to record expiration date of anything, including Warranty and Insurance, etc. It can notify users at the specific time before each thing's expiration date by Google calendar, or show all the things on iPhone/iPod Touch which will be expired in report under the condition set by users. Hmmm...so, ExpireTrack can also reduce unnecessary cost for missing the warranty time.

Stop Wasting by ExpireTrack

""Oh, no, the strawberry jam has gone bad, what a pitty."

"You should mind its expiration date."

"I know, but too many stuffs in fridge."

Does the conversation familiar to you?

It is quite difficult for us to make sure we eat all the foods or vitamin stuffs which are stored into our closets or refrigerators.

I feel guilty to have to process the spoiled foods or throw away the expired medicines when I think of that there are still some people starving on earth. Sometimes, we would like to buy grocery in quantity to save money, but we may forget whether some may already be in our stock,or we may forget/be too busy to arrange the comsumption. It makes the earlier saving intention meaningless.

This is quite a headache to me. But now I have the solution. ExpireTrack can prevent such waste.

It lets you record each tracking item by just taking a picture by iPhone, and write location and expiration date for this item. You can set the warning time of each tracking item's expiration date that it will give you a coming-expired list on iPhone or send you an e-mail notification through Google calendar. Check ExpireTrack , it just costs few bucks but will save you hundred or thousand dollars for long run.

Of course, we still have to remind ourselves "never buy too much and keep healthy life style--don't eat too much >_+".
