Bluecoins v13.1.34 shipped on August 28, 2026 — the latest release in the v13 line and the current version of the app.

The headline fix targets the reports flow. After using the filter dialog, changing a report’s date range and frequency could crash the app; v13.1.34 keeps the range and frequency across filters and cancels stale report jobs, so reports behave predictably after filtering. The release also fixes the transactions empty state and a loading-dialog ordering issue.

Alongside it, the v13.1.30 improvements are part of the same release line:

• Settings — a new opt-in “Enable modern predictive gesture navigation” toggle.
• Stability — a NoClassDefFoundError on Android 11 and 12 is fixed.
• Reminders — higher occurrence limits for “ends never” series.

The thread through the v13.1.x fixes is polish: report settings that survive filtering, gestures that match modern Android, and reminders that keep working for long-running series. v13.1.34 is the current version of Bluecoins on Google Play.

On June 1, 2026, Bluecoins released v13.0 — a complete rebuild of the app, from the ground up. The goal was simple to state and hard to do: a faster, more modern experience that kept every feature people relied on. Nothing was grandfathered in; the app was rebuilt around the same core promise it has always kept — an incredibly simple finance app.

The rebuild showed up across the whole app:

• Faster everywhere — faster transaction loading and a smoother app overall.
• Read-only transaction mode — open transactions without the risk of accidental edits.
• Trash with permanent delete — deleted transactions can be recovered, then removed for good.
• Custom date ranges — for reports and budgets, not just fixed periods.
• Smarter CSV import — more of the parsing decisions handled for you.
• More exchange-rate providers — including Kraken and VES, for multi-currency accounts.
• More reliable auto-backup — the cloud safety net, hardened.
• A new spend-summary widget — your spending at a glance on the home screen.

v13.0 was the first release of a rewritten codebase — the start of a new chapter for the app. Everything that has shipped since has come from that rebuild, and the v13 line continues to carry the same philosophy: simple, fast, and honest about your money.

“The moment is here” — that was the line that opened the December 2022 announcement, and it summed up a long wait. Bluecoins for iOS had arrived on the App Store, years after iOS topped the most-requested list and six months after the summer preview that let early users shape it.

The release was the fulfillment of that preview. Bluecoins for iOS shipped as a companion to the Android app, and the two platforms were designed to move together where it matters most — your data. The iOS app uses the same SQLite schema family as Android, and moving between platforms works through the formats Bluecoins users already knew: the backup file, CSV export and import, and the same cloud folder. The iOS app’s storage works with the same cloud folder you already use on Android.

The announcement was careful about what did not change. Android remained the primary platform and the app’s focus, and the app stayed free with no subscription — the iOS release was an addition, not a replacement.

Bluecoins for iOS is available on the App Store today.

In June 2022, Bluecoins took the first step toward iOS: a preview of the app was announced and opened for feedback. The announcement framed iOS as the most-requested version of Bluecoins — the question the FAQ had fielded for years — and the preview was its first real answer.

The preview was published through the App Store listing for Bluecoins, and the goal was stated plainly: let early users test the app and help shape it before the full release. The community’s feedback was treated as part of the build itself, not an afterthought.

The announcement was also careful about what stayed the same. Android remained the primary platform and the app’s focus, and the announcement repeated the model that had carried Bluecoins this far: the app stays free, with no subscription. The iOS companion app was an addition — an answer to the most-requested feature — not a replacement for Android.

The preview set up what came next. Six months later, in December 2022, the full iOS release arrived.

In July 2021, Bluecoins reached a milestone that few independently developed finance apps pass: one million downloads on Google Play. The announcement was short and full of gratitude — a thank-you to the users worldwide who made the milestone real.

Where that announcement marked one million downloads, the story has only grown since. Today the app is described with the same honest shorthand the site uses everywhere: 1M+ downloads on Google Play — deliberately imprecise, because the count keeps climbing and a fake-precise number would be wrong.

The road to one million started with recognition that put the app in front of new audiences: Google Play’s Editor’s Choice badge in 2018, and a CNN feature the same year. From there, users did the rest — the app stayed easy to recommend because it stayed simple: free with ads, no subscription, and a one-time Premium purchase for anyone who wanted an ad-free experience.

The one-million milestone was also a promise about the model. Bluecoins crossed seven figures of downloads while keeping its core deal unchanged — the app is free with ads, and Premium is a single one-time purchase, never a subscription.

In 2018, Google Play named Bluecoins an Editor’s Choice app. The badge is the Play Store’s curated recognition for apps that stand out — not a ranking, but an endorsement from Google’s own editors — and it put a small developer-built app in front of millions of shoppers who had never heard of it.

The same year brought a second, independent spotlight. In July 2018, CNN featured Bluecoins in a roundup of minimalist finance apps, describing it as “minimalist and efficient, with seamless syncing of data across devices…”. The quote captured the product philosophy that still defines the app: an incredibly simple finance app — an excellent expense tracker, budget, and money manager — without the clutter of most banking tools.

The recognition was validation for a simple bet: that personal-finance software did not need to be complicated. Bluecoins kept building on that idea — fast, offline-first entry, honest reports, and privacy by design, with no bank login.

Both honors still anchor the app’s story today. The Editor’s Choice badge and the CNN quote remain on the Play Store listing, alongside the milestone that followed a few years later: 1M+ downloads on Google Play.
