About That iPhone App …

We know that the normal flow of getting an iPhone app is that you go to the iPhone App Store, search for the app, and then download it. So, since ours is a little out-of-the-ordinary, it might not be as direct a process. So we wanted to give a quick visual guide to getting the PearBudget app on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Step 1: The “+” button

The first thing you’ll do is to log in to your normal PearBudget account. Once you’re looking at the “logged in” screen (like the one above), just click on the “+” button at the bottom of your screen.

Step 2: “Add to Home Screen”

Your “home screen” is your normal view of your iPhone, showing all of your apps. We’re going to add PearBudget to that listing of apps. Just click the middle button, the one that says “Add to Home Screen”.

Step 3: The Waiting is the Hardest Part

Actually, the waiting isn’t hard. It just takes a second, and you’ll be rewarded with a special PearBudget icon for your home screen. Oop! Here it is!

Step 4: “Add”

Just poke that “Add” button in the very top-right corner of the screen, and you’ll now have a shiny new PearBudget app on your iPhone.


Ta-da! That’s it. If you have any questions, just let us know!
