I also have the iBill and love it, so for now I have not invested in either
money reader ap.  However, I think I will try out EyeNote.  My understanding
is that with both of these aps, all you have to do is line up the camera on
the iPhone and it snaps the picture for you.  No sliding the money in a slot
or pressing any buttons.  This might be valuable for when you hit it big in
Vegas and need to sort all of the money you win, Smile!  However, for those
who do not have the iBill and do have an iPhone or other iProduct with a
camera, both of these aps are a great option.  All that matters is that we
each find a way to manage our money to support our crafting.

That is coo.
However, I love my Ibill.  That way I don't have to keep taking a picture
with my phone.
I live by the motto that if its working for you.  Then don't change it until
it stops working for you.
That is the same as if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Smile.
As I said, it is cool though, and I will stick with my Ibill.
Smile.

Blessings!
Sincerely,
Melissa Green
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you
