I love my I Bill.  It is small enough and it does not matter which way  you 
stick the bill in, it will read it!

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
