IOU, an online abbreviation for "I Owe You", provides you the tools to keep track of anything you borrow - or others borrow from you.

Never forget about that money you lended to your little brother, and keep your friends happy by paying them back on time.

Key elements are an easy-to-use interface that fits your phone's theme, and high performance.

IOU started as a personal Silverlight learning project. The concept had potential, but the execution was unfulfilling. By the time I had mastered the Silverlight basics I began a complete, structured rewrite, with the final application as result.



Features:

- Keep track of all the stuff people borrowed from you, or you borrowed from them;
- Keep track of both borrowed items and money;
- Edit loans to keep them up to date, or to correct mistakes;
- View an overview of your loans in a mixed list, as well as separate lists for what you owe others or they owe you;
- "Glance and Go" design philosophy: you can see most information about a loan right there in the overview list, without having to tap it to see all of its details;
- Animated page transitions for a smooth and visually-appealing interface.
- Full theme-integration, using the background and accent color from your phone;
- Choose one out of four different tiles to fit in with your theme.



Some random facts:

- I intend to update the app regularly, adding new features and polishing existing functionality;
- IOU will always have a fully featured, free version available;
- This is the first application I've submitted, and the only application I've submitted so far.
