Mobile App: Amount field rejects space-separated values and negative signs
in progress
Din from Lunch Money
Currently, the mobile app formats values in the editable amount field based on the currency locale settings, which in some regions use a space as the thousands separator (e.g., 2 000) or a negative sign directly in the amount field (-190 NOK). The input field does not accept spaces, or negative signs, preventing users from saving valid values. Additionally, if the amount field displays a comma as the thousands separator, but there are no decimal points (i.e. "$1,999"), saving changes would alter the amount to "$1,99" instead of maintaining "$1,999.00".
When editing transactions, the amount value should be normalized.

Mobile App: Incorrect amount thousand separator parsing when editing transactions (iOS)
E

When I open a transaction to edit it, the amount is truncated. For example, a transaction of $ 13.000,00 (thirteen thousand) is being loaded into the "Amount" field as just 13. If I hit save without noticing, my financial data is ruined.
My Environment & Regional Settings:
- Device: iPhone
- iOS Region: Uruguay
- Number Format (System): 1,234,567.89 (Comma as thousand separator, period as decimal)
- App Display: The app shows amounts using the opposite format: 13.000,00 (Period as thousand separator, comma as decimal)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Have a transaction with a value over 1,000 (e.g., $ 13.000,00).
- Tap on the transaction to edit it.
- The "Amount" field incorrectly displays "13" instead of "13000" or "13,000".
- Saving the transaction overwrites the original value with the truncated amount.
Attached evidence:
- Screenshot of my iOS regional settings.
- Screenshot of the transaction list showing the correct amount ($ 13.000,00).
- Screenshot of the edit screen showing the truncated amount (13).
This seems to be a conflict between the system's regional settings and how the app parses numbers for the input field.
