Spender - Simple Spending Tracker

Tired of all the cumbersome, complicated, and feature-heavy spending tracker apps in the iPhone App Store, I built my own.

All they need is to know how much they've spent today, this past week, or over whatever time period they're interested in. Spender lets you do exactly that. All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
