Cruising Kitty

Cruising Kitty makes it easy to manage the expenses of a sailing trip with the smart phone. The treasurer will not miss the complicated post calculation on the end to split the costs.

The app is working like a traditional kitty. You establish a boat kitty fund. The Crew pays deposits to the kitty (one time or repeated). The common expenses will be debited from the kitty. During the clearing Crusing Kitty shows a credit balance or overdraft for every Crew Member.
