Release Notes Version 1.8.0

Features

DRIP transactions

The app now supports a third type of stock transaction: Dividend ReInvestment Plan (DRIP) transactions.

DRIP transactions can be used to explicitely tell the 22 Dividends app that you have reinvested dividends. This enables the app to calculate the performance gain caused by the reinvested dividends.

Using DRIP transactions is optional. You can also continue using ordinary BUY transactions instead. However, it limits the app’s possibility to estimate your correct dividend growth performance.

Please note: we will extend the performance charts for DRIP transactions in later versions. Meanwhile, you can already add your DRIP transactions.

Improved Dividend Prediction

The dividend calendar predicts future dividend payments. In earlier versions, dividends were predicted per month. Now, the dividend prediction is done per stock position. So, you can see whether you are entitled to a dividend payment in the calendar for each stock.

Predicted dividend payments are visualised in gray italic text.

Moreover, we also improved the prediction of the future dividend value.
