Hello everybody.  
An idea: possibility to permanently change  
If a category is wrong (ex - i’d like to categorie my transactions from the pub as entertainment rather than eating out as it often happens) i want the possibility to change the categories of all of the previous transaction from that pub - and to set them for any future transaction too.  
Changing category manually every time is way too complicated and tedious.
