I started building my first Android app a few months ago because I noticed most finance trackers felt too bloated for me.

Too many charts, subscriptions, bank syncs, and complicated onboarding just to add one expense.

So I started building something much simpler focused on:

fast expense logging

minimal UI

no forced bank connections

local-first experience

I'm curious:

what makes you keep or uninstall a finance app?

I’d genuinely like feedback before continuing development.

The app is called Fino: Expense Tracker & Budget if anyone wants to look it up.

For the last few months I’ve been building my first Android app — a minimal expense tracker called Fino.

At first I thought the hardest part would be adding features:

statistics, categories, exports, premium functionality, and so on.

But after releasing the app and getting the first users, I realized something completely different:

people don’t leave because a small app has fewer features.

They leave when the first experience feels confusing or empty.

That changed how I think about product design a lot.

So recently I’ve been focusing much more on:

- onboarding

- first impressions

- empty states

- clarity and UX flow

The core idea behind Fino is still very simple:

a lightweight finance app without the clutter that many budgeting apps have today.

Still learning a lot as I go, but I’d really love honest feedback from other builders and Android users.
