Why do people stop using budgeting apps after 2–3 weeks?
I’ve been thinking about this while working on a personal budgeting project.
A lot of people install budgeting apps with good intentions… but after a few weeks they stop opening them.
I’m curious — for people who’ve used budgeting / expense tracking apps:
- What made you stop using them?
- Was it too much manual input?
- Too many features?
- Didn’t feel useful day to day?
- Privacy concerns?
- Or do you still actively use one?
Also, if you could design your ideal budgeting app from scratch:
What’s the one thing you’d keep and one thing you’d remove?
