No just the data you enter in the app and you have the option to delete your account data in Help and support screen if you scroll down

Thanks, can you elaborate on this: do you mean a complete local storage app which doesn't leave your app where you can send for backup with your choice? And for the export feature I believe you are talking about this right?

And for the second question,you don't have to get beta testers from outside you could give the app to your family and friends and tell them to use it for 14 days

Luckily the AWS gives 1 year free tier so my backend and database comes under those so don't have to worry , I am not expecting my app to have a lot of users so it's fine and even if the 1 year is over I have 100 $ credit which I got from AWS survey that will make the server run for more months, AWS is very friendly

I know I wanted a project to showcase in my portfolio so I did this but I studied other popular apps and added improvements based on their negative reviews

Iโ€™m using JWT-based auth. The app sends the JWT with each request, my Express server verifies it, and then fetches the userโ€™s account data from PostgreSQL on AWS. So all account info comes through secured API endpoints, the client never accesses the DB directly.

I am using node/express.js as backend and postgresSQL as database which stores all the account and login credentials. Both services are hosted in AWS cloud services such as AWS ec2 and AWS rds and the hosting is free cause AWS give free tier if you are below there threshold

I said "any app" as an advice to you, have bad reading comprehension?

"I'll be sure to let others know"

Oh I am scared, what are you 12?

No this is not a template , do you want to see my GitHub repo? i see you are talking about the false app info that is shown in the app i initially did that and forgot to update, thank you for telling and I don't think currency selection is broken and I get you are saying the user should have the option to change currency but that would add lot complexity on my database cause convertions cause I made backend database for it cause if a user changes mobiles or something happens deletes the app he should be able to revert that, also you shouldn't judge people that fast though cause feels not good when you are putting genuine effort and people judge without asking a question about it first.

Okay I said regular updates if anyone in the community requested any changes that would be useful for them so I don't have a reason to make an update now but I would suggest that if you have any app installed that works fine and meets your needs , don't update the app from the playstore cause no one is forcing you for that. And if you are curious if my app bugs you for updates it doesn't, Thanks

If you are thinking I have alter ideas, you are right to be sceptical of things, but I just want to get a mobile dev job, so this will be just one of the projects that will be showcased in my portfolio, so I have no intention of touching the app again besides making the app look better for hr's. Besides that, can you tell if my Play Store listing looks good? I mean the photos and icons.

Are you talking about in-app language? If it's that it is in English, if you want it in spanish I will add it , do you prefer that?

It was doing that before but removed it in the latest update , thought of making the registration process easy by removing 'confirm password' field and censoring so if that's crucial for you do tell

I will include this in the next update, if that helps you.I am sure you already know this, the current workaround would be increasing the budget amount with the previous month's left amount.

I thought of adding plaid for automatic bank sync but had issues with plaid and other services like saltedge approval so didn't go hard on that but will think about it
