The expense manager apps on the play store are either paid or have in-app purchases or contain lots of advertisements which gets a little annoying. I wanted to make an app that is simple as all the other apps on the play store but be customised as per my usage.
Many of the apps on the playstore are either very limited or too bloated (they could have just made tabbed screens 😠)
Anyways I wanted an app that could note down the expenses I made and also separate out mode of payment (like cards, cash or online wallets). a feature that is missing in the apps available today
Storing a snapshot of the bill is an added bonus. But in my house the whole month's grocery is bought at once from the supermarket. So, the bill is quite huge (its an extremely long piece of paper) and cramming that into one picture would be difficult. So, how about a video of the bill or a panoramic shot of the bill (that would be a lot of work even it is possible).
I could also incorporate a message filter that would filter out the messages that contain expenses made by my card and online wallets (I only use PayTM), along with the income I get on the wallets. This app could also record some recurring incomes and expenditures and remind me if I miss anything.
Will it be a good idea to make a central MySQL server or use Google Firebase to backup my data on the cloud and sync it with any other device , like a web-app? Oh no, I've come back to web apps. Will this thing ever leave me?
EDIT: Well putting an app that tracks your SMS's from the bank or any wallets does raise eyebrows against the personal security of an app. Is it possible to be easy to use and mush more privacy concerned. Well I consider that anyone's personal data, specially their bank transactions are not for sale. But then, how can I assure that data is private apart from stating it in bold that the data is not sold or used? An option could be by writing it in the app description in BOLD. But will that be convincing enough? Probably a app image description would impact more audiences, and comments from other users help a lot.
