This is my first iOS app as an indie developer. I’ve already learned a lot building it, but this is just the beginning.

I’d really appreciate any feedback (good or bad) on:
- The app itself (if you want to try it 🙂)
- The App Store page
- The website
- Etc.

In the end I went with iOS 18+ as it still has a relevant market share.

I do plan to add some features based on foundation models on the current app but these would not be central features.

Here is the TestFlight link for my new app "Effective Expenses". If you're curious or want to help shape the direction, I’d really appreciate your input!

Looking for ideas I just went for what I needed: an expense tracker. Nothing groundbreaking, I know, but I hope I was able to give it my own twist: clean, minimal, powerful.

The app is still in early stages, but I’m at a point where I’d love to start gathering feedback!

This is extra annoying when the first app already opened in one half of the screen is YouTube. Then the extra step of first opening the second app full screen, also stops playback.
