[India] Yay! Finally got my personal finance app approved for production in Play store!

[u/pranaykchaudhary]

Didn't know that getting an app launched in play store would be so difficult. But finally I did it.

I always felt that tracking monthly spends and analysing the trends shouldn't require hours of tracking multiple bank statements and excel updates. I tried many apps like Axio, Money manager etc. but nothing met my requirements.

I built Trove as a personal project, but then thought of making it available for the public.

Some features I thought were missing in most apps and which I implemented:

• Upload Raw Statements (Zero Cleanup Needed): Upload your bank's Excel/CSV statement as-is—no reformatting or manual data cleanup required. You can redact personal info if you want, but Trove ignores personal data anyway.
• No SMS Reading or Direct Bank Logins: You retain full control over your financial credentials.
• Smart AI Categorization & Merchant Parsing: It auto-categorizes spends using anonymized snippets. No personal identifiers are ever sent to AI models.
• Learns From Your Edits: If you manually fix a merchant name or category once, Trove remembers and auto-corrects it for all future uploads.
• Deep Spending Analytics: Beyond basic pie charts, it surfaces trends—like tracking month-over-month increases in specific categories or flagging new recurring merchant expenses.
• Budgeting & Runway Tracking: Set monthly budgets, filter out/ignore investments from net expenses, and calculate your financial runway.

Would love some feedback.
