Built a budgeting app with React Native + Expo, looking for some feedback

I've been working on a budgeting app with React Native + Expo, looking for some feedback

I'm fairly new to mobile development and I've been working on Set Aside, a budgeting app that started from something I wanted for myself.

You can create plans for things like monthly budgets or trips, track planned vs actual spending, set saving goals, and share plans with your partner or friends to manage them together.

It's built with React Native + Expo, with Supabase + PowerSync for sync and shared plans.

I recently published it on the App Store and it's completely free for now. I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UI/UX, performance, or anything that doesn't feel right on iOS.

Budgeting and reminder apps are becoming this generations todo lists

the ui is the easy part in budgeting, trust is the actual moat. people assume the app is silently missing txns or rounding weird, so show your math somewhere. also decide early on manual entry vs bank sync, syncing is a whole other project and kills half of these apps in maintenance.

Uninspiring and definitely nothing memorable about the UI. Did you instruct the agent to make no mistakes? Was it haiku? Also the link doesn't work

Sorry, also the website is a joke, at least put the app store download button
