What actually makes you stick with an expense app? (building one solo, want to learn from you)

Hi PH 👋

I'm Dogukan, building ExpenseSpy — a receipt scanner for individuals (freelancers, travelers, small biz owners). Launching June 17, solo, no funding.

Honest backstory: I'm not someone with a shoebox of receipts myself. But I kept hearing the same complaint everywhere — receipts piling up, multiple currencies, hours lost typing into spreadsheets. Most existing tools are built for finance teams of 50, which feels like overkill for one person.

So I built something simpler: snap a receipt → AI reads merchant/date/amount/currency → export to Excel, CSV, or PDF. Multi-currency from day one, grouped by trip or project.

Before launch, I'd genuinely love to hear from this community:

→ If you've used expense apps before — what made you stop?

→ If you haven't — what would actually convince you to start?

→ For travelers / freelancers here: what's the one thing every expense tool gets wrong?

Not looking for upvotes, just real input. Whatever you share helps me ship something people actually want to keep open.

Thanks 🙏
