January updates for Finanzy: demo data, better expense classification & stability improvements

January was a big month for Finanzy. I focused on improving both the onboarding experience and how users engage with their spending habits — with a few key updates I’m really excited about:

✅ Demo data for new users
I’ve added a feature that lets users explore Finanzy using demo accounts, categories, and transactions — all localized based on language and currency. It’s been a game-changer for onboarding. People now get to experience the app without needing to add real data first.

💡 Wants vs. Needs classification
One feature that users kept asking for: being able to separate "wants" and "needs" when tracking expenses. That’s now live. This helps users better understand their spending behavior, especially when viewing monthly reports with visual charts.

⚙️ Performance boosts + ad support
As part of app sustainability, ads are now shown to non-premium users (premium stays ad-free). I’ve also made performance improvements to make the app faster and more reliable overall.

Finanzy is still growing slowly, but steadily. Each update is shaped by what I hear from users and what I wish existed in the personal finance space myself.

If you’re building something similar or have thoughts on how to improve the UX of finance apps — I’d love to hear from you.
