Roast My App

I'm looking for some critical feedback on my personal finance/budgeting app, Balance Pro. It's free to download and use.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/balance-pro-track-spending/id1537213226
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balancepro.balancepro
Web: https://app.balancepro.money/

I have bootstrapped this app and am struggling with growth. One big feature that is missing is the bank syncing feature that will import and categorize transactions. I am working to get that added as soon as I can.

What can I do to improve the app? The experience? What do you like/dislike? Open to any and all feedback.

Also feel free to roast my app's website: https://www.balancepro.money

    Your website UI is clean and the information is concise and easy to navigate. I think your app would be very helpful but I do have a suggestion. It would be great if you could sync this with your credit/debit cards and then the app could correctly identify purchases and label them with simple descriptions (ex. Amazon - coffee maker or Costco - Paper Towels "and then categorize them (Groceries, Gas, Utilities) etc. Personally, I think the more automated you can make the process the more valuable it is. Relating to your struggles with growth, would you use something like www.B2BHive.io to cross promote balancepro with other productivity tools and SaaS products? This is a tool I'm currently building to help founders like yourself grow their businesses so I'm curious to know if you think its something you would use.
