Hello :)
After 8 months of solo nights and weekends, I need a favor from you.
I just launched BudgetZen, a personal finance app for Android that I built because I was tired of budgeting apps asking for cloud sync, accounts, and access to my bank data just to tell me where my money went.
So I built mine the opposite way: every feature AI spending insights, budget tracking, forecasting runs entirely on the device. No account, no servers, no data ever leaving your phone.
It's a combination of features I genuinely couldn't find together anywhere else zero-based budgeting, a gamified "Zen Score," CSV bank import, project simulators, all running 100% offline and fully free in its core features. Going premium is optional, for anyone who wants extra comfort or more advanced tools; without it, the app remains fully functional on the free plan.
Here's where I need your help. As a solo indie developer with no marketing budget, the thing that moves the needle most right now isn't ads it's real downloads and honest reviews on the Play Store. If you have a few minutes:
Download BudgetZen on Android
Try it with your own budget for a few days
If it's useful to you, leave a genuine rating or comment on the Play Store even a short one helps enormously with visibility
I'm not asking for 5 stars, I'm asking for your honest experience. If something's missing or annoys you, I'd rather hear that too it's still actively being improved.
Thank you to anyone who takes a few minutes for this. It genuinely makes a difference for an indie launch.
