Goals/Objectives:

Overall budget tracking, but with a deeper focus on repetitive spending/saving. Our app solves the problem of having to dig around to find forgotten and unwanted subscriptions. We benefit users by showing how much they save by making their own meals rather than dining out.

Target Audience:

Our target audience is young adults who have some trouble or inexperience in managing finance. Our app doesn't cater to those with significant difficulty, nor to those who track finances flawlessly. Rather, we focus on the middle group with an easy-to-use interface and user-friendly analysis. Our name, which is a pop-culture reference, lends itself to the interests of young adults as well.

Scope:

features and functions include:

  • An overall finance report with user input to add, delete, or modify entries.
  • A meal tracker that, once the total cost of ingredients is inputted, implements a counter to track how many meals the given recipe provided for, and shows money saved per meal based on average fast food meal cost.
  • Subscription tracker that tracks total cost of subscriptions (per month/year/total), shows individual subscription cost, and how long the user has been subscribed to each service. User input: management (add, delete, modify) for subscription services, meal tracker, budget report, and account details

Data incorporation:

Returning User’s data will be drawn from a database CSV. both New and Returning users’ modification to data will update the provided CSV.

UI Design:

Conclusion:

Though many similar products exist on the market, our app differs by providing an engaging interface that displays often-overlooked financial data, providing an excellent supplement to any standard budgeting app. We hope that our app will help many people to save more and budget in ways that will improve their finances.
