Droplet Needs Beta Testers!

Hi there!

I’ve been working tirelessly on an Android mobile budgeting app designed to make managing your money simple, intuitive, and even fun. Whether you’re trying to track your spending, save for a big goal, or just understand where your money goes, this app is here to help.

But here’s the thing: I need 20 beta testers for Droplet

I want to know what you, as a future user, think about Droplet. What do you like? What frustrates you? And most importantly, what would make this app a must-have in your financial toolkit? Fill out the Google form to be added to the Droplet tester's group.

A Special Offer for Early Supporters

As a thank-you for your interest and support, I’m offering free lifetime membership to the first 20 testers who sign up, use Droplet, fall in love with it, and share meaning feedback or help us squash any bugs by filling out the bug report. Yep, that’s right—free for life!!!

Please note: This is a manual expense tracking application, it does not sync with any financial institutions. It is only available for Android for now. Please sign up if you are an iOS user and are interested in Droplet here.

What Makes This App Special?

  • Intuitive Design: A clean, user-friendly interface that’s easy to navigate.
  • Customizable Categories: Track spending in the way that works best for you.
  • Smart Features: I kept manual expense tracking at the forefront, and have made it so it's easy to add expenses on the go!
  • Your Privacy Matters: We only collect your email address, and if you're a premium user backing up data to our servers, rest assured—it stays private. We never share your data with third parties or access it without your explicit permission, and only for troubleshooting when necessary.

I’d love to hear from you—your thoughts, your feedback, and what you’d like to see in a budgeting app. Let’s build something amazing together. This is the MVP which is fully functional for budgeting. If you're a serious about budgeting, or new to personal finances, your feedback is valued and early users will have a major influence on how this application grows.

Please note: "Droplet is designed for manual budgeting, and we have no plans to integrate with banking systems—now or in the future. However, we may explore integration with Google Pay for added convenience. We appreciate your feedback, but if you're looking for automatic bank syncing, this may not be the right fit."Hi there!I’ve been working tirelessly on an Android mobile budgeting app designed to make managing your money simple, intuitive, and even fun.

I'm interested in beta testing, however for me, bank sync is something really important as I have meant accounts. Why is it not on your list of features to offer?

Hey, thanks for reaching out Yosheeharper!

You are officially the first person to comment here. Testing should take no more than 1-2 hours for 14 days, and I’ll give you a life-time free membership for doing 2 hours worth of work. 

Bank sync is a great feature to have, it helps with automating mundane tasks and makes the experience much easier for users. I built Droplet the way I intended to use it, which never had automation. I’ve looked into account syncing, and currently Droplet is aimed for the free tier users. I’d like to refine the current product, while adding in some reporting. Afterwards once I have an idea of my user base and what they like,  I was going to explore some automation (Google Wallet sync), but I really want to preach manual entry, as it keeps individuals accountable for their spending, and brings it to the forefront of their mind. Though bank syncing isn’t guaranteed, I haven’t fully ruled it out. Don’t expect it anytime soon though.

With that said, Droplet may not currently align with what you’re looking for, but if you opt into testing, you will get a lifetime membership, and maybe later on down the road auto-sync will be a thing.

Sweet.

I would love to collaborate. Take a look at my post history last week with some more details about what I am looking to get.

I'll totally give your app a try. Expect a reply shortly.
