Often apps like expense tracking are essentially spreadsheets (or basic databases) with a front end and a price tag on top. Over the years, I've found that even my intermediate Google Sheets skills are sufficient to make a good app, with or without starting
from a free or really cheap Sheets or Excel template. Just a thought. <br>

Broadening the topic, at my firm for ~2 years now I've been structuring all folders/files such that even fairly complex procedures are guided right at the site of action, so that a good general tech user needs minimal training nor the need to click off to a
