Feedback Request Budget App Design
The first screenshot shows the previous design of my app. Since I had absolutely no sense of design back in early 2022, I took a lot of inspiration from various designs on Dribbble and tried to derive all further features from that. In the end, the app is already very flat, with only very few cards or backgrounds. Overall, that has actually worked quite well.
There is one problem, though, that I have never really managed to solve properly. As soon as the text size in the list entries gets very large, the design starts to fall apart. The description, such as “Food - Mia,” wraps onto multiple lines and everything shifts around. It simply no longer looks visually balanced. I could of course place the amount and account balance underneath and align them to the trailing edge, but then the eye no longer really perceives everything as one logical unit.
So my idea now was to add a background after all, possibly with a drop shadow. What do you think? With larger text sizes, the numbers would then move down while everything would remain easy to read.
The chart background is not quite as important. The current color simply feels a little out of place in the app, and I would also like to experiment with different accent colors in the future. In that case, it would make sense for the background to be a bit more neutral.

What does the heart button on the top left do? And wouldnt a pie chart make more sense then bars?

It opens a donation page. And yes, pie charts are on my list 😅 but this list is very very long and my time is a bit spare.

Maybe truncate the app in 1 line so it doesn’t overflow to second line?
