My personal bias is that anytime I see on a software company's website footer that they're a GmbH, I know it will be selling high quality, durable, reliable software ;)
Congrats on your continued success!

#13Looks great, and I was also happy to see that it has offline capabilities and will sync once you have a signal. There needs to be more apps built using this model.
I've done a similar app and this was basically the reason why I'm discontinuing the app. You didn't have a polished offline-first sync solution back in the days and my homemade sync code is a spaghetti soup.

#14Some basic questions from a cybersecurity vulnerability researcher:
- what kind of authentication protocol stack is used
- what algorithm is used for network protocol encryption (hash, block, encryption)
- is data centrally stored, if so, is it encrypted at rest? Key stays in phones?
- any accounting audit done? (Moot but just a check mark in a small-family-business-oriented checkbox)
Great pricing!!

#15How do you market your software?
Did you learn how to become a marketer and took it as a persona? What have you learned how to market your software in the past 20 years as a developer?

#16Nice project! I built a CLI budgeting project a long time ago, and what made me stop using my own project was the lack of automated integration with my bank accounts. At that point I had many credit cards, multiple bank accounts, in different currencies, and integrating all expenses was just too much manual work.
I wish financial institutions were better at automated exports of your financial data, given the right permissions of course.

which Rechtsform would you expect instead then for "high quality, durable, reliable software"? :-D

#18How many users?
Na, how many subscriptions/ARPU/churnrate and all this stuff are the relevant KPI here :-)
Maintaining it for 14+ years is a huge effort, so I expect somehow a stable business model behind it?

Congrats, really a long-run marathon!

#20The questions that come to mind for me:
1. How long after releasing the iOS app did you start on an Android version?
2. Are you using some kind of cross-platform framework, or are the apps mostly “mobile-friendly web views”?
3. How much code is shared between the three architectures?
4. How much of the app functionality is “server based” instead of “on device”?
