Really interesting idea. I had a similar idea for a financial management app, but the use of location is really clever! Hit me up if you are serious about doing an iOS version. I would be interested in contributing.

Can't find your email in your profile. Can you re-add it?
USP is our ambient sensing platform which shows you how much you've spent at a business, and your receipts for that place the moment you arrive there.
16K+ downloads and makes us about $50-100 per month (varies based on the month). Free app but Monetization is via in-app purchases (unlimited expense reports) and ads.
Expenses: $5 per month with a Digital Ocean droplet that hosts the website. Haven't had any maintenance issues and the app has been on auto-pilot mode for last 1 year.
With some repolish of the UI, this app has tremendous potential. A competing app with half the features but prettier UI ramped up to half-million downloads in 6 months.
If someone offers the right price, willing to sell it. Alternatively, also interested if someone wants to work with us on an iPhone app on an equity or rev-share basis.
