Steadwell
Hello, and thank you
So I decided to make an app…
Thanks for being willing to fill this out. I'm making a couple's financial app with a goal to create better money conversations, not money arguments — something that brings you together on finances rather than pushing you apart.
I want to make sure it considers other couples, their preferences, processes and pain points. Answer what you'd like, type anything or nothing at all, and leave it completely anonymous. Your responses stay private and aren't shared.
Before you start, so it isn't a surprise at the end: Steadwell is an iPhone and iPad app today, and there is no Android version yet. Android is something I'd like to do and it isn't ruled out — if enough people here ask for it, it moves up the list. But it isn't close, so I don't want you filling this in expecting an app you can install this year.
Once a beta is available with Apple, I'd love for you to give it a test drive. Let me know at the end so I can add you to my list.
Thank you SO much for taking this journey with me!

How you handle it today
No wrong answers here — "nothing, really" is a real answer and a useful one.
01
Your accounts are…
Anything you want to add about how you two split things? Say as much or as little as you like.
02
Who actually keeps track?
Anything about how that works day to day? Say as much or as little as you like.
03
What are you using now? Tick all that apply.
What works about it, and what doesn't? Say as much or as little as you like.
04
How often do the two of you talk about money on purpose?
Anything you'd change about how often it comes up? Say as much or as little as you like.
05
What usually starts that conversation?
Where it gets fiddly
The practical side — what actually gets in the way. Skip anything you would rather not answer.
06
When money comes up, what makes it harder than it needs to be?
Anything else that gets in the way? Say as much or as little as you like.
07
Would you two actually sit down together for ten minutes a week?
What would have to be true for it to actually happen? Say as much or as little as you like.
08
What would make you skip it in a given week?
09
Steadwell asks you to type transactions in yourself — no bank login. Thoughts?
No bank connection and no automatic import — every transaction is typed in. I would rather know now if that is an app you wouldn't want to use.
Tell me more — this one decides a lot about the app. Say as much or as little as you like.
10
If entering a transaction by hand takes ten seconds, what would keep it from feeling like a chore?
Anything else that would make it painless? Say as much or as little as you like.
11
Pick the three that would matter most to you two.
What's missing from that list? Say as much or as little as you like.
12
How much of each other's spending would you actually want to see?
Steadwell can show both of you every purchase as it happens. I'd like to know whether that's welcome or a bit much.
Anything you'd want to keep to yourself, even from each other? Say as much or as little as you like.
13
What would this app have to do to make it worth using?
The most useful question on here, if you only answer one.
Trust, price, and staying in touch
14
What would stop you installing a money app at all?
Anything else that would put you off? Say as much or as little as you like.
15
If it worked well, what would feel fair to pay?
Whatever happens here, your own data stays free forever — all of it, including export. I'd only ever charge for the two-person side.
What makes an app worth paying for, to you? Say as much or as little as you like.
16
Want to leave your name? Entirely optional.
The beta is through Apple, so it's iPhone and iPad. Which do you use?
17
Anything else? Including "this is a bad idea because…"
