Iteration #1: Historical Transaction Data
Currently, users can only view their spending from the current month.
We wanted to add a feature allowing users to view past transactions from each month, allowing them to compare it to their current month of spending.

Iteration #2: Adding a Category
We wanted to enhance the "Add Category" button, but also keep visual consistency within the current categories.
We designed a button to increase usability, giving users a bigger face to click while keeping the button consistent with the current categories.
