To enhance Spendesk's mobile app for better on-the-go expense tracking and approval, we need to focus on streamlining the user experience and leveraging mobile-specific capabilities.

I'll use a structured approach to tackle this problem:
- Clarifying Questions
- User Segmentation
- Pain Points Analysis
- Solution Generation
- Solution Evaluation and Prioritization
- Metrics and Measurement
- Summary and Next Steps
