There is a company that provides great services, but their mobile app just sucks. Over the past few months I've spent some time to reverse engineer their app and build my own. I am a client of theirs and I rebuilt this app just for my own personal use. I have no intention to publish it.
Is it a bad idea to let them know I've done this? Could I potentially try to sell it or license it to them, or maybe show it during the interview in case I ever decide to apply for a job at their company?
Please keep in mind that this company is in the financial services industry.

"Is it a bad idea to let them know I've done this?" - it's a terrible idea (unless you asked for and received permission beforehand).
