I'm curious what you specifically want to spend the money on? What is the magical item you must purchase in order to continue developing your software?
You were able to produce the prototype in your current situation, supporting yourself via your current means. Just keep working until you make something a lot of people care about.
Exactly. What do you need money for? Just get users to use the damn thing. Why are you so eager to give away a piece of your company?
I'm seriously flabbergasted at the whole "I need angel/VC money" mentality. You don't need money, you need users and revenues. If you need money from someone else, that might be because you're burning cash and need a slightly longer runway. That's a decent reason to go fishing for investments. But it's definitely not a necessary step in any business.
Also, angel investors have no heart. They have wallets. The only people who will invest in you because of their heart are your friends and family.

Maybe he has finished a working prototype and is looking to be out of money to pay the rent in a few months?
