Fantastic app, clean, functional
Love this app! It’s *almost* everything I’ve been looking for in order to track upcoming expenses and bills. It’s clean, minimal, easy to use, has tons of built-in services to select from, but allows you to create your own custom ones as well. Just a few small suggestions that would make this app amazing.
- Upon initially launching, allow a user to just select all the subscription services first. This would make setup so much faster than having to search each one out and set it up one at a time. I actually entered all of mine *blank* to begin with just to get them all selected, then went back in and configured each one.
- Allow a preference to display the upcoming due date as either a relative span of time (2 weeks) or the actual date (Sept 15, 2018). Would much rather see the actual date. I actually used the Description field to simply add “3rd, 11th, 21st, 30th” etc to indicate the date of the month that expense is due on.
- Add a Categories field. While I know the intent of the app is to track subscriptions, I’m actually using it to track expenses beyond that, including utilities, bills, etc., and I’d love to be able to put each expense into a category and view those lists either collectively, or separately.
Again, love the app, highly recommend it! Would love to see just a few small tweaks which would make it much more useful.

Doesn’t Do Math Very Well
The app itself is straight forward, which I like. Keep track of a running list of subscriptions, including their recurring cost and frequency. Sweet!
The app tries to go the extra mile to include a handy little summary bar at the bottom that shows your averages. This can be toggled to display your weekly, monthly, or yearly average cost for subscriptions. However, the math just doesn’t add up.
Oh well. At least the list feature is nice.

Great App
I’ve been using the stock iOS Notes app to track expenses. Needless to say it’s a very tedious process to keep up with and make changes. I’ve downloaded and tried numerous apps to track expenses of bills. All had too many features and took too long to set up. Bobby is quick to set up, visually it’s easy on the eyes, I live it adds up the expenses for me. Keep up the great work. Worth at least the .99 to get up and running.

Currency converting is broken
I have bills in different currency (USD, TWD, CNY), this app just won’t show average expense right. For example I have $10/month and TWD$300/month bills, due to the converting rate USD:TWD ~= 1:30 I should have a monthly average expense TWD$600 or $20, however this app just showing me a strange and totally nonsense number like TWD$315, totally useless, I just can’t know how much I need to pay per month, which was why I pay for this app.
Hope you can fix this soon.

Love this app _ However
Keeping track of all your subscriptions even if you know the dates they are though still helps. The beauty of this app is, you subscribe to something, maybe free trial ? Fill it in the app, boom won’t forget to cancel and get a unlikely charge.
Bi-weekly payments ? Can’t member which week your bill is due ? Boom, thank you bobby.
It even tells you your average expenses for the month, week, and year (neat). Without signing in through your bank account.
However.... No widget... You only get a reminder for your bill once, one week is enough time, but set it up to remind you on the same day, it’s kinda pointless. Most businesses require a cancellation 2-3 days prior. However if it’s a Bill like say a utility it’s a different perspective.
Thank you, looking forward to future updates with more fonts & themes

Is Bobby app draining my battery fast?
While the app is easy to use, I have had the battery on both my iPhone and iPad ,where I have installed the app, draining at a very fast rate.
When I deleted this app from iPhone, the battery life was much better.
I am considering deleting the app from my iPad as well.
Is there a known problem, or a fix available?

Exactly what you need!
I browsed the whole U.K. store looking for a good app and after finding out that a lot either only use USD as the currency and/or only work with US Accounts, then I found Bobby.
It’s a great app from top to bottom, with a lot of customisation available for the picky users like myself.
It took me ages to download but don’t regret wasting time (maybe data too) with the bad apples, just download Bobby.

Could be good
The app does a great job of displaying subscriptions in an easy to read manner but some key issues stop it from being useful. For starters, notifications are extremely flakey, firing for roughly 1 in 10 subscription reminds set. What good is a subscription manager service if it doesn’t notify you when your next payment is coming up?
Also not a critical issue but this app would benefit from an Apple Watch companion app. A simple list view of subscriptions would suffice.

Love it. Would like better customization.
I love this app and it’s great being able to see all of your subscription services in one place. The total at the bottom can be shocking. My only wish for this app is that you could either request popular services to be easily added, or be able to make custom additions look better ie. Add the services logo instead of picking one from the list, and even being able to type in a colors hex number to match the service.

Simple, good product
This is just such a simple, clean app. It’s easy to use and it ensures that I know exactly what I need to pay when. I don’t know how I’d keep track of finances without it now.
