Unreliable and broken

What a waste of money. Notifications comes up at random times and expenses math is broken, making this app worst than useless - it’s actually counterproductive. Shame on the developer who doesn’t fix this known issues

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! DOES NOT WORK!

Please do NOT download this app, or pay for anything! I guess the developers have just decided to abandon their app, because it doesn’t work at all. Well, you can input your subscription information, and you can for sure spend your money purchasing worthless “upgrades”. But what you CAN’T do is actually receive notifications about your subscriptions, which is * literally * the main function of this app. If I could give this app zero stars, I would. Wish I could get my money back.
On a better note, I did finally find a great app for tracking subscriptions called Subtrack here on the App Store (not a paid endorsement, I just really love the app) plus its 100% fully functional!

Well made but basic…

Not a bad little app if you can’t be arsed to make a spreadsheet but other than reminders it is very basic. Does not link to bank account or allow you to cancel / manage subs from it. Well made, clean and intuitive GUI. You will need to pay £2.50 to manage more than four subs, use face id or passcode and back up to iCloud.

My girlfriend says i am a lazy idiot for paying £2.50 for something you could make on excel but i like it!

Just ok at the moment

I have a paid version. I am able to use it somewhat, so only 3-stars, but the developers seem to have let their support go. As of this date, it’s been 7 months since there has been an update. Wrote to them, but no reply. The Notifications feature, which is really essential for most of us, is non-functioning. There are a few minor bugs which aren’t as crucial but should be addressed. It is a useful and clever app with a great design. It had such great reviews early on in the press. Perhaps something unpleasant is going on behind the scenes. Such a shame now, but I am not giving up just yet.

Glitchy, I want to like it but it doesn’t work well.

I wanted a simple place to keep my monthly subscriptions and budget and at first I thought I like it, but it doesn’t work well. Categories disappear. There was a blank category that appeared. I clicked on it to delete it, but it wouldn’t let me and then wouldn’t let me out of the category, making it useless. I tried deleting and reinstalling. The categories all together disappeared.

It’s not a good app. Not worth 2.99 for all access, simply because it doesn’t work.

I’ll be requesting a refund.

Want to love it but…

Developer seems unresponsive. Subscription choices are limited. If you take the time to use the “Create Custom Subscription” tool it seems your work just disappears into a black hole and no one lets you know if it’s going to be approved or added or if it’s even been seen. Would love if this were a more automatic process for paying customers. As it stands the app is updated very infrequently and this seems to be the only occasion where these new subscriptions are added.

Also, two bugs: it keeps wiping out subscriptions from the categories I’ve created. And I believe the math is often wrong for the totals at the bottom.

This is a beautiful app. I just want to be able to use it more.

Could be better.

Firstly, please give us a desktop version or at least a way to use it on multiple different phone devices!

Secondly- yeah, missing a lot of subscriptions but I’m sure that will get better, though a “auto connect to bank account” to grab some from there would be great to save those of us with many subscriptions some time!

Thirdly/most important: please allow us to put multiple notification reminders! I have a very short attention span and bad ADHD, I need to have at least five different reminders at different time lengths for each subscription to remember 😅

Worth it 100%

The ONLY reason this app isn’t 5 stars for me is because if you decide to pay a bill early rather then on the due date, you’re unable to mark it as such. You just have to wait for the date to come and go, which is annoying but it’s manageable. Otherwise this app is literally everything I could ask for.

Also, to buy all the features of the app isn’t but a few dollars, but it’s 100% worth every penny. I’ve recommended this to a few friends and they absolutely love it as well.

It’s honestly a really great app and I’m thankful for the developers on it

Good app but could do with some additional features

Need to add a feature where you can chose the date for month my month for example my payday is on the 25th so I feature where you can see what expenses you have between the 25th of march and the 25th of April.

Need to get a widgets for iOS 15

Very Useful!

I love the app. I love being able to keep track of subscriptions and see how much I’m paying out every month. I love it so much I paid for the in-app upgrade to receive the rest of the features.

A couple features that I would really love to see implemented is the ability to set a subscription as paid or unpaid for the month, as well as sort of grey out or “disable” any subscriptions that I may want to continue keeping track of but may not necessarily have active.

Those features alone would increase the utility for me by a lot by not only being able to view my subscriptions but organize them in a deeper and more dynamic way.
