why can’t we disable multiple subscriptions at one time?
it’s a real hassle of having to click twice then clicking more options just a disable one subscription. also, why can’t we edit the name of a subscription?
Wanted to love it
I like the ideas of this app but it is someone limiting. You can change the view of each bill from days/weeks to the specific day that the charge occurs. It also does not give you option to select a bill to remove if you choose to pay it in advance.
App ok, customer service absent!
Sent note 5 days ago via the app to ask questions on my subscription but no answer. This isn’t how it works when consumers support you. Goes both ways. :(
Insights of a Many Year Loyal Fan
Team,😎
I have purchased Bobby and all it’s add-ons since release. It’s my goto app for anything SaaS or subscriptions I have.
I purchased at your first release in fact.
So as a 35 year veteran Software Engineer;
1.there are simple UX bugs- test for different User Agents on iOS. On my iPhone 11 ProMax, the “ADD SUBSCRIPTION” screen, approx 50% of text UI “popular” and “All” are cutoff. And capitalisation on both of these words or not at all is important.
2. FEATURE: Add Category- essential feature BUT to extend Bobby, consider an increased number of font icons as now we have AI and a number of other recognisable symbols- I’d suggest using ChatGPT to poll these for you and use a tool to simplify them for icon rendering. EVEN BETTER, as the “Countdown” app allows- allow user to upload an icon of their subscription category for quick recognition.
3. FEATURE: create import/export via csv, txt, json
4. FEATURE: integration with Calendar, ics or even CalDev. My workflow uses both - allow integration with personal and business accounting software.
5. FEATURE: from the feature above- allow CONTEXT and DOMAINS - business, project based, personal. I use Bobby to track client domain name, hosting, or SaaS renewals relating to projects
6. FEATURE: view Bobby as a tip of the KM INGESTION PIPELINE. Data->Information->Knowledge->Wisdom. Bobby is excellent as the Data component of that pipeline.
7. FEATURE: Bobby triggering shortcuts. Eg a date passes triggers an event to progress it through the KM Pipeline or any SHORTCUT that may link to banking apps, spreadsheet tracking ( hence data import export )
8. FEATURE: allow BOBBY to ACCEPT a regular payment instead of Subscription cost.
9. FEATURE: show all of your totals info instead of selecting them.
10. FEATURE: COUNT the number of times a sub has been paid, and the amount, when looking at its description. Lock that counter in and create a bew one of the dates or amounts change- which all subs do.

Really average vibe-coded app
Does the basics, not sure how it has such good reviews. Little bit suspicious. This app could be made in about 2 hours with Claude.
Points to improve:
- Doesn’t default to setting notifications. Realized this after adding 50 things I needed to track. Pain to add them all individually (no bulk option or default notification setting).
- Can’t export the data at all. Terrible.
- Hasn’t been updated in 3 months. Developer has likely disappeared.
- Notifications limited to 1 per subscription. So if you miss that one you’ve manually set, tough luck.
- Doesn’t have the logos for companies as big as Docusign, therefore 60% of my subscriptions are “Custom” (ie no logo).
Wouldn’t recommend. Cool logo, but this is a weekend project at best that has been abandoned. Don’t bother with a yearly or lifetime subscription - you’re not going to get an update to the app anytime soon.
