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.

Bugs to fix
Hello Support Team,
I am really enjoying the app’s interface, but I’ve noticed two significant issues that make it difficult to manage my budget accurately:
1. Inaccurate Time Countdown: The app rounds down the weeks incorrectly. For example, if a payment is due in 10 days, the app only shows "1 week" instead of "1 week and 3 days." This lack of precision is confusing for deadlines that fall between 7 and 14 days. It would be much better if it showed the exact remaining days alongside the weeks.
2. Incorrect "Weekly Total" Calculation: The display for the total amount to be charged this week often shows $0 or an incorrect figure, even when I have multiple subscriptions due within the next 7 days. Ideally, this section should automatically sum every payment occurring in the upcoming week so I know exactly how much money will be debited from my account.
I hope you can look into these issues for the next update, as accurate weekly planning is essential for my financial tracking.
Thank you for your help!

Tried other apps before
Great app! Even got my significant other hooked. I’ve tried other apps before but none stick. Bobby on the other hand is super simplistic to use and it’s clear to see when things are due or coming up. Very much worth the once off payment. I use this app very regularly. Thank you developers! :)
Been a user for more than 3yrs, but now it NEEEDS updates and fixes
Looks like there are lots of UI inconsistencies. Ive been a user of this app since last 3 years.
I think its time to step it up. Starting from
1. text not visible in the in-app support feedback form (white text on white background)
2. “Get support” text mentioned twice in the sheet modal for get support
3. The settings icon and back icon are overlapping with text header on the home page. Due to ios26 adding border around it
4. Cannot change icon of subscription once its created. For example - “Disney+ Hotstar” was acquired and now called “Jio Hotstar” in India.
5. Support for more subscription icons and making it easier to add, rather than going to external sites and submitting it
6. In general polishing the UI to be more clean and not just plain solid colors. And also option for analytics

Simple: in a good way
Bobby is pretty much exactly what I want from a subscription tracker. The UI is simple, it supports notifications, and has many built in services in its list so you can quickly glance at a subscriptions logo. I like how the subscriptions list is sorted from date due so you’ll always see the next bills at the top (this can be changed) and how you can see the amount you pay per week, month or year.
Get bobby, you won’t regret it

Nickel mais manque certaines choses
Vraiment superbe app, très efficace, surtout pour le prix.
Mais on ressent tout de même le manque de widgets qui sont inexistants, cela pourrait être sympa de voir nos dépenses courantes sur sont écran d’accueil. De même qu’il serait sympa aussi de partager en deux les abonnements, entre le privé et la vie pro. Mais sinon c’est un quasi sans faute.

Really good app
I’ve had this running for about 3 years and it’s survived about 10 app culls. It’s just good.
Notifications don’t work
Notifications no longer work. Tried re-installing the app with no luck. Avoid
App doesn’t work
Cannot purchase - tried on both ipad and iphone, contacted support but never received a reply - so have to assume apathetic developers with an app that doesn’t work.

love the app but 1 issue
i love the app, great ui, great concept, everything about it is great but no matter what i seem to do, im not receiving notifications from the app. no reminders nothing, otherwise id give it a 5 star rating. please fix if possible and ill take back my words
Привет ребята )
Всё работает отлично. Можно ли ещё добавить функцию, которая будет отображать количество оставшихся дней, а не недель? И можно ли настроить приложения для работы с новой версией iOS?
Purchase Across Device
I purchased the app on another device using the same Apple ID, but the paid version is not appearing on my new device.
