Alles läuft tadellos und das Design ist durchdacht

### 4/5 — Simple Efficient

*2026-07-22*

Pls add calendar tooo

### 4/5 — PETICIÓN

*2026-07-03, version 1.2.4*

Es excelente pero sería aún mucho mejor si agregan un calendario en donde se observen los días de pago de forma general, con esa pestaña sería la app perfecta

### 5/5 — La mejor app

*2026-06-01, version 1.2.3*

Es la mejor aplicación tanto como en diseño, optimización y organización. Es mi favorita para calcular mis gatos y gestionar mis suscripciones e incluso pagos de servicios (luz, agua, internet, etc.).

### 4/5 — Casi perfecta

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.3*

Me hace falta un histórico de precios, para ver los cambios de precio a lo largo de la historia de una sub. Gracias!!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-05-25*

It’s really best because very minimalistic and very useful. No confusion, no hustle, very easy to use very aesthetic and minimalistic.

### 5/5 — Ottima app

*2026-05-21, version 1.2.1*

Gli aggiornamenti sono arrivati insieme ad una risposta dello sviluppatore. App top per gestire gli abbonamenti. Veramente ben fatta 🔝

### 5/5 — Einmalig

*2026-05-21*

Wunderbare App für allerlei Abonnements. Großartige Arbeit und Qualität! 💯

### 5/5 — LA mejor app para controlar gastos

*2026-05-21, version 1.2.1*

He probado varias apps de gestión de suscripciones y gastos (Orbiter, Bobby) pero esta es la mejor con diferencia, muy personalizable, muy bonita.

### 5/5 — Contain the subscription madness!

*2026-05-21*

This app turned up at a time when I felt drowned by subscriptions and really needed to cut recurring costs. Subo has helped me get on top of the mess, zero in on subs that I can do without, and assess what I can afford over the long term. 

It’s also a delight to work with. Lovely design, easy to use. I’m so glad I found it.

### 5/5 — Calm and Cozy Interface

*2026-05-21*

Subo is a pleasure to use and look at. Very smooth animations and beautiful gradients across the board. The developer is also very friendly and active in communication and development. I think I’ve found my favorite app to track subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Amazing design and execution

*2026-05-21, version 1.2.1*

Simple yet efficient way to manage subscriptions!

### 5/5 — Lo que buscaba

*2026-05-20, version 1.2.1*

Me ha encantado, es fantástica y simple! De hecho estuve haciendo una app con ClaudeCode para hacer esto mismo pero tú ya lo has hecho por mí.

### 4/5 — Atualização

*2026-05-20*

Após a atualização melhorou bastante o app, ansioso pelas próximas!

**Developer response:** Obrigado pela avaliação. Você tinha razão: Subo precisava de uma atualização maior.

Desde então lancei o Subo 1.2, com novo design, widgets, múltiplos lembretes, ações rápidas, suporte melhor para assinaturas com data de término e várias melhorias de estabilidade.

Espero que a nova versão deixe o app mais útil para você. Se a experiência melhorou, eu agradeceria muito se você considerasse atualizar a avaliação.

### 5/5 — Übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen

*2026-05-19*

NACHTRAG NACH UPDATE:

Performance nun ohne Einschränkungen. Vielen Dank! 

__________________________

Stand kurz nach Release der App:
Das Interface gefällt mir gut. Alles ist einfach zu verstehen und hat eine aufgeräumte Optik. Die Performance ist aber echt nicht so doll. Klicks werden teilweise erst 3-4 Sekunden später akzeptiert. Das erste Abo Netflix habe ich anfangs daher versehentlich 8 mal hinzugefügt, da ich nicht wusste, ob er es genommen hat oder nicht. Da fehlt Feedback und Performance. 

iPhone 17 
iOS 26.2

**Developer response:** Danke für das ehrliche Feedback. Das Problem mit verzögerten Klicks und fehlendem Feedback beim Hinzufügen war natürlich nicht gut genug.

Mit Subo 1.2 habe ich eine große technische Überarbeitung veröffentlicht, mit Fokus auf Performance, Stabilität, besserem Feedback im Interface und einer deutlich zuverlässigeren Grundlage.

Wenn du die aktuelle Version ausprobierst und sich das Problem für dich verbessert hat, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn du deine Bewertung noch einmal anpasst. Falls weiterhin etwas hakt, schreib mir gerne an niclas@getsubo.app.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!

*2026-05-17*

I discovered this app on TikTok, and my god is it a GEM!! Super easy to keep track of my subscriptions and bills. I do recommend buying the Subo Forever subscription, especially since you can get widgets, which I am a huge fun of. 10/10 recommend.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review. It honestly means a lot to hear that Subo feels like a gem and actually helps you keep track of subscriptions and bills.

I’m especially glad you like the widgets. They were one of the features I really wanted to get right. Thanks for supporting Subo.

### 5/5 — Molto Utile, Semplice e Bella!

*2026-05-14, version 1.2*

Fa esattamente quello che promette e la UX è piacevole ed intuitiva. Inoltre è in continua evoluzione e Niclas è disponibile per ogni chiarimento. Con Subo ogni abbonamento non sarà più dimenticato.

### 5/5 — Lovely app

*2026-05-13, version 1.2*

Great app, it has nice design and is useful- worth every penny

### 1/5 — Su 17 pro non va bene

*2026-03-04, version 1.1.128*

L app sarebbe bella ma spendere 18 euro e poi scoprire che il widget non funziona perché l ultimo aggiornamento risale a 4 mesi fa è ridicolo, non pagate per app obsolete o almeno aggiornate le app che fate pagare care amare

### 1/5 — Very inconvenient

*2026-02-04*

My account had been restricted every time when I changed to my another App Store account which is very inconvenient and waste me a lot of time.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, and really sorry for the inconvenience this caused. How frustrating...

What you’re seeing is related to how Apple ties purchases and entitlements to a specific App Store account. When switching accounts, access can temporarily appear restricted. This is not the experience I want, and I’m actively working on improving how Subo handles this scenario.

If you’re open to it, please reach out directly to me (niclas@getsubo.app) so I can look into your specific case and help directly. We'll find a solution!

I appreciate you taking the time to report this, and hope to hear from you in my inbox.

### 1/5 — Buggy App

*2026-02-02*

Buggy app with Buggy UI and yet the Price is so high without even widget feature… Far more better apps can be found in much lower price point.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you ran into bugs or UI issues. I’m currently working on a major internal refactor focused on stability and performance, which will roll out in upcoming update.

If you encountered specific problems, please reach out to me directly (niclas@getsubo.app), so I can look into them directly.

I appreciate you taking the time to share this.

### 1/5 — По сути приложение не работает

*2025-11-09*

Если выбирать сервис представленный на главной странице, то можно его добавить. К примеру Spotify. Если выбирать из поиска, то сервис просто не выбирается. Зато работает кнопка добавить свой сервис, но это не так важно, как выбрать из существующих

### 2/5 — Great design but greedy pricing

*2025-06-07*

It’s a great app. Great and appealing design. However, I don’t think it justify the price it is currently requesting. 

At the end of the day, it’s an app to track your subscriptions. And I believe most of the people using this to find out how much they are spending and potentially cutting some off. In this scenario, why people pay money to use something that’s only more beautiful to Excel and Reminders, to receive the same goal? I’m not sure. 

On the other hand, if some target audience is extremely rich, and they just want to pay as much as they want. Sure. But what can this app actually bring in the future? The current build is pretty stable and meets all its intended needs. What else does a subscription app need? 

Early adopters pricing promises future updates. But what updates? No road maps, no feature planners. 

I think the developer can do better. Either review your pricing model, or create something that gives some ideas to your users on what you actually trying to achieve in the future?

**Developer response:** Hey there! 👋

Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words. I’m genuinely glad you’re enjoying the app and its design!

I totally understand your concerns and frustrations regarding pricing and appreciate you sharing your perspective. Monetization was something I thought deeply about when creating Subo. My goal was always to make sure the app remains completely free and useful for casual users (tracking up to 6 subscriptions covers most people’s needs based on my research), while providing more advanced features (e.g. paid API’s for real time currency conversions) through a simple, one-time payment. No ongoing subscriptions. 

Transparency and community have always been at the core of Subo, and I’ve been involving users right from the start. If you’d like to stay in the loop with early previews and see what’s coming next, you can join us at join.getsubo.app. I’ll also make sure to include a clear roadmap in the next update so everyone knows exactly what’s ahead.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback. It truly helps shape Subo’s future! Feel free to provide more feedback directly to me via niclas@getsubo.app 🫡

### 3/5 — Ausbaufähig

*2026-08-27*

Testzeitraum lässt sich nicht in Monaten angeben, es MUSS ein Startdatum angegeben werden (Ich weiß aber nur wann es endet), beim eingeben des Betrags bleibt der Platzhalter 0,00 im Feld, also gibt man standardmäßig 0,001,99 ein. … Da geht noch was :)

### 3/5 — Payant

*2026-08-06*

Bien mais payant au bout de 6 abonnement rentrer

### 3/5 — Can’t see all subs

*2026-05-13*

I like the old design where I can see all subscriptions without having to click another button.

### 3/5 — Buena App. Falta Mantenimiento

*2026-05-04, version 1.1.128*

Buena app en casi todo, buen diseño y funcionalidad. Pero lleva 6 meses sin actualizarse, no ha adoptado aún Liquid Glass casi un año después del lanzamiento de iOS 26. Además, en mis dos iPad funciona muy lamentable, no carga los iconos y se cuelga cada dos por tres. Creo que a esta app le falta un mantenimiento, he pagado la suscripción vitalicia (que es bastante cara) y espero un resultado por ello

### 3/5 — Un pelín cara

*2025-11-20, version 1.1.128*

Me encanta la aplicación y el diseño que tiene está perfectamente pulido pero quizá la veo un poco cara comparada con otras sobre todo la compra definitiva.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-09-03, version 1.3*

Love to track my subscriptions via Subo

### 5/5 — One of the best apps on ios

*2026-08-18*

By far one of the most clean and amazing app I have came across on ios. Very helpful app! Cheers to the creator 😍

### 5/5 — *****

*2026-08-02, version 1.2.5*

Не хватает русского языка. Так же приложение очень дорого стоит. Подписка на приложение для учета подписок. Это какой то сюрреализм. 
Но в целом приложение выглядит симпатично и если у вас подписка на 6 сервисов и все в одной валюте то ок. 
У меня подписки на три разные валюты, поэтому для меня не подходит. Но пять звезд я поставил.

### 5/5 — Mein Review

*2026-07-30*

Fantastische App um alle seine Abos zu sehen, zu organisieren und keine zu vergessen!

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2026-07-20, version 1.2.5*

Wonderful app

### 5/5 — Great app for subscription tracking!

*2026-07-09, version 1.2.4*

In the world when each app want to charge money, this app is extra useful

### 5/5 — Funciona bem

*2026-07-01*

Aplicativo funciona bem, é bonito e simples.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-06-28*

Good, clean and minimalist app with great design but little slow in fixing bugs and issues. Hope to see more good features to come. Totally Worth it buying lifetime subscription.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you ran into bugs or UI issues. I’m currently working on a major internal refactor focused on stability and performance, which will roll out in upcoming update.

If you encountered specific problems, please reach out to me directly (niclas@getsubo.app), so I can look into them directly.

### 5/5 — 貨幣

*2026-06-20*

希望可以更新一下貨幣功能。選擇默認貨幣就是為了知道該貨幣，但是下面卻還是按照原來輸入的貨幣顯示，不夠直觀，不知道這個軟件多少錢。還有就是希望新增報表功能。

### 5/5 — Clean UI, Smart Search, Just Works

*2026-06-04*

Tried many subscription managers, most have outdated UI or make you manually add logos for lesser-known services. Subo nails both. The interface feels genuinely native and modern, and the brand search automatically pulls in logos and names, even for less common subscriptions.

I manage 22 subscriptions across personal and business, and everything just works the way it should.

Would love to see a few additions: calendar view, spending analytics, duplicate option, renewal alarm option, and an archive for expired/cancelled subscriptions. Once those are in, this will easily be the best subscription manager on the App Store.

Great work Niclas, looking forward to what's next.
