### 4/5 — Amazing app

*2025-12-04*

App is good. Design can be better, I was using Subo before and loved it. Besides can add dynamic finding of other apps from internet too.

**Developer response:** Got it, thank you for this feedback adding other apps from internet is in our TODO already…will be rolling out in next updates

### 4/5 — Great subscription manager with a major flaw (Updated)

*2025-10-01*

Update:
The developer has committed to stop advertising in notifications. I will re-enable notifications for now. If they follow through, this is definitely one of the better subscription trackers. Recommended. 

Original:
I really like the features in this app. Unfortunately, it periodically sends a notification urging me to update to Reko Pro. First of all, I already HAVE the pro version, but even if I didn’t, I don’t want to see advertisements in my notifications. As a result, I have to keep notifications for this app turned off, greatly reducing its value. If you MUST advertise via your notifications, provide settings to control what notifications are sent.

**Developer response:** Thank you for drawing attention idea was never to let user disturb via notifications but our early users are facing this issue, despite this we took this lesson we will not send any such notification again thank you again for using

*2025-09-24*

打开要配合科学上网，否则就一直卡在开启界面

您好，这个问题并不是应用本身导致的，而是因为中国地区屏蔽了 Google 服务，造成应用在开启界面卡住。我们已经在积极寻找解决方案，并会尽快修复这一问题 🔧。

### 5/5 — Nice and Simple UI

*2025-09-06*

Dashboard is so minimal that makes easy to track all purchases

**Developer response:** Thank you keep rocking 🤘

### 5/5 — Good Application

*2025-09-03, version 2.0.5*

Please also add an option for "no notification" for selected subscriptions, such as 1 day before, 3 days before, and never.

### 4/5 — 无法进入页面

*2025-09-03*

软件无法使用 系统版本18.5

软件现在正常了，不过之前我是看限免下载的。正常以后要付费。🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️但是UI挺好看的，等后续看是否有活动吧。

**Developer response:** 请更新至最新版本 (iOS 2.0.4)，问题已修复 🙏。如果一切正常，还请您重新考虑评分，并将 1 星更新为 5 星 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️。感谢您的支持！

### 5/5 — App Freezing Fixed

*2025-09-03*

Update——-
Developer fixed the freezing problem and I was able to load all my subscriptions. App is working like it’s suppose to, thanks to the developer for the quick response. 

When I added a subscription the app froze. I had to delete it and reinstall it and when I added a subscription it froze again. The app is useless if at the moment.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the freezing issue you faced 🙏. This problem has been fixed in our latest update (iOS 2.0.4). Please update and try again the app should now work smoothly. If everything is resolved, we’d truly appreciate it if you could reconsider your 1-star rating and update it to 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you for giving us another chance!

*2025-09-02*

为什么现在经常打不开😢

**Developer response:** 非常感谢您的好评！🌟

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2025-09-01, version 2.0.2*

Easy to set up subs and a great way to keep a handle on what you are spending.

Should help save a lot of money by reminder to check before renewal and so avoid trap of passive renewal.

### 5/5 — Best Subscription Manger!

*2025-09-01*

Highly recommended! 2.0.2 version worked on my phone! Rocket speed bug fix time! Best developer I ve ever met!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support 🙏🚀. We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the app! Your encouragement motivates us to keep improving. If you haven’t already, please consider updating to the latest version (iOS 2.0.4) for the best experience.

### 3/5 — Makes you do things you don’t want to do

*2025-08-31*

Makes you add subscription before you can do anything else. I want to get the free lifetime now NOT add subscriptions

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Really There is No Value

*2026-02-10*

For Only Tracking Subscription Why People use to pay 999Rs Instead they can record that in any other Expenses Tracker Right

**Developer response:** You’re absolutely right — technically, subscriptions can be tracked inside a normal expense tracker. Reko is built specifically for people who want more than just recording an expense.

It focuses only on subscriptions — with renewal reminders, upcoming payment alerts, spending insights, and a clear view of how much you’re committing monthly and yearly. Many users realize they’re paying for services they forgot about, and that alone saves them more than the app costs.

Of course, it’s not for everyone — but for people who actively manage multiple subscriptions, it adds convenience and clarity in one focused place.

Appreciate you sharing your perspective 🙌

### 1/5 — Pro plan removed

*2025-11-21*

Claimed pro but now its removed from account.

**Developer response:** Hello, Sorry for the problem you are facing but we never take back pro once it given / purchased by user Intact even if we wants to do apple won’t allow, purchases are truly managed by Apple system itself 

If you’re facing issue as described please try to restore purchase, still if you face a same issue feel free to write us on support email and please do consider updating review.

### 1/5 — Need to add More Options for Cloud Back Up

*2025-08-31*

Limited Cloud Back Up Options-Only Google & Apple - Need To add other options like Dropbox, etc

### 1/5 — poor stability

*2025-08-31*

### 2/5 — Can be improved

*2026-04-04*

Decent app to track subscriptions but it needs an option to have notifications turned off for subscriptions that renew every single month and are long term ones. As the number of subscriptions increase some notifications become unnecessary and annoying. Tried emailing this feature request multiple times but unfortunately, not even a response.

### 2/5 — bug

*2025-08-19*

按编辑已有的项目会卡屏。iphone16 pro。 会员用户。

**Developer response:** 非常抱歉给您带来了卡屏的问题 🙏。我们已经在最新版本 (iOS 2.0.4) 中修复了该问题，现在编辑项目应该可以顺利使用。请您更新后再试试看。

如果问题已解决，还请您帮忙重新考虑一下您的评分，并更新为 5 星 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️，这对我们非常重要。感谢您的支持！

### 2/5 — 没有季度跟半年的么？

*2025-08-18*

没有季度跟半年的么？

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈 🙏。我们最新版本 (iOS 2.0.4) 已经支持季度和半年订阅，您可以在订阅页面选择合适的周期。请更新后再试试看。

如果功能已满足您的需求，恳请您重新考虑评分并更新为 5 星 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️，这对我们非常重要。感谢您的支持！

### 3/5 — Adapty Paywall Error (2002)

*2026-07-28*

I got an error screen that says: "Adapty Error (2002): Adapty SDK is not initialized. You need to activate the SDK before using its methods." Please fix this bug so I can access the app/subscription page properly. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Beautiful, fun, and the most useful!

*2026-04-10*

Hands down the best one I’ve used so far to date. Immediately got premium and have no regrets. Love the whimsical UI and the bubbles for the dashboard. I did email the dev for suggestions and it may of gotten swallowed.  All it really needs is more categories besides custom.  Other than that it works and looks beautiful.

### 5/5 — Great app to keep things on track

*2026-02-23*

for auto renewed subscriptions and dont need to be notified everytime, can we make it no notifying at all？

### 5/5 — Best subscription manager

*2025-12-18*

With the new setting to hide the bouncing bubble dashboard gimmick, this is now the best-in-class tracker. The developer is extremely responsive to feedback and adds features and fixes regularly. Thanks for your hard work!

**Developer response:** Thank you for drawing attention idea was never to let user disturb via notifications but our early users are facing this issue, despite this we took this lesson we will not send any such notification again thank you again for using

### 5/5 — Great Insights!

*2025-12-01*

A very well put together app, with a beautiful UI. The insights this app provides are priceless!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much, stay tuned we are about to add more insights

### 5/5 — Best Subscription Manger!

*2025-11-28*

I seldom write good reviews on App Store. But this one deserves good feedback. It did its job. Clean, well functioning, elegant. The team is also helpful. Very proactively engaged with the user. In a nutshell , I love this one.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support 🙏🚀. We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the app! Your encouragement motivates us to keep improving. If you haven’t already, please consider updating to the latest version (iOS 2.0.4) for the best experience.

### 5/5 — Great subscription manager with a major flaw (Updated)

*2025-11-18*

Update 2:
With the addition of a Home widget, this app keeps getting better, and I’ve updated my rating to 5 stars! This is now the subscription manager to beat. If I could make one big request, however: please remove (or give us a setting to hide) the floating bubble view of the subscriptions. This is a pretty useless gimmick, and I’d much prefer a clean list of my subscriptions occupying the full screen.  Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Update:
The developer has committed to stop advertising in notifications. I will re-enable notifications for now. If they follow through, this is definitely one of the better subscription trackers. Recommended.
