Bill Tracker Pro

I really want to give this a 5star and i still could if they can solve the problem of it freezing whenever you open the app. It takes close to 1min or more for it to settle. It’s very frustrating and discouraging. It never used to do that until early this year. I had another episode where it scrambled all my bills that I was late on payments because it glitched. I was only alerted by my credit card companies that I’m missing a payment.. I was like Son of a **** app did me!! I was sooo upset and mad. I solely rely on this app to pay my bills and when it glitches or misbehaves I’m doomed. I know i shouldn’t rely on a random app for that but I bought what they were selling and it’s the best I’ve found so far. Please fix this mess. I want to open the app and get on with it and not wait 1min or more for it “do its thing and re adjust” before I can check or apply a bill etc. I have updated and even deleted then reinstalled the app but it’s still happening. I don’t know! Just fix it. Thanks.

I was simply looking for an app to stay on top of bills, but as this app locks in a linkage between sources of income, i.e. banks, and bills or general withdrawals. This makes the process of tracking utility bills alone more complicated than it needs to be. You can’t add a utility bill without linking it to a bank account as your preferred source of payment. I took the approach of creating a bogus bank account that will simply reflect an ever growing negative balance. It also focuses primarily on reporting against expense category vs expenditure for a specific utility provider. Bill entry is freeform and not directly linked to uniquely maintained accounts for utilities or other vendors. Bill entry and analysis could be better served if the app allowed you to maintain unique entries for utilities and other vendor relationships. This would offer two benefits. The option to select an established utility in a dropdown to prefill data and link the bill to the utility. Allow us to report against data for supplier / utility accounts and their tending expenditure. In short this app seems focused on maintaining data for fiscal assets and freeform expenses drawn from them and not for tracking and reporting on expenditure for unique utilities.

I have been using and checking out a number of bill management apps over the years. In my research I came upon Bill Tracker Pro and am extremely impressed. While not perfect it has enough features and characteristics to make bill management fun. (It almost makes me want to pay my bills just to be able to record and analyze the data!!). Another attractive feature is that that app can be used for free (with ads and other minor limitations). For ad-free and full functionality there is one time payment of $4.99. This is compared to others that attract a monthly subscription fee and are not as efficient as Bill Tracker Pro. The interface is the best I have seen. It presents the information in a pleasing and clear manner. The reporting function is pretty good although there are areas for improvement...eg. Reporting on income, breakdown of totals for categories and the ability to add subcategories. I am confident that the developers will address these and other suggestions. I have found them to be extremely responsive and understanding. I have communicated with them re bugs and made enhancement suggestions and they have always been receptive and have addressed some of these. I have given the app 4 stars pending a few more enhancements but must add that I am really impressed with where the app is at now and I know it has further heights to go. Great job, developers.
