Bills Manager

Update: I just checked the history on my app and discovered I’ve used this app since October 2017!! I have used this app for years. Back “in the day” I used a spreadsheet on Excel that I created that I’d update every time I paid a bill. It was great and worked well, except then the higher tech things entered the picture along with “There’s an app for that”. Since I only had access to my spreadsheet while I was at work (I didn’t have a computer at home) and I couldn’t go into excel from my cell phone, I searched for a bills app. This was a very long time ago. Everything was at a cost and nothing free, but I did find one after searching the App Store awhile. I was happy with that one for a few years… until it stopped working and I could no longer open it! Apparently the developer of the app needed to update it and since they wouldn’t, nobody was able to gain access. Luckily I had written down all of my bills on a piece of paper! I kept checking every week to see if I could open the app, but after a few months of no access I figured it’d be a good idea to find a new bill app. That is where this app enters the picture. 😊 I’ve now had this app at least 4 years. It even sends me a notification and alerts me a few days prior to a bill being due. And I can do a screen shot of a bill I’ve just paid and attach it into the app bill item. So, please app developer make sure you always update when you’re supposed to so I don’t lose all of my bills again! 5 🌟

Super simple out of the box & does everything desired perfectly 👍🏻 I picked another app “Prism” at random as the first bill tracker I tried and while it did technically accomplish the same as this app it is SO CUMBERSOME TO USE AHHHHHHH this is 1000% better in every way. Every interaction is quick & crisp, there is no extraneous information or intermediary pop-up screens/prompts/transitions to slow you down. Everything works intuitively & predictably. I got everything migrated over in about 1/8th the time it took me to set up in the other app, and the available features are better too. 👌🏻 The customization options are good — adequate without being exhaustive. Maybe a few more icons to choose from would be nice, some of the provided ones are pretty weird! (NOTE: the far right column of icons is partially cut off on the 5.4” iPhone screen 🐛🐜🪲🐞) All the provided sections & features of the app are useful & everything is nicely laid out and easy to understand. It achieves what it is meant to with no overreach at all. It’s so nice!!! Thanks a lot! 😊 One small gripe: it can be easy to grab the wrong column in the date picker when setting the due date. And a suggestion: a different-color dot to indicate current day in calendar view, and also showing the bills list underneath the calendar when a date is selected rather than in a new view (this part of the interface is not so crisp as it stands). Thank you goodbye!

I use to keep my bills on an Excel spreadsheet on a flash drive. Long story short, broken the flash drive moving computer and of course, I was not backing up my flash drive. First thought was I don’t believe this, but, with God’s help, I did not panic. Sat on it a couple days then felt led to look for an app to help me manage my bills. The Holy Spirit led me to $Bills Manager (first one I tried) and so far I am pleased with it it thus far. Now I have everything on my iPad and do not have to have both my computer and iPad to pay my bills. Also, I do not travel with my computer and now I can check on my bills anywhere. PS....my spreadsheet lined up with my checking account and therefore I knew a month in advance how much money needed to be in there to pay my bills at the beginning of each month. It was good, but I could only do it at home. Now I can go to $Bills manager, see what’s do over the next week and make sure the money is in the bank. Although I loved my spreadsheet, I feel I've moved forward with technology.
