Bills Monitor - Bill Reminder ٤+

I actually think this app is really handy for reminders and organization. I set up multiple reminders just to make sure I don’t snooze and forget it. I work full time and I love having a calendar that only shows bills and payments. I recommend it for this who also like to have their expenses organized in calendars. What’s great about it is that you can set it up to show payments on the same date (ie the 5th) for each month. That’s exactly what I needed.

I went through about 5 other apps before finally getting to this one and instantly fell in love. The others only let you add one or two bills but this one I have added 8, all for free! And unlike Mint, you don't have to create a login. I haven't set up any of my bank accounts or any personal info because I only needed an app to keep track of when my bills are due and when I pay them. I recently thought I was up to date on my bills when, in fact, I was behind two months on one. I like that you can set reminders for different times in advance and it keeps you in the know how many days late or days until your next payment. So far this app is wonderful!!

This app has been hard to use and clunky. Setup was difficult and lengthy, and the reminders for upcoming bills are almost useless. The reminders (which is a major reason I need a bill pay app) are one time only, and often don't appear unless I actually open the app. Once a bill is paid, finding the payment info and confirmation number is difficult as well.

Some of my bills are variable amounts each month, but the app is clunky to use here, too. It does allow you to save just for this bill or for future bills, but sometimes I've found it has changed the PREVIOUS bill to that amount, and now says I still owe for a previous month when that bill was paid in full. Awkward setup.

I continue to use this app only until I can find a better one.
