Bill Tracker Pro 4+

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.

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.

Only reason I’m giving this a 4 out of 5 stars is for the issues I’m currently having with the app.

I have been using this for a month or two and have had no issues, and absolutely love it as I’ve tried multiple tracker apps and this one I thought was the best. For a few days however, the app is continuing to not allow me to add any bills, and I have tried closing out, clearing it off my phone history, etc and it still won’t allow me to add any bills, and everytime I try to mark a bill as paid, it says unable to but then does it (least it’s working for that even though it’s prompting me that it isn’t working)

That is the only reason I give this app a 4/5. Not sure if it’ll get fixed, but if it doesn’t then I can’t really track or use the app anymore after paying for it. But other than that, the app was great.
