5 Android and iOS apps for managing subscriptions – never miss a due date or pay more than expected
If you have a few recurring subscriptions to various websites, services, and products, you may find it hard to keep track of them at times. And that's not something to be easily left aside, for piling up a few subscriptions can result in out-of-control spending or incidents where you forget to pay on time.
This is where apps like the five we have rounded up below enter and help you with the situation. These subscription managers show everything you are paying for, how you are paying it, when you are doing that and, possibly, how you can optimize your spending. Give them a try and see if they prove themselves helpful.
Bobby is an easy-to-use app that lets you choose between hundreds of existing subscription templates or create custom ones. Then you'll get a clear overview of your subscriptions and upcoming bills, learning the amount of money you spend on them. The app dutifully notifies you when bills are due, so you won't get nasty surprises. With Bobby's assistance, you will be able to plan ahead and won't be left with insufficient funds on payment due dates.

and will give you reminders for when payment is due.
