Chronicle - Bill Organizer

I have been using this app for several years now. Always been happy. The developer himself replies to our messages and keeps improving the app, which always been awesome.

Chronicle does a pretty good job of tracking recurring transactions but of course it‘ll never balance your books if you don’t enter all the one-off payments and income as well. One thing that I find very limiting is its failure to handle multiple currencies. Another thing is the hassle of visiting multiple bank, credit card, paypal accounts to collect all the data. A bank feed integration would really help. Also can I actually search and find a transaction?

This app is fantastic but as of about a month ago, the widget no longer works as intended? The radial buttons on the right are no longer interactive. I used to tick them as they were paid then when I opened the app, it would log them all for me. These buttons no longer work no matter what I do. Great app otherwise though!

A slightly painful feature is marking the bills paid. First swipe to log payment and then a very inconvenient placement at the very top right to "press to save" the process. It should be a one tap or one swipe process. Do the 2 step process if you have to edit a bill maybe, but not to pay. I'm sure other users find this process slightly annoying aslo.

I must have looked at a dozen options for simplifying personal bookkeeping for our family. All too complex, or aimed at envelope budgeting or investing, or could not be shared, weren't cloud based, didn't work on mobile devices, etc. Chronicle solves all of these problems, forecasts monthly spend and provides historical reporting. It keeps my wife and I in sync without feeling like double entry accounting. It's simple, fast, accessible and lightweight. And Mike's customer service is simply amazing. Recommended. The only thing I think needs looking at is simplifying the offering - retire the legacy version, get rid of the "pro" desgination which is ambiguous between subscription and legacy app, and offer only one cloud sync.

This is a fantastic application for seeing upcoming bills and paying them on time such as credit cards or motor vehicle registration, particularly where the reminders might be missed in emails. I find it indispensable and I haven't seen any else like it

I purchased this app outright and one day I decided to use the app and it turns out that I can’t restore my purchases. I contacted the developer and I get a unprofessional response from the developer saying : “ Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having. Unfortunately you'll have to bring this up with Apple, we have no access to any information about the App Store, or anything like that. Mike LittleFin LLC”, So this is the lame excuse I get in return from such greed brand. I have bought multiple apps over the period of last many years and all those apps/brands honoured their part of the bargain. But this app/dev simply hand balled it to Apple when it’s the Dev who should be fixing the issue as to why my purchases aren’t restored. I give up after 7 years of head banging with him!!

Great App, have used it for managing all my annual regular living expenses for around 5 years. It especially makes planning for payments due to be paid before venturing on holidays, hospital stays etc.

Been using this for several years to record bills due and their payments. It’s better than a spreadsheet you can categorise your bills and sort them by categories, tags, dates etc. With most bill notification via email it is easy to log the amount and date due in advance. Setting up auto payments for direct debits/ payments is also easy. There are several informative reports that can be adjusted on the fly. I don’t use the budgeting aspect but can see how useful it could be. Being able to check if a bill has been paid or is due via iPhone or iPad when away from the laptop is a lifesaver for preventing the late penalties. Support is excellent, responsive and gives detailed information.

Chronicle is a fantastic app that keeps getting better. I've tried keeping track of my bills with personal finance software but it's all too complicated so I use chronicle along side other personal finace apps. If you want an easy to use bill organsier and remider this one is it. The update to version 10 has made a subscription well worth it.
