Chronicle - Bill Organizer for Negative User Reviews
✓ Very basic, is it worth it?Firstly the app is incredibly basic, very few functions and lacking any sort of basic reporting. Can't imagine what value this is adding to someone using it..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Crashes when adding a new billNormally love this app but I've been trying to add a new bill and it keeps crashing!.Version: 6.2.6
✓ Data collection!!!This app wants to collect your email address. The reason given is “to keep you updated on new updates and tips” all can be done via App Store so there’s no reason to share email yet it doesn’t allow you to skip the email requirement. Also the email is managed and handled away from the app making. Terrible approach to security! Do not download!!!!.Version: 8.0
✓ Nope to subscription!User response to Dev: you say unobtrusive? The whole bottom bar on the app has four icons that are “PRO” use only. Bought the app and now it’s a yearly subscription. I’m sure the dev will say, “but everything you paid for your receiving”. Yes, that’s true, but every time I click on something in the app I’m reminded of the “PRO” subscription! No thank you, I found another app that’s excellent and moving on..Version: 13.0.2
✓ Used to be great when it worked.I paid for the app and it worked great. Then there was an issue so I signed off and uninstalled it. When I downloaded it again I realized I didn’t have my password saved. Long story short- if you lose your password you lose the app. Apparently, the reset password part of the app doesn’t work for me and there is nothing that can be done. Oh well, I will get something else..Version: 14.2.4
✓ Full of bugsHaving used this app for almost a year, I finally ditched it for good. The reason? - bugs. Just a few examples: 1. it calculates total due amount for the month incorrectly, using an average of previous bills for a credit card even if a correct amount of zero was entered by a user for the current period. 2. The notifications on iPhone are messed up. It might randomly report 5 alerts on the app badge, but there are none if you open the app. Avoid.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Broken for recurring items on 29/30/31stIf you have a recurring payment scheduled on the 29th or 30th or 31st of each month in February the app moves it to the 28th - which is fine, but come March the recurring items remain on the 28th instead of returning to their original dates Missed some payments because of it!!.Version: 7.2
✓ I upgraded from Chronicle Pro and now i don't have any income listedThis was a feature i HAD and now i don't have... and you're asking for money to get it back. I don't need income forecast, reports or any of that other stuff... i just like to know when my wife's paycheque is going to be deposited. I'm just going to go back to my pro version that has the feature i already paid for..Version: 10.0.2
✓ Calendar showing incorrect dates on iOSJust so you know Chronicle is not displaying a 2020 year calendar..Version: 12.6.1
✓ Can’t see future billsFor example I have a bill that repeats weekly, and it only shows once per month, so the total amount due for the month is incorrect. If that was fixed, would be 5 stars..Version: 14.4.0
✓ PoorContacted customer support about functions not working - had no response. Not acceptable for a paid app..Version: 7.2
✓ UnfortunateSimilar to other review. The Dropbox sync allowing for sharing of data was a big deal. The removal of this make the app useless (for me). The explanation provided was due to effort to maintain Dropbox sync in light of API changes. I’m sure that’s true but I expect there was also an opportunity to remove the capability and reintroduce it as a paid subscription feature in accordance with current trends (speculation only). Whatever the case I can’t continue on with the app as it is today..Version: 7.2
✓ Crashing againFor some reason my review didn’t take? It’s freezing up on me again and I submitted some thing on Apple support 5 days ago on your app on the Apple page and Apple gave me some message that sounded like it was not their issue and so I wrote a review here as well and I don’t see anywhere to contact you besides leaving a crappy review, but I’ve had this for a couple years and I am ready to cancel my renewal of the pro version because there doesn’t seem to be any support available fix to this..Version: 14.2.2
✓ RubbishHad the app since 2014 and even it had its little flaws it worked well and I was relying on it to stay on top of my bills. UNTIL their version 8 update which was paid update. The original version stopped working. The Mac app wouldn’t start at all and keeps “trying to run in some black hole”. If I don’t force restart the app the the Mac goes to overheat as the app taking all the resources. When I first contacted support I got responded almost a 2 week after my initial contact to be told to send log of the console and saying to read some article why the version 8 update is paid. So I pad the $14 for the 8v update and guess what? The app still does not work. The iPhone app does not work either. Goes to full white screen then it crashes. I sent the console log to the support over a week ago and again I haven’t heard a word. Waste of money and time..Version: 7.2
✓ Crashes all the timeDissatisfied with the product, syncing from my mac to phone is not happening and when I add bills it just closes. Sort it out I paid for this product ;(.Version: 6.2.6
✓ Widgets on macDesktop widget does NOT open app.Version: 14.4.0
✓ Income please!!Love the Mac version. Please add income option on the iOS version!!!!!.Version: 8.0.3
✓ Annoying 2 step pay processA 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..Version: 14.4.0
✓ DisappointedThought it was the best bill reminder app but lately it's been very buggy. I put in a new auto payment bill 3 different times today and still can't find it. It wasn't saving it or who knows what happened to it. Fed up, found a better app..Version: 6.2.1
✓ The Judge has made up his mind WASTE OF TIME AND MONEYI bought this app a few months ago, and the developer is such a very insipid person also seemingly illiterate as he fails to read his customers request before replying in the most nonsensical manner possible . I am requesting a pro rata request but if I don’t get it I will expand this review with my evidence of someone who had a quarter decent idea , manage to develop it but look at how many people have bought or reviewed it ..Version: 13.0.3
✓ Love desktop version; hate mobileHave been using Chronicle for years on Mac but as banking becomes more mobile I expect my bill-tracking system to be mobile, too. Recently downloaded the iOS version to find it a very limited version of the desktop app, which no longer allows me to save bill statements & paid receipts; instead, I have to type in confirmation #s. If I just wanted a bill “tracker,” I would use excel; Chronicle says it’s a bill “manager,” and it is—on the desktop. That plus no more Dropbox sync has me looking for another app. Unfortunately Chronicle is currently the best out there IMO, but sooner or later it will not be, & I will ditch it..Version: 7.2
✓ Get old badly. :(Really good app but the Apple WATCH need a little bit of love it just don't open at all. :( Also, French and more category would be a nice addition!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Has issues!First off the interface looks ok but the execution has a lot to be desired. Some of the logic behind how the app navigates is a bit unusual. On the summary page it shows upcoming bills and paychecks but when auto pay is selected for a bill, it still shows up as overdue. If I select a day in the calendar, logically, it should show everything due just for that day, but doesn’t. Depending where you are on the hierarchy/order of bills, it can be misleading as it still will show bills from other days. It should show me what’s due just for that day, not mix in other bills for other days. I think some of the logic in the app needs to be reworked..Version: 14.4.0
✓ CrashesConstantly crashes. Seems to have good functionality, but many bugs..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Not bad, but still needs workOverall this is not a bad application and it is nice to be able to also work with desktop (Mac) version and have both sync together. However, there are still serious shortcomings, for example: 1. Bills set for automatic payment do not automatically log themselves as paid, but instead show as being overdue. 2. NOTE field is Log Payment window is tiny and does not easily show all information entered there. 3. Enter Passcode screen does not appear quick enough, so that one can see the list of bills before it is covered by Passcode entry screen. 4. Even this latest version still does not support Touch ID..Version: 4.6.0
✓ Needs improvementsNot a bad app but only sync with dropbox. Also would be good with windows interface - not everyone uses mac and iphone. Further enhancements could include: adding your own categories (cant do this in iphone) adding your own interval (not all intervals are monthly but work on days) email export function to include CSV file.Version: 2.0.2
✓ GREAT UPDATE!EDIT: Nope. The iCloud sync stopped working right after the paid “optional” subscription came out. No thanks. I was waiting for Apple Watch support and also the Touch ID support for quite some time. Apple Watch app could be native for faster updating and access which is a slight negative but some progress is better than no progress. My biggest want for the longest time for the iOS version was getting the Touch ID entry support. This was literally the last app I had that didn’t see that update, it took an entire year to get it, but its here and I love it. Syncing is clunky at times, however it’s better than nothing. I’ve switched between Dropbox and iCloud frequently because eventually one stops working and there’s really not a notification this has stopped working unless you see that bills you have paid have gone “unpaid” on another version even after restarting the app or hitting the sync button and nothing happens. Stocking with them though as this app keeps me on top of my bill pay game an works well with my workflow of making sure I don’t fall behind with a payment. Makes that grueling task a little more bearable..Version: 14.0.3
✓ Notifications are random, and bills can’t be deletedI have notifications set up properly for all my bills. And yet, they appear randomly on my phone seemingly when the app feels like it, not with the regularity of a scheduled notification. Nor does the app badge appear properly, but only sometimes. When? Who knows! Also, bills can’t be deleted. There’s a huge “Delete Bill” button on the bill edit screen. What does it do? Makes it go away from your list of bills only to return the very next time you open the app. Haha! Fooled you! You though delete meant delete? Nope! Chronicle believes in an alternate definition of delete it seems This app is worse than useless. It has caused me to miss bill due dates because I actually relied on it, and it has failed so miserably..Version: 14.2.4
✓ Buggy, could be betterApp is buggy. Touch ID is hit or miss—sometimes it either doesn't prompt for authentication or the app lets you in even if you have a passcode set. Would be good to get a total of all bills for a given month, and for subsequent months..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Great appI've been using this app for the last 10 months and I've got to say it's great. I can see what's I've got to pay out each month and once you learn your way around it you can use it to open links to your bank account to pay anything manually that is not done by DD. I've even just bought the Mac version of this. This is now one of my must have apps. The developer has been listening to the suggestions and it does now have iCloud syncing which is fantastic. Ive even given a suggestion to the developer and he likes the idea so fingers crossed this will happen. Update To have pro features I’ve got to purchase this even though I purchased the app to start with. And to have the pro features on Mac I’ve got to basically pay what I paid for the app again. Oh and it looks like the version I paid for is now free. So why what the heck did I purchase. It’s wrong to make users pay if they purchased the app when it was a paid app to start with. And still my suggestion has not been implemented and that was 3 years ago. Stopped using this now, all my banking apps now have what this provides. and I don’t need to purchase pro features because you get everything..Version: 12.7.1
✓ Useful but stagnantI’ve found Chronicle to be a really useful tool in managing my monthly budget, but it seems the developers aren’t too interested in much more than bug fixes. I’ve found that unless you have cloud syncing and the MacOS app, you can’t do basic things like add/edit your income amount or view historical payments. This is strange because the iPhone app allows you to do forecasting, which requires income... The Mac app also allows you to enter other information on debts, such as remaining balance and interest rate, so you can get an accurate view of your finances from this ‘single pane of glass.’ But the iPhone app seems oblivious to this information. On the plus side, the reminder notifications are super handy, the layout is intuitive and simple, and the app doesn’t have any significant bugs. I went from having no budgeting software to this and I must say it’s made a hugely positive difference. If it wasn’t for the feature disparity, I’d say this is a must-have tool in your budgeting arsenal. You can have the app automatically move payments on weekends/holidays (US holidays only) to the previous day. In my experience, all my payments on weekends and holidays are moved to the next working day, so this bugs me a little as the app keeps telling me I’m overdue for a payment. I suppose the summary of this is that I don’t expect to be getting many major new features soon, and the iPhone app is nice but it’s really only an accessory to the full Mac app..Version: 11.1.2
✓ Not very efficient to useNot sure if I understand this app because it feels like a chore at times. It's a great concept to have reminders for bills however my bill totals change every month and changing that figure is tedious. Also when The year likes to default at 4000 and takes forever to wheel back to 2015..Version: 4.6.0
✓ Please add a Touch ID supportGreat app suite, excellent for keeping track of your expenses, it's only has a limited feature set and I like it that way. It has all the most important features in a nice minimalist interface without a bloat of unnecessary gimmicks and features. A few minor bugs with due dates sometimes changing by themselves, nothing major. Doesn't support Touch ID on iPhone or iPad which is very annoying. I would rate five stars if it supported Touch ID as it provides superior convenience, speed and security. Especially considering the kind of sensitive financial information the app is likely to contain..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Nice, but...Nice app but iCloud sync has me tearing my hair out. I run it on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and changes made on one device will not propagate across all devices - sometimes changes are rolled back on the device the actual changes were made on. As a stand alone app I’d say great. Sync issue means it only gets 3 stars from me..Version: 7.2
✓ Lost some features from previous versionSome syncing issues from old version to new version, was not aware of change to new version which exacerbated the problem. Great app, I hope the company updates the new app with the same useability as the old app such as a better overview of the bill and able to view the payment history at the same time as details of the bill as well as a more intuitive way to enter multiple bill payments. It has become tedious to enter multiple bill payments. Hopefully the company is as reponsive to feedback as they have been historically..Version: 14.2.0
✓ Only 5 bills in the free versionDont waste your time and bandwidth downloading this app. You cant even test run it properly to see if you would want to pay for the Pro version...who in life only has 5 bills to add?!?!.Version: 14.0.3
✓ No Wi-Fi SyncingStill no wi-fi syncing? I want my private finance data to be private. We need a choice. No choice - no stars..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Unprofessional Service Bad ExperienceI 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!!.Version: 14.0.3
✓ Sync issueI have the same issue with sync, the app is great if they solve the sync issue. I wasted lot of time putting everything back to where it should be in regards to paid and unpaid and every time I open another device it rolled back!!! So frustrated and waste of time!!!!!.Version: 7.2
✓ Was a good app...My wife and I used this to keep on top of bills and we liked it. But if a clunky interface but it worked. Now without Dropbox sync there is no way for us to stay in sync so it really is useless couples..Version: 7.2
✓ Premium not premiumI really liked this app when I first got it, so much so that I sprang for the cloud sync features on premium. Now I’m bummed because I realized all premium allows me to do is sign on to multiple devices. I cannot download my data or make any reports based on my trends. I can’t review or edit historical data and I can’t combine my historical income with my historical expenses. Super bummed.Version: 14.4.0
✓ FrustratingTrying to get icloud sync to work and unable to do so! Have made sure my account is the same one on both iPad and iPhone, have even uninstalled and reinstalled and still won't sync.Version: 4.6.0
✓ Handy appGood to keep track of bills however I would like to see a more flexible time period option. For instance my gas and electricity is charged every 2 months (60 days) but there only options for 1 month and quarterly. Additionally, there is no option to delete payment logs so I put one in accidentally and had to recreate the whole bill again..Version: 3.0.4
✓ Sync problemsDoesn’t sync properly between 3 devices. iMac, iPhone and iPad all with same apple id.Version: 9.0.0
✓ Lack of different currency support is a deal breakerI use this app on both macOS and iOS and they have different localization settings. The big problem with this app is that it just grabs the currency of the current system and you cannot change it in the app settings. You have to change your whole localization settings in your system to use a different currency. And it’s not like the app attempts to convert the other currency to the current one, it just changes the displayed symbol. If the app ever lets you choose a different currency for each thing you pay, I’ll bump this review to 5 stars..Version: 14.2.2
