Bills from Sockii recently landed in the iOS App Store, and we took the bill tracking app for a spin. Like its competitors, Bills has all the core features you need to track and organize your bills. It has statistics to let you see where your money is being spent, categories to help you organize bills, a customizable history that lets you display bills within a select time frame, reminders, and more. If you need to backup your data, Bills has iCloud support, so you can backup and sync across devices. There's also a payment tracker that lets you enter the date and the amount you paid for a bill. The payment information is stored within the app and viewable as a payment history. Unlike BillMinder, Bills does not let you send this payment information to a third-party app like Pocket Money.

BillMinder is a simple app for iOS devices that allows you to enter any number of recurring bills and remind you before they are do. Hence the name "BillMinder," obviously. I use BillMinder to alert me and will say that despite a few limitations it does a great job of reminding me of upcoming bills. You can see a full demo in the video below, but it's a fairly straightforward app. In BillMinder you set a recurring date, the amount of each bill and the interval you'd like to be reminded of said bills. I have mine set to one week before they are due. Yes, you could do this with a calendar app, but then you have bills littering your calendar and no real accounting of how much you've paid. Read More
