Need a hand?

Most things are answered below. If yours isn't, drop me a message — a real person reads it, usually same day.

Questions people actually ask

Do I have to connect my bank?

No, and you never will. You add subscriptions yourself, or import them from a file you already have. The app doesn't do bank logins — on purpose.

Where does my data live?

On your phone. If you switch on iCloud sync in Settings, it also rides along in your own iCloud so it shows up on your other devices — but that's your iCloud, not my server.

Is this a subscription too?

Nope — that'd be a bit much. It's a single $10.99 purchase. No renewals, no trial ticking down, no ads.

Why didn't I get a reminder?

Usually a permissions thing:

  • Check reminders are on in the app's Settings.
  • Open iOS Settings → Notifications → RenewPal and allow them.
  • Try the "Send test notification" button in the app.
  • Make sure the subscription is active and the lead time is set.
Can it handle different currencies?

Yeah. Each subscription keeps its own currency, and the app converts everything into your home currency for the totals. Those conversions are estimates for a quick glance — your statement is the source of truth.

How does importing work?

Hand it a CSV, screenshot, or statement PDF and it reads it right on your phone. It shows you what it found; you tick what's correct and add it. It's still a Beta feature, so give the results a look before saving.

Does "Mark as cancelled" cancel it for me?

No — it just takes it off your running total. You'll still need to cancel with the service directly. I don't want to pretend the app did something it didn't.

I bought it but it's locked. Help?

Tap Restore purchases in Settings, on the same Apple ID you bought with. Still stuck? Message me below with that Apple ID email and I'll check it.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The only time it needs the internet is to grab today's currency rates, and to sync with iCloud if you turned that on.
