This app promises to end your subscription overload - and I'm glad I found it Features (Image credit: Future / Paul Hatton) (Image credit: Future / Paul Hatton) (Image credit: Future / Paul Hatton) Paul Hatton published Homescreen Heroes: Subee will manage and even help cancel subscriptions Do you remember the days when you used to own things? You would walk to the local music store and walk out with a CD. You’d need some graphics software, so you’d buy a license for Adobe Photoshop . The latest blockbuster film would get released, and you’d buy it on DVD. Those days are long gone, my friend. Now the only option we have is subscriptions , weekly or monthly rentals that give us access to a service, but only for a limited period of time.

This is currently the only email provider that is supported, but I would expect others to be added in time. Subee also has plans to let users connect a bank account so that subscriptions can be automatically added with exact accuracy. The automatic email connection is the fastest, although the manual alternative isn’t particularly laborious. I was able to set up each subscription in one or two minutes. All you have to do is enter some basic information, including the company name, the price, the payment frequency, and the renewal date. Simple. Subee then adds the subscription to your list with a clear label next to each detailing the number of days left till renewal. Subscriptions can then be sorted so you can get more specific information about renewals and which subscriptions are your most costly. Your subscriptions are also visible with the calendar view.
