CHRONICLE
Timely payment of bills have never been this easy.
Great for: Helping you stay on top of bills.
Best feature: It stores your payment history and confirmations once your bills have been paid.
How it works: Simply enter a description of each bill (for example, utilities), the amount to be paid and the due date. The app will then list the bills in chronological order and an alert will be sent to you as each payment date draws closer. When all bills are paid, it will retain your payment history in the form of confirmation numbers and receipts.

KEY RING
Don’t lie – we’re all guilty of hoarding membership and reward cards for the discounts and promotions they entitle us to, which tends to leave us with bloated wallets. This app goes a long way in lightening them.
Great for: Storing the barcodes of loyalty cards.
Best feature: Its membership barcode scanning function.
How it works: The app uses your phone’s camera to scan barcodes and card numbers, and stores them in your phone. These can then be scanned straight from your phone by the cashier, eliminating the need to lug around the physical cards.
