We agree that managing recurring bills could be better. Currently, the way to edit recurring bills is to change the most recent copy and that will change ones that follow. It will not affect the past expenses.
We’re considering how to improve this, and will leave this under review for now.An error occurred while saving the comment -

Updating this as it’s been a while. You can currently accomplish this by setting your expense to recur every month and then editing the amount on the expense once it posts.
Apologies that we don’t have a better way of managing this yet!

Our electricity bill varies every month, so do many of our other bills. I set it as recurring and entered $1.00 so my flatmate understands not to pay it yet. If I update the amount, it will update for all future occurrences as well. An easy fix would be a prompt after updating the amount to say "update this occurence or all future occurrences as well?" Quite a simple fix in the interim, no?
I'm a bit put off by the fact that this has been on your roadmap for over 10 years and something that applies to likely every single user, no less!
Last comment 5 years ago? Apart from friends travelling together, wouldn't reoccurring expenses apply to all other users??? Currently there is no way to set recurring payments for any of the following:
-Electricity
-Oil
-Gas
-Cable when a la carte charges are incurred (i.e. renting movies)
-Variable cell phone plans
-Phone plans with long distance charges
-Water
-Any invoice that contains a late charge
The list goes on! To assume that the current recurring payment function will suffice is negligent. Its not about a complete overhaul here, some simple additions to the current user story will suffice for now just to get a basic MVP as it relates to variable recurring expenses.
To avoid any work on this over this many years really defeats the principles of innovation. Sure it doesn't have all the votes, but has it occurred to you that those who would have voted for this perhaps deleted the app long ago in search of something that can handle this basic premise?
