Pay Off Debt app review: get out of debt and stay ahead permanently
Introduction
Whether you’re simply looking for a way of managing your mortgage payments more efficiently or it has become time for you to take a pair of scissors to your credit cards, this iPhone and iPad app should help you get your debts paid off in a timely manner thanks to its smart snowballing approach.

I really like the idea of providing users with a low-cost solution to managing their own debts rather than deferring one’s financial decisions to a third party, so I would definitely recommend considering this app if you’ve got a few outstanding amounts to pay off.
Snowball Your Debt Payments
Pay Off Debt quite cleverly enables you to prioritize your debts based on your own preferences, so if you want to pay off the lowest balance first to free up more funds for the remaining debts then you can, and if you want to get the highest interest debts paid off first, then that’s an option too.

Share Your Records via Email
When it comes to tracking your ongoing payments, there are obviously record-keeping tools for monitoring your installments but you can also take a quick glance at progress bars for a visual presentation of how close you are to getting a given debt paid off.
