\nMost of us have been there.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe whip out the credit card on the Sunday evening bread and milk run, only to find that the card has expired…and now you have to use cash.<\/p>\n

Or even worse, you get pulled over in a routine traffic check point, to be told that your driver’s licence expired 3 months ago.<\/p>\n

Oops…<\/p>\n

Enter Expires.<\/p>\n

Expires is such a simple app, and yet I haven’t stopped using it since I got my grubby paws on it.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nFor all of the various things in your life that have an expiration or a renewal date, Expires is designed to keep you well in the loop at all times.<\/p>\n

I didn’t realise how many things there were in my life, and that of the family\/household, that have an expiry date.<\/p>\n

From things you deal with fairly regularly, like online subscriptions on a monthly basis, to some things a bit less regular, like smartphone contracts, to the big bad-boys that we all forget about because they renew in five years or more, like that pesky driver’s license and passport.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

Simply create an item in the app, and set the expiry date, reminder date and a simple note.<\/p>\n

There are some default items to choose from, but if that doesn’t meet your requirement, then simply make an “other event” entry, and name it whatever you want to.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

The reminders that you set will come through using the native notification centre on iOS 7, and will simply badge the app too.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve rounded up all your expiring items, and created the entries, you are done!
\nSit back and wait to be reminded.<\/p>\n

Expires<\/a> comes from developer Ji\u0159\u00ed Urb\u00e1\u0161ek<\/a><\/p>\n

The app is available on the App Store for a mere $0.99, and definitely worth it.
\nAnd remember, it only runs on your iPhone, not your iPad.<\/p>\n

Check it out, and enjoy!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
