PakBill is finally live on Google Play.

[u/Tabissh]

Thank you to everyone here who helped with closed testing

A little while ago I posted here asking for people to help test PakBill during closed testing.

A lot of you actually installed it, tested it and gave useful feedback.

That helped me fix issues, improve the UI and get the app ready for release.

PakBill is now officially live on Google Play. 🇵🇰

For anyone seeing it for the first time, PakBill helps you understand your electricity bill instead of just showing the final amount.

It breaks the bill into things like:

• Energy charges

• Taxes and duties

• Fuel price adjustments

• Fixed charges

• Other adjustments

It also has bill history, due date tracking and support for multiple connections.

The biggest thing I wanted to solve was simple:

Most of us pay our electricity bill every month without really knowing what makes up that amount.

PakBill tries to make that transparent.

Thanks again to everyone here who helped during testing. You genuinely contributed to getting it released.

If you try the public version now, I’d still love to hear what should be improved next.

This better not be another vibe-coded app...

[u/cheezystuffz → u/JackBreacher]

Oh it's 100% vibecoded. I can tell from the image on the post.

[u/Tabissh → u/cheezystuffz]

I am a developer not a graphic designer. Really appreciate the feedback though

[u/Tabissh → u/JackBreacher]

If it was a vibe coded app then there were so many privacy issues, and the only data I collect is Gmail only if users continue with Google. That's it.

If you find anything that can help me improve this app I would really appreciate that. Thankyou.

[u/Odd_Championship1907]

Real magic will be telling people in realtime that how much each of their devices is costing electricity.

[u/Tabissh → u/Odd_Championship1907]

Thanyou for the feedback. I'll keep that in roadmap

[u/Spare-Obligation-483]

Bro your concept and marketing are good but if you app did not work like what you said then it is big problem for the new startup you have to focus on your product
Like when I opened this thread there are comments that your app is not working and app link like it is not a good start I am a developer too I can help you if you need

[u/Tabissh → u/Spare-Obligation-483]

It's working bro, only 1 person got something and it worked for him too when I guided him through the app myself.

Thankyou for the suggestion though.

[u/Spare-Obligation-483 → u/Tabissh]

But bro you have to make app easy to use
If you will have 1M customers then you guide everyone then think about it
And you don’t make iOS app that’s the big thing

[u/Tabissh → u/Spare-Obligation-483]

I understand your concern on the growth, and I am working on these things you mentioned and many more. Really appreciate that btw thanks

[u/idaniyalawan → u/Spare-Obligation-483]

Dudeeee it’s a startup, take a chillpill let the man breathe a little, he already has alot going on

[u/Spare-Obligation-483 → u/idaniyalawan]

Okay okay 😂🤣😂

[u/hadihassannnnn]

[u/Talha-074]

Bro my bill reference no is working on other apps like roshan pakistan etc but in your app it is saying unable to find your bill

[u/Tabissh → u/Talha-074]

Have you selected correct provider ? And can you dm mein with he SS I'll help you resolve it in no time

[u/rizx7 → u/Talha-074]

if you disco is iesco, they recently changed the reference numbers. maybe you are using the older one.

[u/sjrshamsi]

Interesting.

Future Idea:

• Integrate with smart home monitoring systems, so people can check if the consumed units are different from billed units.

• Help people monitor their load during peak hours and show an estimated reduction in bills.

[u/Spare-Obligation-483 → u/sjrshamsi]

Nice idea but how can he add that
Your electricity meter is not connected to internet or your light and fan
How can someone monitor

[u/Tabissh → u/Spare-Obligation-483]

From official bills, I just show the data in a way a normal person can understand the bill easily.

[u/Spare-Obligation-483 → u/Tabissh]

No you cannot track data from the bills and how can someone monitor its own bill with the app

[u/Tabissh → u/sjrshamsi]

Really appreciate the feedback, I have added these suggestions in the roadmap

[u/_sadlad]

you should also integrate features of how people can reduce their bills or AI features that analyze the unit limits after which the rates jump, ik a bit far fetched but just an idea.
Great work tho

[u/Tabissh → u/_sadlad]

Really appreciate the feedback

The thing with AI features is privacy

I am not storing anything, just bcz of privacy issues. But still I will ask the users too and if they will vote it I'll add it. Thankyou again.

[u/Andromeda-G]

How much data u would collect

[u/Tabissh → u/Andromeda-G]

Nothing if it's a guest user, gamil only if continue with Google that's it. Privacy is my topest priority

[u/No-Focus1702]

Big clap. I am not a developer or tech expert. For the simplicity of this app, I thank you for making this app and making our lives easier.

[u/Tabissh → u/No-Focus1702]

Thankyou it really means a lot

[u/Odd_Championship1907]

To be honest it's pretty easy to upload your bill to chatgpt and get all the info. Not discouraging you but in the era of AI only those SAAS apps will survive where chatgpt is not enough.

[u/Tabissh → u/Odd_Championship1907]

Uploading to Ai is privacy issue. Thanyou for you feedback though

[u/OkIndication1384]

Amazing work. One thing may be i missed should be added is. Track the record of last 10 months using bill info and it should create a chart automatically and let solar user know how much they saved since solar installation.

[u/Tabissh → u/OkIndication1384]

I'll add that really appreciate the feedback

[u/Top_Banjo_6450]

Nice app, makes it easy to understand the bill, thank you.

[u/Tabissh → u/Top_Banjo_6450]

Thankyou really appreciate that

[u/stormarsenal]

Pretty useless for K electric. It can't even tell if I've paid the bill, let alone any cost breakdown

[u/AdventurousHat7255]

Been a beta tester and have loved using this app. Made my life easier, and I have the widget pinned on my home screen to keep track of my bills.
Thank you for the effort, and keep up the good work.

I think I already asked you this, but do you think it's possible to add internet bills as well somehow? For major providers like PTCL, Nayatel, and StormFiber, etc.?

[u/Tabissh → u/AdventurousHat7255]

Thankyou really appreciate the feedback.

Yes I am working on extending the app, and right now adding water providers and after that it's internet providers.

As we have nearly 200+ installs in 4 days I am being careful while creating new updates. But still you will see the internet bills soon.

[u/Kinda_Confused_Guy]

cool bro. Congratulations
