Barclays Rewards

I currently use a Barclays Rewards account to pay household bill ddr's and to receive my private pension. As soon as my pension is received I transfer it to a Rainy Day Saver. Then as a direct debit goes through I transfer the funds back to cover it. This works well

However, now I am going to be charged for the Rewards account I plan on ditching it and converting to a no fee Barclays account ( I have used Barclays since I was 16, now I'm 72!). So I am seeking a good app based alternative to the Rainy Day Saver account which I can use my phone to control.

Any recommendations?

    Chase's savings account is very similar to the Rainy Day saver but without limits.
