Some people get used wallets like banks (mobile banking) just for tracking or knowing if get received money from someone or payment.
It's necessary for personal finance and I am doubtful if someone are not following their payment (get paid or not) to continue their work.
But, I don't like them, because we're in a crypto world where don't need to install a bitcoin wallet like mobile banking on your phone if want just to know if received money or payment a week.
Many options to check your wallet balance but why not have your own wallet and check it in your wallet.
Yes, I did it on explorer, I just put my bitcoin address into explorer and bookmark it on the browser (simple, on chrome android, setting it as a shortcut in hope page phone).
Do you know that explorer can track many things when you enter your address on their explorers? Like IP address.
If want more detail and receive notifications like mobile banking, you must register in your email on a specific explorer and subscribe.
So if any transaction is on that address, you will receive a notification in your email.
Why do you have to sacrifice your privacy and things you can do on your side by relying on a third-party website (explorer)?
Register a blockchain explorer by email to get notification on my wallet balance changes. It's very bad advice.
If you are worrying about hack on your device, you can simply import your wallet in Watch-only mode. You can see balance, transaction history but nobody can steal your bitcoin.
