I love it but have suggestions

2024 - updating again! PLEASE GIVE US BACK THE Search option! It's a necessity!!! This is so frustrating to keep asking and being ignored. I will put it up to 5 stars when that feature is restored.

2023 UPDATE - lost my search function with new iPhone 14 Pro Max - really bummed.

I love this app. I have a couple suggestions for it. When I search for a specific transaction, I cannot see the most recent one in the list. The grey area is over it. I can pull down and see it but I can’t get to it to click info on it. When I search a specific transaction, I wish I could check the box for reconciliation. Why isn’t this allowed from here? It would make balancing so much faster. Otherwise been using it for years and it has helped us stay on track!!! Fix these little things and it’s 5 stars!

Eh, it’s ok

This app has been the closest that I have found to the long expired icheckbook (which was the best). I like it over other apps however I hate the re-occurring feature. They never come thru on the date set. Sometimes it’s as far out as a month later so after already having to input the bill, I then have to go back and find the reoccurring one that came thru much later. Sometimes it reflects in the balance but doesn’t even show for a couple days, such as now. My balance all of a sudden doesn’t match up and is showing a negative and I know it’s because my property tax is in the auto reoccurring bill and is being reflected in the balance but the entry is not showing up to delete it since I have already entered it manually. I would be happier if I could pause the reoccurring so that I could at least see the date and amount without having to deal with this mess.

Currency issues

As I add entries the resulting amount can be off by several cents. It looks like they are using floating point instead of currency mode so calculations.to base 10 are off

Love the app

Great replacement for my checkbook (being that it’s the 21t century), but this app could also use an update; a refresh. Getting a little aged. I would like to be able to remove recent item/transaction descriptions, have the ability to have recurring transactions (I tried, but it doesn’t work, but this was also awhile ago), and a weird glitch happens when I put in a recent transaction, the category, and then take a picture of the receipt. When I return to the transaction input page, the category is removed. Only happens if I do it in that order.

Update (I don’t know where the previous came from so may not apply now but still submitting in case. I would also like to have a transfer tab in line with income and expenses. App is still aged.

So happy to have you back

Back in June I completed an iPhone update and much to my dismay I was unable to utilize your app as I’ve done so for many years. So after much investigation I downloaded another check register app and have been using it until yesterday. There was no other app that has all of the great features your app has. Since there have been a few iPhone updates since June I thought I’d try and reinstall your app again. I have never been so happy to see it back on my phone again. A simple feature of hiding reconciled entries is such a time saver. Being able to track like expenses and proving a report of those expenses is invaluable to me. Needless to say I am thrilled to have your app back. I’m not sure when my iPhone update corrected the problem but I’m glad to have you app again.

Please don’t leave me again 😆

Doesn’t Add Up

Overall, it’s a standard check book app. There are options that are useful for tracking expenses and whatnot. The biggest issue I have, is that it doesn’t “math correctly.” For instance, I had a total amount ending in $0.09. It was off by $0.02 somehow, compared to my actual check account, which was $0.11. I could NOT find the error, as all my entries were correct. So, I attempted to add 2 cents as a separate entry, and instead of equaling 11 cents, it equaled 12 cents! I tried adding 1 cent instead, and it equaled 10 cents. There was no way of correcting the error, due to the app’s formula or something. This is a pretty big deal, as it’s happened frequently since I’ve used this app. Considering looking for something else, as I need something that is accurate for FINANCES.

Love this app so far

I was wanting a way to not only do my checkbook right on the spot but a break down by category. This part could be improved on but it may be in the paid version which I plan on getting but it can be used exported to an excel spreadsheet very easily and a sort from there is a breeze. I have not found to much about this app I don't like. Awesome awesome awesome. I have been using this for a couple of months now and I really like this app. Well worth the money. One thing I have found is when you do the backups, you need to create a new one each time so you get the most updated info. This is not clear on how to do this but you need to add a new local backup by hitting the + sign in the upper right hand corner.

I no longer believe this is supported. I have reached out for support About the fact that it no longer allows you to export data and I have heard nothing back.

Discrepancies

This app is okay but there are issues with balancing. The total hardly ever matches my checking account. It’s always off by at least one penny if not several. Lasting it was off 6 cents when only one charge was added and nothing else had changed. I’m constantly doing corrections to make balances match. This needs to be fixed. It’s gotten worse recently. Last night I made a correction and it matched my checking account. I got up to check my balance and my paycheck was there so I added into the register app. Low and behold it is off four cents. If I try to correct it by four cents the balance doesn’t change in the app. It’s annoying for sure. I was going to give 2 stars but the rest of the app is good. They need to fix this glitch. I’ve sent emails to support and the error has been fixed temporarily at times. I have given up because it’s constant and I’m tired of wasting my time when nothing changes.

Does the basics sufficiently.

The only gripe I have is with recurring entries posting lags. Example; I have a recurring entry for the 11th of every month. Today is the 17th and that entry has not posted yet. Today I added a new recurring entry and that one posted immediately, but if I manually add the one that was supposed to post on the 11th it will eventually post again at some random point in time. I feel dumb now. I just brainlessly upgraded to premium so I could include a credit card account. I don’t see a way to enter one transaction that captures a payment transfer from a checking account to the credit card account. Has this app been updated in the past five years?
