Great checkbook app!

I love this app. I used to use a paper ledger to keep track of my expenses, but this app makes it so convenient. Whenever I purchase something, all I have to do is log in & record my transaction. Once a week I double check to make sure everything's cleared with my bank. The only issue that I have with this app is that you can’t print out a group of transactions so that you can match it up with your bank ledger. I have to keep going back & forth between bank ledger & this app. I would find it easier to look at both accounts on separate pieces of paper. Love the app! Great job and keep the updates coming!

Easy to use

Find it helps keep track of two very busy accounts during the month, I know where I am at all times

Good choice for tracking

Update: for many years this app has had a bug which causes it to perform incorrect arithmetic. Correct addition and subtraction are pretty much the most important functions in a checkbook app. I reported this to the author several times but it still occurs fairly often, one or two cents off here and there. It’s a nuisance. More importantly, it’s something that simply shouldn’t occur in a finance app.

Tried several similar apps for account management, found I preferred this one for its balance of functionality and ease of use. Intuitive interface, not bloated or overly complicated.
It falls short in facilitating projection of expenses/balances in the immediate future: I would like to see my recurring transactions in the register before they happen, perhaps in a different color, so that they are automatically included when I make an estimate of my upcoming activities. With the addition of that function, this would definitely be a 5-star app!

Great App

Easy to use and it allows me to quickly keep track of all my accounts without any fuss.

Perfect for me

After using an excel spreadsheet that I created for about 15 years, it was either a total pc upgrade and purchase of ms office, I tried 6 or 7 apps. This works for me just fine. Support is sketchy as I asked a question 2 or 3 weeks ago with no reply. Don’t waste time with the Dropbox because it doesn’t appear to work. I use email backup to another device and it works just fine. Overall, (thankfully) it is very easy. I have 4 bank accounts, several credit card accounts and some accounts receivable. It manages them all flawlessly and what used to take minutes now takes seconds...

Love it!

Very easy to use!

Set ALL Reoccurring Transactions to the 1st

I use this app exclusively for my checking and savings accounts and really enjoy its ease of use but the one thing that nags the heck out of me is that memorized transactions don't show up on the designated date each month. I have reoccurring transactions that are saved for the 10th & 15th of the month that still haven't been added as of the 25th of the month! I have deleted them and re-entered them to an earlier date to try and push the issue but it seems to add the transactions whenever it feels like it. I have to mentally remove the money from my balance. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the app? It delays my ability to reconcile the accounts too since my statements come out around the middle of the month so I have to wait for the app to "decide" to add the transactions.

Great Banking App

I have been using this app (paid version) for about six months. Being a previous user of iReconcile, I found it very useful to have a mobile "check register" for keeping track of debit card expenditures, but the iReconcile developers chose not to update the app for iOS 10.x on the iPone 7, so I had to find another app. Checkbook is the replacement! It is designed for iOS 10.x and works very well. I haven't experienced any problems once the interface was understood. It's a great app for keeping your account records, balances, etc., on the go.

Love it

Can't wait to see what happens at month end!

Recurring Payment Problems

I've used other apps in the past for keeping tabs on my checking account. I chose this app for the recurring transactions feature. It worked fine for about a month, but then the recurring transactions started to come late. Two months ago, I sent in a bug report and an enhancement request to allow recurring transactions to be brought in to the ledger early (so one could see how much is left over after the bills are paid until the next paycheck). To date, there has been no response and my recurring transactions from last Friday haven't posted (it's now Tuesday).

2 stars are for aesthetics only. Functionally, the app needs work to make it superior. I'll be shopping for a different app this week.
