Checkbook Registry but digital!

My parents instilled balancing out my checking account since I was 16. I was doing it with a checkbook registry up until 6-7 years ago. I found about this app and it’s my lively hood. For someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, this helps me know what I can and can’t spend. Not every bill you pay for is taken out the same day, not every tip you leave at a restaurant is taken out the same day. This holds me accountable for what I can and can’t spend. I don’t even check my bank account to know how much I can and can’t spend, it’s not accurate but with this I know. Especially since I do balance it daily.

Too many issues

I have been using this app for over a year and initially I really liked it. My expenses are pretty basic, a few reoccurring deductions and a few non-reoccurring deductions but nothing too overwhelming. As of late I have noticed more issues with the app with the main one being the balance is always incorrect! Something isn’t right with the math. Another annoying issue is if you set up a recurring deduction or addition then that amount changes and you update it, it goes back to all previous entries and updates those as well so your balance is WAY off!! Also, although it’s a convenient feature, if you repeatedly have a recurring deduction, like to a credit card, the name pops up so you can easily select it; however, I have this credit card name at least 15 times across the selection bar!! Basically the same credit card name appears as a selection unnecessarily. This also happens with other institutions I make a payment to; the recurring names duplicates, triplicates or quadruples in the selection bar. This was corrected in a previous version of the app but it appears to be back again. The advertisements have also become longer and more annoying. I did not pay for this app because I wanted to see if it was worth it and sadly it us NOT. What’s the point in buying an app that has frequent bugs & issues but most importantly cannot provide an accurate account balance?

Great app; wish you could add own categories

Really great app to manage money and make sure keeping within your means!
I wish you could add more / custom categories to the expenses/income types..

Certainly has help me track my finances

When I first started using the app you could have three accounts listed which was great for the every day user in my mind. But now it appears that if you did not buy it at some point then you only right as well. However when I first got the app it was a one time payment not a subscription but that one time payment has certainly help me have all the media accounts I need to keep track of on a regular when I first started using the app you could have three accounts listed which was great for the every day user in my mind. But now it appears that if you did not buy it at some point then you only get one account which could be all right as well. However when I first got the app it was a one time payment not a subscription but that one time payment has certainly helped me have all the major accounts I need to keep track of on a regular basis. I certainly would recommend this to anyone who likes to keep a close eye on things and use a checkbook register but doesn’t want to carry a paper one around with them.

Nice

Pretty easy to use and helpful

It helps me keep my transactions organized and tidy. If you are looking for a simple easy going app to manage yours I will recommend it.

Best checkbook app out there

Over the course of the last few years I have tried multiple Checkbook appsThat were supposed to work across multiple devices. Some of them I would use for six or eight months and then they would stop working right, wouldn’t update across multiple devices as they said they would, or just had flaws that I couldn’t work around. We have been using The free version of this one for several months now across multiple devices and no issues. It works across multiple devices correctly, updates real time across multiple devices, and we have had no issues with the app crashing or not working properly.

Handy

It is very handy. I enjoy using this daily to know exactly my spending habits.

Slowly declining

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. Loved how easy it was. However, the last 6 months or so, the app has been declining. My reoccurring transactions duplicate themselves to show up 20 times in a row, on the same day! It typically saves vendors once you enter them once, and now it duplicates those as well. So if I visit Irving’s gas station weekly for a month, it’s now in there 4 different times as a vendor, instead of once that I can select each time. When you enter an amount and make a mistake and go to delete one number, it then rounds the whole thing up and you have to delete it and start over. It also isn’t adding properly. Just today my balance was $500. I added a $50 transaction and now all of a sudden it shows I have 7.50 left. I use this as my “source of truth” as I have pending checks and such, but I just cannot rely on it anymore. I have years of data on here and it’s sad that I’ll have to find a new app due to the LARGE number of bugs. It’s such a simple app, so I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to maintain. :(
