### 1/5 — Sneaky

*2024-06-24*

Utilizing account one for the last couple years. All of a sudden I’m entering transactions and I noticed that I’m now in account two and I can’t enter all my transactions without paying a subscription. Very sneaky. I love the app. I’ve always used the app. But now I just read it said him and I’m not willing to pay. Avoid sneaky apps.

### 1/5 — They hijacked all my data

*2023-10-02*

I have been using Lite version 2 for
Years and have been very happy with it. Today I went in to Try and add a transaction and all my data was gone!! Now to find out that o need to update to version three which is NOT FREE to get my data back. This is bribery to get my data - never again!

### 3/5 — Accountant

*2023-05-26*

It is a very good app and works perfect ;however, i gave 3 stars just because after 100 entries you have to buy the full version of the app. The description of the app does not say or clarify that you eventually have to buy the full version.

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2022-11-17*

Love the app. Easy to use, and very convenient.

With the most recent update, I noticed that the app now crashes when attempting a Dropbox backup. Any suggestions for resolving this?

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-11-08*

Looking at the lite version of 2
Can’t use 3 because of a glitch in the reoccurring screen 
Date and start time fields are not right 
All squished down 
But 2 works great 
I would like to see option to make payment out of checking account to credit card account because now you have to do two transactions 
Create payment in checking account and then you have to create another one in credit card account to show payment there

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-10-06*

This is the app I have been looking for. I tried about every one of them but this is the best. I use this to track all my finances. Thinking of buying the full version

### 5/5 — Excellent App!!!

*2022-09-28, version 8.2*

I have been using this App for a long while now. I just need the Basics, so I have NOT updated lately or connected anything with my Bank Account. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Best app to keep finances in order

*2022-09-14*

Absolutely my go to app to keep all my accounts balanced, and in order. Simple to use interface I’ve tried others, and they are so much more complicated.

### 5/5 — I’d like to have two copies….

*2022-08-12, version 7.7*

…to separate work and personal amounts. Happy to buy a second installation

### 5/5 — The Best

*2021-12-05*

I’ve had this app since 2014! It has become indispensable to me. Initially, I used it just as my checkbook ledger, but I’ve since added my credit card accounts. This allows me to see my credit card and bank account balances at a glance. It is easy to use, and I love seeing where my money is being spent using the reports. I never write reviews (and I’ve waited 7 years to write this one), but I love this app!
