### 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.

### 2/5 — Looks nice but!

*2020-09-16, version 7.1*

It looks nice but I’m coming from another app, no way to import data can export. No way to import data of payee ! To much data to re-enter! 
Sorry I don’t do Facebook so no support for me!

### 3/5 — Sync issues

*2018-02-10*

I have been trying he lite version of this app for a few days to see if it was worth buying the premium version and I have to admit that I was enjoying it until today when it refused to sync and asked me to restart my devices to see if that would work.  I find this not acceptable.   I have also been trying another app, and until today both were neck to neck and was having a hard time deciding which to go for and today my mind was made.  Sorry to say, but if the premium version will behave like the lite version, I don’t think is worth it.   It is a shame because the app looked very promising.

### 3/5 — Need look ahead for recurring transactions

*2017-12-29*

I used iReconcile until it was unsupported by the developer. Loved it. This app is very good, but does not allow me to “look ahead” to see recurring transaction for the month ahead. In order to know what I actually have after bills come out I have to sit down with a paper and pencil or calculator to subtract everything out. Defeats the purpose, in my opinion, of having the checkbook conveniently on my phone. I would purchase the paid version and give 4 stars if it would have that feature.

### 4/5 — Data transfer

*2017-10-02*

I love the app, but the original has stopped working since I upgraded to iOS 11

I have installed the new app, but how do I transfer all the previous data ?

### 1/5 — Not Compatible

*2017-10-02, version 6.3*

I’ve been using the original app for years and loved it. Now that I’ve updated to iOS 11, I can’t even open it to look at past reports. Very disappointed. Why create a new version separately?

### 1/5 — No update?

*2017-10-01*

I just updated my iPhone to iOS 11, and now this app will not open. Error message says, "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with iOS11." In the meantime, I have no access to my work accounts which I desperately need by Monday. I have used this app almost every day and loved it for the last few years. Can't believe it is letting me down like this. Where is the update???

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2017-09-19*

I've been using this app for a while and have appreciated the update. I track all of my expenses easily and then export to a text file right into Excel for my taxes. Best app I've used for that.

### 5/5 — Easy To Use

*2017-09-19*

I've been using this app for good while. It is easy use more importantly it's always been accurate.

### 2/5 — Will this App works on iOS 11?

*2017-07-05, version 6.1*

Will the paid version of this App works on iOS 11?

### 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!

**Developer response:** We never hijacked any user's data.  There are different backup and restore options that you can use transfer your data, such as email, dropbox, and file sharing.  Please refer to our website www.svtsoftware.com for assistance.

### 1/5 — Help 2nd request to fix

*2021-01-15*

Please fix search screen!  Fonts too big and  hide search block to type in. Only since last update ‼️No fix in settings. 2nd request. Have screen shot but can’t paste 😳please fix / help‼️

### 1/5 — Zero stars actually!

*2020-09-06, version 7.0*

Totally and completely botched update (7.0).   Numbers look uneven.    Major FAIL!

Do not update!

### 1/5 — Family Share

*2020-07-23*

We were hopeful that the app would allow us (wife & I) to make real time entries individually but could not figure out or find tech support to assist.
Apparently we would have to make an entry then on load and down load from the cloud. So much for “Family Sharing”.
It also isn’t very comforting that all reviews are from 2018 and before; same on Facebook.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2019-12-05, version 6.8*

Ran into the sync  issue. Main reason I got this app in the first place.

### 1/5 — Mad 😠

*2018-02-23*

I had the original Accounts app before upgrading to iOS 11 and loved everything about it till it stopped being supported. Now that iOS 11 doesn’t allow me to even open the app I can’t seem to find a way to transfer all my data to the new Accounts 2 app. I had YEARS of account info on it that seem to be lost forever. I REFUSE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH THIS NEW APP AND FALL IN THE SAME PIT I’M IN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER LEVES YOU STRANDED WHICH FORCES YOU TO BUY THIER NEW APP.

### 1/5 — Developers are making you buy it again!

*2017-11-15, version 6.4*

I bought the fist accounts app and now it’s no longer available, shouldn’t I get the accounts 2 app free?

### 1/5 — Total BULL$***

*2017-11-03*

I’ve used the accounts app for YEARS and paid their $3 charge for it. Now with the IOS11 update it somehow no longer works... instead of updating the original app, they redevelop it and make a new accounts 2 app and force you to pay AGAIN. Shouldn’t have to pay for something I’ve used for years

### 1/5 — Accounts

*2017-10-04, version 6.3*

I have accounts and it won’t open with ios11, and if I download this I can only do 50 transactions & lose all my data??????? Can you please update accounts!!!!

### 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!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-06-14*

Thanks for this great app.  I am blind and it is so easy to use.  I will be going to the full version.  Please don’t stop this app.

### 5/5 — IOS Update

*2017-10-04*

I almost had a complete meltdown when I no longer was able to open my app after updating my phone to IOS 11 but after going to the app developer’s website it shows how to restore your data to the new app and it worked so I’m happy again.

### 5/5 — I love this app, but...

*2017-09-30*

I have the very first Account app. Since I updated to ios11, it will not open. Any possibility you can update the original app to allow transfer of the old data to the new Accounts app? Thank you.
