Why aren’t recurring charges included? If this is possible it would be a 5 star app ### 3/5 — No Sub accounts *2025-10-16* I have accounts 2. My biggest feature wish is the addition of sub-accounts. This is a good checkbook for simple tracking. ### 3/5 — Question *2025-03-10* Once I purchase the app and pay the fee associated are there additional charges in the future for it use? **Developer response:** Just a one time pay for the app. ### 4/5 — Great app but have a question *2025-02-11* How do you get the recurring transactions to show up in the account register before the due date? It would be nice to see the future balance in the register before the due date. Thank you ### 2/5 — NO BEGGING POP-UPS FOOLS!!!! 🤬 *2024-11-29* STOP SENDING POP-UPS SUCKERS!!! I AM NOT USING ANYTHING ELSE FOR PRICE!! DONT NEED IT!!! ### 2/5 — PAIN IN BUTT!!!! *2024-08-14* I TOLD YOU TO STOP SENDING POP-UPS!!!!!!! ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD OR WHAT??!!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — YOU ARE A PAIN IN BUTT!!!! *2024-08-02* I TOLD YOU TO STOP SENDING POP-UPS TO BUY SOMETHING I DONT NEED!!! ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD OR WHAT??!!! THIS IS YOUR LAST TIME HEATHENS!!!!!! ### 1/5 — POP-UPS *2024-03-20* I TOLD THESE IGNORANT SUCKERS TO STOP SENDING POP-UPS BECAUSE I AM NOT PAYING FOR NOTHING!!! THEY MUST BE STUPID!!! **Developer response:** You can switch to color icons by editing an account and select icon type to 3D, which are colored. ### 2/5 — POP-UPS!!!! *2024-02-11* STOP SENDING STUPID POP-UPS AGAIN!!!! I AM NOT UPDATING TO NOTHING!!!! I DO NOT NEED ANYTHING PAST BASIC. CHARGE THE RICH MORE MONIES!!!! **Developer response:** You can switch to color icons by editing an account and select icon type to 3D, which are colored. ### 4/5 — Good so far *2024-02-07* I’m currently using accounts 3L as a replacement for an old version of quicken that quit working. Id like to suggest a clear delineation in the account transactions separating future transactions from the current and past dates. In other words, today is 2/7/24, put a double line, bold line, shading, or something below that date so users can see what is in the future separate from today and the past. This draws your eye to your current balance and allows easy reconciliation of bills set to be paid against what is set up in online banking. ### 2/5 — PESKY POP-UPS!!! *2023-12-29* USING POP-UPS TO TRY TO FORCE YOU INTO PAYING FOR AN APP YOU DO NOT NEED!! I ALSO DONT LIKE POP-UP SUGGESTIONS!! IF I NEED HELP, I WILL LET YOU KNOW!!! **Developer response:** You can switch to color icons by editing an account and select icon type to 3D, which are colored. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — STUPID JERKS!!! *2026-04-14, version 3.11* STOP SENDING POP-UPS FOR $MONIES!!!!! NOT UPDATING ANYTHING!!!!! ### 1/5 — 100 transaction limit. *2026-01-17* Yes it’s in the Mile long description… at the very end. Nobody reads all of that. So you spend all this time imputing all this data in just to have them force you to buy their”full version.” I’m sure this works for many. Because it’s f&$:$ annoying to do all that. So people are probably like… I’ll just pay it rather than redo this on another actual free app. I think it’s strategic of them. Delete. ### 1/5 — PAIN IN BUTT!!! *2025-09-11, version 3.11* STOP SENDING POP-UPS!!!

I do wonder if I can have two files. I track my mom’s finances as well as my own but don’t want to track them together. I have checked the FAQ but didn’t see any reference to being able to have 2 separate files. Is this possible in the full version? ### 5/5 — Data at your Fingertips *2026-03-02* My experience with Account 3 lite has been great. Been using it for over 6yrs without issue. Very helpful!!! Recommended. ### 5/5 — Nice checkbook register for multiple accounts *2026-01-09* I like the features of this checkbook register, easy to use and it doesn’t force you to use categories or memos like some other do but is there if needed. ### 5/5 — Pdf support *2025-12-19* Like the app but my employer uses .pdf for checks and I would like to import them. Thanks ### 5/5 — Data Transfer *2025-07-19* I am trying Accounts3 Lite as a replacement checkbook app for one that I’ve been using for years which apparently is no longer supported. The Accounts3 checkbook app is truly impressive! I save backups of my existing checkbook app daily to one of my email accounts and my email app tells me that the file is saved as a .cbdbz text file. Is it possible to restore this type of data file into the Accounts3 checkbook app so that I will have a complete history from my previous checkbook app? Thank You! ### 5/5 — Acc. *2025-06-29, version 3.11* Keeps all your budget ### 5/5 — Pretty good app, now fix the paid version of this app *2025-02-16* I have used this app for about 3 months now so far it is a pretty good app, i would like to switch to the paid version but too many bad reviews for the paid version ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-11-04, version 3.9* Is the a way to reconcile an account in this app? ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-04* I’ve been using this app for 3 months and it works well. I have used QuickBooks for 25 years managing companies and personal. This app will do everything I need for personal. One question : is it possible when using the “split” transaction to post a discount as well as the charges? I would use it on a credit card post when given a refund or discount. Thanks ### 5/5 — Best Accounts App out there *2023-07-31* I love this App but there is one feature that I feel is missing that I would love to see added. If there was a way to hide an account especially your Savings Account from the main viewing window. That would make this App the number one in the App Store for sure. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
