### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-10-31, version 1.12.5*

Great app. But how about a dark mode.

### 5/5 — Best Check Booking App on Apple

*2022-05-16, version 1.12.5*

I’ve talked to the creator, several times, the nicest people and they help you all the way. I use this to keep up with my expenses and shares with my wife when we put stuff in the phone. Try it, you won’t go back to anything else!

### 3/5 — Great app!!

*2020-08-03, version 1.11.9*

Like this app a lot when everything works rite!!

### 1/5 — Buyer beware

*2018-02-26, version 1.11.7*

This app is actually terrible. First, you have to be on a waiting list for the synchronized option. Secondly, if you don’t apply a purchase or deposit the day of, you better do it before it hits midnight. You can’t record something from yesterday!!! It’s actually terrible. I really hope that I can stop the transaction before they get my money. So disappointed.

### 2/5 — Great Finance Tracking App

*2017-12-11, version 1.11.5*

This app is great! It is very simplistic with easy transaction posting. Developer is very responsive to your questions which is rare. I've asked for a few additional upgrades for future revisions which if occur 5 stars will happen. Great job developer!!!

That was my initial review. My outlook has changed. The $4.99 a month is overpriced especially since the app has not been updated in over a year. This app needs the availability to show future balance over a 30, 60, or 90 by summing total scheduled deposits minus the scheduled deposits. Scheduled debuts are not even in order by month. For some reason when you have not used a merchant the name is dropped. 

On to the next app.

### 2/5 — Doesn't sync

*2017-09-26, version 1.11.5*

This app is good if you don't want to share info with another device. Not my first issue. I'm paying $5 a month for a syncing app just so my husband can over draw because his app isn't syncing with mine. And yes, as I've been asked by the app creator before, he's signed in. I'll be finding a new one where I'm not wasting my money, and some.

### 2/5 — Best Checkbook App, but...

*2017-09-25, version 1.11.5*

By far my favorite checkbook app since iReconcile has gone away. It’s really perfect, but why the two star rating then???  The monthly fee to use the syncing is ridiculously high!  Unfortunately there is no competition so forced paying it so the wife and I can be in sync.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2017-08-27, version 1.11.5*

I'm horrible when it comes to balancing my checkbook. This app makes it so much easier. I like that I can keep track of multiple accounts.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2017-08-04, version 1.11.5*

Have had this app for awhile. Usually works pretty well. Frustrating that the scheduled transaction display by "day" order instead of "date".  Think about that: in the list a transaction for 9/2 appears before one for 8/6, because "2" comes before "6". I'm not a programmer but that ought to be fairly easy code to correct. Have also been told they're going to get the re-occurring option on the subscription (auto renew) but haven't seen them that either. Support is very responsive to inquiries, just need more updates.

### 5/5 — Superb App!

*2017-07-30, version 1.11.5*

What great support!!! It's worth every penny! Now when my wife makes a mistake on this checkbook app. I'll be able to correct it!
I've been using this app. for a very long time.
Since I was only able to view it on my Iphone my wife could not check the balance.
I downloaded the app to my wife's Iphone and was unable to get it to sync to my phone.
When I called Support the gentleman was able to help me get the app. working correctly and I was able to sync it to my wife's Iphone in a very short period of time!!! Best support of any app I've ever used!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
