### 5/5 — Essential App

*2026-08-14, version 2.8.23*

I’ve been using this app for more than 10 years. Not sure how I managed my accounts without it. Easy to use. Stable. Great functionality. Regular updates. Rare bugs are addressed quickly. Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Ability to manually sort accounts would be great

*2026-08-12, version 2.8.23*

I wish there’s an option to manually sort accounts on the account page/screen in whatever order a user wants. That would be great.

Also, on the account list screen, when I click on any account I would like to see a starting balance at the very bottom of the transactions. This gives me a visual picture of the starting balance I had back then when I first started and the balance at the present time. Thank you

### 5/5 — Keeps Me Balanced

*2026-08-11, version 2.8.23*

Best app to figure out where your money goes. I’ve used it for bills, a contractor job, my Dad’s Estate. Really worth the annual subscription.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2026-08-07, version 2.8.23*

In the last week, the app will not open without crashing. I can’t access my information. It is up to date and I have even reinstalled. I’m not sure what to do.

### 5/5 — So Useful!

*2026-07-20, version 2.8.21*

This app is just what I needed.  It’s simple, useful and shows me the info I need.  Good job!

### 5/5 — Can’t function without this app in my life!

*2026-07-11, version 2.8.21*

This app is a life changer for sure. I am able to keep our bank account in the positive every month. I love being able to look back on past debits/credits with the search function. Please keep this app going, because I simply can’t live without it!

### 4/5 — Balancing the check book

*2026-07-11, version 2.8.21*

I love the app but I wish it had a function when I’m reconciling to my bank account. An extra column to check when the transaction appears in my bank account.

### 5/5 — Best Check Register By Far

*2026-07-07, version 2.8.21*

I’ve used several check register apps. This one is by far the best one out there. Extremely user friendly.

### 4/5 — Basic Checkbook App

*2026-07-02, version 2.8.21*

This app has some decent features such as recurring charges and the ability to add multiple accounts. I paid the monthly fee, hoping that I would have some additional features, but the app continues to show that I'm not logged in. Also, I would highly value the ability to categorize transactions according to purpose. Such as food, clothing, etc., with perhaps the ability to show how much is spent in each category per month.

### 1/5 — New Ads Format

*2026-06-23, version 2.8.21*

I recognize that revenue is necessary to support the app, but the number and frequency of ads have gone too far. At this point, they significantly interfere with usability and overall experience.
