Helps Me Budget

I absolutely love this app. Helps me budget satisfied money for various needs that may come up. Easy to balance with my bank and keeps me to the penny. I love it.

Everything in one place.

Great having everything in one place on my iPhone. I do wish I could sync all my accounts automatically when I transfer from one account to another.

Best digital checkbook!

Easy to use, updates immediately, and both of us have access. What more do I need.

The Best

I’ve tried them all and this is the easiest, simplest and most effective method out there!

Great Customer Service!

I got this app because my old one crapped out on me and deleted all my data. I chose this one because it is reasonably priced and it has an option for recording recurring payments. It’s been great to use, but the real test came today. I was having a problem with one of the functions (which turned out to be totally MY fault, not the app, but anyway) so I sent a message to the developer through this page. First I got an auto-response back saying they would contact me in 1-2 days. That was okay, I was prepared to wait. Then, surprise! I got an email from the developer within the next 15 minutes offering me help. He did all he could to help me, until I realized it was me doing something wrong and apologized for taking his time. He was so nice about it and thanked me for being a subscriber. I wish all companies were that nice. It’s a nice little app and if you want something inexpensive and easy to use, you should get it.

Balance My Checkbook

I am a stickler when it comes to my checkbook. I always try to record transactions as soon as they occur and I make sure everything balances at the end of the month. (A skill my dad taught me.)
For years I used a paper checkbook register and did all the addition and subtraction myself. Then I found a checkbook calculator that did the addition and subtraction for me as I made each entry.
However, once I found this app, I knew it was all I would ever need. It definitely makes keeping track of incoming and outgoing funds so much easier.
Wish I could get my husband to use it. Maybe he wouldn’t get so frustrated with his statements not matching his register!

The Best!

I have been using this app for a couple years now, and it is the best electronic transaction register I have used. I used to keep a paper register, and this is the best option, other than that. I love being able to add multiple accounts and filter through cleared and non-cleared transactions. 10/10, highly recommend.

Essential App

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.

Ability to manually sort accounts would be great

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

Keeps Me Balanced

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.

Crashing

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.

So Useful!

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

Can’t function without this app in my life!

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!

Balancing the check book

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.

Best Check Register By Far

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

Basic Checkbook App

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.

New Ads Format

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.

Looooove this App!

This is the coolest, and easiest way to manage your money. I am glad I found it!

Excellent Checkbook Register App

5 stars. This is one of the best checkbook register apps I’ve found. I appreciate that it focuses on account management and future transaction planning without trying to become an overly complicated budgeting system.

I use the scheduling feature extensively to enter future bills, expenses, and planned transactions. It helps me see my true available balance and stay ahead of upcoming obligations. The interface is clean, simple, and easy to learn.

My biggest feature request would be enhanced bank synchronization. Ideally, I would like the app to sync automatically with my checking and savings accounts while allowing me to continue manually entering future transactions. When an actual bank transaction posts, it would be great if the app could automatically recognize and match it to the scheduled transaction and then clear it from the register.

That would provide the best of both worlds: the simplicity of a traditional check register with the convenience of modern account syncing.

Thank you for creating an app that stays focused on what many of us actually want: a simple, effective way to manage our checking account without the complexity of large budgeting platforms.
