### 1/5 — Saving

*2017-06-08, version 57.0*

Couldn't figure out how to get the app to save the register. Literally spent hours trying to get it to work. There is a place to "contact us". I sent email asking for help with the app. No response. Very disappointed. I want my .99 back.

### 1/5 — Me

*2016-11-02, version 56.0*

Freezes up often

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2016-10-16, version 56.0*

Clunky and glitchy

### 1/5 — Deserves No Stars

*2016-07-26, version 55.0*

I was so disappointed in this app. I figured out how to enter transactions, and seemed labor intensive. Then when I had one whole page entered, I could not get to another page. It all just froze wouldn't let me do anything. I think you need to go back to the drawing board on this one. I downloaded another register, it was a breeze. Sorry guys.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2016-05-08, version 51.0*

Bought this to help balance my ckbk after my arm surgery since I couldn't write and am disappointed with its performance. Not easy to use at all! Bought a much better app with better features.

### 1/5 — Save your Money

*2016-03-23, version 49.0*

This is not even worth 99 cents!

### 2/5 — Not User Friendly

*2015-02-28, version 19.0*

The ap is a great concept, but it is not easy to use.  The directions aren't easy to find, saving, editing, basic use functions are not explained.  I spent 20 minutes trying to create a register, the ap hangs up, won't load or freezes.

### 1/5 — Total Waste of Money

*2014-10-31, version 12.0*

Is very slow to respond and when it does respond, it's adding my transactions not subtracting them and there no instructions or real Help.

### 1/5 — Unexpectedly bad.

*2014-08-20, version 11.0*

Disappointed to say the least.  A check book register is so basic.  Not sure how this made it to the iTunes lineup at all.

### 2/5 — buggy app

*2014-07-27, version 11.0*

app has a lots of bugs,please fix them

### 1/5 — Horrible App - Save your money!

*2014-05-23, version 11.0*

This is a buggy app that is difficult to even type in. Do not waste your time or money with this app.

### 1/5 — Keeps deleting my files

*2026-06-21, version 64.0*

I used to like this app. It was simple and didn’t have all that extra and unnecessary stuff that other checkbook register apps have. But after the recent updates I have had my files completely deleted not once, but twice. So I’m done. Time to switch to something else

### 1/5 — I wish my money was refundable

*2023-07-06, version 57.0*

This app is horrible! I wish I had my money back to put in my real checkbook register. 

I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone, especially people just starting out.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-02-28, version 57.0*

At first it let me change the cells name that was good but on se on column I was not able to edit at all not worth the money to buy.

### 1/5 — No Good

*2019-11-23, version 57.0*

I could only use one page and the balance did not carry over so I lost my other transactions! Don’t use it!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-08-17, version 57.0*

Every time I try to add page to checkbook I loose everything. All lost from 4/16/19, imagine how that messes up your accounting

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-03-07, version 57.0*

Difficult to understand and use.  No instructions anywhere on the app.  I do not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Not worth a penny!

*2019-01-16, version 57.0*

It will loose everything you put in in a day,s Time, No customer support at all!
Don’t waste your money on that!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-07-27, version 57.0*

I really wanted to like this app! Frequently resets and all data placed in you loose!

### 1/5 — Stupid App.

*2018-07-09, version 57.0*

1) First of all wish I could get my .99 back. 
The history updates said you can add columns. That’s a lie! Just want it to look like my paper check register, nothing more then that. 
2) I was surprised to balance my register like I ways do. The math was off. I thought it was me that put the numbers in wrong. Spent 2 hrs going threw receipts. It was not me. I also did the math against my  bank acct. numbers on line. Nope! That wasn’t the problem. The app calculator was wrong! Don’t trust it after that. Don’t waste your money on this app. 
3) e-mailed the app creators. No reply at all! Please listen to me. It does work like it says it does. Waste of money!!!

Only put a one star because I can’t put a zero star.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-05-19, version 57.0*

I wanted something that felt like an actual paper checkbook register, and I really thought this was it. The program is very glitchy, and once you save it can’t add to it or make any changes. Useless!

### 5/5 — Checkbook Register

*2019-07-15, version 57.0*

Great app for my purpose of just wanting a simple checkbook register. Price is right. Directions clear. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I️ was looking for!

*2018-08-31, version 57.0*

I️ didnt want any bells or whistles. I️ didnt want the app to sync with my bank account. I️ simply want an old school-like check register where I️ could write down what I️ use with my debit card as I️ use it. This is perfectly simple!!  Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-04-11, version 10.0*

I make a lot of transactions with my ATM and this app helps me stay on top of my balance in a clean, organize way on my iPhone 👍👍

### 4/5 — Simple

*2019-05-20, version 57.0*

I would give a five star. It is simple and easy to use. I would like to be about to add columns for date and check numbers.

### 4/5 — Simple

*2018-12-16, version 57.0*

This app is by far the best app I have found, because it really is simplest stick at best. It takes a second to input transactions whether they are with drawls or deposit and the app keeps a running total. This is exactly what I was looking for no-frills just basic accounting and it works.

### 3/5 — Great app BUT...........😣😡😔

*2015-11-30, version 38.0*

At first I was glad to find a checkbook register app! I entered my information and balances okay worked great! UNTIL you reached a second page it started freezing so many times it remains stuck unless you force close the app and try again.  But each time you go in the app and need to update a line item on your checkbook.it freezes! You hope that it saved! Nope it didn't I am so frustrated I reached out to Support team and see if they can help, if I get no response I will be moving on to find another checkbook app!!!! Very disappointed!! 😡

### 2/5 — Waste of money

*2022-11-09, version 57.0*

This app is worth less than it takes me the time to make this review! Don’t waste your $0.99

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2015-08-20, version 26.0*

I've tried to write three reviews without success. There are kinks in this app. When trying to log into the web version the back button is disabled. There are no instructions about adding cells to your register. Disappointed

### 2/5 — Upside down

*2015-07-24, version 24.0*

When the app opens... It opens upside down. So annoying!

### 2/5 — Very Basic App

*2015-04-04, version 21.0*

This is a VERY basic app that looks just like a checkbook register on the screen.  The functionality is not sophisticated at all & the screen does not have the look of an app that costs $1.99. If I would have had an opportunity to "GET" the app to see how it worked, I would NOT have purchased it.  When entering credit or debit items, you have to input the +/- yourself.  You also have to select the numeric function on thee iPhone keyboard to enter all numeric values such as date, debit/credit amounts. In my opinion, that should be automatic.  The design does not allow very much space to enter details of the transaction either.  It also only has 4 sheets for input & I am not sure what one is to do once those are used. There is not even an area to communicate with the Developer!  I really took a chance on purchasing this app & I REALLY wanted it to be a simple, yet functional app...it is in a most manual process which is too labor intensive for my tastes.  It lacks the technological savvy of an app for iPhone. At the end of the day, I will probably use the app because I DO NOT like to waste money; however, given what I see & how it functions, I wish I could receive a refund.  I really wish the Developer would have put more thought into creating the app.
