*2025-02-23*

App had an update to fix bugs. After 1st update didn’t open at all.  App had a 2nd update and app would open but all information was deleted. It will not let you add any information.

### 1/5 — Update Issues

*2024-10-19*

I have used this app for a couple of years with great results. But the other day there was an update, now it keeps telling me there is an update available and takes me to the App Store and won’t update or open!!! Ugh!!!!

### 1/5 — Not working

When you log on it says new version available check for updates. Click the update button and takes you to the same app.

### 1/5 — Update not good

*2022-11-18*

I quit using and deleted it. It was fine and simple the way it was. It is now overly complicated.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2024-02-23*

Way to many ad pop-ups!  I love this app but the ad pop ups are random and way too many in a session!

### 5/5 — trip saver! exactly what I wanted

*2025-02-09*

I love this app. I travel at least twice a year to my family, and I spend money there. I keep track of it in the Checkbook and I keep a running total (as my limit goal). I always know where my money is so I can easily balance my checkbook. I love it. It’s exactly what I was wanting and it just keeps getting better.

### 5/5 — Tracking spending

*2023-12-27*

I started using this app to budget my trip spending. But it's been so useful that I use it to keep track of all my spending. It is a great tool to help keep my budget on track. Thanks for this app! (even with the ads). This app does exactly what I expected it to.

### 5/5 — Checkbook ledger

*2022-11-15*

Very easy to use

### 5/5 — The checkbook

*2022-11-05*

Love this app just wish there was a psswrd for it to open

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2022-12-10*

Had to find a new app when I transitioned from a Google phone to an iPhone. This seems to be a good one although when I first downloaded it, it had a running balance option which I really need back.also, I do not like the bar across the top when I go into my checking account that shows I have a negative balance because I spent more this month than I made. That is of no help to me whatsoever. It makes me screwed up about what my balance actually is because it does not take into account. What was already in the account.

### 3/5 — Recent Update Problem

*2024-10-17*

I have been using this app for a long time. I have it set to automatically update. When it updated last night, something went wrong. When I open the app, it says to go to App Store to update, but when I go to the App Store it says it is updated. Please fix this asap!!

### 3/5 — H. White

*2022-10-03*

WhiteI would like to see a "No Adds" option. I would then give your app 5 stars

### 2/5 — Can’t use decimal points

*2023-07-29*

App works great and easy to use. Problem is everything rounds up to nearest dollar. Can’t put decimal points. Makes no sense. Put in $10.25 and the .25 disappears

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We've heard you, and the latest update now supports decimal points. Update the app to enjoy the enhanced functionality!

### 2/5 — Recurring don’t work

*2023-01-05*

Can’t seem to get it to post the amount on account.
