I can’t see cleared balances without clicking on each individual account. The transfer doesn’t work. The autofill f/ memory isn’t working well. I can’t edit account names. I can’t make budget reports. There’s more I need it to do, but I can’t look while I’m editing this review. Pocket money in my old Android had been perfect but they upgraded that and then it didn’t work for my needs on Android or in iPhone. I’m still looking for something to help me keep better track of my debt & balances. GreenBooks is basically a checkbook ledger and I’m very frustrated with the amount of things I can’t edit once created. *End Edit* I had an old version of Pocket Money, a different bookkeeping app, on Android. Originally had on iPhone but switched to Android & now I’m on iPhone again. That app no longer has the functions it used to & I can’t find help for the version I had in my now old phone. GreenBooks on iPhone has ability to have more than one account, split categories in a transaction, scheduled repeated recurring transactions, and shows my cleared balance & my balance of the total of transactions that have posted. So far, it’s the closest app I’ve found with features I need. And I’ve liked at many! Not 5 stars tho because lacking several features I had become accustomed to: I wish it showed (swiping between) current balance, cleared balance (it shows this), available credit, available funds, & future balance (it shows the balance of all payments posted not cleared & not the scheduled repeating transactions I have yet to post). I wish the app had the ability to input more credit card info: the interest rate, the statement cycle/closing date, the institution, the phone & website, the credit limit, the exp date, the account #, & fees possible (over limit, late payment, annual, etc), in the credit card accounts. I wish all accounts listed had an option to include or not to include them in “total worth”. It would be nice if the app had another feature for budgeting to create a budget, and then when running reports or I guess it works be called viewing the breakdown of where my money went, I would be able to see how my income and expenses compared to my planned budget. So far it’s the closet I’ve come to having all the features I need. I can add checking, savings, credit, and cash accounts. I can create my own & multiple categories. One transaction can have split categories. I can schedule recurring transactions. It shows cleared balance and total balance of everything posted. It so back up to iCloud. It has an option for a passcode. It’s off to a great start! ### 2/5 — What am I paying for? *2026-04-14* I’m not thrilled that I spent $35 on this app plus the $10 unlimited license. It does not link up with every account or display transactions from before the current pay cycle, so it’s difficult to gauge your average spending. App on Mac has a lot of issues like not displaying full sentences, not being able to fully delete or unlink previously linked accounts, etc. Not worth the cost. ### 4/5 — Does what l need! *2026-02-28, version 3.6.1* Lost my computer and needed a new app. Found this one, easy to use once you get into it, works well enough. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Worthy of your consideration. *2025-11-22, version 3.6.1* Update November 22. The app still works great but when using the app on an iPad (no iPad native application) and you have split transactions, you can’t enter all of the data. . Update August 22. I didn’t reach the free 100 limit but I went ahead and purchased the iOS version any way. Well thought out app that’s easy to use. IOS version does not have a search function and there are no breakdown charts (you need the Mac app for these). IOS version on iPad is the small iPhone display; it works fine but full iPad support would be better. There are some helpful startup videos to guide you. Other support is not known. I sent an email with a pre purchase question that I did not receive a reply for after 3 weeks. MacOS version has the much desired Search, Breakdown chart, and trends. ( I can’t comment on the trends because i am a new user with no older data to display) Syncing between devices is quick and accurate. The apps are one time purchases, not subscription based which is good for you the consumer. I purchased the Mac app but not the iOS app yet. In conclusion I am confident in saying that this is a worthwhile purchase to see where your money goes. ### 4/5 — Worthy of your consideration. *2025-11-19, version 3.6.1* Update November 19. The app still works great but when using the app on an iPad and you have split transactions, you can’t enter all of the data; strangely, it works as expected when using iPhone. Update August 22.

After looking closer at this app i find it certainly does do yearly transactions just by the month instead ### 5/5 — Simple to use *2025-10-29* Great simple checkbook manager. Really like the simplicity of it syncing between devices. Couple others I have used this never worked. One improvement, make it so you can show pending charges in the book. Then mark cleared when they do. So true available balance is known. ### 5/5 — Accountant *2025-09-23, version 3.6.1* I absolutely love this app ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-06, version 3.6.1* The app is simple, straightforward, and easy to use. Best part is it syncs between devices. ### 4/5 — Worthy of your consideration. *2025-08-22, version 3.6.1* Update August 22. I didn’t reach the free 100 limit but I went ahead and purchased the iOS version any way. Well thought out app that’s easy to use.

In conclusion I am confident in saying that this is a worthwhile purchase to see where your money goes. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-06* Easy to use. Syncing flawlessly. Simple app to use everyday for expenses. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2025-06-26* The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because it doesn’t have the ability to reorder transactions. If I make multiple transactions on the same day, I can’t move them around to make them chronological (this makes the running balance wrong). That and adding crypto support or at least manual currency edit/adding (even within the same account) would be perfect ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-03-25, version 3.6* Been using it for years and I have to say that it’s one of the best management app available. ### 5/5 — Simple is better *2025-03-12, version 3.6* Connection to external accounts is reliable. User interface is simple. iCloud sync seems to be reliable as well. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-03-02, version 3.6* Does everything we need it to do. ### 5/5 — Easy expense tracker *2025-02-28* This is an efficient and easy to use money flow app. The only suggestion would be to add customisable time frames for breakdown reports, or at least last month, last six months. ### 5/5 — Great app to keep track of purchases *2025-02-20, version 3.6* I’ve used the greenbook app for a few years. I really like it and it helps me to keep track of my spending. I definitely recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not compatible with Capital One *2025-06-22, version 3.6.1* I just canceled my Setapp subscription because GreenBooks won’t connect with my Capital One account. ### 1/5 — Too small *2025-02-07* Haven’t been able to make viewing easier as I am visually impaired. Lots of white space to do it. ### 1/5 — Not resdy for prime time *2024-07-28, version 3.6* App stinks ### 1/5 — Search function? *2024-02-10, version 3.6* I can’t seem to find a search function. Without that, the app is not a good fit for me. ### 1/5 — Don’t like it, might as well just setup spreadsheet *2024-01-23, version 3.6* Want refund ### 1/5 — 100 transactions only *2023-03-22, version 3.5.1* Be aware this app only give you free 100 transactions then you have to buy full version. They should clearly state this so I don’t waste my time. ### 1/5 — Australia isn’t in your connections *2022-02-28* It make’s it difficult when you can’t access your bank accounts ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2017-08-27, version 1.3.2* IPad and iPhone apps are not anywhere near what the Mac app is. Not really cross compatible. Don't waste your money like I did. ### 1/5 — Worthless - Don't waste your time or money *2016-07-26, version 1.3* This app keeps miscalculating the totals. What the app said I had in my account was always different than what my bank showed. I finally calculated everything myself and even put everything in excel to calculate to find out if it was the app or the bank that was causing this error. It was the app. Luckily I didn't overdraft my account due to this pathetic excuse for an app. Scam artist! You don't deserve my money. ### 2/5 — Direct connect unreliable wonky *2026-06-15* Constantly reconnecting to Direct Connect and does not update values as promised. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-01, version 3.6.2* I love this little app😎 ### 5/5 — Optimal *2026-04-18, version 3.6.2* Been using this app since it was known as Savings. Has everything you need and nothing you don't. ### 5/5 — Worthy of your consideration. *2026-04-18* Update November 22.

Through visualizing my spending with the easy to use diagrams. And I’m putting spending through the wonderfully simple UX, which syncs through iCloud, i’m able to log expenses on the spot, increasing awareness of my spending. I highly recommend this app. It has a perfect amount of features and doesn’t add superfluous trinkets. I personally enjoy the fact that I don’t have to sync my accounts as I enjoy logging each thing myself. Additionally, I grabbed screenshots of my spending categories every month and utilize Gemini to help me analyze my budget. Thank you so much for such a wonderful! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-17* I’ve been using checkbook. It didn’t have the ability to split categories in the transaction. GreenBooks has this feature. So far, I’m loving it. It will definitely help me track my spending in Walmart (so many categories on one receipt). I didn’t need all of the bells and whistles with the bigger bookkeeping applications. Just a check register that splits categories of each transaction. After using the free version for a week or two, I purchased the unlimited version. Not had any issues. It does exactly what I expect. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Well pleased *2026-02-07* Found this app by chance, so easy to use, love the iCloud facility. ### 5/5 — Best bang for your buck *2026-02-06* I have checked into several other simple personal money managers over the last couple of years. GreenBooks is the best for this purpose for my family. Only complaint would be not able to edit the list of Payee’s to Add, Change, or Delete like you can with the Categories. Mentioned this 2 years ago and recently again last week with no response ever! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-05, version 3.6.1* The app is simple, straightforward, and easy to use. Best part is it syncs between devices. But I wish the iPhone app had a search feature like the laptop version. ### 5/5 — 5* *2025-12-06* Does what is says on the tin…. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
