### 5/5 — Great mobile app!

*2026-04-18*

I can finally keep track of my personal finances in a true double-entry bookkeeping fashion from anywhere! Excellent for accounting and tech-savvy individuals looking for a mobile-friendly, synced method to maintain personal finances using a full chart of accounts, going beyond just budgeting or expense report tracking like so many other apps. The app already has a great amount of functionality behind it. I'm excited to see how the app evolves.

### 4/5 — Create sub accounts

*2025-11-13*

Been really liking this app but no way to create subaccounts

**Developer response:** Hi Edgar, my apologies for the late reply. You can create sub accounts by swiping right on the parent account. I will work on a better way to create sub accounts. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Nearly better than the Desktop!

*2025-11-11*

Amazing app. Nearly better than the original desktop version. At least much nicer UI.

Supports multi splits, multi currency and the best: sync with desktop file. No need for clumsy manual QIF exports.

Great job by the author.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your warm words.
