Very limited functionality
A very simple income & expenses system only that could be easily built in Excel or Number, there is no balance sheet (even a limited one) element and no ability to run bank reconciliations or do any other basic tasks.
Last update ?
Can’t edit or input recurring expenses
Pretty good for freelancers
I am self employed and have been looking for an alternative to the monthly subscription accounting softwares. This is just what I needed! All it needs is CSV import. Please add CSV import and it would be perfect!
Manage Repeating Transactions - not working
Updating my original review from 2 years ago: 09/20/24: the Manage Repeating Transaction STILL does not work at all. 3 stars
Original 4 star review from 2022:
iMac Studio Max M1
When I try to create a repeating transaction:
1. A name is required, but it only lets you key in one letter at a time.
2. The amount defaults to 25,000 pounds, but you can change it. Not sure why it defaults to pounds when my book is setup as dollars. When you click on the amount or use the keypad or use the keypad in the amount, nothing works to change the amount.
I just keyed in 24 recurring transactions manually so I was excited when I found this feature...but it doesn't work. :(

Thank you for your feedback. Apple are in charge of asking you when to review, it looks like they have been a little hasty there! Hopefully when you've had more time to get to grips with Microbooks we might earn that fifth star. All the best, David.
Awesome
So many (all?) ‘bigger’ apps have completely lost sight of:
Income and source
Expenses categorised
Mileage linked to above
An accountant-useable report
This does all that’s necessary for a small freelance type business. Absolutely awesomely thought through, coded and executed. Well done developer.

Great Book Keeping App
This is so easy to use and the support is brilliant …..they are responsive and you can submit requests for additional features which is great this means they are constantly developing it 👌
Just Started
Very easy to use. But could do without the nags to review, especially after I'd already given it a number of stars.
annoying
rate this app non stop annoying!!!!!!
Just downloaded and setting up
Only just downloaded and starting to set up. The software keeps shutting down without warning. Not sure why - not sure if this is going to be an ongoing issue. The app itself appears to be good, easy to set up and use (when not shutting down) - so reserving judgement for now. 2 stars at the moment due to the continual restarts ...

Makes book keeping a pleasure !
This is so easy to use and very powerful.
I now enter my costs with Receipt sense, so easy. Scans the invoice or receipt and enters the amount date and description for me, I just enter my catagory and its done.
Drilling down is so easy to find specific entries is a breeze.
Gives me my profit and Costs as the year progresses. Highly reccommend .

ReceiptSense
I have had Microbooks for a while and love it. I have been looking at Receipt sense for a while and thought I would give it a go.
Now I wonder why I waited as it is superb! ReceiptSense scans my receipts and makes data entry even easier, even scans till receipts and enters the totals and date purchased. Then you end up with a copy to look back on

pretty good so far
It was prompting me for a review on my first transaction entry...a little early for a review - but looks good so far (only 2 entries made - but very easy and straightforward.) Once I log everything in (1.5 years worth) I'll update my review.
