### 3/5 — It’s a GREAT APP BUT ITS MISSING SOMETHING!!!!!!

*2021-06-09, version 1.1.1*

It’s a GREAT app but it’s missing something!!!!! Here’s what it’s missing. There needs to be a way to be able to go back say a month and see what your balance was a month ago!!!!! Please,try to fix this!!!!

### 5/5 — A great, simple, checkbook

*2020-06-06, version 1.1.1*

Personally, I don’t need much to track my daily finances and this app lets me track those things in an easy, non-obtrusive way. The app just tracks what you put in and take out, simple as that. I’d say this is a great app for learning how to balance your finances or if you have easy finances to track in general. Really glad they updated this to work on new phones.

### 5/5 — After about 5 yrs of use, still great app

*2019-10-13, version 1.0.3*

I thought I'd written a review before, but apparently I haven't.  I downloaded this back when it was first out and free. I've never had crash problems. 

What I like most about it, I'm not limited to just keeping tabs on my checking and savings accounts.  I also can keep record of balances on all my gift cards and Amazon balance. That is, what I earn after cashouts from survey and points-earning websites. 

Right now I'm still using iOS 10 on my iPhone 5S, fearing update to newer iOS due to losing so many of my favorite apps not compatible beyond iOS 10. I'm glad this app, while it still supports iOS 10, will also be compatible for the day I do have to upgrade to a newer phone (and iOS).

### 1/5 — App for iPhone only

*2019-05-14, version 1.0.3*

Suppose to be compatible to iPad also. Couldn’t find a way to switch from iPhone display to iPad display. Deleted app.  Gave up the cost.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!

*2018-11-18, version 1.0.3*

Terrible app, wish I had looked more closely. Very old app with no updates and it freezes.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2017-11-19, version 1.0.3*

Do not buy. I bought it and it only adds even when you hit spend. Had it for about 10 min and deleted. I do not want to be charge. Developer please refund my money please.

### 5/5 — The BEST!!!

*2017-09-06, version 1.0.3*

Simple and easy to use. Gives you exactly what you need to know. Five Stars +

Wish they would do it for the iPad and sync them!  Total winner!!!

### 5/5 — EXACTLY what I was looking for!

*2017-01-28, version 1.0.3*

Browsed the app site multiple times, downloaded over 10 different check register apps, and didn't like any of them. They all had too much for what I needed. 

I wanted a simple app that I could quickly add transactions too. All these others had too many steps needed to place a simple transaction. 

I didn't need different categories to place each transaction into(too time consuming), or graphs showing my spending habits, or any others nonsense.

Finally I found this app and I love it! I had previously used the app, Balance, but it doesn't work with the new iOS updates. This app in my opinion is all anyone would need to make quick transactions to keep up with their spending.

Five stars to the creator! Keep it just the way it is with future updates! Simple, yet efficient! 

Anyone looking for a check register app should get this one! You won't be disappointed.

**Also, I'm a little OCD about names/pictures of apps. This name/picture combo fits the bill perfectly!

### 5/5 — Thank You!

*2014-09-26, version 1.0.3*

Passcode working again. What I like most about this app is I can manage multiple accounts. The perfect checkbook.

### 5/5 — My Checkbook

*2014-04-21, version 1.0.2*

A great app to go paperless and mobile with my check book. Really easy to use and understand. I was doing my checkbook with Microsoft excel on my laptop but I didn't like having to load up my laptop just to do my checkbook and I didn't like not being able to check my checkbook when I wasn't home to have my laptop for it. This fixes that problem. This app can only get better with more features. Biggest thing it needs is a way to back up your accounts you make on the app so you can get it back if you switch devices or accidentally loose your data. But I totally recommend this app to anyone!
