### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2026-08-17, version 3.1.1*

Thank you for the latest update! Everything is working perfectly now, and the issues I was experiencing have been completely fixed. I really appreciate how quickly you addressed the problem. I love this app and will happily give it 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-14*

I’ve loved this app and have always had a great experience with it. However, after the latest update, it has become a little buggy and sometimes shows a blank screen. I hope this can be fixed soon. Despite the issue, I still really love the app and give it 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — I would like a little bit more, but while looking at my register and sliding it down I lost it

*2026-08-07, version 3.0.2*

I love the way the register is, and I can just put it in, but I was looking at my register. I moved my finger down the page. 1/2 just  disappeared.
I have no idea where it went. Can’t find it. Don’t remember what was on it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-08-06, version 3.0.2*

I was this app to balance against my bank and to note upcoming drafts. Love it

### 2/5 — Lost all dat x2

*2026-08-05, version 3.0.2*

I really liked this app so much that when it lost the data the 1st time (I was informed it should be a one time error that was fixed) I opted to start over.  Now months later I have lost  everything again. Sadly time to move on 🥺

### 5/5 — The Checkbook

*2026-08-01, version 3.0.2*

Absolutely the best checkbook in the App Store! Very easy to use with no ads or subscription fees! Syncs across devices with iCloud. Love using this App for my checkbook finances! Highly recommended!!

### 4/5 — The best I have found

*2026-07-08, version 3.0.2*

I have only been using this app a few months, but I am delighted with how simple it is without all the complications of a fancy app that wants to control my finances, my investments, and my life. This is a simple check register which is what I wanted.

### 5/5 — Budget

*2026-07-06, version 3.0.2*

I have been checking out apps that have a budget in them but still have not found any better than this app.  I wish you had a budget that would take the amount out of my checks and keep track of spending and add to what’s left the next week

### 5/5 — This is the one!

*2026-07-01, version 3.0.2*

I have searched far and wide for a Checkbook app and have tried many!  This is the one!  Simple to use with the basic functions you need plus a little more!  The only thing I wish is there was a way to “end” Recurring transactions.  Then this app would be perfect!!

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-06-19, version 3.0.2*

I recently purchased this  app and at this time it has been great. I do suggest different colors for income or deposits of funds.  Not white. Another issue, if you're looking for something paid you have a lot to search through and it takes a bit of time to locate it.  One other  tweak is that it is so easy to accidentally delete what you input and that's kind of scary so I wish it would say do you want to delete this or something like that. Most apps to have this option. Otherwise, I love the app. These tweaks would make it extremely exceptional!
