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. ### 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 🥺 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Nothing happened *2026-05-15, version 3.0.2* I just purchased app but all I’m looking at is a blank screen ### 4/5 — Running balance too faint to see *2026-05-15, version 3.0.2* I have been using this app for more than one year. Either allow a user setting of display +ve balance in green or a prominent color/font ### 4/5 — Great App *2026-05-09, version 3.0.2* This app is perfect for me. I just want to keep track of several accounts on both phone and computer. Don’t need “bells and whistles.” Has Face ID, iCloud and simple layout. It works. Wish it would open to all accounts rather than to one of the accounts. Does not seem to be a way to fix this in Settings. ### 3/5 — Missing a recurring payment frequency *2026-05-01, version 3.0.2* Purchased this before I discovered that there isn’t a “every 4 weeks” recurring frequency. Not a bad program otherwise. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-02-11, version 3.0.2* This app is so simple and I use it every day. I can balance my accounts wherever I am. It’s so convenient. I highly recommend it. ### 4/5 — Nice Design *2026-02-07, version 3.0.2* I really like the look of this app and the ease of use. Two things I am looking for in a checkbook app is a 3 month look ahead (this app can do 1 month) and a way to make a transaction recurring from the enter a transaction screen. ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-02-06, version 3.0.2* Easy to use. ### 2/5 — Names of accounts *2026-01-15, version 3.0.2* Still a problem with the number of characters/spaces for account names. Also it would be nice to be able to select the currency symbol for each account (ex, one account in USD, another in EUR, MEX, CAN, etc). ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-01-03, version 3.0.2* Liking the app. Would like to be able to do a report on all accounts. Right now it’s limited to only one account. Can’t get a complete report of all expenses. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2025-12-14, version 3.0.2* The Checkbook is easy to use ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-12-04, version 3.0.2* Great App! Helps me keep income and payments straight and works very well for my needs! ### 5/5 — Great convenient check register *2025-12-03, version 3.0.2* Great replacement for the old paper checkbook register. If you enter all your spending it is a great way to see your balance and where your money went. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-11-22, version 3.0.2* Love this, it does everything I need it to do ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-09-30, version 3.0.2* The only way to add transactions via e-mail is by mail (Apple mail app) I use Spark (Third-party E-mail app). Can you make compatible with it? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i was a huge fan… WAS *2025-12-10, version 3.0.2* this morning my app was fine. everything was the same as i left it yesterday, and the day before, etc., etc. this evening, all of it was gone. months and months of transactions—all gone. despite having the icloud backup option checked, and a backup having been made two days ago, restoring the backup restored nothing at all. so i’m screwed. it’s all gone. initially i had loved this app because it provided many things my previous check register app lacked. but now none of that matters, because my trust in this app is ruined. so tomorrow i’ll begin the aggravating process of finding a different check register app, which will hopefully be more trustworthy than this one is ### 1/5 — Lost everything *2025-10-03, version 3.0.2* Everything disappeared overnight. I had it saved to my iCloud and everything is gone!! ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-10-02, version 3.0.2* My account got wiped out, yesterday it was all there, today it’s all gone? ### 1/5 — Loved it until…… *2025-09-07, version 3.0.0* All my transactions are wiped out. I even did a total backup on my phone and Nothing. I really relied on this app and now I have to try to fix this….looking for an app that backs up your data! ### 1/5 — Iphone size screen on a ipad *2025-05-31, version 2.3.2* Just purchased this after doing search for iphone/Ipad compatible register, VERY DISSAPOINTED that screen on ipad IS SAME SIZE AS A IPHONE. Also will not use iCloud sync I use Ipad more. Wasted Money ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2025-05-12, version 2.3.2* Software worked fine for a couple months. Then crashed. Lost half of my data. It will take me hours if not days to figure out everything. I’m deleting this now. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2025-01-11, version 2.0.7* App Store said $4.99 these thieves charged $9.65 ### 1/5 — From 4 stars to 0 stars *2025-01-09, version 2.0.7* It was working fine until about a week ago, then it started giving incorrect information and nothing I did fixed it, I even deleted and reinstalled, nothing. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2024-12-20, version 2.0.7* I sure didn’t like this checkbook. Not friendly at all, way too basic! ### 1/5 — Terrible App! *2024-11-20, version 2.0.3* I was excited to start using this app and found it to be completely inadequate. Cannot add a deposit and can only enter a withdrawal. Also there is no way to reconcile like you would do in a checkbook. This was a waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 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 ### 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!! ### 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! ### 5/5 — User friendly ! *2026-04-12, version 3.0.2* Love this app, get it- it is reliable and straight forward ### 5/5 — UPDATE *2026-03-11, version 3.0.2* I had a previous app that I preferred . I’ve gotten used to the format and it does what I need. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-02-26, version 3.0.2* This app is easy to use. I would give it 5 stars if I could generate a report under the categories. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
