Balance My Checkbook

I’ve had this app for a little less than a month now. I upgraded the get all the features except sync, which I don’t need. I like it a lot & has helped me quickly keep track of my checking account balance with just a few clicks. I’m finding though that the scheduling feature leaves a little something to be desired. I have a lot of recurring payments. I find it easier that way to pay certain bills/credit cards. While I’m able to schedule them in here for recurring transactions, there is no flexibility to it. I modified one of my payments to be on a different date with my cc company, but could not find a way to modify the recurring transaction in this app. I wish it worked more like a recurring appointment in my Outlook calendar. Also, when I look at the upcoming scheduled transactions, it’s in weird order & I cannot change it. Why are next month’s recurring scheduled transactions listed before the rest of this month’s scheduled recurring transactions? I wish this part could be improved. Otherwise, I’m happy with it. I had stopped balancing my checkbook for nearly 3 years because I just didn’t have the time. This has made it sooo much easier. Now, if they could fix the issues with the scheduled transactions, it would be perfect!

Update: I've used this app for years, paid version but not the sync subscription version. The main complaint I have is when transferring money between accounts, it takes 2 separate entries. For example, if I transfer $25 from Checking to Savings, I first have to go to Checking and deduct $25. Then I have to go to Savings and add $25. This operation should be combined into one. I've contacted developer several times and was told it would happen at some point but I first brought it up years ago and still nothing. I'm dropping one star for that. I think it's still a great app and I continue to use it until I find something better. It would also be nice to sync from phone to iPad but not worth the current subscription price. Prior review: This is one of the best checkbook apps out there. Simple to use with multiple accounts and the developer always responds to feature requests. It's all I use.

I am disabled and have sever arthritis in my hands. I have been using this app for several years and loved it. Hand writing a check book register is difficult. I paid for the upgraded bundle to get all the features. I faithfully back up my data for this app monthly to my e-mail. When I recently had to restore my data to the app from my recent back up data, the transaction names where missing. This means I have to retype each transaction name again, where in the past just entering the first letter of the transaction name “S” and “Safeway” would populate. When you have many different transaction names you have entered in the past, having the name populate is a handy feature. I tried to restore the data from an older back up and same result happened. I’m thankful the actual transaction data is there, but all the years of transaction names won’t populate anymore. I also tried the same back up on a different device resulting in the same outcome. I would have given it 5 stars if not for this issue. Hopefully support for this app can provide a fix solution. But by other reviews, it appears developer does not respond all the time. Thanks for listening.

I have been using this app for quite some time now & for the most part it works great. However, the calculations after awhile end up not correct. I compare my Balance with the bank & keep track of every little bit that comes in & out via both Balance check & my bank (I have had someone get a hold of my banking information before) so I am very diligent about it. However, the balance I have on Balance Check is higher than what I have in the bank & yes I went through every single transaction between the two & verified that I did not miss anything & all my transactions match with the bank transactions & yet my Balance Check is higher by at least $20 or more & no my bank’s calculations are not incorrect. I have also clicked on recalculate & it it just comes back that all calculations are correct.

I was so happy to find a simple, easy to use app that would help me balance my checkbook, manage any other accounts I entered, and whatever debit/credit type I wanted. I've even entered all my different gift cards in the accounts section to track the balance remaining without having to keep calling the balance inquiry 800 number! It's certainly worth purchasing the upgrades! This is more than balancing a checkbook. I can have it automatically deduct recurring payments in my "register" at specific dates. This helps track amounts deducted through my bills' automatic payments. Feedback and bug reports/problems are welcomed and always addressed quickly. So simple!
