Checkbook Pro

I've used this app for five years. Have also downloaded and tested several others during this time. Easy to use, in fact one of the best I have found for a check book ledger. Paid version allows setting up multiple accounts to use in multiple ways (an acct to store passwords, another to log cards and membership numbers...). I would rate a FIVE, if it also offered: 1) ability to sort any column (by payee, date, amount). Just to alphabetized would be a GREAT benefit, especially for extra accounts mentioned above. Currently, to alphabetized a "special" account, I assign Dates to each entry. So, since the app sorts only by dates most - recent first, any item beginning with "A" through "G" are dated in 2007 (assigned specific months, then days to keep them alphabetized), and so on... 2) option to have prior amount paid to same payee automatically fill. This will speed entering monthly amounts (I.e mortgage, auto payments) and a good alert if making an unintentional duplicate entry.

I bought this application about five years ago. I upgraded to the pro version, and last year a new version came out that completely re-done the user interface. It added the ability to sync the checkbook between multiple iPhones or iPads. It said that I would not be charged again, however I was. But this application has been such a lifesaver that I did not mind paying the $4.99 again (and five bucks is not worth hassling the developer or iTunes about....unless the app sucked or was rarely used). Now, since the new update, I am a lifetime member because of my loyalty. It is well worth scrapping your paper checkbook register and using this. You will not regret it. You will be able to keep all of your accounts up to date and to the penny. My only complaint is that I have written to the email given in the description and in the application three different times. A couple of times was a couple of years ago regarding questions about problems that I had, which I later solved on my own. Then I emailed about two weeks ago and asked a question and made a request. I have yet to hear back from that one either. Maybe my emails are going to their spam folder and they are just not getting them. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Either way, you really don’t need Customer Service now, because the app takes care of everything.

I love having it conveniently on my iPhone, always with me. I love how it calculates my balance for me, without error! And I love how it remembers my recurring monthly payments and recurring deposits. (I saw where another reviewer said the recurring deposits don't work automatically like the expenses, but in fact it does! There's nothing dysfunctional about this app. I do wish, however, that it would be easier to click any item cleared or uncleared without having to open and edit each one. Makes balancing a much slower process, esp when I have so many! I also love how you can easily send a copy of the whole file to yourself or to your spouse or anyone else. I send a copy to my desktop to open in excel where I can easily resort by payee or by date or by category so that I can print year end reports for taxes. Saves me oodles of time, and a safe and quick way to backup data. Thank you Checkbook App makers!!! However I do wish the exports included the check#s, PLEASE!!!

For the first time in years, the app wants me to log in again, BUT now it doesn’t even recognize my email address user name. So I can’t get into my checkbook—NOT GOOD!! I won’t try to re-download it, because I’m sure that YEARS of financial data entry will be lost, which it may now be anyway. I’m VERY angry about this, especially after the recent previous update was a bomb, with no support system. WHAT’S GOING ON OVER THERE? This one looks like a deal-breaker! UPDATE: I just upgraded my review from a 1 star to a 4. Although this app has been very flaky in recent weeks, including a bad update or two, and not allowing me in for several days this week, it suddenly works again! I have no idea why, but I’m quite relieved. Now all the upgraded features are there as well. Go figure. Hopefully, this app will actually be supported in the future, if necessary. I’ve always loved this app and would like to continue to do so.

Has this app been abandoned? I’ve emailed a few times and the last time was June 2018. I did receive a reply from you that you’re working on updates and it should be ready shortly. There have been no new updates. I have noticed that you are continuously updating your subscription app. The subscription app did not used to be a subscription app; it was a trial app which, I used to use and I decided to go for the pro app. Very ironic that the pro app, which is a one time purchase has been abandoned for the subscription app. I have owned this app for years and I love it. However, it should be updated at least once a year with some added adjustments, such as, the memo section. You should be able to read it and you can’t once you add a little memo. Also, the app for the past two years has cleared automatic payments which it shouldn’t. We should be able to clear it on our own once we see it or we may forget where our funds have gone. It should also back up to the cloud as most other apps do. Otherwise I do love the app. I just feel like it’s been ignored. Are there going to be any updates?
