Balance My Checkbook for Positive User Reviews

Confused!We have used this app in my house for years and absolutely love it. However, I just got a new phone and am trying to sync and just cannot get it to. There is nowhere to reset my password and it keeps telling me it’s wrong. I had to create a new account and used the same email address to create the new one. For some reason, it let me and I am now logged into one of my accounts while my wife is logged into the other. I would love help, but there is no phone number to call or way to figure this out. There should be some sort of customer service to contact!.Version: 2.1.1

Old-fashioned CheckbookThis is a good, simple checkbook app. I tried a lot of different money management apps, and for all their bells and whistles, none could give me the flexibility and planning utility of a basic old-fashioned checkbook and bill plan ledger, and I was still overspending. This lets me put in all of my expenses for a paycheck and clear them as I go, so I can see my real available balance for extraneous spending; I’m managing my money soooooooo much better now that I use this..Version: 1.11.7

One of the most essential apps on my phoneBy far the best checkbook app I’ve ever used. Couldn’t recommend it more. Manual entry (so no requirement to link banking information), dark mode, backups, and many other useful features that the dev(s) have added over time. I’ve used this daily for the past several years and will continue to do so for many more to come! 🙏🏻.Version: 2.8.1

Could Use Improvements For Scheduled TransactionsI’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!.Version: 1.11.5

Great, easy appI’ve used this app for probably a year at least, and I love it. It’s easy to use, allows me to quickly log transactions, and saves my history (so I don’t have to type in the store name every single time). Unfortunately, with the last update, the picture on the icon disappeared, so now all it shows is a white box with a target on it, and the app name underneath. It’s annoying, but doesn’t effect the app at all..Version: 1.11.7

Hands Down The Best Checkbook RegisterI don’t right reviews very much but I have been with this developer in the early stages of development only to see the perfection of where it is today! Huge accomplishment sir with this register along with any other venture you have out there! I like it simple and too the point when I log my several purchases daily to keep my records right! Download it NOW, you won’t be disappointed..Version: 1.11.8

Excellent AppI rarely write reviews, but I felt the need with this one. I have been using this app for more years than I can remember. It has never failed me. This is a simple account ledger app. No awkward linking to bank accounts that really never keep up. Simple. Manual. All I needed or wanted. I paid for the premium app so I could have all the accounts that I wanted. Transferring my data from old phones to new are a breeze every time. Export from one phone and import the file to the new via email and Bob’s your uncle. I wish my bird logging app would take the hint and do the same. But that is another story. This app is top notch. Forget the bells and whistles and just keep track of your money plain and simple. Love this app!.Version: 1.11.8

Fantastic communicationSometimes we forget that there are people putting together these apps. I have had issues with other apps not being compatible with the latest iOS update. When I opened this one, I was pleased that it worked but also, that there was a notice from the developers about how they are handling compatibility issues. Made me happy. 😊Thanks guys!.Version: 2.3.3

Simple and PracticalPerfect for what I needed. I can store multiple accounts in one app. I can also schedule payments to show in my transaction list before it clears. I do need to add that I have the monthly payment option. It’s low cost (IMO) and I believe developers should make some money since they use their skills and talents to create our needed apps. I also don’t like to see ads in my apps (which pays for the developers time and skills) For me, it’s worth it the upgrade..Version: 2.6.2

THE BEST OUT THEREI've tried about 6 of these types of apps. This is the ONLY one that is a simple check register. This is exactly what I wanted, something to simply enter a transaction when I swipe my debit card. That’s it !!! I didn’t want to classify all my transactions. I didn’t want a long process. Just enter the amount. That’s it. This app does exactly that. I’d gladly pay for this simple app, but it’s free. If you’re looking for a simple check register , don’t waste your time with the rest. You found the best !!.Version: 1.11.8

I like the appI 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..Version: 1.11.7

Great product with service to back it upMy family has been using this app for years. It is the best we have found to allow my spouse and I to each enter transactions on our personal apps and immediately have them seen by both of us. It makes sharing an account simple and easy. The times entries, ability to use multiple accounts, and ease of reconciling is exactly what we wanted in an app. I encourage anyone with an issue to reach out to the developer. The one time our app didn’t sync properly, we reached out and had a response and a fix within a day. This is a responsive developer who stands by their product..Version: 2.1.2

Amazingly simple appI never write app reviews but I feel like I should for this app. I’ve been using this for several years and it’s so basic and useful to keep track of all debits and credits manually in your accounts. They just recently updated for the first time in over a year(which an app like this doesn’t need updates really) but I like that they zoomed out the menu and made it look excellent on the newer iPhones. A+ and one of my favorite apps to use..Version: 1.12.8

Been using this app since 2013I have been using this app since 2013. It is simple and user friendly. It does just want I want- to keep track of my available funds and reconcile with the bank as well. We recently signed up for the sync option so my husband can use it as well- I wish I had done this sooner! When he spends, he types it in as he spends it and it syncs automatically on my phone and vice versa. Helps us both make better decisions financially and keep up to date with our funds and savings goals. Wouldn’t change anything. $5 per month for the sync option is well worth it..Version: 1.11.5

Would totally recommendI have been using this app for several months and it had absolutely simplified how I manage my finances. I don't want to rely only on my banking app, because sometimes transactions haven't hit the account yet and then I overspend. This app has allowed me to quit tracking things by hand, and as a result saved me lots of time. Disclaimer- while I frequently back up my data, I have never had to restore it. I cannot speak to that feature of the app..Version: 1.11.8

Use it ReligiouslyIt is so easy to use. I use it every single month to keep track of not only my checkbook, but also my cash flow, my food stamps and my general budget. The fact that you’re allowed to have multiple accounts open at the same time is wonderful. The only thing I don’t like is that I wish that they would have debits before credits listed on the same day. Because it looks like you have bounced checks or that your cash flows off. Get the in app purchases; they are worth it. I very, very, highly recommend this app..Version: 1.11.8

UpdateI love this app and have used it for years! Recent update added Dark Mode support. I use dark mode on my phone but would like to turn it off for this app. Cannot find a way to do that though so that’s a bummer. I’d suggest also making the dollar amount entry automatically add the decimal like most apps do. Also a floating search bar so I don’t have to scroll all the way to the top to search while scrolling through entries. Otherwise great app!.Version: 2.4.0

Almost what I'm looking forBeen using this for over a week. So far it has been perfect for me for keeping up with what I've spent, what's coming up. It helps me know where I am in the month and how much money I'll have until I get paid again. I would like to sync with my wife so we could both see the same info, but I find the $5 per month a little steep to sync with up to 4 devices. I may yet give it a try. Still it's a wonderful app for my needs. I wanted something very simple so I would actually record my transactions on the spot..Version: 1.11.5

The bestThis is the only check book app that has been able to do what I needed / wanted it to do. I wanted an easy way to keep track of my spending. This is better than the one I had on my tablet. As soon as I walk out of a store I enter it in my phone. And verify it later on. It tells me what's uncleared. I like the free app it does what I want it to. I'm iffy on paying more than $3 on a app... I'm hoping for a sale some day. This is the best and easiest free check book app out there..Version: 2.8.8

Great AppI have been using the app for a couple years and it has saved me money not getting charged for NSF fees. I also had my son download the app into his iPhone and it has also saved him from NSF fees by not forgetting debit charges because he didn’t have time to write charges into a checking account register. I plan on getting the advanced features so my wife and I can both update our joint account without having to ask her for receipts all the time. I recommend using this app to anyone having problems with overdraft fees. Just using the free version will be well worth it. I will update the review after using the paid advanced features and let you know how they work..Version: 2.3.3

Great RegisterAn extremely efficient tool for keeping track of bank records. Multiple features. Very easy to use. Perfectly accurate every time. Prompt customer service. Kudos to the developer of Balance My Checkbook!.Version: 1.11.7

Love this appI’ve been using this app a few years now and can’t Live without it , as soon as I make a purchase I deduct it from my check balance using this app , I don’t forget to balance my checkbook anymore and I’m assured the correct balance at all times , as soon as I get paid I add it to my balance,, as well as pay bills , I just deduct as I’m paying , I know how much I can spend and how much I always have , since some bills don’t come out of my checking instantaneously,, I’m assured how much I will have when they do , this app makes my life a lot easier ,, originally I didn’t have to pay for this app ,, just now after a few years I’ve seen the comments in the upgrade versions that they change to a subscription-based app for new users and I didn’t have to worry because I was grandfathered in , the owners say it takes some work to keep Up with the app , get the bugs out , assures it works properly etc, I’m so happy with this app that even though I didn’t have to ,, I subscribed to the $ 1.99 version which is $25 dollars a year ,, it’s well worth it ,, and I hope this app continues to provide me this service ,,, thank you to the owners.Version: 2.4.0

Excellent Checkbook app for the most part.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..Version: 1.11.7

Great app!!I’ve been using this app for several years now. I started out with the free version but upgraded a couple of years ago because I wanted more features. It really is great to have my bank balance on my phone instead of having to manually write everything down on a check register and keep up with a paper checkbook because it’s very rare that I ever write out a personal check these days. I highly recommend this app!!.Version: 2.3.3

Best checkbook ledger I’ve foundI’ve used this app for several years. I can’t do without it. I recently got a new iPhone and had “operator error”. Tech support was marvelous and got me fixed with clear instructions. This app is actually trouble-free. I completely rely on it as I keep no paper ledger. My only suggestion is that it would be nice to view in landscape mode on my iPad Pro. I am able to view only in portrait mode unless there’s something I can do that I don’t know about. At any rate this app is indispensable. Thank you for offering it at such an affordable price without charging a monthly subscription. That is much appreciated. Update…much later than original review: Thanks for landscape mode on the iPad! I am still relying on this wonderful app and use it several times daily..Version: 2.4.1

Just what we were looking forThis app is just what my wife and I were looking for. We’re are able to view the checkbook in real-time on both of our devices. The reoccurring transaction are not envelopes that need to be refilled every month when that monthly budget cycle is over and can be set for a variety of payment cycles. It does conveniently add the reoccurring transaction to your register on its due date. A great reminder to pay the bill if it’s not an auto-pay payment. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is the interface. Once you get use to how the interface is formatted it’s fine but could be much better. Well worth $5 a month..Version: 2.6.7

4.5 STARSOnly app that I have ever found that is just the right amount of simple! Works like a basic check register to quickly enter all your debit card purchases so you do not over draw your account and at the same time you can enter all your reoccurring charges (even if the amount changes a little each month-put a rounded amount and adj when you know the exact amt). And balancing your statement couldn’t be easier. The only thing I could see some people might like is the ability to print a balanced statement report but I’m perfectly happy and have found nothing else out there that is this easy to use..Version: 1.11.8

Saved me from NSF fees!!I really really like this register.. for once, I have not been accumulating NSF fees because I can always look to see what is in my balance instead of "assuming" what the balance off of my head. However, I learned in the hard way to either pay the 4.99 monthly fee for syncing or remember to back up the register every couple of weeks. I lost my phone and everything was wiped gone from the check balance register and I didn't back the register to email, print ever. My heart fell when this happened. I signed up the $4.99 month program so this doesn't happen again..Version: 1.11.5

Life changer after “pocket money”I absolutely love this app. I was a huge fan of “pocket money” and had it for over 10 years, but when I updated my phone recently it was no longer compatible and the developer had passed away unfortunately. This app really has been a life saver replacement. I searched high and low for one. It’s super simple expense register format. Just what I needed. 10/10 would recommend!.Version: 2.3.3

Great appI just recently started using this app. I keep a paper check register at home… this is so handy. I enter transactions immediately & never have to worry about math errors. I have entered all my recurring payments. I only have one suggestion. In the recurring transactions, there should be the option to choose every 6 months. Several of my important bills are on a 6 month payment plan. Thank you for your consideration & for a great app!!.Version: 2.6.7

Recurring schedule, balance problemsI love this app that’s why I gave you five stars but the schedule payments I have coming out every month that I have in the section to automatically go into the balance portion sometimes takes two and three days for them to show up. I was wondering if you guys could check on that to maybe make it faster thank you have a good day. I use this app every day to help me balance my checkbook is a great way to help with not going over my limit..Version: 2.6.7

I love this app!I’m 72 yrs old, so I’m used to a checkbook register. I set this up like that for me. As soon as I pay a bill online, I can immediately enter it on my checking app. I love being able to click this app & see my balance without having to carry a checkbook in my purse or take up space in the desk. Because I’m always on my phone or iPad, that info is locked from other eyes. Technology is a wonderful thing!.Version: 2.3.2

Most Useful App I HaveIf I could give this app 10 stars I would. I’ve been using this for several years and it is by far the most useful app I have ever had. If you are at all interested in keeping track of your money you need to have this app, and it isn’t at all complicated. An added bonus is the user support, I did have an issue a couple of years ago, and the app developer was as helpful as he could be in helping me to resolve the issues..Version: 1.11.8

Love!I love this app. It’s quick and easy to enter transactions on the spot. I also love that you can search for key words or amounts- and that includes anything you put in the “notes” section. I should say, I got the paid version a while ago and I’m not sure of the difference between the free and paid versions anymore, but I LOVE the paid version. This app also makes it easier for me to budget for different things. I can input a transaction and not mark it as “cleared”, and the app tells me how much I have that is ACTUALLY available (which would match my account balance) as well as the amount left once everything I’ve entered has cleared. One suggestion I do have- I wish there was a way to add my husband so we could both see and enter transactions on the same account ledgers. Other than that, it’s great!.Version: 1.11.8

KarenI love this app. I have used it for years. People have seen me using it (I put a debit in when I am making payment at the store etc) and have asked what it was and taken down the info to get it. I have went back later and they have thanked me for the info as they are now using it and love it! My suggestion for an improvement (and maybe it’s here and I’m missing it) is to have an automatic backup function. I also am wondering how I delete an account I closed?.Version: 1.11.8

We’re really happyWe’ve had this app more than five years. All of our accounts - debit, savings, and credit - are here. it allows both hubby and wife to have instant and sync’ed info about our accounts. It’s not super fancy. It still requires one of us to “clear” transactions at the bank, it doesn’t pull in data, so you have to do the work/you’re in control. It’s a family business, I take it, that designed and supports this thing, and I will happy keep the monthly subscription as long as the app is supported - it’s not too fancy, it isn’t invasive, and it exceeds our needs..Version: 2.3.3

CheckI love this easy simply check transaction app..Version: 1.2.0

Basic check register appI bought this app after using Accounts 2 for many years. The only reason I switched is so my husband and I could update the register in real time and both keep track of our joint checkbook. It works fine but I wish it had a spot to enter a check number when writing checks. I also wish I could just click on a tab and see pie charts on expense vs. income. It would also be nice to just click on the entries as they clear vs. having to open each one up and slide a box..Version: 2.3.3

Love this appI am disappointed to see others using the rating feature in iTunes to report issues, instead of the support feature in the app. I’ve been using this app for several years, probably since its inception. Every issue I have ever reported has been responded to timely and resolved by the developer. I have even made feature suggestions that were added later in app updates. Please don’t let the negative reviews deter you from trying this app. It’s AMAZING 🤩 and so is the developer. He definitely cares about his users, unlike other apps I have tried..Version: 2.0.2

So far this is excellentI have been looking for an app that would replace the checkbook register and help me keep track of my spending. I like this one very much. It is intuitive and easy to use. I particularly appreciate the fact that it shows the balance with every transaction. I have been using it less than a month and want to see what several months worth of used does for my rating. So far this is great..Version: 1.11.5

Nicely design appI have tried several different checkbook balancing applications and this one works very nice for the voice over feature on an iPhone. Being blind I need an app that is labeled properly for all the form fields so voiceover will read each field so I know what I’m entering into what field. It is a little bit cumbersome having the check cleared or unclear and update the available balance but that’s acceptable..Version: 2.3.3

Long time userBeen using this app for a long time, first to manage my own finances and now to make sure my husband and I are on the same page. It’s great as long as you keep it updated. Recent update was definitely buggy. We almost lost all our data. My app got stuck in a never ending cycle in the sync menu with the pop up opening over and over after closing it. Thankfully, my husband had all the data on his phone and his app updated properly. I had to delete the whole app and reinstall to be able to sync..Version: 1.12.9

I use this every dayThis is a great app! I use this every day to balance my checking account since some transactions take several days to show up on my bank’s app (gas, tips, checks, Target RedCard, etc.). I was probably the only person under 65 still using a check register so I’m glad this has been a modern solution. I find it very functional and the search feature is great for finding past transactions..Version: 2.0.2

Years of SuccessI’ve been using this app for years as I like balancing my bank account to the penny. This app has really great features and is easy to use. I saw another reviewer say this same thing - the only thing missing is that when transferring from one account name to another, it takes two actions…you have to deduct from one and add to the other. This could easily be one step and I do hope it’s added soon. Otherwise, totally love this app and would recommend it to anyone..Version: 2.3.3

No More Checkbook Register!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!.Version: 1.11.5

Love it!I’ve had this app for about six - eight months. Recently I upgraded to include all the features. I do not use all the functions but needed a few and it made more sense to get them all. I love the repeat function however I wish it included more options like every 3 or 4 week options. I have bills that are not always monthly on a date but every 4 weeks. That would be nice in the next upgrade..Version: 1.11.8
