Checkbook Wiz for Negative User Reviews
✓ Very good app to keep track of bank accounts5/7/21 - Not so happy now that my recurring payments are not being entered into my accounts. I have reported this but have had no reply Previously - Excellent app. I can keep track of my bank and credit card accounts. Simple to use and well worth buying to avoid the adverts.Version: 5.0
✓ Out of date and never did sync wellI've been using the checkbook app on my phone for years, and have the checkbook wiz on my iPad. The checkbook app no longer works because the developer needs to update it for iOS 15, and I can't sync checkbook wiz on my phone from the cloud. I don't know why. Most of the data is on my iPad, and both are signed into the same iTunes account. The syncing was never great, anyway, and I had decided to use the app on only a single device. Otherwise, I never knew what amounts were correct. Now my best data is trapped in an app that's currently obsolete, and I am also unable to restore my purchase of checkbook wiz on my phone. Frustrated..Version: 5.0
✓ Still searchingI have a checkbook register app (Pocket Money 2) that I’ve used for years and really like, but the original developer passed away and the new one destroyed it by “updating” it into something nearly unusable. But I digress. I have several complaints about most of the checkbook apps now available. Icons - how many people, when we all used pen and paper registers, drew little pictures in them when they noted a category or named their bank? At least make them optional. If I use a category for groceries, I know what that means. I don’t need a picture of a shopping cart. Recurring entries - no app I’ve looked at allows customization. I receive SSA checks on the third Wednesday of every month. In apps other than PM2, I can only pick monthly. Third Wednesdays occur on various dates. Most calendar apps allow that kind of customization so i assume it can be done. Screen clutter - most apps have screens that are much too busy with graphics and unnecessary pictures. Simplicity is usually the most elegant. There are other things, but you get the picture. Developers should search the App Store to find apps that have the highest number of 5 star ratings and, without violating copyright laws, try to make something similar. Or look at the ones with the most 1 star ratings to see what people don’t like. End of rant. Thanks for reading. BYW, I only gave this app 1 star hoping people will read it. The app is maybe a 3 star..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Horrible!!This developer stopped updating this app a long time ago. Many areas that can improve with this app. Here are the areas of improvement: 1) should have auto decimal, 2) when entering amounts it should place the NUMBER pad for ease of data entry instead of numbers across keyboard, 3) when selecting a previously used payee, it should populate the right expense category instead of defaulting to OTHER, 4) should allow you to delete/modify expense categories, 5) it should also consolidate account totals by type, ex: banks should have a total, retirements should have a total, investments should have a total, etc. The developer took the money and ran with it..Version: 5.0
✓ Save by update, but....I too lost about 2.5 years of transactions but the developers were quick to respond and make the fix. Having the app on a second device saved me as I made no changes on that system. The problem now is that there’s no auto sync between devices. It has to be done manually which is really annoying. The app also should offer split screen capability. That would be a game changer..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Oh this app…I use it religiously but the recurring charges that have been recurring and appear unchanged in the list are not, in fact, being applied in a consistent manner. I just got an alert from my credit card and when I went to confirm that the autopay was sufficient it was not in the register at all, though it was still on repeat. This is not the only time this has happened in the past few months, and it is truly unpredictable as to which entries aren’t showing up automatically. I really love this app when it works, but yikes. How can I straighten this out?.Version: 5.0
✓ Use it DailyIt’s a great app. Would like to see some changes to the recurring feature. If I change an amount or anything it frequently reverts to original date, entering a year or more or payment that have to delete. Otherwise it’s a good app. I also have begun to have problems with recurring payments not paying. No matter what I do they won’t flip to the register. I have to set up new payment and delete the old one. What’s up with that. ??.Version: 5.0
✓ App definitely needs some repairs!In the past, this was a good app. Long-time, paid user here. On the plus side, I manually backup to Dropbox and to iCloud, regularly and flawlessly. But, the developer is no longer responsive to support requests. The app is inexplicably slow now—unexplained, frequent delays of 3-4 seconds started with an update in 2021. The recurring transactions are a mess. They don’t sort by date in the list of recurring transactions and worse, any time you make a change to a recurring transaction it’s anyone’s guess whether it will automatically enter itself as scheduled. It’s gotten to the point where any time I need to make any change to any recurring transaction, I delete the recurring transaction and create a new one with the current details. I’ve been looking for alternatives but haven’t found anything better so far..Version: 5.0
✓ Legitimate Vendors on CMPKeep stopping “Legitimate Vendors” on the CMP but will not stop any and keeps returning them to “Accepted” Who are these Legitimate Vendors ??.Version: 6.0
✓ Worked for the first 2 years....I had two year’s worth of entries in 10 different accounts and now it is all gone! I haven’t backed it up for several months so now everything is lost! I lived by this app on a daily basis. Opened it tonight to reconcile my account and it went back to the first couple of entries from 2 years ago. All of it gone! This is the second time a paid app has crapped out on me with my checkbook. Apparently I need to go back to pen and paper. Highly disappointed in this app and I have hours ahead of me to juggle my accounts and bills.Version: 3.6
✓ AdvertisementI hate all the ads and related things in the app. I just want a cheque book.Version: 5.1
✓ Change of plans…I really like this app. I used it all the time with the ads. And then just last week, I was forced to pay for it because I had too many transactions for it to be free. Sudden change out of no where. It’s only a couple dollars but it’s been free for me for years and all of a sudden I had to pay for it. Glad I don’t have stupid ads but now I have the “rate this app” pop up all the time. So here’s your review!.Version: 5.0
✓ AdsUpdate on July 17, 2020. I absolutely love this app, BUT... I bought the paid version to get rid of the ads. Two days later I still have ads. I contacted support and they told me to use restore purchases button. I have done it repeatedly. I also deleted the app, reinstalled it and loaded my data back in from iCloud. Still, I have ads. Also, the balance for my checking account has been off by large differences. it seems like almost every time I open the app, a different balance shows up. I I have paid for and tried to use so many different bookkeeping apps that I am now giving up and going back to my Numbers spreadsheet. I use an app for two or three months and then my account balances go crazy and are incorrect. This has happened repeatedly. My spreadsheet is quicker and easier to use in the long run. As far as the checkbook part of the app, it works really well. Yesterday, I downloaded the paid version. I still have ads all over the screen and ads that bring up their own screens. I just want to get what I paid for, which includes no ads..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Sudden problemI was trying this app out to see if it could replace my existing checkbook app and I really like it. A few problems popped up recently, however. Inside my main account, the running total it keeps with each transaction is WAY off. I also wish you could set a default screen to start on. It would be helpful to start on the accounts screen instead of with “today’s transactions” if I so choose. Giving 2 stars because the running total issue is a deal-breaker for me..Version: 5.0
✓ Not so greatI have used this app for approximately 5 years. I just bought a new phone and the data from the app did not transfer over very well with much of it missing and now I am getting ads even though I have paid for the app. I have hundreds of hours invested in this data and am not getting any response from the developer so am looking to change..Version: 5.0
✓ Still learningI’ve only been using this app for a few days so I admit I’m still getting used to it. So far it’s easy to understand and I like many features it offers. But today, it keeps crashing. Why? The data I have already entered does not get erased but whatever entry I’m working on isn’t recorded and I find myself re-entering the information. I really hope this isn’t something that continues because this app offers exactly what I’m looking for. Any suggestions?.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Just okay, room for improvementThis app is easy to use. Have used several other checkbook apps in the past and one major difference that I would love to see on this app is the ability to “forecast” transactions. For example my cable bill is exactly the same amount every month and comes out of my account on the same day every month. Wish I could setup a reoccurring transaction that on the 15th of every month xxxx amount comes out of my account. Instead with this app I have to enter it manually every single month..Version: 4.1
✓ ICloud sync is not available.The sync function is not available in this version of the software. You can backup and restore but no automatic sync..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Regularly loses transactionsAs others have mentioned I was looking for a replacement for ireconcile a few years back and thought this was a great replacement. However, over the last few years the app has lost hundreds of my transactions at a time on multiple occasions and I cannot get them back, but instead have to spend hours manually reentering them or just start over from scratch & lose all my history. The setup of the app is good and it’s great when it works, but extremely frustrating when it deletes everything. Please fix this recurring problem and I’ll happily change my review, otherwise I guess I’ll start searching for other options to replace this app..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Great app except when it crashesI have used this app for about 3 years. It is my favorite checkbook app and the most customizable. I can have multiple “accounts” and look at my total in months, quarters, or the year. My biggest complaint is this app has lost all my information 3 different times. It’s so frustrating and only once did I get it back (I bought the pro version). Starting over is awful and losing all my information is ridiculous. This last time it happened I started backing it up manually every day. I updated my phone with the IOS 13 and this app has been a little glitchy since then-it won’t let me add pictures and has crashed a couple times-and since the apps last update. So, overall love this app but get it together and stop losing all my info. Also the customer service is awful!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Update Oh-Oh!I Love this app, and have never had any issues with it until today. I have lost everything for the last two years it looks like. It shows my last transaction being in 2017. After further investigation I find that this app did an update today. Updates shouldn’t be taking me backwards. Lost my various accounts, and recurring payments and everything else I had set up. Oh well! Looks like I’ll have to start over....Version: 3.6
✓ Good app.This app is very useful. I would give it a five stars if it had a Budget feature. I asked the developer but received no answer after a week..Version: 3.2
✓ Still F upOnce again unable to clear a payee without adding it back in to the register. Do not waste your money on this app. The developers do not get back with you nor fix the issues. Well after several complaints about not being able to correct entries and having this app for several years. Have deleted and moved over to accounts3 where I can correct names and not have to have misspelled or incorrect data. And the iCloud works do keep my devices up to date. Get what you pay for. Good luck..Version: 5.0
✓ No longer free, very small amount of transactions unless you payI’ve used this app for years and even with the bugs that messed up account balances, removed transactions and caused errors when using certain categories, I still continued to use the app because I’ve been using it for so long and it was the closest free app I could find to an old checkbook app I loved that was no longer supported on the newer iOS at the time (very simplistic without a bunch of filler). They added ads where you have to wait before moving on, fine. But now with this new update, I’m unable to add any transactions because it says I have “-4964 transactions left”. I can watch a video for 50 transactions which I’ve done and I’m grateful for that but I will be looking for another app. I don’t mind paying but with the issues I’ve experienced with this app, I’d rather not. I will just keep it for historical purposes..Version: 5.0
