User Reviews for Balance My Checkbook

Excellent App

I 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!

Best checkbook ledger I’ve found

I’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.

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!

Nearly perfect

I’ve had this app for a couple years and loved it. I finally gave up and stopped using it about a year after I had my iPhone X because it didn’t support the non-home button screen sizes. However, a couple months ago I noticed they were consistently updating the app again so I decided to give it a try. Since I was gone I found another app that I didn’t care for as much as this but it had one really cool feature that I wish this one did. When typing in amounts, it adds the decimal point automatically, that is very cool. I’ve emailed the devs a couple of times and they say that’s an upcoming feature. Either way, this is an invaluable app that sits comfortably in my dock. Thanks to all involved for giving us constant updates that brings great improvements.

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.

I like the app

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.

Could Use Improvements For Scheduled Transactions

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!

Back Up Data did not included transaction names. Disappointed!

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.

Disappointed in update

I really love this app, I’ve been using it for years! However, in the last two weeks I have noticed I can only search for transactions by name when I used to be able to search by anything having to do with the transaction- amount, name, notes... I loved this feature because (as long as I added notes) I could always look back any see what I spent on a particular item, even if I couldn’t remember where I got it. Or even check the date I purchased it just by searching for key words I added in the notes. Another thing I noticed is when I add a transaction from a repeat merchant, the app auto populates the notes section with whatever I put there the last time. While that’s not a deal breaker for me, I do find it annoying. The thing that could potentially be a deal breaker is the search function being limited to just the transaction name. That has substantially limited the convenience I have so appreciated from this app for a number of years.

Love this app

I’ve been using this app a few years now and can’tLive 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 keepUp 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
