Great for keeping track of everything. The one feature I wish were different is the way that cleared transitions show up. You can choose to have them not appear or if they show in the list they have a green bar at the far left. It would be nice if in addition to the green bar the lettering would change color, fade, or become italicized for more differentiation.
Really loved this app due to how easy it was to use but some recent update took my menu away. I can't see cleared items which totally negates my reason for using the app in the first place. I really liked being able to see what I spent and double check. Please fix and I will change my rating to a 5. Otherwise I will have to find a different app for my checkbook which is a shame
I have been using this application for about 2 years now and it's great! However, I switched to the G5 2 days ago and this new phone is slightly different. I now have no way of adding all of my secondary accounts. Could be me and not the app, but I might have to consider a new checkbook if I cannot get that fixed.
I really like this app so far. I have had no problems with it and love that it balances everything as you go. I wish it stored your info somewhere though, just in case something happened, so you could recover it. If mine ever crashes, I'll lose ALL my checking account info.
When I updated my software on the Samsung Galaxy s6 the new marshmallow got rid of the reports and many other functions if this app. I am so disappointed. It's what made this app so great. I am going to have to find another app since it seems I cannot downgrade back to lollipop. Urgh. If this could be fixed it would be great.
At first I thought this was going to work great. But then I noticed a lot of my entries were gone. There should have been more. When I marked some as cleared they disappeared. What the heck? And now I have to start over. Not how I wanted this day to go. Going to find something else.
I've tried at least a dozen bank register apps. And all had their pluses and minuses. This app has everything I was looking for. Running totals, simple interface, quick to add debits/credits. It also has search function. I've used it for about six months now. And had no problems. Love this app!
For whatever reason I couldn't figure out how to add on more money into the account. It kept putting it in as a negative. I personally need quick push of a button options. had to delete this app. Must say in the first few days before my paycheck went into my account the app worked Ok.
I've had this app with phone after phone and love it! Its so simple. But recently I upgraded to the Galaxy s5. I was very disappointed about not being able to use this app due to the menu button disappearing... but I did some research! Press and hold the app switch button and the menu pops up :) I was so excited to be able to use this app again. And there's a helpful hint for those Galaxy S5 users ;)
I was looking for something I could input a starting balance and input debits and credits and get a balance and that's just what this does. So simple and easy to put in all your numbers. It doesn't ask for account numbers or personal info so that makes it 5 stars in my books. Great app!
In the beginning I loved this app. It's still great but now I can't see any of my past or cleared transactions. Am I able to get that feature back without upgrading? The app is very easy to use but seeing cleared transactions is very important.
I've been using this app for a while now, and it works great for me. However, I'm not sure if there was an update but I'm not able to see that little button you can tap on to hide or view all of your cleared transactions. It disappeared and now I'm having a hard time remembering what I logged. Please help!
Unfortunately once you clear a transaction it's gone. Which means if my account is off I can't look through & see what is missing. This makes it really hard to balance out the account correctly. I like to have at least a couple weeks of cleared so I can go back & double check if my numbers aren't adding up. If this is an option in the app, it's very hard to find because I've tried everything I could think of to find my list of cleared items & can't.
I love this app, got my wife to put it on her Eco 3D. I love how easy it is to use. If your tired of overdraft fees because u don't carry around a balance book, GET THIS
There's no menu button for me to add more accounts and it does not show my starting balance. It's off and it's not tallying my amounts correctly because of that. Please update for Android M 6.01
There is no way to set up more then one card/bank on this app like I was able to with my galexy s 2 skyrocket because it had a designated settings button
Decided to get this to try and be more responsible with my money since I never carry my checkbook, with this i've been able to maintain an accurate account of my funds. Worth a download I think as it's saved me from making errors.
Use to have menu option for reports and to show cleared transaction but with the update to Android Mashmellow I lose that option. Now is useless for me, is just to hard to reconcile my accounts now. Please fix and will change to 5 stars.
No more bounced checks, even built up a cushion by always rounding up on purchases snd down on deposits. So easy, love it! Still love the app but switched to new phone and when swipe synced the phones it didn't bring anything over but the app. I have to reenter EVERYTHING, very disappointed with that 1 aspect, the rest is great.
I really used to love this app, but after the last update I lost the menu option. I can no longer check cleared transactions which makes reconciling my checkbook much harder. If that option comes back I'll rate 5 stars.
I would buy the pro if it had multiple device functionality or sync. That way the wife's and my transaction would update automatically on each others phone. Not worth buying the pro otherwise
I really like this app - I downloaded over 15 free checkbook type apps to try! I wanted something simple and basic - basically a registrar - nothing fancy - a few things I would like to see added - main screen both available and actual balance (sometimes I input bills, paychecks, etc way ahead and it would be nice to see a closer to date balance) --- also when in the account - I like to see the "running balance" at each transaction
I had this app on my LG and it allowed me to have multiple accounts but since switching to a Samsung I can no longer have more than one account on this app. I loved this app, it was perfect, key word..... WAS!!!!!!! You'd figure a newer phone would work the same if not better with an app. I guess that's what I get for assuming. Now I'm off to hunt down an app that'll fit my needs. Fix this one and I'll use it.
UPDATE - FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ANDROIDS THAT UPDATED, IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE BACK BUTTON THE MENU OPTION POPS UP TO VIEW CLEARED ITEMS!!!!!!!!!!! Very happy with this app again! I used to LOVE this app as it would hold all of my account and I could easily transfer from one to the other. Now with my Android update the menu option to "show cleared" has gone away and now is useless. PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i will change review
Ever since last update no menu so if you hit clear by accident and it disappears, how are you supposed to get it back? Used to be a great app, but since no menu option, it is pretty useless! Fix and i give 5!
I was using this app to keep track of how much I was putting into my change jar. However the app's balance is always more than I actually have. After looking at the individual transactions I see multiples of the same amount, even though it's not possible. For some reason it randomly defaults to this specific amount, regardless of what I enter.
I like the concept, but am unable to add a deposit. I cannot use this app without the ability to add a deposit.
Tried pressing holding the square button but that doesn't work. I need to be able to add another account

Sometimes it says i have more money than i really have and also there was a line or button that you could click on where you could see what you have marked cleared but that's not there anymore, please bring that back
Very simple and to the point. Interface is easy to use. Unsure on how to add multiple accounts, but i am sure I can figure it out. A few added features would be nice, but it's nice because it isn't cluttered like similar apps. It's very helpful for keeping track of my checking account before all expenses show up. And you don't need a pen!
Here's the fix you've all been looking for! I have an LG G3 and was despairing over how to add another account. In my despair I started to tap and press and hold every square inch of my screen. And at last, a marvelous discovery! To find the menu, hold down the square button at the bottom of the screen (if you tap it, it will allow you to clear your running apps). This will lead you to the menu!! Because of this find, I am giving this app four stars, only because I wish it would have showed me that in some kind of tutorial! Happy spending!
I marked my transactions cleared to update my available balance and the transactions disappeared. I have not found a way to get them back. I just started tracking my spending to help budget, and not being able to see where I spent is counterproductive. I Uninstalled this app.
Loved this app with my note2 but just fit the Note5 and without a "menu" button you can't do anything!
I have no way to get to the menu or add other accounts. It's great for just one account but there is supposed to be a search and backup that I can't find.
The app is awesome except I can't view a transaction after it has cleared. Anything I'm doing wrong??
Had to factory reset my cell. Is there anyway to restore my data? I thought when backing up my data it would be saved. Please advise! Five stars otherwise!
I would like to be able to view and/or make changes to my transactions. There are several other checkbook apps. I'll just try one of those.
Would be 5 stars but won't allow me yo add more than one account. I don't know what the issue is. Sent an email but still haven't received a response

I used this app with my htc g2 and galaxy note 2. It is perfect and simple and really helps me to keep track and avoid overdrafts. This week I upgraded to galaxy note 4. Some of the keys are different on note 4 then on note 2. So I can no longer figure out how to back up my checkbook or search transactions or even show/hide entries because the key on the phone has a different function now and doesn't seem compatible with the app. I can't find any other options. :(
