" Handle your finances. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible with most Android devices running on.

Positive review Scheduled Transactions on Galaxy 7 by Russ
I have upgraded from Galaxy 4 to 7 and can no longer setup scheduled transactions. Any ideas? 4/5
Review without rank Think I would love it, but..... by carol
I can't figure out how to schedule payments. I have a Samsung galaxy 7. I have the option to view scheduled payments, but no option to add them
Neutral review Decent, but... by anonym
The "backup to ad card" function literally disappeared today. 3/5
Positive review Excellent!! by anonym
No fluff, no puff, nothing fancy, just a straight forward and simple checkbook that I always have with me and can check anytime. I no longer have to worry about my math and everything is always up to date. I love it and it is the perfect app for lazy me. I highly recommend it I am actually learning to manage my money. Who knew? 5/5
Positive review Love this app by anonym
I always know how much money I have! I wish I could schedule biweekly automatic deposit/bill. It is a lot of manual typing but at least I wont owe any bank fees. 4/5
Positive review Good App by anonym
I like how this app works. It's seamless, easy to use, and has abilities other checkbook apps don't have. Very nice. 5/5
Positive review Simple easy to use by anonym
Great app for keeping track on the go. Simple and to the point. I don't need a bloated gui. Doesn't replace Quicken but is a nice complement. Like the backup feature and restore so I can update all my devices quickly and accurately. Keep up the great work! 5/5
Negative review Not for the bi-weekly person by anonym
I have used this app forever. A few months ago I changed jobs and my pay cycle became bi-weekly versus semi-monthly. Scheduled transactions can only be entered on a monthly schedule so I have to manually adjust transactions constantly and it gets so confusing. :-( 2/5
Negative review Not up to par...yet. by anonym
It was exactly the kind of app I was looking for until I realized I couldn't set up weekly and bi weekly transactions. Once it's fixed, I'll revisit it again. 2/5
Positive review Trey K by anonym
Great app to replace my paper checkbook register. I use this for all of my accounts from multiple institutions so I always know my total balance. I have not had any response when emailing the developer with questions/comments, but still a great app. I will change my rating to 5 Stars if 1) they would add a search function, 2) they would add the ability to total the current & available balances of all my accounts and display them at the bottom of the home screen, and 3) keep a running balance next to every entry like a normal checkbook register. Good design, and very user friendly. I use this app multiple times daily. 4/5
Positive review 5 STARS by anonym
Totally useful! I have used the free version for about a year now. I am happy to support them. This is probably the most useful financial app. The backup option makes it perfect. 5/5
Positive review Lovely! by anonym
This app is very simple and easy to use! I love that I can easily create custom categories! Everything from paying bills to adding payroll deposits to deducting my breakfast while I'm sitting in the drive thru.. It's SO simple! It makes it a very quick efficient way to keep up with your balance!! I am a Teller at a Credit Union and accuracy is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine so I LOVE THIS APP! I love that no matter what I'm doing or where I am I can check my balance and know exactly how much I can spend! Definitely 5 stars!! :) 5/5
Positive review Great so far - surprisingly good! by anonym
I expected this to be a truly "basic" checkbook app but found a lot of nice surprises. Supports multiple accounts, transfer between accounts, create your own categories, scheduled transactions for recurring bills, etc without being overwhelming. The available amount vs actual amounts really helps to show the difference between what you have in your account vs transactions scheduled - for example, a check that has not cleared or an online order that hasn't shipped or billed yet. That alone is worth downloading the app for. I always forget about uncleared transactions and now it's easy to see so I know exactly how much I have left. Export and export to SD card is great so I can do reports. Easy to use interface - love the ability to edit transaction. The large buttons to enter the amounts makes it easy to enter - you simply press the numbers like a phone dialer instead of having to use the phone's keyboard with the small numbers. I tried many, many other "financial" and budgeting apps but found them too restrictive or complex when all I need is to have an electronic version of my checkbook. Glad I found this one. Please consider adding desktop/website access as well. Nice work. 5/5
Negative review Face lift needed bad by anonym
I agree with the Google user bellow. I also have been using this app for over 2 years now and it is so 80's. I paid for this app and there are free apps that include much more with a nicer UI. Come on already. This should be the best app, please fix this. Also you can't even move it to your SD card. Customer support is pretty much nonexistent. Peace 2/5
Positive review Love It But by anonym
This is the one and only Checkbook I use. My only complaint is that it used to have the ability to create new "Categories" that was a very simple way to input and easily file new items. Now I have to squeeze everything into the "Description" box. Please put this ability back to get a 5 Star Rating. Removing this ability cost a STAR. Because of this I give 4 Star instead of 5 it now takes me longer to input new entries. My Time is valuable. 4/5
Positive review No more check register by anonym
I am so glad I can keep track of my checking account this way. No more math errors. Love this. 5/5
Neutral review Not Bad But needs ability to Landscape by anonym
I like to use this app on my tablet, two changes would make this the absolute best app available. 1. Ability to turn screen to landscape if desired. It tends to flip to portrait and only in one direction so I find myself playing flip the tablet. Not as much fun when using a keyboard and entering multiple transactions :( actually shopping for one that does landscape. 2. Memory of previous Payees/Category matches, this would make this app AWESOME! Let me know if you make this change, as I haven't deleted the app yet and I would definitely come back. Until then, I am off to find a landscape checkbook. 3/5
Positive review Found one problem so far... by anonym
Liking ease of use so far. However when I went to my SD card to open the backup file to double check it, I was told the phone was unable to open that type of file. A backup you can't open for restore or export purposes isn't very useful. 4/5
Positive review Great app by anonym
Great app. My only suggestion is to add a bi weekly deposit/withdrawl in transactions. I get paid every two weeks so the date is always changing. 5/5
Negative review Was Perfect, now has a bug by anonym
The app was great, but now my balance keeps going from correct to off by a penny. After triple checking my entries I exported the data at excel, excel calculates my correct balance using the same data, while this app is off by 1 penny. Please fix. Original review follows: This is just what it says - a checkbook register. It doesn't ask for weird permissions and allows you to export your register to a spreadsheet. And it's password protected. Excellent! 1/5
Positive review Wonderful! by anonym
This app is well worth the download. It's so easy and practical. Highly recommend. 5/5
Neutral review Pretty good but have questions by anonym
Seems to work pretty good, however, have sent several emails to the developer because I have some questions about reporting, itemizations and backup, and no one ever responds . . . I definitely use it everyday though. 3/5
Positive review Awesome app! by anonym
I love how simple this app is to use. I also like that I can keep up with several accounts and transfer money between them easily. Best of all it ad free! 5/5
Positive review Great App by anonym
Love this app... out of all the checking apps I've tried...only issues I have are: there is only a monthly input option so adding items weekly, ect is impossible without adding multiple transactions of same item...and there is no option to add transaction to today's date without having to change whole setting of transaction. If those two items were added it would be top notch! Thanx for considering added those awesome features! Add: would love to see where balance is when I look at transaction info 4/5
Neutral review Transferring information by anonym
I had this app on my Note 2. I upgraded to the Note 3. I did a back up of the app, saved it to my SD card, installed the app on my new phone, moved the file from the SD card back to the new phone in the correct file and told the app to restore and it didn't work. Sent an email to owner and it's been a week and no response. I'm about to look for a new app that does the same thing that won't screw me when I upgrade. I'd rate this better but because the maker just isn't loyal to the users it gets 3 stars. 3/5
Positive review Excellent by anonym
This a a great app to manually keep track of ur bank account. It really works like a check book. It automatically backed up my files so when I reset my phone all my transactions came back.. 5/5
Positive review Never overdraw again; always know what you have! by anonym
I love this app. I'm 23 and live on a tight budget with my boyfriend, and I use this thing religiously. Every single time I use my debit or credit card, I immediately put the purchase in my phone and automatically mark everything as cleared, so I always know how much money I have. I also like to round everything up to the nearest dollar, like those "keep the change" programs some cards have, so I usually end up with a little more in my account than I think I have (just in case!). Very, very handy, especially if you live paycheck-to-paycheck and want to always know how much you have in this account, that account and how much you owe on your credit card. If everyone that is in debt or getting close to it had this app and used it daily, I really think a lot of people would save themselves money and overdraft fees. So simple, but so useful! 5/5
Positive review Great by anonym
This is an outstanding app. Easy to use very easy to navigate 5/5
Positive review Great Ledger!!! by anonym
It's a great and simple app. I just wish it would me due a recurring deposit like it does withdrawals. Other than that, great and simple! Very pleased. 4/5
Neutral review Needs a major UI update by anonym
A five stars to just 3. I've had this app for more than two years now and the UI is bland, unattractive, and missing a few features like graphs, pie chart, etc. I ever paid good money for this one so I expected better. 5 start then it's fixed. 3/5
Positive review Love It!!! by anonym
This is a great app... Especially the ability to schedule recurring transactions and customize transaction list... Can also use it for IRA accounts... 5/5
Neutral review Need more options for the scheduled transactions by anonym
This app is great and I haven't had any problems out of it, glitching that is. But one big problem is that there is only one option for how often the scheduled transactions can take place, monthly, I know I'm not the only person that gets paid more than once a month or has transactions that need to take place every two weeks or even every week. This may not seem like a big problem but it really is, I personally get VERY tired of changing the dates on my scheduled transactions all the time. 3/5
Positive review Updated my galaxy S4 android when I noticed by anonym
Updated android from 4.2.2 I think to 4.3 and after that I noticed my quick view by just tapping transaction was reading straight down letter by letter instead of left to right. Also noticed when I enter a new transaction the category drop down arrow is cut off at the side of the screen and I cannot access the + to add a new category. It's a new phone I've had for 3 days, don't know if it was like this before update, just now noticed. I had a galaxy S before and restored a backup of check book to the S4 4/5
Neutral review It does the job... by anonym
It used to be where my husband and I could message our transactions directly from the app (since we have a joint account), but that function has stopped working all together. I like that one can customize the transaction categories, but the expense report leaves much to be desired. It would be nice to be able to select a date range when pulling up an expense report and to be able to see the transactions for each category once the expense report is pulled up by clicking on a category. 3/5
Neutral review Missing Auto Future Transactions by anonym
This app used to work perfectly for me, but since I got a new phone and had to reinstall, I'm no longer able to add a list of automatic recurring future transactions like I could on my old phone. That was the most important feature for me. If that bug can be fixed, I'll re-rate at 5 stars. 3/5
Positive review Love it by anonym
It really helps me keep track of my spending and being able to enter in transactions while I'm walking out of a store is so convenient. I never have to guess what I have in my account. 5/5
Positive review Auto transactions by anonym
I have things that come every two weeks. Sometimes they post twice in one month and some months they come out three times. It would be nice to gave that flexibility weekly,bi-weekly, or monthly. Love the app though. Makes the debt life so much easer. Look forward to an update 4/5
Positive review Excellent by anonym
Great way to keep track of account balances. It even automatically handles recurring charges (like Netflix.) It's even simpler than keeping a paper ledger. 5/5
Negative review App is functional, but needs a major update by anonym
The app functionally works well. Multiple accounts, transfers to and from accounts, etc. However, there is no way to backup and save your data. On newer phones, there is no way to get to the settings menu (most newer phones have a recent apps button, not a menu button). The look of the app is also very outdated and not in line with Android L. Would be a great app if it were updated to work with Android L. 2/5
Neutral review Recurring transactions by anonym
The only problem I with this app is that you can not set the frequency of a recurring transaction. Please give us that option. 3/5
Negative review Horrible developer support by anonym
Have had app 1.5 years. Worked old but cust service SUCKS!! My DroidX2 was just replaced & after saving data (I got successful backup) but it WILL NOT restore on new DroidX2. Dev has ignored my 4 emails asking for a resolution. Use another app this developer REFUSES TO OFFER ANY HELP 1/5
Neutral review 1 cent off? by anonym
Its a great app, but for some reason I am 1 cent off. Depositing 1 cent to balance it makes it go up 2 cents, which doesn't allow me to have the correct balance. Been using this app for years. Please fix for four stars. Update the GUI for five stars. 3/5
