This checkbook app works really great, when it works consistently. It had a great entry system, and once I paid for premium, it really helped me keep track of my accounts. However. Two times (over the last year) it signed me out and wiped my information. The third, and last, time it logged me out, it synced all the old accounts it had previously wiped out. It no longer acknowledged that I had paid for the premium either. I'm not giving it anymore chances.
Reviews for Checkbook – Account Tracker
Updating my review. I've been a lifetime premium member for 3 years, using Checkbook for many more pre-ads. This app still has the best User Interface out of all of them. I've only got one complaint: Maybe once a year after an update, I'll lose all my data, or everything would duplicate like others have said. Annoying, but I can live with that when it happens so infrequently. Was always able to restore quickly & clean up a bit. Customer email support has always been quick to respond too!
I don't normally write reviews because I know they get last in the mix but I have to express how frustrated I am with this latest update. I love this app!! I've been using it for years and it has helped me stay in check with my expenses. Unfortunately, the annoying ads that are forced for me to watch every single time I enter in a transaction is way to much. Whats more frustrating is that i can't click out of it until the short clips are done. "Updated Post" pro version is much better!!
I've had the lifetime premium version for over 3 years. Never had any major issues, only minor inconveniences of payee lists being duplicated multiple times. I open the app today to pay bills and I'm logged out. I log back in, and it's "updating data", this takes at least 5 minutes to get to 100%. Now that it's at 100%, it's just hanging/stuck at 100% and not doing anything. At this point, I think I'm going to switch to a new app, this type of issue is unacceptable.
Having a hard time balancing. Do online banking, every item in on line banking is in my checkbook on this app but balance isn't in line with on line banking. Before update was able to put a line in that I would list as "balanced with bank" and not have to put a dollar amount in. I can no longer do this, so with this app not balancing with my on line, has been off for over a month. Would have gave a zero rating if I could. Will be looking for a different app. Have used this one for years
Hate the new update. I have used this app for years and loved it, it was perfect for my needs. I used to be able to put in an upcoming expense with the amount $0 until I knew what the amount would be. I can no longer do this, "amount required" When it updated it changed my numbers and I needed to go back and figure out where an extra $2500 came from that wasn't there before the update, and that I didn't have. Many things are now screwed up and frustrating.
UPDATE: Ads are now way more frequent than when I originally reviewed. This app is a scam from the developers to make ludicrous amounts of money for little effort. I'm using this app because I have no choice, but the ads if you don't pay for it are absolutely awful. I've had three ads play simultaneously, so I had to wait for three ads to all close out, which usually totals the 45 seconds. I could understand if the price to get rid of ads was around five bucks, but $20 is criminal.
I have loved it until I have started experiencing issues with it not matching my bank account. The checkbook says I have 20$ more than my bank account and I've checked all of my purchases to my bank statement for the past few weeks. It stopped matching up after some purchases I made a few days ago which I recorded in here the day of purchase. This has happened before with a $5 difference on my account and I thought it was me but it's the app! Very annoying. Other than the ads I like it.
I have used this app for a couple years now on multiple Android devices. I can't recall it ever freezing up or failing to post or backup or restore. I use it to track 3 accounts (including a credit card) and a budget of sorts. Terrifically useful! 4/26/21 - just realized that I can't find the backup feature. What am I missing?
Well, I've had enough! I stuck with this app because though it's supposed to be free, I was bombarded with ads! And it was especially frustrating when I would be in the middle of entering a transaction, then BOOM another ad! The final straw for me? I opened a new account yesterday and went to add it, not only would it not let me add it, even after I deleted my old bank account, NOW you're charging a fee to add a new account? Yeah ... we're done!
