Reviews for Volkron CheckBook

← Back to Volkron CheckBook

This is the EASIEST and simple app I've found. Nothing fancy about it. You want an easy app, this is it. You enter your transaction amount, (make sure u change the plus or minus icon according), enter the payee name (once entered, it's saved), enter category (once entered its saved), add a note if wanted. You can check off verified for those entries to be deducted now or leave unchecked for a payment coming up. It shows verified balance and balance. Wish had graphs to show spending areas.

I love this app. I'm one of those that I have to balance my checkbook to the penny or I freak out. I love that once I tap that a payment has been verified, I see the available balance of what I should have, and the verified balance, of what my bank account shows. So much easier to balance, as the verified amount should be exactly what my bank app shows. Thank you for a simple app that does exactly what I want with no extra bells and whistles that I am required to use. I haven't used any additional features yet, such as the backup, transfer, or statements, just the checkbook register.

This checkbook app is one of the easiest apps that I have found. I like the two totals it shows, cleared balance and actual balance, the two makes it so much easier to keep a total with the bank balance. If you have transactions to the same place you can duplicate the first transaction and change the total charge and the rest of the transaction is already there. I just wish you could do split transactions to keep an accurate category instead of making two transactions to keep the category

I miss the trustworthiness of the old paper check registers. This app allows me the features of a checkbook register (of course for electronic transactions) without having to use a physical register and pen. I can list my transactions as I make them, rather than as they clear, and then reconcile with my online banking history. I feel more in control of my money rather than being pulled around by it without knowing EXACTLY where I stand. Practical, reliable, and recommended.

I love this app for keeping up with spending and account balances. My only complaint is that there is no way to sign in so that other household members can see the same information from their phone.This would be a great addition to the paid upgrade. I would love for my husband to also be able to download the app and add items instead of having to keep up with recipts or remember to tell me how much he spent every time he uses the debit card. If the app had this ability, I would give it 5 stars.

I'm giving the app 3 stars for now. I've been using the free versionfor about a year now. I purchased thr premium for $3.99. It's a bit pricey considering the only additional features unlocked were the ability to import the register to a .cvs file and add a pin #. This app would be very useful if I could track monthly expenses for categories I've set up (i.e. electric, groceries). *Chg'd my rating from 3 to 5 stars after just finding the features I wanted. This is seriously a great app!**

so far so good. wanted an easy way to keep track of my money and this is working, what more can you ask for? and its free Update It's 2020 and it's still working great and that's without upgrading! Love it! Would like a way to have an account that not included in the balances. I'm tracking expenses for an upcoming trip and some of those are being duplicated. Thanks!

Update: this is my daily driver for expenses, i was just wondering if there would be the possibility for a dark theme? Loving this check book. The only suggestion I have is for the option to reorder the entry fields. I would rather have the payee above the amount. But this is a small and minor pet peeve of mine. I wanted a simple and clean check book app and I found what I was looking for with this. Keep this app alive and going because you have done a fantastic job.

I've used this app since mid-2018. In Feb, 2019, paid the 1-time fee to keep my info backed up. I have recurring bills that are drafted, & can enter payments ahead of time to see what my balance will be. To repeat an entry, long-press, choose Duplicate this Transaction. I have ledgers for work, personal, & savings. I've not had any problems with it these 6 years. I only wish it were printable (or to email it to myself). I would be happy to pay for this.

This is the best app ever! Just a very straightforward app that you can customize to your heart's content, without it trying to bully you into doing things someone else's way. You can set up a bunch of accounts, transfer money into them so you can save up for something, then uncheck the accout box so that you can see a total of what you have to actually spend for the month. I love this app. I can't overemphasize enough how big a deal its uncluttered interface is to me.

Love the app.. If it was a single purchase for the app,I would but it right now. However, a subscription is not something that seems worth the price. Simple and intuitive app that's easy to use. I don't have the need to connect to my bank, not would I want to. 1. Make this so a single purchase for those who don't want the subscription options tied to it, and I'm sure it would make money.

So far, so good. No more 'bounced checks'. I'm doing a much better job staying on top of my finances with this app rather than doing math in my head. This really only works in combination with my bank's app. I really wish CheckBook would automatically deduct from my bank account cause I've had strokes & suck at math. That combination makes keeping on track of every single transaction a bit difficult. Plus, I have automatic deductions that I worry may slip through the cracks.

Perfect and simple. Press "+", enter info and amounts, press save. That's it. The app does the rest. Maintains an updated total and displays transactions newest to oldest. You can re-edit each entry including the date. I have 3 accounts I track: a personal checking, business checking, and credit card account. This app is very useful in helping me know how much actual money I have available to spend or how much credit available.

Exactly what I was looking for in a checkbook register app. But, can add multiple accounts like Savings, etc. Simple, but lots of functionality. Clean interface. No ads even in free version! It's not Internet based, so it doesn't sync across multiple devices. Runs on local only, with option to auto-save a backup. I did pay for premium version to utilize the extra features and to support this great app. Easy to use. 1 request: please add automatic backup for Google Drive and/or OneDrive.

Overall, I really like this app. Worth every penny. If I could change two things: 1) App opens to a list of accounts with balances, rather than the last account used. 2) Recurring transfers; I have recurring charges to my credit card so I also have recurring payments, but there's no option to set up anything like that in the app. These are things I would personally find useful, but the lack of them doesn't lessen the app's functionality.

I've used this app for years. The interface and usability is good. The premium upgrade was a flop though.In order to use the premium feature, you must have Dropbox for the backup. I don't wish to pay for a Dropbox and my phone was stolen so I can't get the copy from my device. In a nutshell,I paid for premium and was unable to get my data and had to start all over. It would be nice if there was an account login that would carry across devices.

Suddenly can't keep the app open. Keeps saying Google Play is out of date, when it's not, and app closes itself. Changed review. Dev wasn't able to resolve the problem, but I genuinely appreciate the time they spent trying that they didn't have to. Ended up having to uninstall & reinstall and lost ~5 years worth of transaction history. I'll need to sort my backup issue incase this happens again.

I've been using this app for a while now and like it much better than others I've tried. I knocked off two stars because the only cloud option for backup is Dropbox, which I don't use. Another reason is it won't let me choose where I want manual backups saved to (important to me), and the default is inaccessible, both on my device AND on my computer, since android restricts access to the default location. If you fix these issues with the backup location, I will upgrade my rating.

I really like this app, I was just looking for a basic bare bones checkbook log. a lot of the other ones wanted you to give them your banking information or you know connect to your other account in some sort of way which didn't sit right with me. this app easy to use and the fee is a one-time c and who's very reasonable. All in all I'm very happy with this it's just a greater old straightforward textbook to keep my finances in order without having to carry a checkbook away.

Simple and very easy to use. Did not ask for any personal info to download. Exactly what I wanted. Helps me keep track of actual balance since bank sometimes can take a few days to process a transaction and then I don't forget about one. sometimes I enter bills early so that I know how much I have left to spend for other things.
