It's time to stop giving your bank free money from overdraft fees and nonsensical charges because of poor money management. Checkbook is an app you can use in place of a paper checkbook and makes it easier than you think to handle your finances. Make an impulse purchase today? That's okay, but don't forget to deduct it from your account balance. Even the online bank statements lag when posting transactions-- sometimes causing you to believe you have more money than you do. That is not to their disadvantage: it's yours!

Although we cannot promise you will never overdraft again, we can promise you that using this app properly, and keeping track of your transactions will make it next to impossible.

This version of the app allows as many accounts as you need and does not have ads. This app works with 1 phone only. If you want to share a joint account, this is NOT the app for you.

Very easy to use. Its superb. Update: I have emailed for the manual hoping to resolve an issue I'm now having but have heard nothing back and its been a couple of weeks. The issue is that my new phone has no dedicated menu button and I'm trying to find out how to access the menus for setting, exporting and such? At this point and until I get a response this has became a just ok app. If I don't find out something soon I may have to find a new app for tracking my accounts.

Transactions often fall into more than one category but the app allows you to choose only one category for each transaction. If the data model were edited to allow users to assign transactions to multiple categories, that would be much more useful than the current one transaction : one category set up. They usually call that using tags, so you might as well change the name of the feature to tags, which would help you publicize such an improvement more easily. Also, I agree with comments about the Scheduled Transactions feature: it needs more flexibility. (Weekly, biweekly, quarterly, annually. Check out the approach in Google Calendar for scheduling recurring/repeating Calendar events.)

This is my go-to ledger app. I always relied on it. When I upgraded to the Galaxy S5 I was no longer able to put in scheduled transactions. Six months later I decided to try again, but I still couldn't put in scheduled transactions. Sorry guys... I hope there's a fix for this soon because all other simple checkbook apps don't come close.

The only real complaint I have is that there is no way to check of items that have cleared the bank. So if your balance doesnt figure up with the bank you have to go back through everything. Other than that I like it. But im gonna keep looking for another one. I loved the one I had on iPhone. I guess it spoiled me.

Used to really love this app. But now since i switched from HTC to galaxy7 the app no longer gives me the option of editing whenever i make a mistake. Dont no if thats the phone or the app. No edit button. Also sometime the balance is off by a couple of pennies. You might say only a couple of pennies. Well those couple of pennies can cause someone to go into overdraft if not paying attention.. still like the app. But if issues are not addressed will be searching for another app..

It was exactly what I needed on my galaxy s4. But just went to galaxy s7 now there are no options under the question mark. I used to be able to transfer from one account to another. Now that option is gone. I can't add categories, I can't get a settings button so I can't uncheck the clear automatically option. There seems to be a lot missing when using on a newer phone. If I could get those things back I give 4 stars. If I could also add the option of category, notes etc on a transfer I'd give 5.

I love this app. It allows me to keep an accurate balance of my accounts without any of the "Pending" charges and other stuff online. I can also take out the bills early that are taken out on a certain day so I know how much I REALLY have to spend. I have certain reoccurring charges. For the note section where you write a description, maybe and auto-suggest based on previous descriptions so I don't have to type it over and over? Also, auto-capitalize wouldn't be amiss, but that could just be my phone.

I've been using this for years without any problems. Recently there was a $350 discrepancy! I rely on needing this to be accurate. Then it's a penny off all the time. And if I make an adjustment of a penny it will add or subtract TWO cents! Also the transactions show in order by timestamp, not by date!!

M70%
by M####:

This is all that I need! Very simple & easy to use. By far the best checkbook app that I have ever used! The only reason that I rated it 4 stars is that it doesn't have the option to schedule weekly deposits & automatic withdraws. Plus it would be nice if you had an option to remind you of an upcoming withdraw. Other than that I love it! Thanks for making this app & please put out an update to at least schedule weekly transactions? Thanks, Mark

I really like this app, but there's something I don't understand: why can you put things into categories if you can't generate a report?! I've been tracking my spending very thoroughly because I thought I could see where I'm spending money the most to see if I can do better next month. It doesn't have to be fancy. Just a category name with a $ amount and a date range would be great!

I had this app for YEARS on my Galaxy devices and loved it, lived by it. I upgraded my phone and went to the LG G3 and this app has lost settings options and I am unable to restore from my memory card without that. I won't waste the time waiting any longer for a response from the developer. I am now searching for a new app. Wish they would have emailed back. ***** 4/8/2015 UP DATE: Emailed AGAIN and still no word. So giving up completely and deciding between two other options.

I like the interface. As a checkbook/account organizer it is missing some basic functionality. 1) Create new account for a credit card - you can't enter a negative starting balance. 2) Transfer funds - the transaction is posted in both accounts, however the "details" are left blank. it would be easy and convenient to populate this with where funds were trasfered to in the withdrawal account, and where they came from in the deposit account. 3) transfer funds. If I delete or modify a transfer, it does not propogate the change in the other account. 4) I found no option to change the directory for exporting a spreadsheet. 5) the whole point of exporting a spreadsheet is to compare/balance your register. the exported spreadsheet contains no column for cleared/not cleared. this is frustrating. I will happily change my rating to a 5 as soon as the above common sense functionality is included.

I would give this program 5 stars execpt: 1. They do not answer emails 2. There needs to be a search funtions. So i can easily search for transaction. 3. The delete option needs to be at the bottom of the list instead of right below Mark As Cleared..many time i have deleted a transaction by accident. 4. Needs to be an "are you sure?" option when deleting transaction.

I have used this app for years all the way through my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It was my most important app. I just upgraded to Galaxy Note 7 and there is no way to access settings to import my backup from my SD card. Very sad and from what I've read, it doesn't look the developer cares. Changed to another checkbook app, but would come back to this one if the issue is fixed.

I love this app and have used it for at least 3 years now... but there's just a couple of things I'd like to see.. 1. I'd like to have a log in so that my husband can install the same app and login to see what I've updated and budgeted. 2. On the Note 7, I can't seem to get the settings to open or locate the settings tab. Thanks.. great app and would love to continue using, but these are important to me. Here's hoping you guys can implement these items. :)

Almost that is except for the fact that the app does not have the option to chose where backups are stored or retrieved from. It would be great if I could store my backups on my microSD card so if my phone becomes unusable I can install the app on a new phone and restore my data from the SD card where I left it. don't you think?

I use to love this app... The only dislike I ever had was not being able to change the time from military... But then I upgraded my phone to the Note 5 & the app doesn't even work at all... Half the options are missing... I notice u haven't done an update since Sept. 1, 2011.... I mean will there ever be an update for this app in the near future?? If so that would be awesome, if not looks like I'll have to find another app!!!!!

I have used this app for years, and had absolutely no problems. Then at one point I switched phones re-download it and then I noticed they removed the options. I tried everything I could think of to bring up an options menu but nothing worked. So now I can't remove categories I don't need or back up the file.

I had used this app on several previous devices with no issues. Upgraded to the galaxy s7, and since there is no menu button, cannot access screen to add recurring transactions. Attempt to contact developer gave no response. Time to find something else.

I just got my very first smart phone so this app is very helpful. I would like to see more options on Scheduling future transactions, like a every two weeks thing. I know most of bills are once a month but I have some that come out every two weeks when I get paid. So for right now I will say 4 Stars, but I will change it to 5 Stars if its updated to schedule future transactions every two weeks. Thank you and keep up the good work.

J70%
by J####:

This app worked great until around 244 transactions. Then totals went off by 1 cent. It was a penny more than the true correct total. Tried to adjust by subtracting a dummy transaction of 1 cent. App subtracted 2 as if some hidden internal total was correct. I'll be looking for another app.

We just switched to new androids and now I can't use this app. The os settings button was built into the app. With the new os, the settings button no longer exists, so I can't even import my old data or use basic functions. Will the app be updated soon? I purchased this app and would appreciate knowing when I can start using it again.

I have used this app for years and it does exactly what I need. However I updated to the S6 Edge Plus and no longer have a menu key so I can't access categories or backup my data. I really don't want to look for a new checkbook app but I have to be able to export. Please add an in app menu key for newer phones

Went from my Note 4 to a Galaxy S7 Edge and can now no longer long press to get the options for back/restore or any other options.. Please update the app to work with the newer app spec of android. Seems like a lot of people are having this issue as well.

Great app. wish there was an option to change frequency of scheduled transactions to something other than monthly. For example I have a set amount taken out if paycheck and sent to a separate account to help me save. be nice to be able to set that to bi-weekly resume on every Friday or something. Including this would be great- thanks.

Was looking for something simple to replace my paper ledger. This was it. Easy to enter transactions does just what is needed. Only holds 120 transactions then oldest one is dropped. I have no problems with this app. If I needed to look back further, I need to go to my bank. To app is perfect and perfectly simple

I've been using this ap for a couple of years. I love the layout and features. It's very easy to use. My only complaints are, that the backup didn't load when I switched to a new phone. I tried to contact support a couple of times and got no response. I just upgraded to the Note 5 and I can't even access the menu to attempt to retrieve my backed up entries. So far support has again not responded.

This was great on my galaxy s4, but now I have no menu button and can't easily bring up the menu to add scheduled transactions or anything else that button would've done. Please add support for this if at all possible.

We use our CC to pay for almost everything, but we really like the principles of the "envelope" system. We use this app to create virtual envelopes and know where we're at.

I use this app for everything. It helps to keep everything orangized. The only problem I have...I can't find a way to backup my info if you get a new phone. If shows a backup but it never works. So, you just have to start a new one.

I've been using Checkbook for a couple of years now. I always give some of the new budget apps a try but I always end up returning to Checkbook. It keeps things simple and that's all I need.

T70%

This is my main financial app that I use for all accounts. I have only had one issue and I think it was a bug that got fixed. It was something to do with when I backed up the accounts, it would show the backup as 0 bytes, that was like 3 years ago and hasn't happened since. Great app to manage bank account, credit card, food stamps, and even debt owed to you. ALSO I have never had it go one cent off. My balance is always right, and if not, I can always track it back to an input error.

My phone had to be reset due to Android update going wrong. Now, I've lost all my information. I have never been so mad!

It's great if all you need is a basic ledger for your account(s). Supports transfers and recurring transactions; shows current vs available balance; easily set status of chk/dep (cleared/uncleared). However, there is NO developer support; lots of issues with backup/restore; no option to edit categories, only create/delete; does not "remember" transaction info, you have to manually type in all info for each entry.

I just upgraded to the S6 Edge+ from the S4. I LOVE this app and have used it for years but now that I've upgraded I can't access the menu to add automatic deductions, export excel, backup, or restore backups. The S6, as with many other new phones, are opting out of including a menu button because most google apps are switching to in app menu keys (3 lines or dots). PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE upgrade this app to use in an in app menu button!!!!! I'm only giving 3 stars because it's almost useless without an in app menu button. I will gladly update my review to a full 5 stars once the app is updated.

D70%
by D####:

That had to be an embarrassing bug for the developer so I have no choice but to believe that since it hasn't been corrected in 2 years he or she isn't very good at coding or that the app has been abandoned. Developers should have the decency to mark apps in Google Play as abandoned

Not very helpful without an in app menu button on my Note 4....can't use half of the features that I want. Will find another app.

by Y####:

Why won't it allow me to set up the re-accuring payment or deposit option? Would be a 5 star if I could do this. But now I put in my future payments with the due date and it throws off my actual balance bc I'm planning for future payments just as reminder. If this could be fixed then it would be 5 star

by D####:

Keeping track of my transactions on this app helps so much. It's real tracking. I can always trust my balance. Not like banks that give you your available balance and then say they removed a transaction and put it back later.... That's why I got overdrafts. I would look at my balance and trust them.... No more! I enter my transactions and they don't go anywhere. MY BALANCE IS ALWAYS TRUE. LOVE IT!!!! (And this app doesn't need to go into your private business on your cell)
