| 2024-12-19 |  | | I am a long time user of Clear checkbook. I can't imagine managing our finances without it. It's rarely glitchy, has plenty of free options, doesn't nag you to upgrade. It is just a reliable money management tool that lets you be as basic or detailed as you want to be. It doesn't have the most aesthetic look in comparison to similar apps, but after trying several of the others I stayed with this one, because I don't need aesthetics in a money management app, I need reliability and functionality. |
| 2024-08-23 |  | | Used this app for years as my chosen checkbook register. It has always worked perfectly for my needs, but there was an update this week that has changed that. One of the things I loved about the app was that I could set up virtual "accounts" to save for things like Christmas, and when I wasn't using them I could make them inactive and hide them from my view. With this update, the app shows even inactive accounts. It still works, but having to wade through inactive accounts is a pain. |
| 2023-11-20 |  | | Been using the app for awhile to track my transactions and for the most part, it's a pretty good app. I like that it's just a simple register, that's all I was looking for. Lately though, when I click into a specific account to add a transaction, the selected account changes when I'm finished creating the transaction, which throws off my balances. Please fix this issue. Other than that, it's a great app. |
| 2023-10-02 |  | | It seems to be a okay app for writing out checks, paying bills and keeping track of expenses. I was only wanting something to create imaginary records for a project but it apparently doesn't work unless you have it hooked up to your bank account. I didn't like that it doesn't give you a way to edit the info on the accounts. Kind of simple, mediocre features, not many useful features. I'm not sure I would want to use it for actual business connected to my actual bank. |
| 2023-09-04 |  | | I really enjoy Clear Checkbook! Been using it since 2012. But the app is not very user friendly. The search option is touchy. You can't add the same description/amount twice without an error. Sometimes it doesn't post an entry. I re-enter the transaction only to be off when trying to balance. Eventually I use my computer and find it was posted twice. I deleted the app & added a shortcut to the actual website. Love the website!! |
| 2023-09-01 |  | | ACTUALLY, I just logged on after clearing cache and everything was reversed. It finally balanced & now it's f'd. I do love this product, but just recently switched to app. Can't say I love it. Things don't jive or sync so I create two entries or delete one that looks like a duplicate. I've emailed twice and no reply. That's hence the 3 stars. At the end of the day, after emailing the balance did balance. Which makes no sense. But service matters, guys. This is historical data of our money flows. |
| 2022-08-22 |  | | Loved this app until their recent update. I used to be able to put $0 in the amount and can't do that anymore. It also is putting some of my transactions in the wrong accounts. I know what I am doing but the app chooses to move the transaction to a different account. Let me choose. So disappointed. I have used this app for years and loved it. |
| 2022-07-01 |  | | For the most part works great. I love the jived/unjived aspect for charges that haven't yet posted to my account. 1 major issue I have in the app when making multiple transactions that are similar it gives me a "network error: transaction already exists" error. I have to force close the app over and over to get it to work. I do multiple account transfer every Fri and this is a huge headache. Also, recurring transactions would be great. Edit: I see recurring is available on the browser side. |
| 2022-06-12 |  | | Horrible app. Have been using this a few months now so my husband and I could share an up to date checkbook on the go. However the app is not user friendly. I have spent hours trying to find why a balance is not matching up with no error on my end. There must be a ghost transaction somewhere... Super frustrating. You need to click out of the entry feild and go back to put in a decimal, and it doesn't always sync properly. Great idea but not worth any amount of money. |
| 2022-05-11 |  | | I don't know what updates were made to the app, but they are ill-conceived and make using the app even more difficult to use than it already was. The search feature is ridiculous, as it now requires that you scroll up to the top of the transaction page to enter your search field. In the scheduled payments section, I can't delete the transaction details and enter new values. Such a shame because I recently upgraded to a premium account, and then they updated the app & ruined the whole experience. |
