Overall, Checkbook beats competing app Savings for functionality, especially reconciling, but falls short of the outstanding Savings interface. Kudos for allowing different shades of color for credit or debit items. Default as you wish, but please give users the option to customize the recently entered item. For me, that is hard to read and disjointed in appearance. My least favorite trait of Checkbook is that your most recent item is colored very strangely in white text, boldface, with black shadow on a gray background. When tabbing through an entry, the tabbing skips by a drop-down menu - it would be so much smoother to tab to the menu and use arrows, etc. For example, all data is on one line like a plain spreadsheet, but two lines per entry might be easier to read. General interface is polished only to a basic level. Checkbook's functionality is above average, and the reconciling routine is a great virtue - well done on that! Checkbook accomplishes the basics but lacks simple things I need, such as ability to drag and drop a mis-entered item from one account to another. This app is my basic checkbook and credit card tracker, replacing the feature-rich, but aged Budget. After 6 years! Thrilled with this app - Only one wish for me - I would like to have the ability to have it on my phone so I could update on the go. UPDATE: I have now been using this app for SIX YEARS! I actually have 6 years of detailed activity at my finger tips! I don't have to find old statements or log in to my bank account! I am still thrilled with this program! I just happened to go to the App Store and started reading some of the reviews and learned a couple of new little tricks!! Yep, the creators actually responded to those who had issues or concerns or a wish list and BAM now I have even more tips and tricks I've learned. Who knows, I may still have things to find out about this app and might have to update this later! If you are still in doubt, go to the website of the product and you can get a free trial (up to 100 entries) before commiting and paying for it!!!! :) This is a great app for someone who wants “easy” but high quality and basic. When I bought my new Mac I knew I wanted an easy to use app that would do the balancing and math for me and this app sure fit the bill! It’s easy to set up and use, the only “wish” I have would be if it synced with my bank online! I could have paid for an app that would do that, but the prices!!!! Gesh. I was using a self built Excel sheet for my check register, until my computer decided to stop cooperating with me. Send questions about CheckBook to We're happy to help!
