Great, but a few small things. I’ve been using Accounts2 for many years, and would not have switched to 3 except for wanting to support the dev. This is a fantastic tool. My only problems are: 1) link an email in Help to report bugs instead of going to Facebook, which I don’t use. 2) On recurring transactions, deposits are green, as they are when entered in the account itself, withdraws show up white instead of red. I would like to see red for withdraws as that’s a great visual cue. 3) Please do away with the 1,000 transaction export limit and allow for any number. That is incredibly inconvenient! Like I said, these are small things and imo do not warrant a less than 5 star rating for the overall use and functionality of the app. I would’ve paid $20 for it. It’s probably one of the best apps on my phone. Great job!

Can you add/correct this feature?. Just made the switch from Accounts 2 to 3 once some new updates had been done. Enjoying it so far. This is one thing I’d like to see: example: I make a transfer from my checking to my savings. Save it. But then I realize I sent it to the wrong account; it’s supposed to go into my money market. When I go back to the transaction, I can’t simply just edit the transfer to account. Instead, I have to delete and recreate the transfer. Would appreciate if this feature can be added. Thank you for all your hard work! Excellent customer service and taking into consideration your users’ recommendations and issues.

Best check register app anywhere. I switched to Accounts2 a couple years ago when PocketMoney was sold and was morphed into a monstrosity that made keeping a simple check register almost impossible. After testing many apps, my wife and I settled on Accounts2. It enabled us to keep our iPhones and iPads in sync. It was simple, reliable, and stayed up-to-date. Accounts3 is a continued evolution of the same simple check register app. It maintains the ease of use while improving the syncing tremendously. The user interface was improved without breaking the simple financial tool we continue to love. I am happy to pay for such a reliable and valuable app.

Best checkbook app ever!!. I had been using accounts and accounts 2 forever and when I saw there was accounts 3 I jumped on it. It was super easy to transfer my information from accounts 2 to accounts 3 over two devices. I highly recommend this app. It takes the math work out of reconciliations and has various other time saving features. The recurring payments feature is great as well. Can’t say enough good things about the app and the developer who had assisted me in initially setting up the app and actually added a feature that I needed for my own situation. Thank you for no more bounced checks and for keeping this app alive thru updates. I depend on it!!

Simple and easy to use.. I started with the trial version of Account 2 and quickly fell in love with it. For the price of a cup of coffee I updated to #3. Like every app of this nature there are alway little bugs you don’t like. To increase the number of stars, I would like to see a way to post future reoccuring transactions. It would aid in managing cash flow. Currently I have to enter the transactions manually on the specified date. It would be so much easier to go to a reoccuring transaction and click “post now” and then edit the date, but that option is not available. Add it and get 4 maybe 5 stars.

Update from Accounts2 Nightmare. i loved my Accounts2 app. Have been using it since at least 2011. i’m sure i will love Accounts3 as well, but in updating from Accounts2 I LOST THE MAJORITY of my account transactions in the process. My balances all carried over, so i didn’t even notice the discrepancies until a week later when I went searching for a previous auto deposit. It wasn’t there. Found out any transaction over a month old for 2022 was gone. i have 1 transaction from 2021; 1 from 2019; 9 from 2918; then we jump to 2 from 2016; and after that it’s a crap shoot back to 2011. i did the whole iCloud transfer and then deleted my Accounts2 app. Now there’s no way to get that information back. i am beyond frustrated! MY APOLOGIES! if this was already posted. It seems that if you make sure the “Hide Reconciled Transactions” toggle button is NOT selected, you can see all your transactions from the beginning of time : ) Again, my apologies. i LOVE this app; especially it’s new take a pic of your receipt feature; the reason i updated.

Emailing Transactions Not Working. My wife and I upgraded from 2 to 3 yesterday. In 2 we stayed in sync by emailing transactions to each other and saving. With 3 we followed the instructions for emailing in help/support. The app sends the email with the transaction and the link to post the transaction. When you touch the “post transaction” link it opens up the accounts 3 app but does not show the transaction so no save option. There should be a way of asking a question or requesting help without it being disguised as a review. The Facebook link on your help/support page does not work. 3 stars because 2 worked perfectly and I hope 3 can be fixed.

Great app but reports do not print totals.. The reports have no totals. Can the reports have totals printed out? I see the totals on the screen in the search function and reports but when I print it it has no totals! My records are for my business and need to have official totals printed out and not my handwritten totals. Can the app 3 do this. This is why I upgraded to app 3. Also I purchased the app 3 during 25% off promotion to upgrade but was still charged the full price through apple. Can my account be credited the difference? Thanks

Warning: Family share does not mean family sync. Since it advertised family share, and it said it would sync between devices, I expected to be able for my wife and I to be able to manage our bank accounts together. But no can do, we have to be on the same iCloud account in order to sync. If my wife and I were on the same iCloud account, we would be getting each others iMessages and phone calls. The developer should make clear in the description that this is only good for one person to manage their bank accounts, not for husband and wife to do so. I love the app otherwise. But I won’t be able to use it if we can’t truly family share as it was advertised. I want my $4.99 back. Can’t give this a very good rating due to false advertising. The developer did not address what I wrote in my review. So I updated my review and lowered my score to one star. Be warned: Family Share does not mean family sync, making the family share feature worthless to me.

Easy, simple app. I like the app a lot. Just downloaded today. I believe I used to use the first Accounts app years and years ago. I switched to PocketMoney at some point but they haven’t been great, and I haven’t been happy with them for years. My only question is, on the main accounts page, is there a way to change the balance that shows? I add future transactions for some accounts so I can see my month end balance, but when I do, I still want to see the current balance on the main accounts screen, but instead it shows the balance at month end. I’d like to be able to choose the balance that is shown, but I can’t find a way to do that. Thanks!

Doesn’t sync. I have been using this app for years, but only on my iPad, because I could never get it to sync to my iPhone! I installed the new accounts 3 and it was finally syncing! I was so happy! But this morning I reconciled my account on my iPad and went to check my phone. Nope. Phone numbers totally different! I even closed the app and reopened it. Waited. Nope. No sync! I only have one iCloud account. An iPad and iPhone I’ve had for over three years. Nothing should be keeping it from syncing. Other than this problem it’s a great app and I will continue to use it. Unfortunately, only on my iPad. Should something happen to that I’m screwed.

Questions & Suggestions. I have several questions and suggestions that I would like pass on to you. First of all I would like to say that this a very good financial app. I started using apps like this in 1991 so I have a lot of data accumulated. I only had a PC at the time I started and now I use a Mac, iPad, iPhone, and a second iPad and iPhone that my wife uses. We use the same iCloud account. Questions After entering a transaction on one device it will show up on a second device but not all four. Why do I always have to do a backup to iCloud to keep all devices in sync? If, for example, my wife enters a transaction on one or her devices an I add a transaction to one of my devices, will a backup delete one of the transactions? This is why I would like to see auto backup to iCloud Can I make sub categories? Suggestions It would be nice to see Recurring Transactions linked to the Calendar as another way to see when they are due. It would be great to see syncing done automatically. No manual backup to mess with. I would like to see a Mac app. Anything happening on this in the future? It would be nice to see a way to use data from a different app via any method. Two of my accounts have over 10K transactions. It has taken me two weeks to copy two years from seven accounts of data from the app I have been using. Thanks for your consideration from the above. Keep up the good work. You do have a beautiful app. Wayne Andersen

Love this app. Updating from Accounts 2 to 3 using “Local Data Transfer” was fast, easy and accurate (using ver. 2 of this app). I am hoping syncing with my iPad will improve over using Accounts 2. I found that to be hit or miss if all entries would transfer over. I like the change in selecting dates in this version having a month view rather than scrolling the wheel. I agree with another reviewer having the option of syncing via Dropbox would be on the top of my wish list. I have several accounts I use in Accounts 3 for, but my one primary checking account I share with my wife. Obviously since we have separate iCloud accounts, I cannot sync with her. One minor annoyance… in setting the TIME for a reoccurring transaction, say for 12:05 AM, I have to choose “12” and the window closes. I have to go back to scroll to “05”, it closes, then go back a third time to select “AM”.

Transferring 2 to 3. I tried the local transfer of data from 2 to 3 and screen looks like things are transferring but nothing happens.. Q&A makes no mention of what happens.. Update: My ver. 2 file was over 100mb, email was not available but backup file was created and saved locally. I was able transfer from 2 to 3 before developers response. Used email method to export data in 2 and use restore data in 3 using local, Instructions were very sketchy, but eventually all worked out. Using ver. 3 now

Good Program - Rock Solid. I used accounts 2 for several years. Accounts 3 has made made some improvements that are good. I have 3 suggestions. 1. Is that the reoccurring would allow splits and save them for the next occurrence. 2. Is that the reoccurring transaction coming up would show in the register maybe a week or 2 before they occur. That would give me an accurate picture of the future. Maybe they could be pending or something. My 3rd suggestion would be a transaction with a split between a category and a transaction. I.e. a loan payment - a transfer against the loan and interest to a category. Those 3 improvements would make this close to perfect for my situation.

Can’t share from account 3 to partner account 3. After installing accounts 3, I cannot share a transaction from my Accounts3 to my partners, newly installed accounts 3. Been using accounts 2 for many years with no problem. Now that I have the two new accounts 3, when I try to share from my Accounts3 he tried to put it on my partners old accounts 2. When she deleted her accounts 2 app, when I try to send her a transaction, it indicates there is no destinations for the transaction. I tried to send. I am regretful that I installed accounts 3, unless you can give me a solution to where I can share transactions from my Accounts3 app to her Accounts3 app. Please respond ASAP. I have a lot of data that I do not want to lose. SADLY AS A SATISFIED USER OF ACCOUNTS 2, I HAVE TO SAY WITHOUT A CUSTOMER SUPPORT REP TO TALK TO ON A FLAW ON THE ACCOUNTS 3 APP, I HAVE TO SAY I REGRET INSTALLING IT WITH NO WAY TO GO BACK TO T ACC 2 APP. I will gladly change my rating if someone will contact me and help me resolve this issue. I’m sending this again. I really did like the Accounts 2 app, but there isn’t any advantage to Accounts 3. Since the app developer doesn’t respond, I feel that there is very poor or no customer service. I noticed that there are other reviews that have not received a response. Possibly a decent product, terrible customer service.

Good App Overall. This is a good app overall. I used Accounts 2 and recent updated to 3. Love that I do not have to pay month by month. Also love that it can sync using iCloud between devices. I would recommend that if you are doing a banking day, you should keep both devices open. If it gets too far behind on one device, it won’t sync as well. One recommendation for the developer - A way to archive old transactions (like 2 years and older) would be great. That is the only piece that is missing in my opinion.

Help Needed. Have questions after reading over deleting a bank account. I created the same bank account a second time because the first version was never balancing out. After creating the second account with the full bank name where the first account was created with bank initials; I want to delete the first account created but am afraid it will also delete the transactions in the second account. As of now, I am seeing duplicates in the second account. Need to speak with someone for more clarity.

App stopped working & there is No technical support!. I’ve written multiple reviews over the past week trying to get the developers attention that I need technical support help. I see they have responded to other inquiries yet here I am still can’t get any help & it’s been over a week!! I can’t find any other technical support avenues outside of this review area. The app stopped working over a week ago. I find all the files on my phone but the app shuts down & doesn’t load. I’ve been using accounts 2 & 3 for 10 years & I’ve never had any issues until now. I can’t access any of my financial information & I’m completely lost not to mention all the current & history I can’t access now. I really wish the developer of this app would respond and make an effort to help me out but since they haven’t, I’m finding a different way to start over.

Few upgrades. I don’t know what happened to the latest update but when entering a transaction and switching back and forth screens causes me to lose the previous transaction trying to enter. It’s also starting to freeze up and not respond. Have deleted and reinstalled and still same issue. Not phone only the app. I would love to see an option to move the recurring section of bills in a dated order chronologically or for it to automatically in order like the checking. I’ve been using this app for many years and now all my family members also use it for budget reasons and etc. Maybe an option to HIDE accts instead of having to delete to keep the main acct face clean. When it’s paid off and not being used it tends to clutter up the main face. I realize you are probably limited as to what you can do but I would even be willing to pay for an upgraded version to have multiple features. Thanks Cindy

Favorite App. A new Accounts3 app??? Ummmm….yeah!!! Pay for the full version. It is a few dollars, but worth it! I have used the Accounts2 app for YEARS. It is so easy to use, and since I can easily record everything coming and going from my accounts, I have avoided any accidental overdrafts. The bank sometimes takes several days to clear a withdrawal, but I can record it and set the date a few days in the future. When the transaction clears the bank, I simply update the date, and mark the entry as cleared. It is so easy to check everything on a daily basis and keep my accounts on track. I like that the app remembers my common deposits and withdrawals so I type in a letter or two and my list of stores or bills pops right up. Also, after buying the new Accounts3 app, I was able to transfer my info from Accounts2 to Accounts3 with a local transfer. A few clicks and I’m ready to roll. Thank you to the developers. You make keeping track of my spending so simple. If you are looking for a user friendly way to track your accounts, buy this app!

Having issues with Accounts 3 on iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.0.2. Long time user. Upgraded from Accounts 2. I have notice that the most recent version on my iPhone 14 is often unresponsive. It will work fine for a minute or so and just freeze, like when checking a transaction during reconciliation. If you wait a minute or two, it will begin working again. It’s frustrating. Also I have noticed my device battery begins to heat up while using the app. This happens on my iPad Air 4th gen as well running iOS 15.7. Love the app but the latest version has an issue that needs to be resolved.

Checkbook register. I started using app in 2017. After a few months of doing the reconcile. I really like the app. I always do a backup before I reconcile just incase I have issues I can go back. Then once it is completed. I backup again. I have a before and after backup. Accounts2 is the app that I have been using. I just updated to Accounts3 but looks like most items work the same as the older version. With all the ways we are able to spend our money it is nice to have my register on my phone so I can update it as I am spending money.

A wishlist feature. I have been using Accounts for a very long time. Over 13 years. I immediately picked this up when I saw it pop up in the app. For using Accounts for so long means I have a lot of transactions in the Accounts database. What I find incredibly annoying is when adding a new entry the auto complete includes places I have not purchased from in many years. I wish I could set a drop off point to only list entries in autocomplete from a specific amount of years. Then at the bottom of the list a show more option for items past that date. This would shrink my auto complete by a large margin.

It’s Worth Sharing. This app has really helped me to stay organized without always having to stop and login to my accounts. I had the previous version of the app and the one upgrade that I was looking for was the ability to move a transaction across accounts without first deleting it and re-entering it. The new version Accounts3 has it and I’m all the happier! I had my niece (millennial) to download it and she loves it! She’s even told her friends about the app! It’s money management at your finger tips!

Database not transferring.. I wish to move the database from Accounts2 on my iPhone SE over to Accounts 3 on my new iPhone 12 that has a different Apple ID. I believe this prevents me from using the ‘Local’ transfer option so I have tried doing it using Mail Drop. The email arrives on the new phone just fine along with the download link and I can download the Accounts2 database file by tapping that link. Once the download is complete I can then tap the link again and my new phone gives me the option to select which app I want to open the database in. I select Accounts 3 by tapping the icon. I then see that the Accounts 3 app imports the data base (its 94MB and it seems to happen EXTREMELY fast, so I am suspicious if it actually did anything). Then the app informs me that I need to exit and restart it. When I do that, the app restarts and gives me a message that it is initializing the database. Once it is complete there is nothing shown. None of my check register transactions are shown. None of my accounts are there, nothing…. Can anyone help?

Great App - Much Superior to PocketMoney. For many years, I used the PocketMoney app that was created by Hardy Macia. Loved that app. However, with new ownership things changed. Their cost structure didn’t meet my needs. So I found Accounts2 and was very pleased. Months ago updated to Accounts3 which has been great. It’s my online checkbook where I track all financial transactions. I love this app ! Message to developer - A big thank you for being a very cost effective and powerful financial app to monitor financial transactions.

Long Time User / Old Quirk. I’ve been using the Accounts app for over a decade now. I love the control you have and can really budget and input future expenses you anticipate. All in all a 5 star app. For the developers, can you fix something that’s been a quirk since day 1? When you have recurring expenses, you can select the time it gets added to an account. However, once it does do that, then the time for the next ones get reset to midnight. So I had an expense load today at 3:05am eastern and when I check the next recurring, it’s the right day but 12:00am. That would be a nice fix. Additionally, when a recurring expense occurs in a different time zone, it resets the time based on that time zone. So if I’m on the west coast and a recurring expense gets added, it resets to midnight and then when I go back to the east coast the time is now not midnight but 9pm. This is why I use 3am for my times so it happens “overnight” regardless of my time zone, in the continental US anyway.

Message to developer. I could not find how to reach out. I do love the new option to switch an entry to a different account. Major upgrade from Accounts2. Accounts to so had a feature that I missed terribly. When you would enter a value, if you had to switch screens or be interrupted for a minute, you would come back and the value was where you had left off. All the data was still in. I will update my review and give it to five stars as soon as I hear back from the developer. Otherwise, I have recommended this app to countless people. Another feature that would be amazing. Would be to be able to share it on family. And have the data sync. That would be an upgrade I would gladly pay for.

Awesome app!. I’ve been using this app for many years for planning out my budget. I use it like a “Faux” checkbook register. I have all my credit cards listed so I can track my purchases as I’m making them and have those be deducted from my balance I have listed. I also have split out areas for budget planning so I know how I’m splitting up my paychecks. This is in no way connected to my bank account. Just a great tracking device. It does the adding and subtraction for me so I can balance my numbers with the actual money in my checking or savings account. I know exactly how much I’ve put aside for gifts, bills and fun! Highly recommend!

A suggestion…. Thank you, developer for the recent updates. The app is keeping improving for me. I have a suggestion: It would be great if the deposit/refund entries within individual accounts would be green or at least to have a choice to have them green. I think it would have a positive effect on the fun factor. I feel that in the accounts main list the positive balances should have the choice of having them black. Also in color themes I like red because that’s the only one (other than default) that doesn’t switch the background color. I think leaving the background neutral would be much better. Thank you!

Love this app, small request. I’ve been using this app for years and wouldn’t change to another! The features are great and I love the new updates, totally worth the few extra dollars, thank you! There is one feature that no longer works and it’s always been one of my favorite features: the ability to change the time of my recurring charges/deposits. I use this to list my different accounts in order in the recurring section, but now they are all set for midnight and I can’t change them. Is there anyway to give back the ability to set a specific time? Thank you for your help!

Really like. I really like using this app! It gives me exactly what I need without giving too much!! I use this everyday! I’ve downloaded so many apps and this one fits the bill for me. The only thing I wish it did is when you are searching for something in the “categories”. I wish a drop-down list of all the categories you are using would show up instead of me having to type the name in. I don’t always remember the category names especially when I am using so many. Otherwise, great app to keep track of your money!!

Off-and-On User. Was a huge fan of Accts 2, but stopped using it just because the sync between devices was not reliable enough. The is one of the, if not THE, best value for the money for a high caliber echeck book manager. (AND, no subs!) So there's my kudos ... Just before Accts3 came out I was thinking of returning to Accts2, and it's been a few years since I've used it. So the question of the moment is: Can I import some AAP databse, like CSV etc. directly into, (or indirectly), Accts3? And if yes, then how? Thanks for a great product and being a good example to your fellow software developers.

Excellent finance tracking program!. This program has worked flawlessly for my financial tracking purposes. I use it as a check register. I understand many people aren’t bothering with this “chore” - they just watch their accounts at online banking sites. I’m “old school” and grateful for the option this app provides. Again, it has functioned as designed and there have been no issues. RECOMMENDATION: For “recurring” transactions, initiate the option to have transactions whose date falls on weekend or holidays to occur automatically on Friday preceding or on Monday (or) following a weekday Federal holiday.

Emailing backups.. My wife and I use the app to keep track of our balances. I keep the master copy and email her the backup copy so she can have the correct account information. But lately when she gets the email with the backup the app does not overwrite the old information. If wife disables Face ID and passcode before restoring via email, the update works. But if Face ID and passcode enabled the restoring via email does not work. Also, when I try to send a backup, the app sometimes does not open an email so I can send a backup. I have tried restarting my device, closing the app and reinstalling the app. I am using the latest version of the app and iOS 16.0.3 I cannot access the support forum via your Facebook page. The link on your support page does not go to your Facebook page.

Transferring Data. I am trying to transfer by data via email and it keeps telling me to go to setting and set my email address. Well I have done this literally 20 times and it still states that I don’t have an email setup. I need to transfer my data for taxes and my appointment is Monday afternoon. Can you please at least call me or let me know how to get this app to accept my email address. I even tried another email to see if it was just rejecting my email. THIS IS URGENT. I have been using this app for years and this is the first time I have ever had an issue with it. Please help. ASAP!!!!!

Great light-weight account tracker!. I’ve been using the Accounts app in some form since 2011. There’s rarely a day that goes by that I don’t need to use it for something. I just found out about v3 and bought the upgrade immediately. I love having all my spending history at my fingertips. Not only is it handy to figure out how much is spent, but when/where it was spent. The statistics available are comparable other finance apps, and the newer backup options definitely make it a polished app. If your looking for a simple and versatile way to track financial transactions, without being in your face or attempting an upsell, this is the app for you!

Great checkbook app - long time user. I have been using the Accounts app since 2013, and it has been an invaluable financial tool. Just found out about this new update, and downloaded immediately. I am already using some of the new features, which fix many of my small pet peeves about the old app. My 9+ years of data imported perfectly - was up and running in minutes. Love this app and will continue to support this dev!

Love app but hope they add a couple things. I love that you added a transfer feature to make it a one step to input vs old platform. I would love if the check numbering would stay with accounts attached to.. I have 2 checking accounts and whatever the last account I write a check for it applies numbering to all checking accounts. So I have to constantly input a check number. Would be nice if it remembers numbering per account. Your email response makes no sense on this. Me having to type each number is what is a pain. So I know I can edit and type the right check number.. I have checked everywhere to see if it will retain check numbers for each account and it doesnt….

Love the app but have a question. I’ve used the various versions of this app for years. Excellent features that allow me to quickly balance my accounts down to the penny. I do have question…recently installed on another iPhone using my iCloud family share account. It recognized I had it installed on other devices within my iCloud family share account. However, when I try to download the database it tells me it can’t find it on iCloud. The database was uploaded by another device on my family iCloud share account using a different Apple ID…but if it’s part of my family share group shouldn’t it find it?

Good, could be better. This is a great app, I’ve just bought it and overall I’m pleased with how everything is organized, but if this couple important features would be added, this could be a really great app. It really needs to have the following: (1) when you create a new payment entry, you should be able to click on the Memo within the entry, and see it entirely in a big window if it’s a long note - this is something that bothers me a lot because many of my Memos are longer than you can see on that little window and there’s no way you can see a Memo in it’s entirety and read it from beginning to end; very difficult to edit, too; you need to slide the cursor left/right in that little box to be able to read/edit it; (2) the payment entries should be split by months and be able to collapse or expand them, this way you can skip time periods when you search a past entry, otherwise you have to keep scrolling over hundreds of entries to reach a few years back; I’ll have to take the time to save all of my entries from 2017 up to now because the app I’ve used before has been abandoned and I need to have all the history on this app, so that’s quite a few years to scroll over hundreds, or even thousands of entries….and it’s only getting bigger as years pass. Plz make these happen and this’ll be a 5***** app.

Wish it would separate accounts into categories. I used to have “Piggy Bank” & absolutely LOVED it, but the developer died & couldn’t update it so it just died, so I needed a new checkbook, although I like this one and that it autosubstracts/autoadds each entry and lists in descending order by date, I really wish I could separate accounts and show its sum total. For example, all retirement funds would be under “Retirement” w a total; all kids savings accounts would be under “Kids Funs” with sum total; all savings/ money market accounts would be under “Saving” with sum total for those accounts. It’s good to have them all totaled at the bottom but not helpful at a granular level so I use another “Checkbook” for the granularity to divide accounts into groupings…

Great app. Been using for years now and it’s a great tool to keep track of how I’m spending my money. One suggestion is that when I post a recurring transaction early I would like to specify the date or have the system default to the date on the recurring transaction. I post all the recurring transactions that will hit my checking account on the 1st if the month so I have an estimate of how much I have left it when I will need to transfer money from savings. I end up having to go and fix the dates in each transaction because it always defaults to the current day.

Love the new features in Accounts 3 except one. Love all the new features in Accounts 3. They streamlined logging on, correcting transactions that were accidentally entered into the wrong account, etc. However, there is one feature in the Recurring Transactions that I am frustrated with. I cannot customize the actual time a recurring transaction comes out of my account. I can change the date, but it automatically enters the current time in the “time” field and it won’t let me change it. Most of my EFT’s come out overnight, and I’d like Accounts 3 to post them overnight as well. Other than that, I find Accounts 3 to be a big improvement over Accounts 2.

Almost there!. Great new update! However—-would like to see a a few more features added: 1) “Last day of the month” for recurring transactions. Nice for interest deposits. 2) Have the following three options when you press the clock thingy on a recurring item: “Post with today’s date” “Post with scheduled date” “Cancel” OR, best of all, 3) Have the option to have a recurring transaction automatically posted 10 days before the scheduled date--but with the scheduled date. That would get you 5 stars for sure, Steve! 😊 Thanks.

Happy to pay for the upgrade. I’ve been using Accounts2 for a couple years now and love it - use it daily to see my accounts without having to log into my credit union. And reconciling is easy by ticking off each transaction. I was more than happy to pay for the upgrade especially for the function to now be able to take a pic of a receipt and have it stored with the transaction. My only wish is if there were an app for my Mac to sync between my iPad and it.

Been using Accounts 2011.. Great app, I use it every day. I do have some suggestions though. Number one would be folders. I’m tracking a lot of accounts and folders would help immensely for organization. The ability to select an entire folder to not include in balance total would be nice as well. Number two would be more icons. There are many accounts I track that just don’t have an icon I like. An option to use emoji’s as the icons would be ideal.

New update wrecked my checking account. After the last update my checking account went $178 less than what my bank showed. It was perfect before the update. I know this is correct since I use a different program on my MacBook and it balances with my bank. I went through all my transactions and there were no discrepancies between this app and my bank. But, the app was showing less $$ than my bank. I went to download my accounts from the cloud and it said the last database was from 10/13. I was going to reenter all the entries from then back into the app. It was perfect then. Well, it wiped out all my data and did NOT enter the database. I would have to start from scratch. I am not doing this. Deleting the app. I loved this app and was using it for over 3 or more years.

Scheduling post date of recurring items would be great. This is an excellent app that I’ve used a few years now. From time to time my ipad and iphone won’t sync properly, but it’s been pretty easy to resolve. My only wish list item would be the addition of a post date to recurring items. I don’t like recurring items posting the same day they are due, so I’m forced to schedule them to when I want them to post and then modify it to the pay date.

Sudden Sync problems and no contact fir support. Update- I opened the app on download device and all the numbers are now correct. So I've updated the star rating because, except for this one time, the app has functioned perfectly. A support contact would have meant 5 stars. I've been a fan for years,no issues, today both my and my husbands sync efforts, 2 devices and separate apps, resulted in wonky numbers on download devices. All accounts are missing transactions going back to late 2022. The Facebook page identified in desc doesn't seem to exist, no help on website. I sure would miss this app.

Worth the upgrade from ver. 2 !. Many small but helpful usability/interface improvements from v.2. Good support for iCloud sync and backups. Data import from v.2 was easy and worked well. Calendar view for entering dates is much faster and easier. An excellent chequebook app…well worth the $! Update….after using the app for a few days I have found that the iCloud sync is not 100% reliable….it usually works, but sometimes entire entries fail to sync, also the “cleared” check marks sometimes do not sync to other devices. I wish there was some way to contact the developer directly with a bug report rather than having to post it here!

Like The Upgrade. I have been using the previous version forever, but decided to upgrade. New version is more modern and clean looking, data input is upgraded in small ways, and I really like that Recurring Transactions can now be entered early with just a click. Not huge differences, but worth the small amount for the uograde. I have been with Accounts for a long time and it has always been totally reliable so I am happy to support them.

Acct 3 new feature. It’s so easy now to correct entry from wrong acct to correct in one smooth icon. Colors for debit/ credit now red/ green is also better feature. Plus breeze to change transaction order to match bank statement is available.

Wish items. Good app, None better for simplicity and performance. Wouldn’t mind seeing an option to sync over Drop box so that 2 people don’t have to be on same iCloud. Also a desktop version with drop box sync would be handy.

Best app ever!. I have been using Accounts 2 for a couple of years now and upgraded to Accounts 3 only to support developer. Love the app. Moving from 2 to 3 couldn’t be easier. Worth 10 times what they are charging. (Should I just delete the Accounts 2app on my phone?)

Nice changes. Nice changes for the new Accounts3 except I wish I could set my pay schedule. I usually get paid twice a month on weird days so it’s not your typical 15th and 30th or 1st and 30th, so it either shows up way early and throws everything off. Otherwise I like all the changes with this new app.

The BEST account app for everyday use. This is the best app for everyday use. I have been using iterations of this app for years and have had no issues with it. Therefore, when this new release came out, I didn’t hesitate to go ahead and buy it. Just as I hoped, the data transfer was seamless and the app upgrades are fantastic!! If you want an easy to use account app at a great price and great features, download this!

Why not update the old app?. I really don’t know why you had to make a whole new app? Why did I have to pay for a new app? When you could’ve just updated the original app to include the updates that you made on Accounts3? Once I changed over I realized there weren’t that many differences in the new one as far as I’m concerned. It works just about the same for me and how I used it. Other than that, I really like the app. I was satisfied with the old one. I should’ve just kept that one.

Best Checking App Ever!. I’ve tried several different checking apps but none are as comprehensive and intuitive as this one. The new features in the latest version are wonderful and show that the developers are putting lord of thought and effort into improving the app. I can’t recommend this highly enough!

Good but needs some tweaks. Please add the ability to change settings to show either “total cleared”, “total outstanding”, or “balance” on ALL accounts list. I’d like to see what has cleared versus always looking at wrong balance if one has entered transactions into accounts way into the future. A feature I thought has been lacking since the first accounts app and I’ve tried to request numerous times

App Crashed. Great app when working but it has locked up on me and I have done everything I know to do to get it working again. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it and downloaded the backed up data from iCloud but its still not working. If I could get some help from the developer that would be great!

Syncing. Still doesn’t sync between devices, hasn’t done it consistently since the app was first released, super frustrating… Only works the first couple times, then you change the data on your phone and open it on your iPad your iPad doesn’t update…

Great app, reluctant to delete Accounts 2. Have been using Accounts 2 for a couple years and wanted to check out 3. Love this app. I have both now on my iPhone and iPad. Reluctant to delete Accounts 2 app since iCloud cannot update Accounts 3 data (download) from Accounts 2 upload. Am I missing something ?

Simple, Yet Important App. Love this app and its other iterations! Been a user since 2008. Did notice that in one of my accounts, a bunch of the earliest entries from way back in 2008 have the year listed as 2022. But they still appear sequentially where they should be. So they are really just mislabeled by year. Not sure why that is. But not a big deal. App is still great. Keep up the good work!

Highly recommend this checkbook app. I have been using this app for a few years now. This has proved invaluable to me. It’s great I can sync from all my devices and can see a snapshot of my current finances in a flash. For the price you pay, this app is completely worth it and I’d highly recommend it.

Great except for sync. I’ve been using this app for about 3 years and it works great on the iPhone to track bank account. Like the ability to have scheduled deposits and expenditures. My only issue is having all the details sync to my iPad. Some items don’t come across and when theentries come across the reconciliation check is often missing.

Excellent step forward.. Wanted to support developer, purchase the upgrade, and there’s no looking back. Same feel, same features, plus everything they have added to it it’s only a positive step forward. Simply saying great app, absolutely no better. Accounts 2 was great, this is great with the upgrades. Thank you for supporting the app, for a small fee it’s definitely worth it.

Semi Monthly Reoccurring Transaction. I would like to be able to set up a semi monthly or multiple monthly transactions where you can set the actual date they occur on. For instance, I am paid in the 15th and last day of the month. But the app will only let me pick things like “2nd Friday” or “every 2 weeks”.

Family Sharing Needed. To share information on Accounts 3, you have to have both devices signed into the same Apple ID. This is not “family sharing.” My wife and I use the COZY app for calendar, grocery lists etc, and we use two separate Apple IDs. So the technology exists…it’s just not available on Accounts 3. It would be helpful and useful if it did. Any plans to upgrade the app to accommodate this feature?

Awful app. I have had the order version of this app for 6 years and loved it. I downloaded the new one and have tried everything to move the data over to the new app. Nothing has worked!! It says preparing data base but it never appears on account 3

Transfer of data. I recently purchased Accounts 3 and was not able to transfer data from my Accounts 2 app. Both reside on the same iPad. As suggested I opened Accounts 2, went to settings and selected NEW Accounts 3. From the pop up I chose Local Data Transfer. Nothing happened. By nothing I mean that no data appeared in Accounts 3. I even tried to e- mail data but still no data. I guess I am stuck using Accounts 2 until it stops working.

Excellent checkbook but a glitch. This is a very easy to use checkbook account tracking and reconciliation app, my favorite. One problem is that when setting up a deposit payee and setting it to “+” with a category stored in the list, the entry always enters the value as a “-“ entry and it has to be modified every time. This is despite recreating and saving another version of the saved payee.

Like to see. I like this app very much. There are 2 things I miss from the other app I was using. I would like to be able to duplicate a transaction and also be able to search transactions. I found the search option after I did this post. The search does work.

Where have you been all my life!. What the Big Q used to be 30 years ago. It does automatically what you tell it to do and you fill in the rest. It doesn’t go through all your accounts and screw them up and it can actually do basic math functions correctly. Best of all it doesn’t threaten to lock me out if I don’t renew a subscription. The way an app should be!

Unable to change time in recurring transactions. This is my go to App for keeping track of my finances day to day. With new update, when I use the recurring feature, it defaults to the time I created the item and there is no way to change it.

Copy, paste and then edit. User since 2011. Great app! Would love to be able to copy and paste an entry and then edit. For example, I bought the same Christmas gift for 5 different people and the company made 5 different charges. I had to enter each one separately instead of being able to copy and paste.

No improvements that help me. I bought the new app because you should be able to move an item by touching n entry and arrange your expenses so they match your bank account. I have always thought this would make balancing your checkbook easier. I even sent a request for this several years ago. I thought I saw this feature on the add I received so I bought it. So far I have been unable to make any entries around. So either I can’t figure out how to do it or it’s not possible.

why is there limited options when I use my iPad?. I purchased this app to use on my iPad, but have come to find out that I don’t have all the options that I would have if I downloaded it to my phone! On my ipad I don’t have the option to set a re-occurring payment, I see the option is available on a phone? Can’t it be available on the iPad as well? That is very disappointing

Love This App. I love this app, it makes keeping my checkbook in balance so easy. I do have a couple of suggestions. On recurring payments it would be nice to have the date you want it to post to your checking account and the date when the payment will be drafted out of your account. Additionally, for payees with split payments, the payee name is not retained and has to be typed in each time. I would like to see that fixed.

User for 5+ Years. Been using this app for years and happy. Only reason why I gave 4 stars, everything isn’t perfect and growth is Always happening. With that said, recommend two things. Add the ability to search for a line item with in each category vice switching between pages. Example: if I create an account and have 2 years of entries, I should be able to stay on the page and search, not switch to another page and then back and forth. Another option, add the ability to “Select all” vice having to check each box one at a time. Keep the goal moving forward. Your app, although not perfect, is always moving in the right direction.

Great, reliable app. I’ve been using Checkbook 2 for several years. It has been spot on accurate, and has never let me down. I always wished there would be a better interface for date selection, and now we’ve got it. Wonderful upgrade to an already great application. Highly recommended!

Soo close. I’ve used Accounts2 for years and just moved to Accounts3. I’ve loved it for years with one small exception. I was hoping for the ability to have the spending by categories report net out return type-transactions but I don’t see that yet. Is that something that may be coming in the future?

Even better than I realized. I’ve tried a lot of different check register apps and I always come back to this one. Ease of use, overview, and reporting is far superior to anything else I’ve tried. I recently discovered that I had missed a reporting feature that I had wanted… It was already integrated into the app, I just needed to scroll down! Excellent app.

Help!. I set my recurring charges, and it worked out just fine last month. I edited the timing of the charges in my checking account so that everything would post in order. I always do that. Today is payday. My income should’ve posted first, but it didn’t. Everything else was in order, but one bill didn’t show up at all. I couldn’t reorder the charges or add the missing bill. Now the whole thing is messed up and my current balance is wrong. Help!

Best Checkbook App Available. I have used this App for years. It is the best one out there. Beautiful design and simple to use. In addition to keeping up with your bank balances, you can set up all your auto draft bills to post automatically. This really helps with those yearly bills that are easily forgotten. You can track your spending and search any transaction you’ve entered. A powerful easy to use app with a lot of features.

Fair update. I was using Accounts2 for years. I was happy to update to Accounts3 and had no issues transferring over . My only issue is still have issues updating from one device to another. For example, I use my iPhone for most inputs but if I pick up my iPad after, it doesn’t pick up the changes even if I re sync iCloud or only syncs some of the changes.

Simplicity at glance. This might be my first review ever. When I saw a version 3 to purchase I didn’t even hesitate to give $ to the developer. I have to give credit where credit is due. This does the job of staying on top of transactions both pending and cleared. It’s simple and efficient. Thank you to the developer. I’m going on 10 years of using this APP from the earlier versions and expect further invested improvement.

Top-notch. Been using this app for 9 years and it still is the best I’ve used for expenses! Pease add the functionality to search within a certain account versus having your search include all accounts. The support forum is also down which is why I had to submit my suggestion with my review! 😇

How can I delete old transactions?. Love the app and have been using it since 2017. As such, I have years of old transactions that I don’t want to have to wade through any time I need to do research. Is there any way to purge records from my reconciled transactions by date range?

Trouble. My app is not working. It will show balances but I can’t click on anything. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling with no luck. Help! I am using OS 16.3.1 on an iPhone 12 Pro I see that you have an update on the app so I’ve deleted and reinstalled again. When trying to download my data, it says there’s nothing in the cloud to download. I have a backup that I emailed to myself back in February but when I upload that it goes back to me not being able to select anything. Please help. I’m at a loss and need my checkbook!

Help-entries can’t be exported from Ace3 to Accounts3. Great App but upon conversion from Accounts2 to Accounts3 I noticed I can no longer enter data in AceBudget3 and export the entry to Accounts3. I enjoyed that feature while using Accounts2 and am very disappointed it no longer works with the new version of Accounts. It doesn’t even make sense so I’m hoping I’m missing something to make it work like it did in prior versions.

Very user-friendly app!!. I’ve tried a few different checkbook register apps and this one has the best features all in one app!! Thank you for making Accounts3 available at an affordable price!! I just can’t see myself trying any of the apps that require a subscription, but am very happy to purchase a quality app after trial period to be sure it does what I need. Thank you!!

Can’t figure out why data will not transfer to accounts 3. I finally bit the bullet and paid to update to the new Accounts 3 app. I have been mostly happy with accounts 2. I have followed the directions several times to transfer data locally (on the same device), and by e mail 4 times. The local transfer is not working, and I don't seem to be getting the email file to update it (yes I checked my spam folder)…help me to understand what I am doing wrong. It shouldn’t be that hard.

Love the app, used it for years. I have been using Accounts for 10 years. This updated version has been working so much better than the previous version. The syncing between other Apple devices has been working much better than before. One thing I would like to suggest is allowing the option to use split view on ipads.

Only one complaint. Have used this app 11 years and love it. The only issue I have is the inability to delete payees from the auto populate drop down menu. Over time I’ve accumulated a large number of payees, some of which are simply mistyped variations of a single payee. Would be nice to have the ability to delete them.

It’s okay, but does not do what I need it to do.. The app itself seems okay, but not having the ability to sync transactions to anything other than iCloud makes the app useless for our needs. It’s a major pain having to sign in and out of my husbands iCloud account to sync transactions. It would be a more useful app if transactions could be synced to Google Drive or Dropbox. Apple’s iCloud, Apple ID setup is by far the most useless cloud storage out there.

Awesome update. Awesome update, thanks to the developers for not switching over to subscription base. I did not mind paying to upgrade from Accounts 2. Please keep up the great work you guys are doing. I look forward to more updated features like Airdrop backup to other devices, sync to other devices via wifi. Wish you guys continued success. 😃👍👏

best checkbook app i've used. honestly, accounts 2 was working just fine. but it's been years since i purchased it for a mere $2. i want to be able to use this app far into the future. so i decided to support the developer by purchasing this app as well. i did have a minor issue with transferring data from accounts 2. but it wasn't a big deal. the data transfer has to be initiated from the older version, which is a bit unintuitive. but it works. the initial attempt did not prompt me to import the data. but a second attempt from accounts 2 led to accounts 3 asking to import data. and i'm good to go.

Absolutely great, but syncing is unreliable. Sync worked great until recently, but is now completely unreliable. Some things sync, others don’t. I hated to do it, but I deleted the app from my phone and now just use it on my iPad. Absolute great app, but wish it could sync data accurately like it used to. Oh well.

Easy database transfer. I gave been using Accounts2 for YEARS. It is one of the things that helped me manage my money AND helped me jump credit ratings. Use it everyday. Database backup was so easy via email. Thrilled to support the developer who’s app really changed my life. Truly!

What Really has been updated. I have been using Accounts 2 for years and would wish they would have added some more reports. So when Accounts 3 came out, I was hoping for some new useful features like those, but it is basically the same as the older version with a slightly new look. I still love the product, but could you expand the search capability and reports? One good thing is that they did add a search by date function, which is nice.

Adding accounts from two banks?. I have used Accounts 2 for a couple of years and have been very happy with it. I had accounts from two banks on it. Recently I deleted one bank. I have upgraded to Accounts 3 and in setting it up, I want to re-add the bank I deleted. I forget how I did it before and can’t find a "how to" in the FAQ section. Question is: how can I add accounts from more than one bank. Thanks for responding.
