MyBonds App Reviews

Too simple, basic info not tracked. Thought this app would at least be as good as a simple program I downloaded to my computer in 2015, but far from it. First, I was expecting a more thorough accounting of my bonds. I’m wondering why it doesn’t cover certain minimum information. Like a real inventory. Should allow entry of the bond’s Serial Number, along with interest rate and yield, interest amount and current value, next interest date and final maturity date. Second, even though “serial” was on a bar at the bottom of the screen, I could find no way to actually enter the serial number of each of my bonds. Why? Third, there seems to be no way to print out a listing of my bonds. Hopefully an upcoming update will improve this basic tracking information. For $2.99, I expected more.

Love the App. But needs backup function. Overall, this app does a very good job, but it lacks two crucial components: backup and print out of databases. When it comes to protecting and maintaining your data, these two elements absolutely degrade this apps usefulness. Add these components and your app will be outstanding!

2 previous updates were absolutely useless. I already wrote a review about this issue and I’m sure that any user of this app has done the same. WHY are you not publishing these reviews??? People need to know that this app no longer does anything close what it used to!!! Now they publish a 3rd update! Are you kidding me??? They wiped out values, destroyed lists, and they don’t respond to inquiries. What are you doing about it??? KPage

Balance with TreasuryDirect?. Overall, app works great and "meets expectations or 4 stars" In this app, EE Bonds that are within the minimum 12 month holding period are NOT added into the portfolio value. Why? They still have a value of the purchase price even though unable to redeem per bond parameters. Please add value of these bonds into portfolio value so that I can balance back to TreasuryDirect! This feature would be great and would then earn an "exceeds expectations or 5 stars." Thanks for the nice app, easy to use, nice UI, look, and feel.

Good basic app. Works well. Would like it to have a few more data fields for the info on the bond. Also be nice to have some charts n graphs for interest growth over time - past and forecast. -- Good start

Needs to show Mature Bonds. Nice and easy app to use. Inputting information simple. My biggest gripe is that there is no indication of bond that is Mature. After a few months you might notice the overall value of a bond has not changed which might cause you to think app isn’t updating. When actually the bond has Matured and it is no longer gaining any Interest. Keep the updates coming.

Don't Bother. Was hoping for a camera scan serial #s to input bonds. Even if you manually input your sn#s it does not do anything to calculate your values. Basically you manually enter the dates. Better off to just use Treasury Direct

Please add interest rate data. Biggest weakness is the inability to see the interest rates of the bonds you have in your portfolio, but otherwise a helpful app.

Password protection bottom. I love this application, but I wish it had a password protection bottom so no one else will see my information.I will give it a 5 if it has a password protection.

Solid App - could use a couple features. This app works as advertised. But it could use a few features: 1. Needs to support FaceID for privacy. 2. Needs to backup to iCloud for recovery. 3. Ability to export/save/email the bond list for saving to my desktop computer.

What happened?. What happened to the Apple My Bonds app? After the recent update, my screen is blank.

Simple & Easy Way to Track My Bonds. I really appreciate how easy this app is to keep track of my bonds & their values.

Very good app!. Downloaded this app and entered my kids' bond info last night. Values and interest for the bonds were exactly the same as generated using the PC program from the government, SavingsBond Wizard. App easy to use, clean interface. I second the suggestion That it would be nice not to have to hit enter with the text field. I would also like bonds to be displayed by issue date (or at least be able to sort). Finally, in the portfolio summary in addition to value and interest could you give the face value of the portfolio as well?

Easy to Use. Enjoy the App. It would be nice if you could scan your bond and it would enter the date purchased and Serial number

Bond app. I like the app. But it can use a feature where money is added monthly to one bond instead of having to create new bond for the same initial account.

Interest posted on 1st day of the month. Interest posted on 1st day of the month on my I Bonds with the correct amount. Very please with the app.

Good app but currently broke. Simple, intuitive app that does one thing and does it well - tracks savings bonds. Unfortunately, it now crashes when you try to look at a particular bond or add a new one. Not sure if this is still being supported.

Glad to have it. I have been using this app for many years, it does what I need, and I am so happy to have it. I do wish there was a print option, though.

Update: App is fixed and works fine now. Didn’t load for a while but a fix corrected this and now works fine. A good app to track your bonds.

Not much functionality. Would be nice to include tbill etc to track all treasurydirect offerings.

Unable to add bonds to a new portfolio.. No matter how I enter the information it says no such bod was issued. There is no help screen, no true sample of how the added bond should look. On my windows PV I use SBW and it's great but I wanted to have the inventory on my iPad. Since I can't even enter one bond I would give it ZERO stars but it won't let me so I give it one.

Simple easy. Very easy to use. Logged all my bonds and it automatically adds the values for me. Thanks!

Good recent app for savings bonds.. My old app is out of date. Very happy to find this new one updated in 2017. Easy to use; format not quite as good as old app, but at least it's modern.

Now, Okie Dokie !!. Took approx. two weeks but finally, all previous, cogent info has been re-established to the I Bond Series. A most definite time saver and useful application.

Good App!. It’s so much easier to look at my bonds on this app compared to logging into the Treasurydirect website. My only complaint is that the app does not allow this use of decimals. While not a major inconvenience, I can always purchase in whole numbers, the option to use decimals would be nice.

App refuses to load. I paid the $2.99 for this app and it opened just fine for the first 2 days and then it stopped loading all together and drops back to my home screen. I tried restarting the phone and nothing works. Was really hoping to use this since the government dropped the program I used to use. I’m giving this 2 stars for the fact that when it did work I liked it, but now that it doesn’t I can’t give it more than 2 stars.

Useless. I just bought digital Series I bonds at very random values. This app doesn’t allow you to input a custom value - it predetermines the values for you. That may work for paper bonds, but not digital.

Not saving bonds. It's still not saving any bonds. Supposedly the issue was fixed but I'm still having problems. I love the app and really wish it would work like it's supposed to. ***UPDATE*** the new version 1.12 fixed all issues I was having saving my bonds. I'm completely happy with the app and will continue to recommend to my friends!!!

Could be better. I mistakenly thought this App would be able to scan the bond to read the information, saving the hassle of manual data entry for hundreds of savings bonds. Why else would one want to do this calculation on a phone? Disappointed. Hope the developer can add the camera feature. it’s common in lots of apps now.

Great app. My suggestions for improvement would be to add a field to be able to show bonds that are cashed in. I would suggest a field with redemption date and value, then set current value to zero. The current interest rate for each bond would be a nice additiin also. I use the tracker to know how much the bonds are worth before cashing them in at the bank.

Excellent!. This app is perfect. You actually CAN delete old profiles. Just slide your finger. Horizontally over the profile name to make the delete button appear. If one knows about bonds, then they will find this handy. A++:)

Now saving bonds. Pretty good app does all the basics pretty good. If you hit the return button after entering your serial number then it will save the information otherwise it forgets the info. I would like the program to remember the last values entered as it would make entering info easier.

Lacks security and portfolio totals. Absolutely needs to have a password added once the app is opened. Although it gives a total for each individual portfolio, it does not show the total for all portfolios combined. It also does not allow you to arrange the order of the portfolios. I will give it 5 stars once those items are addressed.

Great appp. Does outstanding job. What Treasury app should have been all along.

Good little app. Clever and easy, but what's with swipe to drlete? Cloud functionality coming soon?

Nice. Nice way to check/store savings bond portfolio. However a nice upgrade feature would be if it gave current interest rate for each bond you hold.

Good basic app. Overall a good app to enter your bond information. I would add a feature to sort report by group name. Maybe add a feature to mark a bond as redeemed.

Great little app. Great for my kids -- would love to see more functionality!

Permusoft is very responsive. After loading 86 EE and I bonds purchased between 1991 and 2007 in this app I got a chance to put it through its paces. It is a big improvement over the old, poorly supported US Treasury bond tracking website. I like the ability to load each individual bond's info once, and the tab on the bottom of each portfolio gives you the ability to rack and stack them in various ways. The printing function is also a big plus. An improvement request I sent to the developer was the ability to order by maturity date in each portfolio because I want to see at a glance when I should cash a bond. Also, on the first page I'd like to have the ability to arrange the portfolios manually instead of the haphazard way it appears now. I constructed my portfolios by each year of bond maturity so would like to see the several portfolio years displayed chronologically started from maturing next to maturing last. The developer answered my email quickly and I hope to see these added functions in future revisions.

Ed. Great tool for keeping track of US Bond values. Just having the values updated every month saves time.

Works. I was able to enter about 50 bonds in an hours time. Easy to use. I would love to see a feature that would tell you when the bond has reached its full value. (color coding or something)

Needs More Information Input. Would be nice if it turned sideways for iPad. Also should have a place to put the serial number and show the amount of interest that each bond pays

Printing?. I wish you could print out the list of your bonds

Does the job. Functions as you would expect. Solid app.

Farmer. App does everything I need it to do and is very accurate. Even better, the support staff is great. I found a minor bug, pointed it out to the them, they got back to me same day.....and an update to fix the problem was available in two business days. Good job, folks!

This app has quit working. quit working

Inventory & current values. As a simple tracker of what bonds you own and their current values, this gets the job done. Things that would greatly improve the usefulness of this app: - Display current rates on your bonds - Show significant dates (next accrual and final maturity) - Allow you to mark bonds as “cashed” rather than simply having to delete them from your inventory

Just what I needed. I jumped on the I Bond train when rates hit 9.62% and found this app as a way to avoid logging into the clunky Treasury Direct page. I was disappointed though because the app didn’t show updated values for bonds in the initial 12 month holding period. So if you were buying new bonds each year the values in this app would literally never be correct. I sent feedback to the developer and just noticed they corrected this “value during holding period” issue. I can’t say whether it was my feedback that prompted the update but I’m thrilled either way. 5/5 stars!

Interest Rate Info.. This is a simple and convenient app for bond values. Since the US Treasury no longer provides the Savings Bond Wizard program/app, it would be very helpful to have interest rate information available for the bonds (ex. - rate history, current rates, etc.). Thank you.

MyBonds is Awesome!!. This app is awesome and with the new sorting functionality makes it easy to use. Support is very responsive and can answer all my questions. 5 stars!!

App just crashes. It worked great for a couple of months and now will no longer load.

Savings Bonds. All my bond info disappeared yesterday! Where is all my info! Fail!

App is good for values and interest but no security. Very cool app for tracking savings bonds for my kids! But There is no password protection to keep data secure. That should be an easy one guys!

My Bonds. Lost my entire portfolio today (12/1/23). Tried to call support and saw that the phone was disconnected and HQ permanently closed.

Does what it says, missing easy features.... Nice app to see current value of saving bond portfolios. Missing features that would make it five star: 1) Password protection 2) Ability to store bond number 3) Ability to show current interest rate being earned 4) Sort bonds by interest rate being earned 5) Ability to send a single bond portfolio's information to another user of the app in a password protect file

Bond preservation. The ability to email the portfolio for save keeping would be a nice feature and password protected.

Great app. I just got it today and entered my Bonds and it worked perfectly. Great app. I am very impressed.

It’s fixed and back to a 5!!!. It’s fixed and back to a 5!!!

App won’t load.. I can’t retrieve my data.

App is unusable. The app crashes every time I try and add a bond.

Bond information disappeared. All my bond information disappeared! What's going on? Is this app being discontinued? I really loved this app before it crashed.

MyBonds. Worked just fine until recent update. Now can’t get app to open. Just reverts to icon and home screen. Can’t retrieve my info

No delete function?. This app allows you to create portfolios and bond entries, but you cant delete them....

Did not display correct total value.. Update seems to have fixed bug.

Can’t get in. I originally able to get in to the app and add my savings bonds. But now the app wants a pin code. I don’t see a way to reset it. I cannot find a link or phone number for customer support. Update 10/08/19: still can’t get access or reset PIN

MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. With the ending of support by TREASURY DIRECT of the US Savings Bond Wizard this is the only game in town if you want to keep your US Savings Bond Portfolio up to date!!! Bravo!!!

Do not buy this app. Loaded with bogus portfolios containing over a thousand bogus bonds. Even if you go through the time and effort to delete each bond one by one you can’t delete the portfolios. I will not load my data into this app. Could get mixed with someone else’s data.

All data gone!!. Don't rely on this. Read the reviews. Data constantly lost. Epic Fail.

Nice!. Nice app, will give 5 starts if I can delete option and sort option. Thank you.

App won’t open. Click on app thinks for a minute the just blinks back to my main screen! NOTHING!

Good little app. Clever and easy, but what's with swipe to drlete? Cloud functionality coming soon?

Can you trust it not to lose your data?. Before you spend hours and hours entering dozens of bonds, consider if the iPod / iPhone / iPad series of devices are where you want to store sensitive and important data. I learned early on that data you enter into iPad / iPhone apps is very suspect. Where is the file saved? Can you back it up and restore it? Can you open the iphone's drive and find it? Can you put it on a thumb drive and move it somewhere safe? No. You are at Apple's mercy. I've had apps that I added unique information to lose all my data during updates. You can't roll back to previous versions and you can't restore data. It's just gone. Apps that do fun stuff like calculate tips or a provide dictionary definitions or listen to and identify songs or turn the iPhone into a bubble level are great. But you aren't asking those apps to store your data in some unknown place in some unknown format. Be forewarned: if you trust an i-device to maintain hours of data input, you will be sorely disappointed. At some point you will perform a firmware update or an app update and you will lose your hard-entered data...and have absolutely no idea where it went, where it was supposedly "backed up" to by iTunes or how to recover it. Then too you should consider data security. Apple reserves the right to kill apps even after you purchase and install them. How do you know Big Brother isn't also snooping into private data? Have you read the End User Agreement you agree to every time you update to a new version of iTunes? No? Me neither. Nobody does. Rest assured it only protects Apple, not your privacy. And they take no responsibility for lost data. I have nothing against this Savings Bond app. I have but don't use this app because I know that custom data you take hours to input into an i-Device will likely disappear eventually... and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Have fun with your iPad. Don't trust it with important and time consuming data.

Good Concept. Good concept but had to delete it immediately since it wouldn't save my bond information. Tried to input different types of bonds, even the bond numbers given in the snapshots but nothing could be saved..

Awful. Won't save. Waste of a download

Exactly what us needed.. Simple but accurate.

App not working. Been a good app. However, no longer works. No customer service info on web site.

Ugh. Let me add one bond to my inventory. When I tried to edit and add more bonds the app shut down, several times. Waste of money.

My bonds. Need a tutorial badly. Help.

Handy little app. Does precisely what you expect, no more, no less.

Extremely helpful. A great app!

Great app!. This app is really easy to use! Nice to have it all in one spot!

App just crashes upon opening. App worked the first time I opened it. Loaded a few bonds to try it out and now whenever I click on the app to open it just crashes

No delete function. The product does not allow you to delete any bonds.

Good. Everything works great but it would be nice to have a projected value option :)

Bond app reviews. Avery simple but concise app...very nice

Do not purchase!. I purchased this app despite the low rating. BIG MISTAKE! It does not work at all. Will not save any data.

Doesn’t work with IOS 11.4. This looks like a cool app. My dad left a ton of US Savings Bonds and I thought this would be the ticket. Sadly, can’t get it to load and crashes like the Stock Market in ‘29. Will have to see if an update fixes this issue and then reevaluate.
