Chekchek 4+

I’ve tried a few, some costly, and this is the best next thing to a paper check register as far as simplicity goes. Only wish it had a few more features like choosing the dollar amount format i.e. $$.$$. Dollars and cents auto-formatted so you could just type in figures and numbers and the program would automatically place the decimal point as dollars and cents. Like Excel can do with customizing how one wants to treat number entries.
Also in the “check number” column, allow text to be entered, not only numbers. Sometimes under the check number on a paper register I write “xfer” for account transfers, and “DB" or “V” for bank debit card purchases where the check number is N/A.
Other than that, I like the program.

Great, wonderful App. Since I found this, I have no need of a physical check register any longer. I balance my bank account nicely with this. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star is because if I need to find an expense history, there is NO WAY to search by description. This truly frustrates me. You can only search by check number (I hardly ever write checks), search by date, amount or type. If Im searching for an expense, I would be searching by the NAME of the business or person where I spent the money. I have to scroll through months if not years of expenses to find something if I can ever find it.

It is just the right tool for those who want to keep it simple. I switched to Chekcheck after being a Quicken user for 20 years and being kicked out, and so far I am pleased. No unnecesary subscriptions, very reasonable price, and easy to adjust to.
Of course, it could have all the bells and whistles in the worls, but if all you need is a tool to keep your bank accounts organized and reconciled, this is the tool for you. Kudos to Kevin!
Nice bells to have:
- separace colums for withdrawals and deposits.
- more prominence to the ending balance.
