more I was looking for a quality app, no frills, no constant pop-ups for subscriptions, no million features I’d never use. This app is PERFECT. One time purchase for full features of ~$5. I bought the full version within 10 minutes of using it! Easy to manage, starts with great starter categories. Simple, Clean, Great Reports. Syncs across my Apple devices. I can’t ask for anything more, Amazing app. Thanks so much Dev!

What's New in Version 1.4
A major update focused on accurate balances, faster entry, and getting your data in and out with ease.
Cleared vs. Uncleared Transactions
• Every transaction can now be marked cleared or uncleared, so your register shows your true available balance while you reconcile against what's actually posted at your bank. Bills auto-clear when they're due, and your running balance reflects only cleared activity — so the number you see is the number you can trust.
Multi-Select Actions
• Select multiple transactions at once to clear, unclear, or delete them in a single tap. Cleaning up and reconciling your register is dramatically faster.
Teller-Style Amount Entry
• Entering amounts now works like a bank keypad. Digits always fill in from the right with a dedicated number pad and a blinking caret, so cents land exactly where you expect. Faster, more accurate, and it just feels right.
Fully Editable Transfers
• Transfers between accounts can now be edited from either side. Fix a transfer from the source or the destination account and both registers update instantly — no more deleting and re-creating.
CSV Import (Beta)
• Bring your history with you. Import transactions from a CSV file, with support for European decimal formats and standard bank exports, making it easy to move over from another app or spreadsheet.
Net Worth with Pending
The Net Worth view now shows a pending line, so you can see the impact of uncleared activity on your overall picture.
Smarter Payee Entry
• The payee field now offers autofill suggestions, spelling suggestions, and autocorrect, so entering who you paid is quicker and cleaner.
Bills: Search & Sort
• Find and organize your bills fast with a new search bar and sort control.
Fresh App Icon
• Checkbook has a new skeuomorphic checkbook icon on a clean cream background.
Reliability & Accuracy Fixes
•Under the hood, this release fixes floating-point drift by using integer-cent math for all balance and report totals, speeds up recurring-bill date calculations, hardens against rare crashes, and surfaces save errors that used to fail silently. Plus the usual polish throughout.
Thanks for using Checkbook. If it's helping you stay on top of your money, a quick review means a lot.
