Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By Pondwater2001

    Basic functions good, weak interface

    This app is my basic checkbook and credit card tracker, replacing the feature-rich, but aged Budget. 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. General interface is polished only to a basic level. For example, all data is on one line like a plain spreadsheet, but two lines per entry might be easier to read. 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. before tabbing along. 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. For me, that is hard to read and disjointed in appearance. Default as you wish, but please give users the option to customize the recently entered item. Kudos for allowing different shades of color for credit or debit items. Overall, Checkbook beats competing app Savings for functionality, especially reconciling, but falls short of the outstanding Savings interface. At the present, I am sticking with Checkbook and hoping it will grow into a great mix of strong functionality and interface excellence.

    Useful but no frills

    CheckBook is a simple, cheap way to keep to track of one’s expenditures and income. I am satisfied with it. When I shopped, I discovered that much of the finance software on the market seemed needlessly costly / complicated, and/or requires a subscription. CheckBook is inexpensive, straightforward, and doesn’t involve subscriptions. It also does exactly what I wanted of such a program: let me track how much money is in my checking account and how much I’ve charged on a credit card. It seems lacking in some simple features that Quicken had (at least back in the good ol’ days #RIPQuicken). For one, I never could figure out how to get transactions between accounts to show up automatically (e.g., if I go into checking and put in a debit entry of X toward my credit card, I’d like my credit card account to automatically show a deposit entry of X from checking account). For another, the current date doesn’t update automatically for new entries - every time I make a new entry, I have to manually update to today’s date. Neither of these are dealbreakers, but they are my two biggest complaints, so I figure it’s fair to acknowledge them. That said, my quibbles do not keep me from recommending CheckBook to anyone seeking a bargain way to track simple, routine transactions.

    Good Start - Updated

    I was still using a manual check register and recently started using Checkbook on my Windows. I like the the categories set-up for the Type of transaction and the ability to add Categories. Its a straight forward app and as I said, so far so good. I haven't reconciled yet so we'll see how that goes. As far as improvement, for me, I would like too see the date default to the current date on entry. I do have some concerns about how entries are backed up as there is no "save" function. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product and would recommend it. UPDATE - Since submitting the original review, the developer contacted me and gave me instructions on managing dates (my lack of not completely reading the instructions...). I have also reconciled twice and it was a breeze. I've updated my rating from 4 stars to 5, this is a easy to use product that gets the job done.

    No More Tears

    I’m really bad at Math so I used Quicken for years. Then I got a Windows Computer & had to get Quicken for Windows. I have spent the last 6 months crying over that program. My husband insisted I get a different program but I was afraid; it takes me a long time to learn new computer technologies. He bought me Checkbook, and the first day I set up the accounts, registers, & scheduled transfers alone, and without one tear. I thought transferring a payment from the Check Register to the appropriate account was awkward, but he went to support and discovered how easy it is. I love everything about this program. There are a few minor tweaks I would make, but I’m still exploring the program and might find the fixes with further experience or in support, which has already proven most helpful. An added benefit—it’s a fraction of the price of Quicken.

    This app certainly meets my needs

    I wanted a vey simple check register that allows me to keep track of 4 bank accounts and 4 IRAs. I had Quicken Express for years and it was OK but then the company changed and I had to buy a full bookeeping program. It was expensive and offered far more than I wanted or needed. So I bought Checkbook based on its reviews. I am a computer idiot and not at all comfortable setting up or using a new program. I had some trouble getting this one set up but the support people were terrific! They were exceptionally patient and understanding and got me through it quickly and with some degree of ease. People more computer literate than I (and that's just about everyone!)should have no problem. The program was not at all difficult to set up and use once I got the hang of it. I’ve used it for three months now and like it very much. It more than meets my needs. I can certainly recomend it for ease of use and tech. support.
