Ratings and reviews

Very nice app. Simple to use, yet informative. There are just two things that I would like to see: 1. a line for caregory that pops up when a payee is entered that has saved categories for each payee. 2. An option to auto insert decimal places in the amount line. Having the option to go to light mode would be nice, and day of month (e.g., second thursday) in recurring transactions, but not deal breakers.

Was once a great app. I've been using this app since I got my first Android phone. Gingerbread, so it's been a really long time. Sadly, I just got a OnePlus 6t & the app doesn't scale right anymore. All the edges are cut off & the menu button no longer shows up on the screen, unless I reconfigure the navigation bar to the old 3 button style. It appears that this is abandonware now, since it hasn't been updated since 2014. If the dev were to update it to work with modern android, I'd happily up my rating to 5 stars, but alas, it seems it's time to say goodbye. Sad day.

This has a nice look and some nice features, but the missing features really knock off stars: the accounts can't be re-ordered (you can get around this by numbering each acc't. ie: 1)Checking); it doesn't allow for adding an opening balance (opening balance must be added as a transaction); and (the big one for me) it doesn't display a running balance after each transaction. This is a feature missing in many checkbook ledger apps, and I don't know why. It' s a critical function.
