Accounts 2 Checkbook App Reviews

I searched for a replacement for my desktop check ledger that Ive used and liked (for the most part for over 10 years, talk about withdrawals.) Thanks to others for their honest and helpful reviews. I downloaded and tried three. Although others had some nice features but did not sync with other devices which was a deal breaker. After hours of painfully reading reviews, someone recommended Account 2 for that reason (sync with other devices.) Following a short learning period everything is just right! Not fancy and not a lot of bells and whistles but very functional and just right (price is just right too) highly recommend.

I do like this app. However since beginning to use it about seven months ago, it continues to give me syncing problems. Syncing between two iPhones and the iPad have been problematic. At one point about three months ago I lost all my data on all my devices. And then I had to input all my data again. Frustrating! Fortunately I send myself reports monthly so I could reconstruct everything. But I use an app like this to save myself some time, and it only wasted my time. Please work on a fix to the syncing problems. Otherwise I may begin to look for a new app.

Ive used this app for years and absolutely love it.

Accounts 2 deserves all the accolades it has received but it needs the option of creating reports with custom dates and custom categories. Then it would get my 5th star. I look forward to that upgrade!

This will no longer sync between my iPads. This is Dec., I uploaded & syncd, it erased all current data, now entries end at April, 2016. This used to be a 5 star app, syncing was flawless, now its useless. Will look for another app.

Its convenient! Always with me. Easy to use, easy to reconcile.

This is a great app and there are a few features I would like to see! 1. The ability to zoom in on receipts. Also ability to export receipts to camera roll. Large receipts require a wide angle which then makes receipt unreadable! Need the ability to zoom in on receipt so individual items.,totals etc can be read! The receipt is pretty useless otherwise. 2. Would love to see some kind of real sync.,not iCloud but over wifi or Bluetooth for sharing with my partners device. iCloud syncing does us no good as we obviously have two different iCloud accounts and email option is ok but would really like to be able to setup a sync that just sends new transactions to an approved device for entry. 3. Would like the ability to set up a rule for recurring transactions such as "occurs on the 1st of the month unless the first is a weekend or holiday." 4. Would be really great to have the option to connect directly to my bank so it can reconcile transactions as they occur in my account. As in.,once a transaction is entered into he app it can check it off once its cleared my bank and could also add (something like pending for my approval) transactions to app that show up in bank account. 5. Ability to set up budgets

Thank you for making an app that acts like many people think. Overall I love this app and will continue to use it. I gave it five stars because it does almost everything I want. I was a quicken user for many years and of course, would like the same level of control. Im sure you are continuing to plan for upgrades and improvements. So, may I offer my suggestions? (I cannot find anywhere to communicate with your besides this forum.) I have searched for apps that split transactions and yours is the only one that does it well. There could be some improvement on this with additional detail available but I can live with it. One improvement I would love to see is that transactions with the same date enter as deposits first, then deducts. There is no way for the user to reorder transactions. The other improvement I would appreciate is to be able to click on a transaction from the reports section and be taken to that transaction to edit it as needed. One other suggestion is that a transaction be movable between accounts. I have entered a detailed transaction in the wrong account and my only choice is to delete it and re-enter it in the correct account. Thank you for considering these.

Much improved, but syncing across ios devices is still unpredictable. Update Dec 3rd 2017 - Still having hit and miss sync issues between iPhone/iPad.

The app lumps multiple accounts together when generating reports. That defeats my purpose for buying it. Am I missing the obvious?

Using app for a few years now. Does what I need it to do. Can use some new features: Touch ID, ability to create reports with custom time range and custom categories. Syncing between also needs to be better. Not sure if it uses iCloud? If not, it should. Dont like having to upload and download every time I want my devices to sync. I like the app. But these additions would make it perfect.

I use this app every day. I can use it to set up numerous amounts of accounts under one Main account. It really keeps me on track and lets me see at a glance exactly where I am in my budget. Highly recommended.../

Its a good app but I would like to see you add a feature where you could look into the future with your recurring charges to see where you are financially.

Nice app, but export of the list of requiring payments would be good to have. Further more a possibility to choose an arbitrary time period for reports is missing.

DELETE the german translation. It is TERRIBLE and most parts are smply WRONG!!

One of the better apps if seen so far in this category. Which is also the only thing ive been missing so far, are more options to categorize even more your accounts and so on. Love the simple design of it! Well done!

This is a great and inexpensive accounting system. Worth the .99 cents. Needs internationalization of dollars and the ability to handle multi currencies - most people deal with two currencies especially in Canada. Needs a more direct access to transaction categories via settings same as currencies. Great application.

This is the best app that I have ever purchased. It has functionality of apps costing 20 times as much. I would make two suggestions for improvements. Some integration with the authors own loan calculation program so that a loan or a mortgage can be displayed as one of the accounts. Also one of the reports that would be nice to have is a cash flow projection utilizing the recurring transaction function applied to any account. Otherwise this app is the best for managing your household finances.

Perfect just what I needed...

Theres quite a few checkbook apps out there - some for significantly more money - but this app offers a clean and professional presentation and the bonus of iCloud backup / sync. I recently moved from PC to Mac and with that, I lost my checkbook program, but this app - on both my iPad and iPhone (and using the sync) - far surpasses what I lost. If I have a niggle, it is Id like a more flexible/expandable Category section. One can edit the names of the existing ones, but the ability to personalize further would be welcome.
