Contact Checkbook Wiz Support

by Diogenese

I have a checkbook register app (Pocket Money 2) that I’ve used for years and really like, but the original developer passed away and the new one destroyed it by “updating” it into something nearly unusable. But I digress. I have several complaints about most of the checkbook apps now available.

Icons - how many people, when we all used pen and paper registers, drew little pictures in them when they noted a category or named their bank? At least make them optional. If I use a category for groceries, I know what that means. I don’t need a picture of a shopping cart.

Recurring entries - no app I’ve looked at allows customization. I receive SSA checks on the third Wednesday of every month. In apps other than PM2, I can only pick monthly. Third Wednesdays occur on various dates. Most calendar apps allow that kind of customization so i assume it can be done.

Screen clutter - most apps have screens that are much too busy with graphics and unnecessary pictures. Simplicity is usually the most elegant.

There are other things, but you get the picture. Developers should search the App Store to find apps that have the highest number of 5 star ratings and, without violating copyright laws, try to make something similar. Or look at the ones with the most 1 star ratings to see what people don’t like.

End of rant. Thanks for reading. BYW, I only gave this app 1 star hoping people will read it. The app is maybe a 3 star.

I used the unpaid version for a while. It was not great, but it did the basic things that I needed it to do. Then I decided to try the paid subscription. The program was not any better. I found that after a year, I need to start all my accounts again from scratch or the program became unbearably slow. Toward the end of the subscription period, I canceled so the subscription would not renew. But the program immediately reverted to the unpaid version rather than running to the end of the subscription period. The final straw was today, when I tried to enter a transaction and got a screen telling me to sign up for the paid subscription, and was given no other option. I would not recommend this program to my worst enemy.

Update on July 17, 2020. I absolutely love this app, BUT... I bought the paid version to get rid of the ads. Two days later I still have ads. I contacted support and they told me to use restore purchases button. I have done it repeatedly. I also deleted the app, reinstalled it and loaded my data back in from iCloud. Still, I have ads. Also, the balance for my checking account has been off by large differences. it seems like almost every time I open the app, a different balance shows up. I
I have paid for and tried to use so many different bookkeeping apps that I am now giving up and going back to my Numbers spreadsheet. I use an app for two or three months and then my account balances go crazy and are incorrect. This has happened repeatedly. My spreadsheet is quicker and easier to use in the long run.

As far as the checkbook part of the app, it works really well. Yesterday, I downloaded the paid version. I still have ads all over the screen and ads that bring up their own screens. I just want to get what I paid for, which includes no ads.
