I've been using My Check Book for over a year. I love it. Carl this is a great piece of software. I don't know what I would do without it. I'm still using version 5.4

***** [Aug 24, 2005] by Susanne
I'm impressed-very much. I had to reinstall after a hard reset, the manual-which is also excellent- doesn't give enough information: in addition to the .pdb files with the names of your accounts, you will also need to reinstall these pdb files: payeelistdb, paychecksdb, paymentsdb.

By far the best ledger program for the Palm I have used, freeware or not. I like how it tracks everything, and keeps it so neat and organized.

***** [Jan 13, 2005] by Ari Santoso
Very easy to use. no hassle. though I use it for database input and compile the data monthly for a complete backup on excel. This programs just suits my purpose fine.

***** [Sep 29, 2004] by Alanis
Very simple once you play with it after a while. I've only used a couple of days and I'm already recomending it to my friends. I'm always trying to find easy, convenient everyday applications that I can use on my palm and this is definitely one since I (we all) make daily transactions. Easy to enter and catergorize transactions and instantly balances your checkbook right there on the same screen. Really like the feature where you can check off which transactions have cleared your account. A must for me. Best of all, it's free.

***** [Sep 27, 2004] by LaToya
I have been using this application since 2002 and I must say it's wonderful. I don't even use a standard checkbook any more. It's great and would recommend it to anyone who wants a simple yet effective checkbook application.

***** [Sep 18, 2004] by Jasmine
This is a great software. Since they updated the version with fixes for the other issues, it hasn't crashed my palm since. I would highly recommend this!

***** [Aug 12, 2004] by Kathy B.
I have tried many financial software programs and I have found that this program is by far the best that I have used. My checking account is always balanced. Thanks for providing such a great program for free.

***** [Jun 19, 2004] by Aunty Bliv
I love this doohickey already and I've only been using it for an hour. I just got paid, paid two bills online, bought something with my debit, and kept track of it all without losing a beat with this app. I can't believe it's freeware. Carl Quick, you are a god.

***** [Jun 3, 2004] by Michael Fleming
What can I say that has not been said. My bank account has never been this organized before. I find this program to be indispensible. Thank you very much.

***** [Apr 10, 2004] by DL
This is a great application. I had to reset my Palm because I failed to recharge it in time and the application was deleted a few days ago. I couldn't live with out it. Thank you so much for making such a great application.

***** [Feb 20, 2004] by Patrick M.
I can't find anything out there that is better or has option then this application. It keeps track of my checkbook better then I can.

***** [Jan 13, 2004] by Stephanie
This is probably THE best program I've ever used. I have never been good about balancing my checkbook and now I'm a complete wiz.

***** [Dec 24, 2003] by Julie7
This is definitely an excellent freeware! Still can't believe it's free.

Found a trick around deleting records and have the balance adjusted:
1. Change amount to zero by editing the record.
2. Save edit transaction
3. Delete record

I've found that by doing so the balance is adjusted and the record can be deleted after. Excellent software. A must-get for all finance-conscience people. Delete procedure can be improved.

**** [Nov 9, 2003] by Angel
As a college student this program is a definite keeper but, my only gripe is when I go to delete a transaction I get a fatal error. And, I had to reset my palm and when I open the application again the balance is not adjusted properly but, the transaction itself has been deleted so I have to adjust my account when this happens. Other, Than that problem I like this program. It is very simply to use and I can view my accounts in different views and categories.

***** [Oct 18, 2003] by Constance Bailey
I love this program! I'm able to keep my cash, checking, savings, and work budget accounts with me at all times. I can't believe that such a wonderful program is freeware. I'd gladly pay for this application.

*** [Sep 11, 2003] by Chung
When first I know this program, I'm really happy and fell that I've found the right program! BUT Unfourtunate, this program can only handle a very limited number of account, which make this application become useless.

***** [May 16, 2003] by Dean
This is a super application! Can't believe it'll remain freeware. And Carl's quick to answer questions... unbelievable!

**** [May 7, 2003] by James Ely
This is an amazing program. I just got my Clie SJ-20 and installed this app on it and had my account information entered in it within 30 min. It was that intuitive and easy to use! I'd love to see Transaction Categories for Deposits so I can track different income sources and csv, qif import capabilities but this app rivals or easily beats ones that you have to pay for. Thanks for a great program!

***** [May 6, 2003] by Jerry Senear
Well, what can I say. This is the best CheckBook program ever made for Palm. I am using Version 3.5 and don't plan to update this program. "If it's not broken don't fix it." It is simple intuitive and free. What more can you ask. Oh by the way. I don't get bounced checks anymore. Thanks for the great program.

***** [Apr 16, 2003] by Lisa
Helped me keep track of my checkcard so I didn't overdraw my account!

***** [Apr 8, 2003] by Morliuet De Lan Deguennec
I swear to g-d this FREE software helped me lose $10K in credit card debt. Never before have I had any clue what was in my checking account at a given time. I have saved so much in late fees and bounced check fees that I have been able finally to erase my debts without earning more money! WOW! Thank you!!! You have my eternal gratitude, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that folks like you who develop great tools and give them away for free restore my faith in humanity! There's hope after all.

***** [Mar 27, 2003] by Jorene Nicolas
OOOH WOOW!! That's all I gotta say about this amazing program! Thanks SOO much for creating this! Cuz like seriously, I've been SOO horrible keeping track of all my expenses and accounts that I'd always get charged for overdrafting or what not! Thanks again!! I can't belive that its a freeware program either! Hehe I think that you deserve something!!! :) Lemme know if I can pay you some how through via pay pal or something! :) Thanks again!!!

***** [Mar 7, 2003] by John
Ditto to what everyone else has said. This is a great program. Very versatile and easy to use. I love that it keeps track of my direct deposit payroll. It has replaced my old "paper" check register. Thanks!

***** [Feb 19, 2003] by Mark
I can't believe this is freeware. I have been using it for a couple of months and it works flawlessly. Great job and thank you very much!

***** [Feb 9, 2003] by S Nordbye
I love this program. It is very fast and easy to keep my checkbook up to date because very few graffiti strokes are needed: it remembers your previous payees and automatically sequences the check numbers.

***** [Jan 24, 2003] by K. Bonnell
Amazing little program! I became hooked back on version 3.3 & with each update it just keeps getting better & better!What I find even more amazing is how open you (the "Quickster") are to suggestions & criticism, even inviting them, in order to further perfect your program! And it'z ALL FOR FREE!!! Thank you ...

***** [Nov 27, 2002] by Lee Ann
Hello, I have been using this application for a few months now and I think it is great, I can now keep track of all my accounts, all in one spot (chequing, Visa, MC, RRSP, etc). I have come across a couple of problems though - whenever I try to delete checked transactions from my chequing account I get an error (DataMgr.c,Line:3688,Null dbID passed) what is that? I have also ran out of room in my TO: list and the payments feature does not seem to work properly, when I want it to automatically transfer funds from one account to a different one, on a specific day each month. Also, my Balance and my Actual never seem to be correct and I have to keep adjusting the Actual, but that one is probably just an error on my part along the way. Besides that though, It is great!!! Thank you :)

* [Oct 11, 2002] by Jeff
Great program, until it started to subtract incorrectly.

**** [Oct 2, 2002] by O'Brian
Very versatile program, a must have for those intrested in managing their finances. Many very useful features. One of the best programs created for palm.

***** [Oct 1, 2002] by Ksra
One more rave review! I love this free application. But I also had a problem setting up my payments. Setting up paycheck worked fine, though. Even without that, I still think this is a very useful program. Thanks!

**** [Sep 23, 2002] by snarki
This is a wonderful program and I have recommended it to a number of my friends. I ran into one problem, but will email directly (mainly because I can't think of what it is at the moment). Thank you for the great program!

***** [Sep 22, 2002] by Guillermo Durán
Excellent program, easy to use. Keep working.

***** [Sep 22, 2002] by Brian Kuhn
Very interesting program to use... I have been using it for the last month now on my Visor Edge, and for the most part it has been all good... Setting payments up through the debit card was a hassle, but worth the wait... Everything that the program has to offer is good. But, there is a bug with the auto check numbers, and I have to type them in manually, but that is all good.... I dont mind that.. Just wish there were a way to edit the forms of transaction to what I use here... Thanks for the great program...

**** [Sep 4, 2002] by ShungTuck Leong
After inputing my datas, I found that all transactions are calculated correctly but when I want to edit my initial amount,there is no way to do it. Perhaps correcting this area and adding a graphical feature would make it a 5 stars from me. Other than this, an excellent product. Thanks.

***** [Aug 18, 2002] by Quickster
If anyone is having a problem with some function in MyCheckbook I would appreciate it if you sent me an eMail so I could help resolve the problem.

***** [Aug 17, 2002] by Jeff
This is one of the best things on my Palm. I've been using this software for the past month and it's great.

***** [Aug 12, 2002] by Billy
This is the best I've seen. Auto-fill fields, balance summaries of all accounts, all I could ask for is a tad more versatility: transfers to and from cash accounts (now you have to make two entries to show deposit from cash to checking account). Also, I have a problem using the Setup My Payments. Trying to setup a monthly debit from credit card for ISP. Any suggestions?

**** [Aug 7, 2002] by Stephen Siew
Well, this is quite an useful tools but somehow the starting cheque number that I entered during creation of my current account differs from what coming out when I selected the next cheque number. I entered 128106 and it came out 62573. I have to revert to entering my cheque number manually rather than have it defaulted.

***** [Jul 27, 2002] by Alfredo Urquilla
I have tryied this excellent program, but I have a problem. When I try to input some ammount, it show me a message that say: "SystemMgr.c, Line: 103, unimplemented". Please, may You help me about this problem?, What I have to do about that?. I hope for you help, Thanks.

***** [Jul 26, 2002] by Redbeard
If I had to list my Top 10 Best and Top 10 Can't Do Without Programs for my Palm m515, this one would definitely rank among the top 2. This program is easy to understand and use and is definitely a must have! I cannot believe that this is freeware!

***** [Jul 23, 2002] by Your Mamma
I love this program. You have to get it. For the people that don't like it, you're probably too stupid to figure it out.

***** [Jul 22, 2002] by Jon
I've used this program for almost 2-years and it's never done anything other than perfectly keep my checking account info. All this and it's free!

** [Jun 10, 2002] by Matt Bernstein
Seemed to be the best thing out there but it's plagued with errors. Trying to edit the balance works until you make your next entry. Frustrating. The overall format of the program is the best out there however, at the most minimal, a checkbook program must keep records without ANY errors. This is not the case with "My Checkbook". An update that fixes this will guarantee this is the best checkbook program out there.

***** [Jun 2, 2002] by Yuting Kuo
Clear interface, multiple accounts support, easy input, categories and sub-total of each categories, periodic payments and income, export to CSV/TAB/QIF. Ideal replacement for the built-in Expense program.

** [Jun 1, 2002] by Steve
When I first got the application I thought is was great. Would enter all my info and balance everything but it's not subracting correctly. I found errors on withdraws I have made. It's not dependable. At least at this point...

***** [May 26, 2002] by Jim
I love this software !! Sweet interface lots of good features. I wish for sub categories. not just my checkbook but all palm apps.

**** [Apr 4, 2002] by Doris
I am driven to download and use because of all the great reviews. I agree with Darrell that a balance after each transaction would be great. I'll definitely use it then.

***** [Apr 3, 2002] by Randy
This has completely replaced my paper checkbook register! Simple to use. I can enter my check info while the cashier is processing my check for payment. Keeps track of my debit card at the same time.

***** [Mar 28, 2002] by Brian
Again.., a GREAT program. just one suggestion. would be nice to have a line graph to show incline and decline of account status. Maybe it's just cosmetics.., but it would be nice. GREAT JOB!!! (Jason needs to read the manual).

***** [Mar 15, 2002] by Brian
THIS PROGRAM IS GREAT!!! I never really paid to much attention to where my money went until recently. This program helped me realize that i had over $600 per month that i was blowing on nonsense!!! This was a great help and my financial life is lookin a LOT better. DOWNLOAD NOW!!!

* [Mar 10, 2002] by Jason
I get a fatal error when I try to delete an account. I cannot edit the check number. If you schedule a payment in the future, it deducts the amount from your account immediately. I have found that this program is unusable. It has a very nice look and feel, but definitely needs some bug fixes and improvements.

***** [Feb 17, 2002] by Bridget Becker
I almost died when my visor delux ran out of batteries and I lost this program. It is wonderful. I used to have problems keeping track of how much I was spending but not any more! I love this program!

**** [Feb 15, 2002] by Kettle
This is a wonderful piece of software and it's very useful/ intuitive. I have come to rely heavily on this product. In my opinion, the one feature it lacks, is the ability to sync with Quicken. Otherwise it deserves five stars.

***** [Feb 5, 2002] by Kenneth I Cooke
I must correct my prior review. The error was not with the program but my own stupidity. This program is stable, I love the interface and I have come to rely upon it heavily. It has never been so easy to keep track of my accounts. This is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

*** [Jan 16, 2002] by Kenenth I Cooke
I loaded this software on my TRGPro and fell in love with it right away. After two days of use it now generates a Fatal error everytime I click the icon. I'm glad I did not come to rely on it!

***** [Dec 15, 2001] by Kerry Russell
Excellent program. Sugestions for next release:
1) show more line on top and only bring up bottom when new/edit
2) allow delete by date not just number of items.
3) when changing type from debit to deposit it miscalculates balance
4) allow change of either opening balance or of current balance. (or both)
Thank you for this great program. bye

***** [Dec 4, 2001] by veronika
This program is absolutely great! It has every option i need to balance my checkbook. A great tool. The only thing is, is when i export the file into Excel, the formatting gets lost. There is no column titles like it says in the manual. But overall, it's great!

***** [Nov 10, 2001] by darrell
This is a wonderful way to keep my checkbook organized.The only thing I would like to see would be a balance after every transaction.

***** [Nov 8, 2001] by Che-che
Hi, I'm Che˛ from the Philippines... i've been using this program for 3 mos. now and i really love it.... More power...

***** [Oct 29, 2001] by The International
I have been using it for all my transactions for 7 months now! I created my own names to correspond with the transaction under 'To'. Very versatile! Allows for every nuance of money transactions. Although, they should create a category called 'ePay' for those of us who pay bills on-line. Note: There is a transaction called 'ePurchase'.

***** [Oct 21, 2001] by Mary Hinkle
I love this program and have been using it for several months. I love the updates. I have it programed on my to do list button. A suggestion for future updates is to have an automatic payment feature that allows the user to program automatic withdrawls on predetermined days of the month, for automatic transfers, etc. Thanks and keep up the good work.

***** [Oct 19, 2001] by Alison
I love this program, I've been using it for 5 months now and I've had zero problems. It's great too b/c it works with all systems.

***** [Oct 18, 2001] by Johnny Cando
One of the best palm software.

***** [Oct 13, 2001] by ken tanpinco
Easy to use and best of all... FREE ... you definately are the man carl. You have totally organized "all" my accounts. I rate this beyond excellent. it's "OUTSTANDING"

***** [Aug 16, 2001] by Donna
Simple, functional and stable. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

***** [Jul 10, 2001] by Scott
This is a great piece of freeware. Perfectly stable, not to bad on memory, and does what it's supposed to do. This is on my calculator button and will stay there. It's never been easy to keep track of all those swipes until now. Thanks Carl.
