  • Thanks for the cool update. Really like the new themes and how all the transactions can be emailed. At first I couldn’t export the account info but that was because I didn’t download the latest Instinct update. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to future updates.


  • How about creating a way to categorize each transaction so that I can see a monthly flow of where I am spending my cash.


    • Brett,
      I will include something of that sort in a future update


  • jman,

    Thanks for the update.


  • this i great app, i use it all the time, but it just starting giving me the “off by 1 cent problem”


  • [...] Check Book V1.2 | Instinct-Software.com [...]


  • The new update is sweeeeeeet!!! Thanks for all your hard work!


  • This app. is well written, I like its simplicity. The author is very responsive to suggestions and sends out updates in a timely manner. Thank You!


  • I hope the newest revision includes the total balance of the account when sending via email. Thanks :)


  • Very Good Product I like it is very easy to use.. why pay every month ??


    • You only pay for this program one (1) time.


  • New update is being held off until it can be tested with the newest Instinct update (MR-5) from Sprint! This is scheduled for tomorrow(2-13). Once the next version has passed testing the release will be sent to all previous customers and be available for purchase here.

    A list of the updates can be found at:

    • Well, the current version works just fine under the new phone update.


  • Updates are and will be free.
    Sadly, the update will clear everything. Next update now includes (in addition to a few posts ago):
    -Reversed finish/delete buttons as requested
    -List of transactions starts with the most recent so you don’t have to scroll to add

    Also, I would suggest backing up fairly often (it’s easy to send yourself an email) just in case.


    • How do I get the updates. I recently installed the app and like it but some of the things mentioned are not in the version I have.

      thanks.


    • Thanks jman,

      You are very responsive to our needs and we really appreciate it!


  • jman,
    Another suggestion. Could you please reverse the order of finish/delete on the create new screens. It just seems logical to me to have finish first. I can’t count the number of times I’ve hit the delete first and had to start over. Especially if I don’t have my glasses on. :)


  • Still loving the app, but I have a question for those using it. I’m using it as my MAIN check register. I NEVER use cash, always use my debit card, and keep my balance to the penny. I’m finding that I need to scroll wayyyyy down in order to input a debit or credit because I have so many transactions in one day (3 to 4 daily). Any suggestions? Also, if you make improvements to the app, will I have to repurchase to get the “fixes”? Thanks.


    • Updates are FREE.

      I really think you are making a mistake to rely on a phone app to be your MAIN financial program. The way phones get lost, broken or just lock up. I use this app daily as well. Last week I was on a trip and had 14 entries. But as soon as I get home I transfer all my entries to Quicken; clear all entries in the app and start a new balance of the amount shown in Quicken. If you’re smart, you will at least use the feature to email yourself the accounts in the app on a frequent basis.


  • I agree, the keyboard is the weakness in this app right now. I have seen other apps that pull up a keyboard more appropriate for numbers. Look a lot like the dialer keyboard.


  • Love the app. Is there any way to include a “check box” so when checking phone “check register” to bank balance sheet I could “click” whether the transaction has completed/cleared or not? Think something like a little square box that when touched will show a checkmark or “x”. Maybe even “toggleable”.


    • It would make it more convenient to have the number pad with – and . signs to come up when entering the amount for a transaction besides the qwerty keyboard which can be a hassle. Besides that good app.


  • Thanks for the password protection. Anything involving personal finance should be password protected in my opinion.

    The modifications make the app run faster as well.


  • jman,

    You are da man! Great job. I’m loving the new features.


  • jman

    You are the man! Great job. I’m loving the new features. Thanks.


  • I don’t have an easy answer for you. For myself, I open the app on my phone every night and manually type in my day’s entries into Quicken. There are usually no more than 3 or 4 and it takes maybe 2 minutes. I clear the entries in the app and type in a new starting balance as shown in Quicken when the list starts getting long. I rely on the phone app to get me through the day. That’s all I expect of it! When I leave the house I know what’s in my account and when I get home I know what I’ve spent and where and don’t need to worry that I misplaced a receipt and can’t remember these things.

    Now I think we should end this discussion. I doubt they expect this comment section to be used as a forum or blog.


  • Okay, DISREGARD the above post about the EMAILING part. I figured out how to email the information to myself. Now I just need to figure out how to actually get it into Quicken or Excel. Again, thanks for the help.


  • here is a list of improvements coming soon after a little testing:
    -The keyboard to enter amount is now all numbers and the decimal is already entered…ie 1234 becomes $12.34 and 100 becomes $1.00
    -The deposit(+)/withdrawal(-) is now on a switch.
    -The transaction description doesn’t delete when you go to edit it. I figure with this something like putting in a cleared check is as simple as throwing an X on the end of the input. If you don’t think that is sufficient I will try to add it in more formally.
    -The few times where a cent was miscalculated in the balance is fixed! However that was by changing data which may cause problems elsewhere as time goes on.

    Thanks for your patience!!!
