Review summary

Users generally like the app for cross-device syncing, a simple manual-entry ledger, and free core features. However, recurring problems center on autofill/auto-complete behavior that’s hard to disable or regresses after updates, syncing issues with balances not updating or needing manual re-sync, and update-driven instability including UI regressions and glitches.
Pros
  • Cross-device syncing and PC access keeps data up-to-date across Android, other platforms, and PC.
  • Simple manual-entry ledger that's easy to use for basic bookkeeping.
  • Reliability and steady functionality with minimal nagging prompts.
  • Free to use with solid core features (no forced upgrades).
Cons
  • Autofill/auto-complete issues disrupt workflow and cannot be disabled; regressions appear after updates.
  • Accounts not syncing or syncing delays, and running totals not updating, often requiring manual re-sync.
  • Update-driven instability and UI regressions (clunky updates, smaller text, glitches, and occasional crashes).

Going down hill! This app used to work very well, I even paid for premium I loved it so much. Now there are constant glitches - circle of death when trying to clear transactions, extremely laggy to the point it looks like a transaction wasn't added then a few hours later it was added multiple times. Getting to the point where its unusable. Stop adding so many features if it degrades the main functions.

Features that were available for long time stopped working. Fixing didn't seem to be priority. If so, it's not communicated. I emailed problems & was thanked & told info was sent on. Updates were never provided. The features that stopped were ones I heavily relied on. Was told use web version, but I would have to upgrade in order to see what I needed from app. Should've offered free upgrade until problem solved. Moved to Quicken Simplifi. Better platform & more features.

I like the features of the app, however it crashes constantly. I can add one transaction and it crashes. Same results 2 devices. The web interface seems to work reliably.

I’ve been using Clear Checkbook for about a year and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s a simple manual-entry checkbook ledger that makes it easy to keep track of accounts. The sync works great across Android, non-Android devices, and PC, which makes it very convenient. I also really like being able to share accounts with family members so everyone sees the same up-to-date balance. Overall, it’s been a reliable and very useful app.

I used to think it was so so but lately the autofill is out of control and my books are a nightmare. You can't turn it off in the app either. It takes hours to do 20 mins of bookkeeping. Time to find a better app.. This one SUCKS!

App doesn't reconcile the accounts. Paid to upgrade and still doesn't work. Husband tried and he couldn't figure out why the reconcile option doesn't show up like it should. yes we tried the help section. we can't get an immediate running total. Glitchy and lots of not responding right now. Grrrr

Everything was down but only because of the AWS outage. I emailed them for assistance and they were very helpful with sending updates. Thank you Brandon!!

The app just quit working. All it does is spin. I was using it and it just stopped. My wifi connection is good and all the rest of my apps work fine. Just tried the website and nothing happens. Something happened. Found out it was a nation wide outage. Back to normal now!!
