Just Checking for Windows

• Perfect choice for us

  Bill1958July 1, 2017

  Pros

  Lets us easily manage our checking account. Can print checks, reconcile accounts, filter and much more. We were looking for an alternative to Quicken without the steep learning curve and we found it! Simply a complete pleasure.

  Cons

  Print function is non-intuitive but doable.

  Summary

  An easy choice to purchase. We both love it.

• Tricky - It is really an ADVERTISEMENT

  PeterMerrittSkaifeAugust 23, 2013

  Pros

  Did not spend the money to find out.

  Cons

  I thought this was a free program.

  Summary

  The description did not let me know that this program was an ADVERTISEMENT for an actual program. TRICKY!

• not powerful enough

  mokamanuApril 9, 2012

  Pros

  free to try

  Cons

  cannot make "memo" reports (even though it says it's able to); auto-fills are not very friendly; entry fields are separate from the checkbook-like field, which creates an extra step.

  Summary

  glad to have the opportunity to try it; unfortunately i won't be buying this.

• Seems unstable in Windows 7

  ColdjetOctober 3, 2011

  Pros

  Ease of use.

  Cons

  In my experience, transactions are not always saved and tool functions did not work (colors). I uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no improvement. In my opinion, the uninstall is a bit messy with several files remaining here and there.

  Summary

  If it works for you, it's a nice program. The instant you buy it, whether or not you are satisfied, you own it. I requested my money back from JustApps and was told they do not do refunds and that the product works fine in Windows 7. They offered to troubleshoot my issues. I elected to change to another program.

• Great software for tracking your expenses

  gsmiller88June 24, 2011

  Pros

  Easy to use, Intuitive interface, low price

  Cons

  I would like to be able to customize the interface more

  Summary

  After recently switching back to a Windows PC from Mac OS X, I had to find a new software to help me keep track of my checking account transactions. I was using iBank which did the job very well, albeit it had more features than I needed. After trying countless apps for Windows I finally stumbled upon Just Checking. I am amazed how great this little app works! It's simple and I understood how to use it within a matter of minutes. I don't need an app that shows me pie graphs of how much money I have or how much money I should spend, I just need one that will let me track my expenses, plain and simple. For $14.95 you can't beat Just Checking. One thing I would like to change would is the ability to customize the layout of the transactions. For instance, I would like to be able to bold the Name and Amount of the transactions so they stand out better. However this is a very small caveat and will not keep me from recommending Just Checking to everyone I know.

• BEST PERSONAL OR BUSINESS CHECKBOOK OUT THERE

  Schilling34April 28, 2010

  Pros

  Gives you just what you NEED without all the bells and whistles that bloat the big boys. Simple, quick to setup, just like using a check register which is all I wanted. I've tried Quicken, Quickbooks and others from here.

  Cons

  I have yet to find anything about this program I don't like.

  Summary

  It took 5 minutes to set up and import my banking information into the program. Simple, easy to use and familiar buttons without all the garbage that the big programs give you. Opens to your checking account without having to click all over; 10 second check entry and FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE to suit YOUR needs. I highly recommend this program.

• Finally! Check writing software that works ...

  cweimer59December 15, 2009

  Pros

  The biggest thing I like is the check-writing feature.

  Cons

  The demo account is still there after purchasing; had to delete all the payees, etc one at a time if I'm not going to use them.

  Summary

  I find it difficult to write checks by hand, and I had an accounting program installed and pre-printed checks. When I lost that program, every program I found for computer-printed checks required blank check stock or an accounting program. I like this program because it prints on pre-printed checks and no other software is needed.

• Works as advertised, Great Program!

  ronofncDecember 6, 2009

  Pros

  I liked everything about it after downloading the trial version. I think it is an excellent buy and was as easy as abc to learn and use. You won't regret buying and using this program. Much easer to use that others i have tried, highly recommended!

  Cons

  Nothing at all.

  Summary

  Ease of use. Free upgrades. doesn't make mistakes like I do!!!

• Cute, full-featured, easy to use checkbook balancer

  zendogsSeptember 12, 2008

  Pros

  Nice looking. The interface is easy to use, easy to add common payees, schedule recurring transactions such as that automatic payment from Netflix or your car payment, even letting you specify how far in advance you want it to be added.

  Cons

  Anyone you've ever paid money to shows up in the list of payees, even ones from other accounts and you can't delete them. I can imagine that after a few months, the list would be egregiously long. It does have autofilling type ability, though.

  Summary

  It's a pretty little interface unlike most of the cheap software out there. The interface is easy to use, easy to add common payees, schedule recurring transactions such as that automatic payment from Netflix or your car payment, even letting you specify how far in advance you want the payment to show up in your register. This is handy for people like me who can never remember what day a particular item comes out. You can print reports and checks, although I didn't try these features as I don't really need them. This won't help you plan a budget but you can keep track of what you spend in different areas. The search function works well. Well worth the 14.95, has features and the look and feel of much more expensive programs. Infinitely better than any of the freeware out there. Just what I needed, not much more, nothing less.
