But then, version 2.5.1 came out and the program kept crashing and I was worried that all my work was gone and I wouldn't be able to use this program again. A quick email was sent again and they fixed the crashing problem. Great program and greater developer support. You can't go wrong.

After searching reviews I narrowed the choice down to three products. Checkbook looked the simplest and was least expensive; on that basis I decided to try it first. I actually bought the Pro version as it was still less expensive than the competition. My only concerns were that it might mess up imports from Quicken and be a bit light-weight.
As it turned out I was wrong on both points. The QIF file import worked near perfectly even sorting out the UK date format correctly. Only the "Type" of payment failed to come over although cheque numbers did. Even with several years of transactions, I was able to manually populate this field using the selection, sorting, and multiple record update features of Checkbook Pro.
The interface is brilliantly straightforward, the help has always pointed me in the right direction and I find it much quicker to use than Quicken. The only shortcoming is on the reporting side if you need that. It does summaries but is not as comprehensive as much more expensive rivals. I'm not worried as what I want and maybe this will come with updates.
Don't pay anymore for personal finance software buy this and give the developer a boost by getting the Pro version.

Behaves as you would expect it to, its stable, easy to use, has a totally consistent interface. To be recommended, especially at the price of $18 and often on 'special' for less.
The search, or filter is incredible allowing you to see in an instant what you have spent in any time period, or on any type of transaction.
A few issues though.
1. The icons have to be some of the ugliest I have ever seen on a mac app.
2. Updates are very slow. 2.0 has been promised as any day now for over 9 months.
3. The simplicity of the app creates problems as it is lacking some refinement. This would be ok in a 1.0, but not a 1.8 that has been out for 3 plus years and is still not at 2.0.
4. Types have to be set in each accounts preferences individually, and have to be added twice for deposit and withdrawal. They also can not be copied from account to account. Splits are very primitive, to the point that they are basically useless.
5. Transactions are color coded, but with only three colors it is impossible to see if a transfer is a deposit or withdrawal.
6. Missing the ability to turn columns on and off. All your accounts including loans and credit cards have a check column even though these account types do not normally have checks.
7. Not enough keyboard equivalents means that you are constantly moving from mouse to keyboard while reconciling.

I downloaded a bunch of shareware financial applications and I'm going with yours for now. [...] You guys obviously know what you're doing. [...] The only financial application interface I really liked previously was Pocket Quicken for my Newton. Yours seems clearer even than that.
[...]
A first look at the application betrays a good practical knowledge of interface design on your part; clearly raised, sensibly sized buttons with good labels, consistency with other OS X metaphors etc. This application started behaving as I expected it to the moment I used it. I look forward to using CheckBook more.
Thank you,
