Checksoft Personal Deluxe

Its not a bad product for what it does, so if you needs are very simple it might work for you. IT WONT PRINT onto your pre-printed checks that you order for your laser jet from your bank. Why? You can customize almost everything but the MICR code. It wants to print this and does not allow you to tell it not too. Therefore if you already have MICR on your checks it will print a second one. I guess this is there way of trying to corner the check reorder process. Also, in voucher form they allude that you can print out detailed information. I found no way of doing that. No way to customize the ledger application. They could have done better.

It is fairly easy to set up and use. Ive been using Checksoft for more than a decade. My only complaint is that the check registers default sort is descending by date, putting the most recent transactions on top, but the balance column adds from the top down. This means every time I open the program, I have to manually resort the register to order the transactions ascendingly by date to make the balance column make sense. This has been a pet peeve of mine with every version Ive used. It amazes me that the developer hasnt fixed this yet.

Different than the older version so took a bit to dial in but all good.

ok on this

Started out fine. The next day my computer tells me I cannot run this app on the computer. Loaded program but cannot even find it today. Waste of time and waste of money!

Had an older version which worked perfectly! I figured it was time to upgrade when I purchased a new computer. So disappointed. The check register default view is with the new transactions at the top, but the only way to view the balance is to sort the transactions with newest at the bottom - but it cant set to stay that way. When reconciling, NO CHECK NUMBERS are listed. Makes reconciling rather difficult with no check numbers. Uninstalled/reinstalled, searched for help, but the only way to get technical assistance is to pay for it, the lowest amount is $9.99. A company that can stand behind their product, shouldnt need to make money on purchasers trying to get that product to work. Big fat fail.

I installed it today, and I uninstalled it today. I bought it simply to print my own checks. Thats it. Nothing more. I would have been fine had that been the only feature that actually worked. But it did not. I got through the check design steps with no problem. I found it odd there was no actual save button for the design I created. Somehow it managed to save the template I designed. Here is where it all fell apart. Each template prints a little differently, north, south, east, west of the paper perforations. The adjustment tool is pre-guess work, totally in the blind. 9 checks, 3 to a page and I finally got one to line up. When I went to create my second design, none of the first adjustments applied and I was right back were I stated, wasting paper. I have been in Information Technology for 35 years. I know when to cut and run. Not worth the aggravation. Oh, and it stopped responding and hung twice. No, nothing is wrong with my PC, its the Checksoft software.

Still working on figuring out everything but it seems to work and print nicely. I like the checks and the software seems to work to my advantage. Still working on the quicken end but it is not too hard.

Absolutely horrible!

I bought this software less than a year ago. I used it twice to print checks. Neither time would the background I selected print on the checks. I tried to use it again yesterday and got an error message telling me that the license was already being used and to contact the seller. When I called the sellers number, I got a recording telling me that the number was no longer in service. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the software. I now get an error message telling me that I could not install it on two different computers! Dont buy it!
