[QUOTE="PKGuy323, post: 825918, member: 87828"] I've completed my first year as a Mac "switcher" and am getting off the Windows bottle soon. The last two things are my MS Money 2006 replacement and of course, the most important, UT3! If you Google "Mac Financial apps", you'll find a few articles about there not being a good finance app for Mac, how Quicken sucks, and how MS Money is still the best finance app out there. Alot of negative reviews about iBank as well and IMO that was for prior versions and releases. I downloaded a lot of Mac finance demos and some were insanely humorous by calling themselves a finance app or an MS Money killer. Most of them were still "in initial development". The two I came down to testing more in-depth were MoneyDance and iBank 3. Since I have a Mac, I want my software to look like Mac and not like an old Linux program. With the vast reconciliation improvement from iBank 3.4 to 3.4.1(still think it should be bumped all the way to 3.5), the new reconcile feature is what sold it for me. If you use MobileMe, then you'll love the free iPhone app that it comes with. I understand an improved widget is forthcoming for the Dashboard, so all the development to refine and add new features to a functional software is very encouraging to me. Overall, I am content with iBank. While it doesn't have every feature that MS Money has(none of the Mac Finance apps do), I believe with the active development AND the active input of the end-users, iBank will certainly become the MS Money killer it needs to be. As of last weekend, I've imported 10 years of data into iBank(without a flaw in the data) and have closed out MS Money. There is a demo available and the iBank forums have alot of valuable info...check them out!
