iBank

I started using Quicken with version 1.0, back in 19--. Naturally, that was on a PC. I stayed with it for about 10 years as it got better and better. Then Intuit started collecting personal information on its customers and that was it for me. I switched to Microsoft Money, which I had helped to develop as a usability tester. Once I got used to the differences in Money, it did everything I wanted (except it never handled my investment accounts very well).

I stayed with Money even after switching to a Mac because I could run Windows on my iMac. However, when Microsoft announced that it was dumping Money and would not support it after about another year, I found iBank.

Contrary to what another reviewer here reported, I had no problem importing my Money files after exporting them as QIFs. Note that I did not import any of my investment files as they weren't accurate in Money anyway. I track them online at the broker's Web site, so I don't care if they're in iBank. They didn't do me much good in Money either.

iBank does all of the basic stuff like maintaining checkbooks, savings accounts, credit card accounts, asset accounts, etc., and allows the creation and monitoring of multiple budgets. That's all I want from my banking software, so I give iBank four stars. I would give it five, but I'm saving room for a few refinements, which I'm sure IGG Software will provide soon.Get more detail about iBank.
