iFinance offers a comprehensive and efficient approach to easily manage your personal finances.
iFinance conveniently manages your entire cash flow over multiple accounts. The completely redesigned graphic user interface (GUI) helps you keeping an eye on all relevant information - at all times. Quick access to your data and diagrams, as well as to budgets and stocks have been focal points during development of iFinance's new version.
Unfortunately like all the other Qucken replacements, other than MoneyDance, Bill Pay must be done by Snail Mail or online with the financial institution instead of within the program.
I am using this app for a while now. I is ok, but the thing I am missing the most is a separate view for repeating transactions. Now they are just a part of each account, but a single view for them all would be nice. For example if I would like to easily check when my next payment is.
Gave a try to almost all of them. iFinance did not win. Do not like the design of the UI nor the lack of useful and advanced features when it comes to manage multiple accounts, to integrate with multiple banks and services and to make the day-to-day operations a snap.
As per my experience, the best is TCF (Tous Comptes Faits), for French Mac/PC users only... unfortunately.
Interesting product in between itunes/bento-like softwares (graphically popping) and something more old-style. I'm not a counselor or an accountant: keeping home finance, and maybe starting a little business in the near future.
Sharing few points, affecting the user 'experience', as they say: a) keyboard shortcuts are lacking (I'm a keyboard guy); b) smart folders are lacking; c) I'd prefer a cleaner Viewer ( a bit too colors, I mean, not tremendous as in other applications, but ...) with clearer balance and values (how is the logic behind the day balance listing?).
In the software I'm using now there's no budgeting, no stocks (but i'm not interested in that), reports lack real diagrams (even simple diagrams), but clean, fast data input and smart folders for a little analytcs and exporting to Numbers.
If i could put it all in one apt package (i.e iFinance), I'd be more than happy!
The bottom line: keep an eye on iFinance. If it keeps evolving in the good direction, just have a closer look (and the price is right). 3 Stars going to 4
Been using this for years - interesting to see the development. Budgeting charts nice & informative, reports quite good for categories, importing works within limitations and sometimes obscurely, but still some other issues:
The 3D charts are glossy and fancy, but too much so with 'lines', which look like spaghetti & are hard to decipher. The 2D equivalent is really basic. Something in between, Numbers style, would be better, imo.
Multi-currency works well for the left panel overview. You can change the main currency in the prefs (nice if there was a more accessible way & even a choice to list more than one at the top summary) but you still can't combine currencies for chart readouts, which most other programs do. Baffling.
If you want to redefine several beneficiaries you'd normally select them all and do so, but that option disappears leaving you to do them one by one. Again, frustrating.
I'm using this mostly so far for account and budget overviews. Looking forward to more flexibility.
I really like the looks of this program, but the tab order for new transactions drove me nuts. The first item to be entered should be the name of the transaction.
Also, there seems to be too many fields in the new transaction form .. would be nice to be able to turn off "beneficiary" option. Also, category options to select with keyboard via typing would be quicker for keyboard entry. Takes extra time to have to type and then move to the mouse to select a category, and then back to typing.
Well, I've been trying for some time to get this to import my .qif file. It only downloads the categories, not the transaction. Since I am just evaluating financial software (I currently use-and quite like-Quicken, which Intuit seems to be phasing out) I do not want to have to contact the developer to see how things work. Other packages I've tested had absolutely no problem importing my .qif files.
I too am looking for a quicken replacement (since it won't be compatible with Lion. I welcome any suggestions anyone has for something that will mimic most of the functionality in Quicken 2007 that will be supported under Lion. Appreciate any suggestions anyone has to offer.

Unfortunately, the lastest version, 3.3.2, had issues with graphs and reports: they didn't appear.
But the support team help me to correct that bug efficiently.
3 days for correct the bug with 3 members of the support team.
Efficient work! Thank.

One more thing: reports (by account, category, sub-category)?
