I spent a few weeks in Scotland this summer and was happy to find that CBPro has the capability of translating exchange rates between currencies. This has been great in keeping my finances together. I've even got a separate petty cash account that keeps track of my British Pounds.
Still waiting for the iPad/iPhone version. Can't wait!

— Even though it says it pulls date formats from System Preferences, it doesn't.
— Text becomes hardly readable when you select it.

Can we work with you on each of these issues? Usually best to do this in email but let's take a stab right here!
- CheckBook Pro includes built-in support for several currencies besides US dollars and users can easily add/remove/modify currencies by selecting "Edit All Accounts..." from the Account menu or by double-clicking the All Accounts item at the top of the Accounts drawer. Each Account has a Currency you can change by selecting "Edit Account..." from the Account menu or by double-clicking the Account in the Accounts drawer. Can you share how CheckBook Pro is limiting you to US dollars there?
- CheckBook Pro uses either the short or long date formats as set by the user in System Preferences. You can choose which by selecting "Preferences..." from the CheckBook Pro menu and navigating to the Dates section. Can you tell us how that works for you?
- When highlighting items in lists, CheckBook Pro uses a variant of the system-wide text highlight color set in System Preferences, sets the selected text color to white, bold-faces the selected text and places a dark shadow around it. This may not work well with some fonts, font sizes and/or highlight colors. You can change the font and font size CheckBook Pro uses in Entries by selecting the "Preferences..." option in the CheckBook Pro menu and navigating to the General section. If that doesn't help please let us know which font and font size you've selected - and, if possible, select some simple text in an app like Text Edit and send us a screenshot at support@splasm.com.
Thanks for your help, Mark!

- By date formats I meant the Middle Endian (mm/dd/yy) vs. the Little Endian (dd/mm/yy) formats. Even though I have the Little Endian format set in my system preferences, CheckBook Pro still uses the Middle Endian.
- The system-wide text highlight system does not add neither bold, nor shadow. It only adds those in Finder's shortcut/favorites panel and the shadow is very vague so that it doesn't obstruct the text itself. In case of CheckBook, shadow makes the reading less comfortable. It would be better to remove it (or have an option in the app preferences), so the highlight would look like the one used in the system-wide menus or in FInder's main window area. Here's what I mean: http://snapplr.com/snap/fgcz

For me the only shortcomings I can see is that the summary graphs are not the easiest to read, you have to do some scrolling which makes it hard to do a visual comparison of the different items. Also the split function could be a little more intuitive with an auto-fill of the remaining transaction balance and payee. But these are both so minor they have little impact on CheckBook Pro's usefulness.

As far as I can see all thats missing from this app is the ability to connect to online accounts (not a problem for me as I just download my monthly statement and import it) and a iPhone app, I believe there are new features going to be added in the very near future, including these.

I still really like Quicken--despite it's flaws and non-development--but have been wanting to move away from it due to lack of any real support and continued development from Intuit. CBpro is simple to use, it's interface is really very nice and doesn't get bogged down with a lot of snazzy bells and whistles like a lot of the others have.
Right now, CBP is not iPhone ready, but the developers are devoting a great amount of time putting this in place. They are also looking at adding direct connection to financial institutions.. These are not major problems for me right now, as I am willing to wait for their final results in these two areas.
Check out this app!

This app might probably be all I ever need for personal finance
Definetly, one of the best small investment I've ever made

I recently had a "farkle" on my Admin account and had to make a new user account, transfer info, etc
When started CBPro it could not find the accounts.plist and neither did Spotlight!
So Logged onto CheckbookPro WWW site and took a look at the FAQ.
Well all my questions were answered in the FAQ - copied my backup accounts file from my external hard drive and everything was just the way I left it under the old user account
FANTASTIC - you are by far way ahead of the competition in this regard, I have never see a FAQ that covers just about all the possibilities of what can go wrong
You are to be commended, thanx for 1 less headache
