What's New
New Features:
  • Introduced two new report types: "Cash Balance" and "Unassigned Transactions."
  • Added the ability to view reports with pie charts and bar charts by clicking the Edit icon in the status bar at the bottom of the window when viewing a report.
  • Added a new Screen mode button to the status bar at the bottom of the window for viewing reports without pagination.
  • Added a new button to the status bar at the bottom of the window for reloading a report's data.
  • Added a new Edit button to the status bar at the bottom of the window for editing a report's date range.
Notable Fixes and Improvements:
  • A crash previously occurned when choosing the "Focus on Transactions > Custom…" command from the Account menu, or when attempting to view an account that had previously been focused on a custom date range. This has been fixed.
  • The ability to import OFX data from financial institutions previously did not work on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. This has been fixed.
Accounting:
  • Previously when deleting an account with one or more transactions, attempting to save the document would generate an error message stating that the document could not be saved. This has been fixed.
  • When clicking on the Account Info button at the bottom of the navigation panel, holding down the Option key now shows a list of all possible account types in the Account type pop-up menu.
Check Printing:
  • Entering a cheque number for a transaction now automatically updates the transaction's type property from a Generic transaction to a Cheque transaction.
  • Previously when selecting the "Print Cheques" command from the Account menu, nothing would happen if there were no transactions found having the Cheque transaction type. An informational sheet is now presented to explain that one or more transactions must be designated with a Cheque transaction type before printing cheques.
Import and Export:
  • Previously when clicking on a column header in the Specify Delimited Text Format page of the Import Assistant window, the click would only display the available attributes menu when the vertical scrollbar thumb was at the top position. This has been fixed.
  • Previously when importing transactions from a delimited text file (such as CSV), the Import Assistant would incorrectly create a transaction (with the name "untitled0") if it encountered a blank line in the import file. This has been fixed.
  • The "Match against existing transactions" option in the Import Assistant window was not causing the Import Assistant to suggest any matches. This has been fixed.
  • Previously when importing transactions, the import process sometimes had the side-effect of replacing existing account names with the corresponding account names in the import file. This only occurred when using the Match Accounts feature in the Import Assistant window and when the advanced import option to replace existing values with imported values was also selected. This has been fixed.
Interface and Workflow:
  • Changed the keyboard equialent for the "Hide Selection" command in the Selection menu to use Command-Option-J instead of Command-Option-H, since the latter conflicts with the "Hide Others" command in the Application menu.
  • Previously the Backup to MobileMe command was not automatically backing up documents to a user's iDisk. This has been fixed.
  • Fixed a drawing issue that sometimes caused the border of text fields in the Inspector to not draw the right edge.
  • Documents are no longer marked as dirty when first opened.
  • Dragging and dropping transactions into a transaction group previously used to modify the dropped transactions so they would all adopt the same date as the transaction at the drop location. This has changed so that dropped transactions are only modified if there is no previous value.
  • Dragging and dropping transactions into a transaction group would sometimes cause the application to crash. This has been fixed.
  • When viewing an account's transactions, choosing the "Hide Inspector View" command from the View menu closed the Inspector as expected but didn't always resize columns to fill the available space left by the Inspector. This has been fixed.
  • Previously it was possible to drag a transaction group and drop it onto itself, causing the application to crash instead of ignoring the drop. This has been fixed.
  • The Focus on Transactions command was previously not hiding groups that had empty subgroups. This has been fixed.
  • Previously when opening an account to view its transactions, the transactions would sometimes not be in sorted order according to the currently selected column. This has been fixed.
  • Selecting the previous or next transaction in an account no longer causes the transfers pop-up window to begin editing the newly selected transaction.
Performance:
  • Fixed a number of memory leaks that would previously cause the program to crash after prolonged use.
Reports:
  • Improved the Page Setup command so it now respects the selected page size.
  • Adding a warning to the Balance Sheet report that appears if there are missing income or expense assignments, where previously it would pool any unassigned transactions in Retained Earnings.
  • Fixed the Journal Entries report so it no longer displays 0.00 in the Unassigned Amount column.
  • Fixed an issue where reports with line charts, such as the Net Worth report, would sometimes draw data points that did not line up with x-axis labels.
New Features:
  • Introduced two new report types: "Cash Balance" and "Unassigned Transactions."
  • Added the ability to view reports with pie charts and bar charts by clicking the Edit icon in the status bar at the bottom of the window when viewing a report.
  • Added a new Screen mode button to the status bar at the bottom of the window for viewing reports without pagination.
  • Added a new more...

Can't use it as it won't import data from version 1.2.1 and I get no replies at all from any of the sales/webmaster/store@modeless.com email addresses. (First email to them was back in May!)

Therefore it gets a bad rating because of the bad customer service.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of purchasing this application at version 1, in part because of a statement from the author that there would be a free upgrade to version 2. On its release, the author conveniently forgot to honour this and subsequently alienated many users. As if that wasn't bad enough, the software at version 2 has been buggy and unreliable, and support is appaling. The author rarely seemed to respond to questions or requests on the support forum and then subsequently closed it down! I now wouldn't trust my accounts to this app, but it amuses me that it seems to have been resurrected following the release of Lion - no prizes for guessing why! Avoid at all costs!!!

This program had promise when I bought it (2006) but has declined in quality and developer support to the point that I can only describe it as being nearly 'Abandonware". Try something else like Moneydance or even the new Moneywell which looks interesting and has very active support at this stage.

Agreed completely. I was an early buyer of the software when it was around $80 and since then it has been nothing but headaches and bugs. The developer "itrat" seems to have deleted the support forums probably because they were all people complaining. There have been no updates to the software in ages and it is extremely buggy and unstable. I have had to switch software, thanks for your suggestions. It looks like a lot more software supports multiple currencies now, which is great (that was the reason I picked Liquid Ledger originally)

If you haven't gotten the idea from the descriptions below, do not buy this app! It is extremely over priced. $100 for a ledger? Get an app like Checkbook Pro if you want a ledger. So many financing apps, nobody should have to pay $100 for something that can be done on pen and paper. It's a simple ledger! Can't even function properly as that. Unless dev totally reworks the app, stay far away.

I purchased Liquid Ledger a few months ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.5. The software has been a constant source of frustration. Features described in the built in "help" feature (which is minimal and rudimentary) are not working. For example: entering transactions manually is not working and therefore it is impossible to fill in transactions missing in the datafiles downloaded from the banks. The import function is inconsistent and often fails without diagnostic that may help correct the problem. The manufacture is unresponsive to queries regarding these problems. I feel like I threw my money away with this purchase.

This is the most inaccurate accounting app on the planet... unless you stick to only onc currency! Unfortunately, the developer isn't listening to customers who're getting fed up with balance sheets that report gains and losses in the tens of thousands due to LiquidLedger simply being unable to handle foreign currency transactions.

Liquid Ledger is a not quite ready for prime time mac accounting system. On the plus side it has a good cocoa interface (although it is missing some nuances like sizable drawers) and solid qif file importing (something other Mac accounting programs have more trouble with). On the down side, report is very weak, the interface requires a ton of mousing to use (for example no keyboard shortcut to create a new transaction). Comments from the forum indicate that that the developer may be under resourced to provide support for a financial management program.

Just heard back from author ..

he is trying to weasel out of the refund as he is afirming that when I bought the upgrade, I was aware of the change of policy but there was not specific statement to that effect at all nor specific legal reference to a change in policy and from my knowledge of the law it would have to have been specific so that all users were aware of this .. as far as I know this has not been done and what he says is not sufficient notification ..

However, he does have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee polcy ..

seek a refund if you paid for a "free" upgrade ...

Seeing something here about bout 2.x better supporting currencies I thought I'd have another look after being disappointed with the hopeless support back in 1.x... Well, in 2.x it is exactly the same. Why do all finance solutions from continental USA not "get" currency?? Currency exchange rates change and I want a solution to pick up the latest (interbank or credit card) rates e.g. from oanda.com; LL expects users to manually enter these - even the Apple Calculator downloads the latest exchange rates so LL offers less functionality here! And for every new transaction I want the latest exchange rate OR the rate from that day and NOT ONE rate for all transactions / or have to essentially manually enter the rates myself (LL). Disappointed but not the only ones that don't get it. Cha-Ching is no better but at least I can tag entries e.g. "enterconversionrate" and filter so at least the workaround is manageable until full support is offered; it has been promised...
