DEBORAH  I bought iCash some time ago and use it ever since for my private account. Itīs easy to use - I didnīt even read the small manual, but was nonetheless able to set up my accounts needed and do transactions and analysis. This is mostly because the interface is clear and easy understandable.

You donīt need special accounting knowledge, because of the single-entry accounting, but a bit knowledge may be useful in some nitty gritty seldom used transactions. Changing and replacing transactions can be done easily, though, and allows you quick try-and-error in case you need it.

I especially like the statistic-feature to get informed about how much I really spend for special hobbies of mine (and where to cut expenses therefore...).

The possibility to group several transactions taking place in more than one account into one, or to split up one transaction taking place in one account into several goods also comes in handy, as it allows you a reflection of your everyday transactions, which may not always be so simple as one good - one account.

Support is excellent. When installing 10.4 Tiger the statistic-feature didnīt work, but an update with a fix was quickly available, and now it works smoothly again.

The only downer is that itīs a bit slow, and needs considerable processor power, but it did work stable so far (4 months) without crashes (working on a G4 iMac).

Iīd recommend it for private users and small businesses.

ANONYMOUS  I tried iBank and iCash and seemed drawn toward iCash for its more comprehensive reports and stats. I feel iBank is more based on displaying the balance of your bank account whereas iCash tries to show the bigger picture of income/expenditure. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm a newbie at accounts. But it sure does the job for me.. now I know why I'm always broke. :P

SARAHA62  This program did not work for me. I spent a lot of time putting all my financial data into the program thinking once I got everything set up things would move quickly. The first time I tried to import my new statement's qif files, the amounts did not come over. The developer was quick to respond to my questions (again, after I fiddled with it for hours and hours on my own). I sent him a sample file from my bank and all I got was '"sorry, these files won't work--there is something wrong with them."

I switched to Quicken and spent hours putting all my info in there but had more of the same problem with importing my bank's qif files. I finally found help on-line to learn that my bank's qif files were set up wrong--something about the $ and decilmal point, I think. I was led to try QIF Master to fix and even categorize all the transactions. Worked like a charm! I'm satisfied that I could have saved a lot of time and stuck with icash if the developer had suggested QIF Master. Maybe this will help someone else. I like the bells and whistles of Quicken better anyway. Personal preference.

My level of expertise is clear here--novice--but if you are like me, perhaps this will help.

ANALOG KID  The website says:

"iCash is versatil and user-friendly. For this reason it doesn't use the principle of double-entry bookkeeping making it much easier to be used by people with very little or no accounting knowledge at all."

Aren't there ANY personal finance programs that follow the basic accounting standards? Why do so many finance programs attempt to invent their own way of managing money when the accepted and practiced best way has been proven for over 100 years?

J CLARKSON  A very good product. I looked at all the alternatives trialling each of them over some weeks. iCash was the most comprehensible and very mature for an early (i.e. v 1.1) release. I am not an accountant and if your like me you'll probably appreciate the ease of use. Only very minor issue (I'm being picky here but I use this a lot so it matters a little after a while) I wish there was a slightly easier way of flicking between dates i.e days are sometimes at the bottom, months at the top. Don't let that put you off

WIZZARD  An excellent application. I have used iCash since v1.0 and found some necessary items that were missing. Maxprog has been very good with their support and keeping me up to date on changes to the system. v1.1 added report printing and v1.2 should add QIF support.

Otherwise the features, easy of use, and other functions of this application make it a must have low cost personal financial solution. It would also be suitable to small and medium size business.
