CREATIVE ARTS & TECHNOLOGIES  Looks very cool. And a Mobile companion for iPhone is what I am missing there so far (compared to e.g. Palm which I still do my accounting on the road ;-)

Important question to qualify it for my own (and most other people's) needs:

Does it support multiple Currencies??  (Version 3.1)

WILLIAMO  Before purchasing this software, I tried almost all the others in this category (i.e. Jumsoft Money, MoneyWell, and Cha-Ching. They all had some features I loved and some features I would never use. I spent a lot of time loading my financial information in all of them so I could really compare "apples to apples". But the think that put iBank over the top, was the necessity of contacting the technical support dept about a slight problem. They answered and fixed the problem so quick that I thought it was an "automated" reply. I even asked an unrelated question and it was answered almost as fast. It's not to say I may have some other problems in the future, but until then I give iBank (5) stars.  (Version 3.1)

DONEBYLEE  I do not know what happened to the other reviewers who hate this program so much, but I love it.

I have been using iBank exclusively since its public beta and I have no problems whatsoever.

Is it on an even par with Quicken feature-by-feature? No, it is not. But it does everything I need it to.

Download and reconcile transactions with existing entries works perfectly for me. I have no problem with this feature. I use it everyday and have not had any problems at all.

I use split transactions all the time too. Again, I have had no problems.

Check it out, there is a free trial period so you don't have to buy it before trying it. I don't understand why someone wouldn't do that FIRST.  (Version 3.1)

STEUERMANN  I bought this "Quicken killer" application and hoped it would indeed be that, but it fails. Too many things to enumerate here, but some of the major flaws are as follows:

1. split transactions, very difficult to enter data. If changes the signs (debit/credit) at will, and it's difficult for anyone who seriously uses this feature to use.

2. Download transactions - it does download them, but it does not match them to existing entries, which is completely lame. It just adds them in a new ones, and you have to go find all of the duplicate ones.

3. Try to create a new subcategory while in the middle of entering in a transaction - it will create a new category as category:subcategory instead of adding in a new subcategory to the existing category.

4. Also with split transactions, it orders the items in the order it wants to put them, not the order you enter them. So, after it is saved, it reorders the split items.

5. importing Quicken data - didn't work at all. When I tried to import my data from just the begging of the year (almost 3 months worth), it just hung the program.

Many more things which do not function. All in all, it looks nice, but when you start actually try to use the program, you see its shortcomings very quickly.  (Version 3.0.2)
