WORKLESS  I checked out iBank 2.3 earlier in 2008 and thought it was well designed in terms of the look and feel and data import functions but completely lacked effective, useful reporting and data presentation tools (most of the chart layouts are useless for managing actual vs budget). I felt the developers could have done with some accounting/personal finance expert input. There are a lot of bugs but I thought the project was going in the right direction.

So I got in touch with the developers (Jon Williams of IGG) offered my services and sent him an example of how to lay out a monthly income/expenses report that the average user would find useful for managing their personal finances. I bought iBank 2.3 on the basis that they would implement the report I proposed.

I looked at version 3 recently and I couldn't find any improvements in the key areas. It is basically the same functionality with a 'prettier' look and feel. It's very disappointing. I would advise anyone with version 2.3 not to upgrade to iBank 3.

I hope they go back to 2.3, sort out the bugs, get some accounting advice and add effective reporting tools.
