I only found this and Realbank (that is no more featured here at MU), I've tried both and decided for iCompta because of the more fluid interface.
I too use it for my personal finances, it has functions that I'll never use but I think some things could be better designed or easier (no operations presets, for example, I had to find a workaround with a dummy account where I put those operations for their labels to appear in the recently used ones when I create a new operation; the automatic operations are manageable but it could be easier — I'm not a big fan of the right panel for ruling everything).
But it's globally a good product and one of the best 3 ones I know.
There aren't even pop ups when you hold your cursor over the icons to tell you what they are. So you click on everything until you discover the "built in browser" which you use to import your bank activity... by downloading a QIF or CSV like you would manually anyway. And then when you actually import your bank activity? Oh God, the activation screens are like pulling fingernails. Just impossibly over-complicated. And it doesn't help that almost every screen goes outside the box on two sides. Ugh.
I know I'll probably get comments about how I Just Don't Get it, but the fact is that if I download a demo and an hour later I'm still completely baffled by the program then it's pretty much a UI DISASTER. And, honestly, it is without a doubt one of the most cluttered and unintuitive apps I've seen in a long time. Oh, and I almost forgot: Even though I saved my program to Dropbox it will not remember that. It won't even list it in the "Open recent" pulldown. I have to go to my Dropbox and double click the file.
This program is a mess, people.
P.S. I should add that bank access is a subscription fee.
