Better Than Previous Reviews Suggest
Written by JK from Owings Mills
Jul 9, 2008
I was a long-time MS Money user until I upgraded to an Apple, so I was looking for something good to replace it. Unfortunately there wasn't much out there, so I went with a big name (Quicken) thinking it couldn't be too bad. Well... it did everything I needed, but wow, that program wasn't user-friendly at all! So despite all the reviews I read on here about how bad iBank was, I was determined to try it anyway and I'm glad I did. Sure, it doesn't have as many features as MS Money, but this program does everything I need to manage my finances and it was much easier to use than Quicken. I haven't had any problems with it so far and I would definitely recommend this program to anyone. …More

Near great! Huge relief to finally leave Quicken.
Written by EW from Cincinnati
Sep 26, 2008
I tried iBank recently, after many years of using Quicken. My impression so far is almost totally positive. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Quicken or Money offer, but it's definitely a solid program that does most of what I need.
I have quite a few different investment accounts and bank accounts, all at several different banks and brokerages, so I have a lot of data to keep track of. So far, I've found iBank to be completely solid. Never crashes, calculations are perfect, and the formats are very useful.
My only complaint as a new user is that some of the user interface is not at all intuitive, so I couldn't figure out how to do many things. But on the positive side, the online help is so good that I was easily able to look up anything I couldn't figure out on my own. In fact, I found some things that were totally unexpected but very helpful. It would be nice to have a more comprehensive tutorial, but if you don't mind looking things up in the help, you can get up to speed with this app very quickly.
Overall, I'm very happy with iBank, and I don't expect to ever go back to Quicken or Money. I expect future versions of iBank to just keep getting better. We finally have a real Mac application that does nearly all you need for your financial record keeping. …More395 of 406 people found this useful

iBank Personal Financial Manager
Simple, elegant and does what I want it to...
Written by AP from Seattle
Oct 23, 2008
Ok. Perhaps not for those who wish to buy or sell stock - as some seem to be looking for. However, to manage multiple accounts, and for those of us who look for well designed interfaces and ease of use, this is a refreshing alternative to other - bloated, overly complex with hideous backup methodology - programs. I found Quicken to be complex and way more than I needed. I do use iBank to keep tabs on my portfolio, debt, checking account etc. I also use it when tax time rolls around as it will categorize entries. I have to say I am a bit perplexed by all the negative reviews. …More

For simple personal financing the user interface is excellent. For small business use, the report options are weak and limited. To enter a credit in an expense categories is difficult and in no way intuitive. After two months of use, I am looking for another option. …More

WELL DONE!!
Written by JW from Liberty
Oct 8, 2009
Finally, a product that is not so proprietary and arrogant and is compatible with QFX, OFX, and QFX formats. Works extremely easy and well with all of the features at my own bank's Online Banking solution including Bill Pay. A great product and highly recommended alternative to the giant players in the personal financial software products. WELL DONE, and thank you. …More

iBank impressions
Written by BD from Soldotna
Oct 3, 2009
It is such a pity that Apple does not take a greater interest in helping someone fill this large but basic void in MAC software. I have concluded that you cannot absolutely trust any of the available software to correctly create and manage accounts nor add/subtract from account to account without supervision. Having said that, this product can do what Quicken can and is more visually appealing. I do think it is basically functional but at times I had to trick it into doing what I wanted on setup. I recommend you check and double check everything on setup. Also, I think importing data to do the setup is a huge mistake. Just start anew at the last reconcile date and keep the old data in a backup under the old program. After doing this, so far it is working fine. I should say I do not trust a lot of bank importing either so I avoid it too. Average overall with room to improve. …More

I currently use Microsoft Money 2007 and now have a IMAC OS X would like to use a software similar to Money but can't find one is iBank like Money?
- Asked by YE
- Oct 28, 2009
Best Answer
It would be inaccurate to compare the two products exactly, but most of the key features of iBank and MS Money overlap. Because iBank has a more Mac-like interface, it could take some getting used to - but it will import your previous MS Money data. Then a small investment of time to learn the software, customize your categories and so forth should make the switch worthwhile. There's a more complete list of what features iBank offers on the developer's website. …More
