DON'T BUY THIS!!!
Written by TW from Oxford
Mar 20, 2008
I, regretfully purchased this. $60 purchase price. 3 weeks after i installed it, a pop-up asked if I wanted to download an update that was available. There is no mention of having to BUY the update. If you click yes, your software is hijacked ... unusabel ... until you provide a registration number that doesn't exist. A purchase number or serial number you can find, but they want a number from a company called Kagi that, in my experience, doesn't exist. After owning the product for 3 weeks, I had to cough up another $30 to free up my software. Guess what. I purchased the product twice and still never received a "registration number". I just got that pop-up again. I have had iBank 6 weeks now and they want another $30 for an update to fix the last update that I purchased 2 weeks ago. This company will continue to extort money from you. Buy another product from a better company.

Waste of Money

After using Microsoft money on a PC, iBank was very disappointing. Reconciling my account was no easier than using a paper and pencil.

Not competitive with Quicken yet but getting there
Written by CO from Honolulu

The set up of accounts and downloads was easy. The page for selecting items to download is waaaay too tiny. Who can figure out what they're doing in a 2 inch space??
Categories were easy to select but the ones I added don't show up on the charts -- have to hand-add them. Too time consuming!
The Reconcile process is very confusing. Doesn't use the same Total Additions and Total Subtractions that banks use which make it easy to catch errors. Needs a short tutorial on how to reconcile.
Check writing and printing are easy enough. I hope the program is stable. Quicken on the Mac has been giving me problems for the past 10 months! May have to buy a PC just to get accurate financial records if this doesn't work.36 of 45 people found this useful

Disappointing
Written by EP from New York

I've been using MS Money for several years and iBank can't do 98% of what Money can. Very disappointed at wasting money to buy this program, but no other financial management software for Mac is any good either.

Love it simple and easy to learn
Written by JB from Addison

Been using it for 2 months now and love it. Never had any problems with it on the Mac.
I also use iBiz with iBank. Recommend it to by clients who want something simple to use. I work with a lot of seniors who like short learning curves. Do not understand the low ratings by others. Perhaps they should have there Mac's serviced.32 of 46 people found this useful

This is a very basic database. I could get something more out of a few Excel spreadsheets than what this has to offer. Save your money

Quite Poor
Written by DH from Cambridge
Feb 5, 2008
I thought this would be a simpler more effective alternative to quicken but I was very wrong. I tried to set this up on my Mac but finally gave up! $59.00 is sitting in the box in my desk drawer and I've gone back to quicken. Very disappointed

money well wasted
Written by AR from Omaha
Jan 30, 2008
It is a very poorly written piece of software: crashes regularly, does not display data properly (on occasions some items appear to be zero, after restarting go back to the originally introduced values) etc. On the top of that iBank has very limited possibilities when compared to MS Money or Quicken. Maybe version 3 will be better, but 2.3.12 is just pure headache and nonsense. (I am new to Mac OS and I am having second thoughts about my decision to switch: if all software written for Mac OS is of that quality I should think about taking my iMac back to the store.)
