I just downloaded ibank_3_manual.pdf and ibank_3_quick_start.pdf and read most of the manual.

It looks like it has all the features of Quicken and I'll wager that they actually work!

So for $60 I can have a working and useful financial program.

It looks like a well written Mac program, unlike Mac Quicken 2007 that looks like a crappy Windoze interface.

I think I've solved my Quicken problems. iBank 3!

Don't move too fast. Here's a sample from here:

612______________________ "Anyone who thinks this is a good program hasn't really used it. This has got to be one of the worst programs I've ever had the misfortune of buying. Prior to this I was a Microsoft Money user for about 10 years. It would normally take me 5 to 10 minutes to reconcile my bank statement each month. iBank takes me hours each month. Issues: when balancing your account you put in the FROM and TO dates of your statement. iBank then proceeds to create an extract of just those items that fall within those two dates. Standard accounting dictates that you choose all open items prior to the ending statement date. Since this doesn't occur actual open items prior to the FROM date do not appear as open. If an item appears on your statement prior to the FROM date, the only way to reconcile it is to remove it from your register and re-enter it while you're in the statement mode. There were times when I had to re-enter up to 10 checks. In addition to this fiasco when I wrote and complained to iBank they told me they would add this to there enhancement list. This is not an enhancement this is basic functionality. There check numbering system does not work properly. When assigning checks for posting from the scheduled tasks, all checks post with the same check number. The program is very slow when performing any kind of tasks. Entering checks, saving checks, backing up the file, everything crawls. There are many more issues, these are just some of the major ones. (Version 3.1)"
