To the left are your accounts, to the right, your register. The moment you open up iBank, you are greeted with a beautiful Mac-like interface. A quick Google search and a few clicks later, I found iBank. I don’t know why it took me so long to start looking for alternatives. 75 one star reviews versus 12 five star ratings. It is just plain ugly to look out.Īfter scanning the reviews on Amazon, I can say I’m not the only one with a low opinion of Quicken for Mac. You windoze users have no idea what I mean by that statement, but fellow Apple enthusiasts know exactly what I refer to to. The interface is definitely very “un-Maclike”. I belong to a local Credit Union, so I can’t download transactions or any other cool stuff like that. I balance and reconcile my checking and savings account, occasionally graph what I’m spending, and that’s about it. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t use more than 10% of what Quicken can do. But the Mac version of Quicken sure left a lot to be desired. I was used to programs being different between Windows and Mac.
I became an avid Macintosh user about 3 years ago, and of course, brought over Quicken to the Mac. Quicken always works well and is an awesome way to track your finances. I’ve been a Quicken user since, well, almost as long as I’ve been a computer user.
