First, there is new version coming out in February 2010 that is suppose to be a huge update so if you can wait, it might save you some money so you don’t have to purchase it twice.
For me, I have used this software 2 years and have had no problem with it. It installed easily and never crashes or causes a problem with my computer. It is a tad slow on start up, but that seems to be common with non native apple programs, at least in my experience.
I have several accounts that i use this for. I don’t do complex things or download anything from the internet. I do have many, many scheduled transaction set, i have a budget and can see where I am with it, I can see what my net worth is at various times (now, 3 months ago, next month, end of quarter, next year, etc.)-this has been great for me to do debt management.
The reconcile feature has worked seamlessly for me. It is easy to manuever around, edit, etc. I do not do reconciles from downloads.
The version that comes out in 2010 is suppose to be more native mac looking/feeling. although this one doesn’t bother me. It will probably have much more advanced features and be easier to incorporate downloaded information and downloaded reconciles.
The financial software was one of the most difficult things for me in deciding to switch to mac. this is definately not as good as what is available for windows, however, it suites my needs great and I am very excited that I made the switch and didn’t wait until a more improved financial software came out.
If I did not have a financial software program right now, I would still purchase this even knowing that a new version is one the way. I don’t know if I will upgrade to the new version or not as this certainly meets my needs.
