Now that we’ve covered the newer additions, let’s take a look at what has changed or improved for the older batch of finance apps for the Mac. Us Australian users are at a disadvantage there.įor me, these are all minor issues, but given NCH's approach to software development, I wouldn't be surprised to see improvements in these areas before too long.We'll therefore look at the best on the market for personal finance software, and show you the standout features of each one so that you can get a better idea of which would be best for you. The facility to link to your bank seems to be limited to US banks. But it's inexpensive software, so that's probably an unreasonable expectation. I'd like to see a wider range of reporting options. That said, I find reconciliation entirely unnecessary given the ease of comparing the displayed balance with your statement balance. The issue I've had is that once an account goes out of balance for any reason, it's difficult - if not impossible - to rectify the problem. I would rather it be saved as an imbalance and be able to go in and fix it when inspection of account history exposed the problem.
The notion of assigning an imbalance as an unidentified transaction seems odd to me. Just a great little tool.Ĭons: Account reconciliation seems rather quirky and I note from forum comments that many users avoid reconciling and just check their displayed balance against statements periodically. Moneyline is MS-Windows-compatible and appears to be robust, bug-free, quick to load, and fully usable without risks of conflicts with other software on your system. NCH is a very user-responsive developer that produces a wide range of excellent, low-cost software tools and supports an active user community. It even lets you set up a budget and, if you like, can alert you to over-spending in any expense category. It lets you set up as many categories, sub-categories, suppliers and income sources as you wish to make classifying transactions super-easy, and the interface is user-friendly and easy to work with. It gives a clear overview of your financial status, with balances in every account clearly displayed, and you can easily track account history and transfer between accounts. It operates off-line, although it has the option to link to your bank account and import transactions automatically if you prefer to avoid manually entering every transaction. Moneyline is a great little tool that makes tracking income and expenses and monitoring balances in bank accounts and on loans and credit cards super-easy. There are some good free web-based apps out there, but many fear that using a web-based application may compromise their privacy or security. Pros: Managing personal finances isn't a task you want to invest heavily in - either in time or monetary terms - but it's important to manage efficiently.
