Reply #4: I bought and tried iBank

[Ezlivin]

I really, really wanted to ditch my Quicken 2005 and move to something more contemporary and better suited to the Mac.

It takes four steps to do something that takes only one step in Quicken. Entering checks is not nearly as straightforward and the interface, while Mac-lovely, is very inefficient and requires too many clicks.

If you are used to Quicken you should set aside quite a bit of time to get used to the iBank way of doing things. Others have reported the same frustration over the interface, but others like it. Take it for a test drive and see for yourself.

Some people have installed Parallels or VMFusion to run Windows on their Mac so they can use that version of Quicken.
