iBank 3 released

iBank iBank, developed by IGG Software, has been updated to version 3. The personal finance management software has gained a slew of new features in the latest version, most prominently that you can sync with your iPhone. You know you want to look at your cashflow while some stranger looks over your shoulder on the train. Also new:

  • Direct Downloads (Get data without entering it manually or downloading some file.)
  • Interactive Graphs
  • Category Images
  • Cover Flow for Transactions (Too much coverflow! My head hurts.)
  • Tax Support
  • More…

It looks really great and priced right at $60 ($30 upgrade). I’m really quite tempted to try it out and possibly switch from competition that can’t even manage a universal binary coughQuickencough.

I'm wondering if there are any shareware/freeware personal finance programs out there that people like... iBank sounds nice, but it seems like dropping $60 on it defeats a bit of the purpose of using a program to help max out your finances (though I suppose you have to spend money to make money).

For several years, I was a Microsoft Money users. It was the only PC application that came with me to the Mac when I switched 3 years ago. I have tried MANY Mac-based financial software packages. None of them offered the beauty, simplicity, and power of MS Money. Then came iBank 2. It was the program that finally let me ditch MS. It wasn't as pretty or as powerful as Money, but it offered the best combination of features for what I needed — basic checkbook functionality. The new iBank 3 has filled in the missing pieces. It is nice to look at, simple to use, and powerful enough to handle my needs. Try the demo, you won't be disappointed. :o)
