#BANKING SOFTWARE FOR MAC REVIEWS SOFTWARE#
This software came with a machiest bundle, and perhaps it would be nice. Oh, the dreams I had.īut, I was younger and dumber 10 minutes ago than I am now, a whole 10 minutes later. Everyday, those seconds would add up to minutes and sooner or later I’d have myself a whole 18 minutes all to myself. OH, and the time saved from not having to log into my mint account would be seconds. Then I could sit and lord over my finances with an iron fist, I could know what I’d spent money on and what I have in my budget to spend more money on. Oh good heavens did I sit and fantasize about opening up a program and having it sync all my accounts. I really wanted this to be similar to but for my desktop. There must be SOMETHING out there that compares to Quicken.
I have spent hours getting my accounts set up in this program, and even after all of the effort I have put in, I am willing to do it all over again with a new product that actually helps me rather than slows me down. And believe it or not, I am not a stupid person. This product is neither intuitive or user friendly, and has taken me back to the dark ages of pre-computer banking. So, I will be hand writing checks, hand entering checks and hand reconciling them. I have tried printing checks, and sure, it prints checks, but I don’t know which forms Jumsoft is expecting me to use–there is no place to format a or adjust the print layout, or to order checks that are compatible with this product. It does not let me view check or transaction numbers while I am reconciling, forcing me to look up each and every check that I have written in order to match it up. Money does not properly read account imports from my bank and turns expenses into income, which I then have to manually change in every transaction. Perhaps I have been spoiled (I am a Mac user who has been abandoned by Quicken) but it should not take me an hour to balance a simple checking account. This is a ***horrid*** money management product. This is a problem since it costs roughly $40, while you can find some more polished and better solutions for less money. Still, it seems confusing most of the time, and it isn’t exactly user friendly. Overall, Jumsoft Money is financial management application which could be put to a good use. This feature works well and you can add a lot of financial data to it, but just like the whole Money, it can be a bit more polished and nicely designed. This features works well with ability to add Contacts, so you can assign your money flow to a specific person in case you expect some income or expense. Money also integrates Foursquare to help you find payees, which lists all nearby businesses. Schedules can be added for you to be reminded of occurring payments, which is a standard tool for money management apps. If you manage to find your way through, and keep all your financial data in sync over the internet, you can make use of Money’s scheduling and reporting.
When information piles up, it can become very hard to find your way through. Information is mostly presented in a spreadsheet-like manner, which is simply boring and uninteresting. This is a problem which occurs with Money in almost every aspect of its interface. Budgeting with Jumsoft Money is easy to handle, but the information could be presented in a bit more visually pleasing manner. Most users use money management software to help them create budgets in order to achieve some financial goals. Some of these features, Money-specific, are budgeting, scheduling and investment tracking. Just like with any other money management application, these are starting information which are needed to access the rest of the features. This application has ability to create several types of financial data files, so several users can access the same file, but this seems a bit problematic to set-up and use, especially for users who don’t have any past experience. Money lets you set-up separate user accounts in which you can create bank accounts, credit card information, investments, assets and loans. There’s also iOS version available, but you’ll need to purchase separate licenses. In this article we are bringing you a review of Jumsoft Money – available in Mac App Store for roughly $40. However, since Apple introduced Mac App Store, many small software developers got a great chance to reach millions of potential users and this made some applications, which were recently unknown, very profitable.
By now you must have heard about Quicken, which was probably the most used money management application for many years. Applications which let you track your household’s money flow can be very helpful, it can create some time-saving actions and became a real productivity tool.
