iBank 4.3-Superb alternative to Quicken for Mac

In the battle to provide a decent alternative to Quicken for Mac on Lion,
*iBank* is arguably leading the way with a fully featured personal finance
application that's truly impressive. iBank has come a long way since its
initial release and is now probably one of the best personal finance apps
available on Mac. Version 4 of iBank offers a sleek interface which makes it
a pleasure to handle your personal finance, whether it be your budget,
spending or portfolio. iBank is one of the few personal finance applications
(along with Squirrel) that uses an iTunes style CoverFlow interface to show
transactions and reports which looks great. What about features though? iBank
doesn't disappoint there either featuring integrated online banking which
makes it easy to download and import account information securely from
banking websites. Like Moneydance, it supports bill payment features and it
will import all of your Quicken data. Unlike Moneydance, it can even scan
documents and receipts and attach them to accounts for better organization
and finance tracking and there's also an iPhone app. You might notice some
imperfections when importing data from Quicken 2007 but nothing you can't
tidy-up quickly. iBank takes a bit of getting used to after Quicken but it
has an extensive manual and plenty of tutorials to get you going. There's
also an active forum of users where you can get help and suggest new features
to the developers IGG Software who most users report are very responsive to
problems and requests. iBank includes analysis and forecast tools to generate
graphs, charts and reports for all your financial information. If the stock
market is what you're into, then you'll be glad to know iBank has got that
covered. You can use it to manage an online porfolio, download daily quotes
and get regular profit and loss reports on your investments. *iBank is a
highly professional and complete financial organizer for Mac and a superb
alternative to Quicken for Mac.*Download *iBank 4.3* in Softonic
