[josntme]

Is there a checkbook program that you can use on the mac & ios and keep synced?

Thanks

From reading the reviews at the app store the sync don't seem to work.

What has been your experience?

Thanks

Jos,

Most modern apps have both a Mac and iOS version. My app of choice is Moneydance. I believe iBank offers both as well. So does Moneywiz and a few others. Here is a link with a table listing the major Mac personal finance apps. It doesn't cover all of them but it's a very good tally.



I tried a bunch of them and none are a true replacement for the last version of Quicken. Not Quicken Essentials but the real Quicken (which has been updated to work under OS X on intel machines without rosetta). Of the alternatives, my app of choice is Moneydance.

Thanks for the info. None look like anything I'd be comfortable using.

jos,

I urge you to give a couple of them a test drive. They can be frustrating at first but, in the long run, well worth the time and investment. These days, Moneydance is a critical application. It provides me access to information in seconds that would be a nightmare to find if I had to delve into statements. Its reporting features aren't as robust as Quicken 2007. It's missing a much needed "reconciliation" report. I need this report for a couple of particular accounts and it's the only reason I keep Quicken 2007 around. Otherwise, I'd've switched to Moneydance entirely by now.

I just moved to Mountain Lion less than a month ago so sync was restored for me (it wasn't working in Snow Leopard for me anymore) and I did a sync both ways just fine - Mac-to-iOS device and then a couple days later iOS device-to-Mac. Of course I started with totally new databases and just imported my transaction history from my banks for the current year as I knew they were all A-OK. But then, I imagine you'll be starting fresh too.
