My needs are pretty simple. Hell, I might even go back to doing it all in a Numbers spreadsheet. Free and simple.

People love (or loved) Mint, but that’s been bought out by Intuit. Maybe someone else can chime in and tell us an app they love that we should use.

Now I’m trying to find the Saint Grail of the financial management programs. I’ve tried many: - Moneywell – ugly - Money 2 – not too intelligent, buggy - Cha Ching – too simple, buggy - iBank – ?, not liked it.

Is there any other? What would you recommend?

No more... I started importing my CSV files into iBank, which seems to be well established. It looks like it's overkill for my needs, but I'm more concerned about the company being around in a few years. And I don't want to jump on the Intuit train. iBank also seems to have a solid iPhone version. I never trusted Cha-Ching enough to try their iPhone app, so I'm looking forward to having a desktop/iPhone combo.</p> I’d been using it since MacHeist 2.0 and was going to gladly pay for version 2.0 when it got out of beta.

I love the app, both on the iPhone and the Mac, but unfortunately, I have to say I agree with you. I've never been impressed with this "company" in terms of release dates or customer support. They never communicate with their customers, ever. That blog post almost caused me to have a heart attack. ChaChing 2.0 golden master was supposed to be ready months ago. Yet, we're still stuck with a beta that won't even open. I did exactly what you did - I rolled back my clock, added yesterday's transactions, and exported the file. I'm off to a company who actually cares about its customers and doesn't give lame ass excused out all the time about how this or that happened. Midnight Apps has been, and continues to be, a shit magnet. Sorry, Juan. I love your app, but you have some serious work to do as a company. Maybe I'll come back someday, but for now, see you later!</p> I’ve been using Cha-Ching since the initial beta giveaway through MacHeist 1.0 years ago.
