Moneydance

I used to like this app and used it successfully in combination with the Moneydance application for Windows. An extension to the desktop version allowed synchronisation between the desktop and mobile device. A few months back I would have given it a 4 star rating. Unfortunately, with the latest versions the developers are focussing on synchronisation through dropbox. (Considering the security breaches of dropbox I won’t be putting any financial data on this service any time soon.) Reliable local network synchronisation is not longer a priority for the developers. After submitting a support request, which included a workaround, I emailed back and forth for several weeks, after which they finally presented me with my own workaround, but no solution. As synchronisation (without dropbox) is no longer working, the app has no further purpose. Shame...

I download the app yesterday. Installing the app was easy and I had no problems linking it using Dropbox to my PC. But on the downside: It allows me to enter, edit and delete transactions, but not much more. It appears that there are no tools or preferences. I see that there supposedly is an ability to require a passphrase or biometrics to open the app, but I haven’t yet found how to do that. Overall it just seems like a very simple app that could stand some enhancements. Update: Upped my rating to 4 stars. I finally found the settings and figured out how to enable biometrics.

I used Quicken for years and barely scratched the surface. Plus I felt I was paying a subs for lots of things I did not use. Moneydance is more focused and much easier to develop budgets. Or perhaps I just figured it out. Either way no subscriptions!

Don’t bother. Product can’t sync via iCloud under Sonoma so requires a Dropbox account—developers are unequipped to resolve problem.

This is the first I’ve use MD on my iPad. Previously used my MacBook Air. It works very well for recording my expenses while on vacation, but I’m disappointed that investment accounts are not supported. That’s the main reason for why I give it 3 stars.

Love the convenience of the mobile app and it works very well. It’s the desktop app that needs some work before it could be considered a suitable replacement for Quicken. It can be a little quirky.

I love it although I upgraded to the latest Money Dance and it would not work on my Mac. I had to use the previous version. I contacted them but they never got back to me.

The balances are still off and haven’t been able to fix it. The solution you provided didn’t work. Otherwise I love the program.

I have been using Moneydance for at least 10 years. I tried QuickBooks and threw it away, I could not get it to do what I needed WITHOUT A LOT of unnecessary effort. A customer for Life.

I used Quickin for years before I switched to MoneyDance and it was the best move. I like that it’s easy to enter transactions on the go, and that it interfaces with my computer for more my more in depth reconciliations and budgeting.
