Bank of Parents 
- Version: 1.1.6, 11/22/2004 01:34PM PST

Great start. Beside the great suggestions from previous feedback. The ability to print a receipt or a monthly statement. Also, crashed and had to force quit.
automatic allowance? - Version: 1.1.4i, 3/19/2004 03:42PM PST

I suggest the addition of an automatic allowance feature. This would add in some fixed amount every week. if i launch the program after 5 weeks it should add 5x the allowance to each account. Allowance would be adjustable per child.
You might also indicate how to register it someplace in the program.
Thanks

The author certainly deserves credit for a quick response; having the ATM speak is a nice touch.
Here are some more suggestions: get a new icon (the current one is simply too plain --something more bank-like would be nice); allow the name of the bank to be personalized; password-protect the main part of the application so that exiting ATM mode isn't just a single click away; allow ATM mode to run in a window; improve the ATM interface (it shouldn't be necessary to use a combination of key presses and mouse clicks for everything-- either method should work); improve ATM functionality (allow children to see recent transactions and print statements).
For 1.5 or 2.0: inclusion of a custom logo or parents' photo; compound interest calculations; import and export of data; check printing; loans; graphs; capability to access a common data set from different machines, possibly using a web interface (so that kids can check balances etc from their own machines).
This software is not at all expensive, but in its present form it doesn't feel feature-complete enough to be classified as real shareware. Again, a great idea but only so-so in execution.

Great idea; needs more features - Version: 1.0.1, 3/14/2004 03:43PM PST

This is a neat idea, if a bit prosaic in its execution (just imagine what John Schilling might have done with it). All the same it would be nice to have some more complex features such as compound interest calculations (preferably monthly to keep it interesting) and separate 'bank' and 'customer' interfaces, so that the parents could do all the necessary tweaking and the children could be presented with a simplified, ATM-like screen. For the moment, sans brushed metal, you could do the same thing with the watered-down Filemaker that lives in Appleworks.
