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.

Bank of Parents Reviewautomatic allowance? - Version: 1.1.4i, 3/19/2004 03:42PM PST

tadd--2008
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

Bank of Parents CommentaryWell that was quick. - Version: 1.1, 3/15/2004 06:11AM PST

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.
