I've tried really hard to like this app but I continually found frustration in using even the most basic functions, so annoying in fact that I've given up and am going back to Quicken. I might add that this is my 2nd attempt to migrate to iBank so I've given it a serious go. The app looks great and the iPhone functionality is fantastic, in fact it was the driving factor in me giving the software another go, but the assorted bugs, flaky widget, forced mouse input, horrible reconciliation method and lack of the ability to do even some basic functions make it's use too much of a compromise for my needs. At version 3 I would expect better. I hope that it improves & will take another look at v4 or 5.

Still too many shortcomings - robbyx--2008
BINGO!!!I, too, have tried to like this app. Several times. On the surface it looks good and some of the functionality (ie: iPhone support) is VERY nice. But entering information is an exercise in frustration and reconciliation is just plain bizarre.
No matter how many times I try iBank (and other assorted OS X finance managers), I always come running back to Quicken. It may not be ideal, but at least it WORKS.
