Budget 5.3.6 (Mac OS X)

Easiest financial software I've used  

I've had this software for a few years, but I've used it daily for about the last four months. I can't speak highly enough about how well this software does what it's designed to do. There were a few kinks for me learning how to handle my weekly pays, but the tech support was fast and got me going again quickly. Basically, this software replicates the 'Envelope System' your grandmother (and at least one Syndicated Radio Personality) recommends, but instead of using cash envelopes, you use virtual software 'envelopes'. You can set up where to allocate your money for each paycheck ahead of time. If your pay varies, you must allocate every dollar before it will populate you envelopes - just as you would for an all-cash system. A 'catch-all' envelope called 'Available' is where any money you don't want to allocate (yet) will go. You can customize your envelopes with logos and colors, and movement of money between envelopes is quite simple. Envelopes have histories so you can double-check whether you paid bills from your envelopes yet. Once the iPhone version comes out, it will sync with the Mac version and it'll be just like having your envelopes with you - you'll be able to document purchases from your envelopes on-the-fly. Currently, I save my receipts and document them at the end of every day. [alert admin]

Quicksilver 1.0b51 (Mac OS X)

Don't bother downloading, you won't be able to mount the disk image.  

I've bug-reported this weeks ago and still no fix. I can't open the disk image that is unpacked from .dmg.bz2 I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet, as it's a huge problem if people CAN'T EVEN DOWNLOAD YOUR SOFTWARE! I've looked and I'm not the only person with this problem and it happens no matter if you try to d/l it from versiontracker or the developer's own site. DEVELOPER - please fix your download so that people can actually use this product! [alert admin]

Transmission 0.6.1 (Mac OS X)

Crashes like nothing else!  

Crash! Crash! Crash! This program crashes WWWAAAAYYYY too much for me. When it restarts after a crash, it TAKES MY COMPUTER OVER for about an hour. I can do NOTHING for an hour - sometimes longer! That said, it's the best designed program out there for this sort of thing. Hopefully they'll take care of its 'crash-o-matic' nature. Please? Pretty please? Fix the crashing? [alert admin]
