![]() ![]() I'm actually looking at two DIFFERENT replacements for Quicken Mac 2007. I hope you won't mind a few derivatives questions. Thanks so much for your comprehensive response. ![]() I would suggest you download and try the software out in trial mode, it is fully functional, the limit in this mode is 100 manually entered transactions, imported data does not count. I doubt if it is because of Apple's policies of no discounts since there are people who will only get software via Apple's and indeed Microsoft's apps stores, don't offer the software via those channels and you miss sales. From my perspective I believe that Moneydance 2019 has a number of issues round migration of data using QIF files and also with moving some data sets from the previous version, I believe these need correcting before going to the effort of getting a new version through Apple's process. I can only offer a personal opinion on why Moneydance 2017 is the version on the App store. With Moneydance you can simultaneously work on the data on different machines, it achieves this by each machine maintaining a copy of the data and new transactions or updates being passed between the systems using the shared service. I believe that in general Moneydance will concentrate on services that can support the entire range of systems the software can run on i.e. ![]() The desktop/notebook type systems can use fileshares (this is a byproduct of supporting the dropbox client) to pass data hence why they can function with a variety of services. if you are using mobile platforms like IOS or Android wit the mobile app then you have to use Dropbox since there systems are using API's to pass data and the Dropbox API is the only one supported. Moneydance could use icloud if you are only working with Windows, Mac and Linux systems. I will attempt to answer some of your questions. My guess is that it's because of Apple's "no discount on upgrades" policy for apps available on the App Store, but I'm still curious. I'm also curious why you offer a legacy version of your application on the Mac App Store, but not the current version. Will iCloud work as well And does your method work WITHIN the datafile prevent two different users from editing the same transaction or report simultaneously? And, are items in reports editable (in Quicken, one can double-click an item in a category detail report to edit the underlying transaction). See Finance uses iCloud synchronization to permit access to the datafile from multiple workstations. I've narrowed my choices to Moneydance and See Finance. So, after more than 20 years, I'm looking at alternatives. Also, Quicken 2019 still cautions users not to try accessing the same datafile from different computers. On a Mac listserv I frequent, Quicken 2019 has been assailed for connecting to almost 2 dozen domains when one opens the program (the obvious inference being that Quicken the company is making money from harvesting user data for sale to others). ![]()
