It was good until…
I started with Banktivity when it used to be called iBank. It was the app I needed to get me out of Windows and Quicken world. Everything has been good up until whatever recent version introduced the Ledgers “feature”. In short, it has completely blown up my workflow of using the same iBank file saved in iCloud, so I can travel and access it via laptop, or access it on my main computer at home. Not anymore. Now, once you import your old iBank file, you no longer have control of where the data is stored (apparently now it stored on the local machine somewhere in a Library folder). Sure, I could get the same functionality back for my workflow IF I subscribe to Banktivity cloud features. Sorry, but no. Enough with these subscriptions already! So now I’m looking for a replacement because this type of shakedown in the name of “we’re making it better for you” is absolute bs and I know I speak for a lot of other users when I say we are tired of being treated like ATMs. But if you only need it on a single computer and/or don’t mind paying their subscription fees, then the software is likely a better fit for you than me. There was literally nothing wrong with the software before this, and the lack of ability to turn off this “feature” tells me everything I need to know about this company now. It was fun while it lasted, but I’m moving on.

Just keeps getting better.
After retiring in 2018, I was desperate to replace Quicken with something built for MacOS and iOS. Banktivity had recently made major upgrades from its previous iteration called iBank. From what I had read it offered just what I wanted. A cleaner interface, more stability, and amazing customer support. Since then, I have never looked back. Banktivity is beautifully designed for ease of use, for tracking income and expenditures, preparing reports (perfect for simplifying taxes), and for making and living within a budget. Other than my beautiful wife of 53 years, Banktivity is the one thing I know I can will always be able to count on.

Response from developer
We’re so happy you’re enjoying the new features and updates made to Banktivity. Our goal is to continually provide services that help our community better manage their money and pursue all their financial goals.
Best I’ve found
After about ten years using the Better-known (fairly ubiquitous) product for tracking our finances, I switched about five years ago to Banktivity — and never looked back! Straightforward, very intuitive, easy to use app. I’ve used it for business (now retired) as well as for personal financial management. Easy to learn; simple to use; and the updates generally offer incremental improvements of function and utility. I did quite a bit of research before selecting Banktivity. Now, I feel I can pat myself on the back for having made a great choice. I highly recommend!

Keeps crashing after closing it
Since the last version update it keeps crashing after closing the app, and the next time I open it it shows the organiser instead of opening the actual document.
v10 ‘organizer’ pop up is extremely frustrating
It feels like Banktivity is now aiming itself at small businesses with this ‘organizer’ that pops-up every time to run the app and has zero value for individuals. Every browser prevents pop-ups so why did the geniuses at Banktivity think we’d want one? Why can’t we just select it from the menu if we want it?
Update: Thanks for your reply. However the problem still exists. That and some banks no longer connect means Money.Wiz is looking really good about now.
