Best personal software

I like having it sync between phone and MacBook

Keeps asking me to give reviews

The constant prompts for reviews is really annoying. Please make it stop!

Poor but works

This must be one of the most poorly supported apps I have ever used. I’ve been using Moneydance for around thirteen years, if not longer, and in all that time every suggestion or bug I’ve reported has simply been ignored. The app remains cumbersome, dated, and unreliable. I continue to upgrade the desktop version and pay when required, yet despite mine—and many others’—long‑standing loyalty, nothing ever meaningfully improves.

It shows a remarkable lack of respect for the customers who keep supporting them. At the very least, I wish the developers would implement thousands‑comma separators for values. I requested this years ago, but the company appears far too arrogant to listen to what its users actually want.

Intuitive and Easy to use

Nice phone app complement to the MoneyDance app. Intuitive and easy to use; syncs credit card purchases with actual purchase.

It would be better if it intercepted the Apple Pay notices, and a recent update makes selecting the name of the shop/vendor a bit harder.

I use it every day!

Great app but Very Bad experience lately

After trying 3 software I settled for Moneydance almost 8 to 10 years ago and had a best experience. I have upgraded to the latest version everything it was released but for past 5 to 6 months using this iPhone app has become pain. While entering the transaction the first transaction will not have any issue but when I try the second transaction the app hangs and have to force close it. I even reinstalled the app still same issue. I am using Dropbox to sync the data and the app is installed in my iPhone and MacBook

Desperately needs some love

Very, very functional with limited features. I used Moneydance some years ago and liked the desktop version. The mobile app was very basic at that time and as I was becoming more iPad
/iPhone centric I thought I’d try another app. MoneyWiz was a great replacement but as time has progressed it’s become more and more expensive so I’ve switched back again to MD. The desktop is still very good but as far as I can see the mobile version hasn’t changed at all! It’s ok for data entry but doesn’t really provide any value above that. Needs a complete overhaul to bring it up to date. It could even be chargeable ( but not a subscription please)

Update

Has not been updated in quite awhile. User interface is getting old.would like to see reminders in mobile app.

I’m giving you a one because read below

Every time I open the app, you want me to submit a review you don’t need to do it every single time

App is great. Bugging me to review is not

Constant request for review every time I log an entry is driving me to give a 1 star review. Love the app, but constant invasive review requests are not appreciated

Syncing

I stopped using the iOS app because Dropbox syncing is unreliable. The desktop app can overwrite iOS entries instead of merging them. Clearing the Dropbox data periodically helps, but it is inconvenient. I now use two alternatives I created: QIF Shortcut Export, which creates QIF files on my iPad for desktop import, and Local IP Transfer, which sends transactions over my internal WiFi to a desktop program for Moneydance.

Stop asking me for reviews

Constantly getting pop up asking for review. It’s very annoying. Perhaps they will stop now that I have posted.

Asks for a rating after every transaction.

I would give this app more stars if it didn’t ask me for a review after every transaction. I guess that’s supposed to be a feature. Well here is your stinking review.

Great way to manage and understand your personal finances

I’ve used it for many year now, and it is great

Forced to write review

Glitchy, but just ok for basic log of account. Forced me to write a review.

Quite good

Does most things well enough - we preferred Quicken when it was available.

It works nicely

It works nicely.

Great alternative to the bulky big name apps

Wish I would’ve discovered this finance application years ago. I was using a big name brand one for years and this one is so much better.

Annoying

I just want to use the app but they keep asking me to leave a review. Every time I open the app it wants me to leave a review. It’s infuriating.

Best available

Have been using this now for around a decade after could no longer tolerate quicken high price and middling quality. Meets all my needs including bank, credit card, and investment accounts. Handles a large data base. Syncing between Linux, windows, and iOS is solid. Highly recommend.
