Mac users and tracking cards...

Do you use Mint, Quicken, iBank (Mac's money software)

 

It looks really good but I have such a hard time with most of these prgrams, I loved Mint for a while but a few of my banks won't sync up to them including Navy and that is just annoying and to me defeats the point of it!

 

I'm sorry MODS if you have to move, but since it's about tracking CC I was hoping maybe it would stay Smiley Happy

Re: Mac users and tracking cards...

I'm curious about iBank. I hadn't heard of it; my bad.

 

If anyone uses it, and they have USAA, and it reports and updates USAA, I'd be a happy camper!

HAHA, I hope you get USAA and I get Navy to work!

 

the review I have red on iBank basically say if you own a MAC and you like how programs are laid out on a MAC you will love iBank, it just makes sense to people over the other options (That's what I read in multiple ratings and it's only $59 at store but when looking for something else this morning I did find a Mac Version of 09' Quickbooks which is kind of expensive but if I remember correctly I didn't like it and the fact that I forgot I even owned it proves further I didn't like it!!! LOL

Re: Mac users and tracking cards...

So, I will go out on a limb here. I use YNAB - You Need a Budget... A different way of thinking about things and does help you control your spending. Google them for more information.

 

I have set up a register for checking, savings, and each credit card. I budget monies to the different catagories and spend against it. I never fall out of grace with this software. I have used Quicken, iBank, Mint, and one other that I have forgotten. I do really like YNAB.

 

It takes some time to get your head around their concepts, but I can tell you once you do you will never look back. Runs on Mac, Windoz, and Linux.

 

End of shameless plug!  Haha..

I'm a Mac/Chrome + Android guy and I use Mint exclusively.  Mint Rules!

 

Here's a suggestion... whenever I've had a problem with any account, I've shot an email over to their customer service team.  They usually get it fixed within a couple days, even when Nevada Federal Credit Union switched to OneNevada CU, they had it covered in about 72 hours.

 

Before you go through the hassle of moving, you might want to send them a quickie email.

 

My 2 cents,

I use excel for Mac. Works for me. Liabilities on one side assets on the other. If I need to know balances on every card and account then Amex money manager is what I use.

Re: Mac users and tracking cards...

I whined multiple times on Mint, and they could never fix it. Smiley Sad (at least not for me)

I use Quicken for Mac.  I'm pretty happy with it.  It updates my accounts every day.
