Moneyspire 2016 Plus - Personal Finance Manager App Reviews

I do not review apps often, am a very long time user of Quicken for Mac & NOT affiliated in any way with Moneyspire. The the reason for this review + purchasing it before any comments: 1. I requested add’l info. from the developers of other finance apps I was considering, and was completely disregarded, therefore not buying them. 2. Prior to purchasing Moneyspire 2016, I sent a detailed e-mail through their website asking for itemized information I could not find in their support. 3. Moneyspire’s response was fast & impressive, answering ALL questions with clarity, hence the 5 star rating. FYI: Upon opening Moneyspire: 1. In the 1st window choose “Demo Database” which is very helpful in learning its structure. 2. Keep checking between the built-in help file and using the Moneyspire Application Menu to better understand how it works. 3. I also exported a Quicken file, imported the file, chose the 1st option for the date & Moneyspire used the same format I use in Quicken ➜ xx.xx.xxxx. 4. When I quit the app & re-opened it, the info I added into the “Demo” was not saved allowing me to explore other features. I will get a better feel for Moneyspire after I set up my database & work w/it for a while.

Unwisely bought the full version instead of looking at the free one first. Banking connections are tedious to set up. Imported transactions, but reports wouldn’t generate. Cludgy interface.
