![]() ![]() Apps that received only a handful of votes have skewed weighted averages, of course, so we also counted the raw number of votes each app received. When it came time to evaluate the results, we calculated the weighted average for each app, assigning a weight of 1 (Avoid it) through 5 (Can’t live without it) for each the five choices - the best weighted average possible is thus 5. If those two don’t float your boat, check out other apps that scored well in the ratings, but didn’t collect quite as many votes (such as SEE Finance, Moneywiz, and CheckBook/CheckBook Pro).īe sure to look at the full results and read the comments on the original article, since there’s a lot of useful information there that we couldn’t convey here.ĭon’t forget to read Michael Cohen’s articles on “ Finding a Replacement for Quicken” (5 August 2011) and “ Follow-up to Finding a Replacement for Quicken” (20 September 2011), which helped readers understand their needs and choose from the available alternatives.When looking at the top Quicken alternatives by weighted average and vote count, Moneydance (the top rating, second-most votes) and Banktivity (most votes, third-best rating) are the clear favorites. ![]() Still, some have found alternatives to the Quicken quagmire. “You can’t do a good evaluation of any financial management application without really using it for some significant time period,” he said, “and meanwhile you want to keep your data entry current in your current application, doubling the time and effort spent doing your bookkeeping while also doing new appĮvaluation.” Despite the extra work, he continues to explore alternatives (particularly SEE Finance), as he’s worried about Quicken’s long-term viability due to Intuit’s plan to sell it (see “ Intuit to Sell off Quicken,” 24 August 2015). Quicken 2007 user Paul Brown voiced his reluctance in testing other finance apps. To paraphrase the band Chicago, Quicken can be a hard habit to break. While few apps elicit the level of contempt and resignation as the most recent Quicken editions, Quicken 2007 finished near the top for both vote count and ratings. We found that the landscape for finance apps is still dominated by Intuit’s Quicken, but there are several alternatives that our readers recommend wholeheartedly.Īll four versions of Quicken in our survey made the top ten in terms of vote count, with varying ratings. We asked you to rate the Mac personal finance software that’s near and dear to your heart (or that had let you down), and nearly 700 TidBITS readers answered our survey of 34 apps with close to 1,400 votes (see “ Vote for Your Favorite Mac Personal Finance App,” 17 February 2016). #1684: OS bug fix releases, Finder tag poll results, Messages identity verification, blocking spambots, which Apple services do you use?.#1685: Hidden secrets of the Fn key, Emergency SOS via satellite free access extended, RCS support in Messages, Rogue Amoeba icon evolution.#1686: Please support TidBITS, OS security updates, Apple services poll results, biking with an iPhone.#1687: Feature-rich OS updates, recovering from a crashing bug in Contacts, Zoom for Apple TV, how much do you use widgets?.#1688: Former Apple engineer on watchOS 10, Apple hardware testing tool, Stolen Device Protection, Apple Watch sales halted, smart TV privacy abuses.This new HA version now renders this investment utterly useless. An iPad4 cannot be updated to IOS12, and I’ve just bought all the specific iPad4 installing hardware. Going into the app history, I noticed that an app update was issued on March 6th, so after my initial test on my iPad. And here it comes: when going to the App Store and trying to install the HA app anew, I now get the message that this version is ONLY supported from IOS12 upwards. With the intention of using this iPad solely for HA, I completely reset it and installed it as a new device. It got delivered today, it fits perfectly and looks great. So far so great! Thus I invested in some iPad4 mounting hardware (somewhat higher grade, it will basically be in plain sight all the time). The app installation went straightforward, and all my dashboards and functions were accessible on the iPad. I tried installing the HA mobile app on an older iPad4 running IOS10 that I had laying around, with the intention of mounting it permanently on a central wall in our home. I like the environment so much, I want to make it an integral part of my home automation setup, previously primally run on Philips Hue (iConnectHue) and IOS Shortcuts. I recently started using HA and got really into it. ![]()
