I've been a user of mint for a long time but the only thing I can reliably use it for is to track my spending. I don't seem to be able to track any investments reliably.

I've recently switched to a mac and was considering a finance software and did a forum search: If I would only use it to track my investments (Indv- Vanguard, employer sponsored: Fidelity, Nationwide), would ibank be the best option? Any pitfalls I need to know? I don't mind putting in the cost basis but I would want the software to be able to track the investments price and things like that and tell me the% of each fund in my portfolio and other such info. If it can also track all my spending in 1 place, that's a bonus. I also use the specific id method and TLH significant losses and was wondering if anything supported this.

Thank you for your input. Chasely wrote:Has Quicken for Mac improved? Emulator android studio mac. I remember it being awful not too long ago. You remember right my friend.

Unlike Mint, Quicken can store files associated with transactions. Accessibility: Mac vs. Mobile Mint doesn't care where you are or whether you are a Mac lover or PC user. As long as you can access the internet, you can login to Mint. Mint also offers free apps for the iPad, iPhone, Android phones and Android devices such as the Kindle Fire. BTW, when you do contact the FIs and tell them you want them to support Quicken downloads, be sure to state Quicken for Mac, since they may tell you that they already do support Quicken (Win), but that does not cover Mac.

Quiken for mac was garbage. And each reiteration the program would devolve to the point i couldnt take it anymore.

Made the switch to ibank and its more than fits the bill for both my personal and business needs. Learning curve wasnt that big of a deal. Only issuei had was importing all my old data. Ended up starting from scratch and creating accounts with the current balances. I thought i would be crippled without my years of transactions but to be honest i have never had the need to dig them up. And if ever the need arise i can just fireup the quicken program (which i havent done since i stopped using it). I have to commend ibank for one thing.

Its reporting, forecasting and graphs are second to none. Much more functional than Mint's and lightyears ahead of quickens. Long time Mac user. Since 2006 or so, been using: * Yodlee 9.x to track spending, net worth, quick one-stop access to account balances * Google Spreadsheet for asset allocation - see when I've hit rebalancing bands Yodlee has had a newer version out for a few years that has more graphics in an effort to compete with Mint, but it is so unpopular that they've kept version 9.x available via a 'Time Machine' account setting. Seriously, it's not just me - if you Google this, you'll find many people recommending the OLD version of Yodlee. The new version really is that bad.

(The main problem is long waits for the pages to refresh, but also a busy and crowded widget-intensive interface.) I've found Yodlee 9.x is just what I need, however. I've considered switching to iBank, etc, but Yodlee 9.x really does the job for me - All the numbers easily read in one place and loads quickly. I have 40 or so accounts linked, and even get a (debatable) estimate of my house value and equity via link to Zillow.

On my Mac, I use Quicken along with VMWare fusion to provide a small, clean Windows 7 OS virtual machine that's just there to run Quicken and ESPlanner. Everything else is done in OS/X Mac. This is what I've been using for several months and I'm very happy with it. I just recently switched to a Mac and looked at Quicken for Mac but was very disappointed with what I saw. Running the PC version (since I already had it) on VM Ware works very well. I am a long-time Quicken PC user and have finally cleaned up all the bugs in my investment downloading and reporting.
