I was a huge fan of MS Money and hung on to the bitter end, until my old computer crashed and I could no longer run the old Money program. So I tried this app as a replacement and it really is lacking in a few features. I cant stand how the cleared transactions wont disappear (unless Im missing a setting but settings are very limited). Theres no sorting in alpha or numerical order when searching, you have to scroll. You cant enter a beginning balance to try to balance back to. I also had the same experience where I purchase the upgrade but there was no difference in features, just no more ads.
Its really great for keeping a running total of your money and having it with you when shopping and it is very easy to enter transactions.
Dont purchase it for a robust checkbook system but definitely better than none at all.
