MoneyPoint

I had used Quicken for years but switched to MoneyPoint when I got my laptop computer. I do not use it to budget because I set it up with all of my accounts, money market and CD's, so the income is not my actual daily operational amount. However, setting up the accounts was easy. I love the 60 day projection. It keeps me from every having to worry about overdrafts. The schedule also was simple to set up for automatic payments. I tried to set it up to pull payments from my checking but also to set up another account that would give me a running total of my loan so I could see how much was left after each payment but that didn't seem to work. I found that this program does all the things that I had done on Quicken but for free! I have recommended it to my adult kids and think that it really helps to keep on top of your expenditures.

After a computer upgrade, I could not find my old Quicken software, a program I had used forever. Their free app did not import old files. I started over with MoneyPoint, and I am impressed with its simplicity. It has everything I need and is easy to use!

The best Finance/Account Transaction Tracking App in the Windows Store. I used Microsoft Money and PocketMoney for years and making the transaction to MoneyPoint was a no brainer. The main features that I use are keeping track of multiple accounts and transactions, scheduling payments, running monthly/quarterly/yearly reports, and creating and following a budget. There are several other great features that I have not explored yet. As for customer service, I recently requested for a feature to be added and within 24 hours I received a response stating that it will be in the next version. Once the new version was made available, and to my surprise, the MoneyPoint team personally e-mailed me letting me know that the new feature was available. Excellent App. Superb Customer Service.

I feel like I probably under-use this app, but I needed something clear and simple and this one fits that well. While it does have a lot of extra features, I chose it for its ease of use and clarity of navigation. It's just what I need for keeping track of my daily spending and monthly income.

This system takes a bit of getting use to after using Quicken for 10 years. But once you use it a couple of times to track your check registry its fairly simple. However it does have a few problems: 1) there's no place to put in a check number, 2) it's not easy to reconcile the account, and 3) one cannot create new entries for subject categories (i.e.: credit cards). These need to be fixed.

The GUI design is excellent and easy to use. switching between features is great. The only thing I don't like is the lack of a more advanced help faciilty on things like how to send things from the app to the printer, instructions on how to create a budget, and best of all, a balance sheet feature. All in all, it is a really good start at a fantastic app. Charles McCandless
