People, (and you know who you are)...nobody but you cares to hear if you think you're too smart for a certain offering, or to whatever reason why you think an offering is a waste of your time. The reason why you should be coming to this site and using these programs is simple: because you appreciate the free flow of ideas and wish to help in the development of products that may one day become refined enough to be worth good money. Don't forget, you are being invited to participate in the testing of these products, and in the meantime, are being allowed to avail yourselves of them for free. Someone out there put a lot of time and effort into building something and is now asking you for your help. If you don't want to offer it, don't offer it. But don't use your anonymity as license to be a jackass and dump all over someone's efforts. Have some respect and a little bit of common decency.

If, however, you do feel the need to opine upon a particular piece of software, keep your comments simple and constructive. Both for the developers, and for those of us who appreciate the value of something free.

Simply ensure that you answer these few basic questions, and nothing more:

1. Were there any problems during installation? (run errors, virus alerts, etc.)

2. Did you experience any errors or glitches while using the software?

3. IYHO, was the software user-friendly? Did it look professional and was it easy to navigate?

4. Is it worth the price that's being asked? If not, why? (this one might be tricky because most developers are looking for honest, constructive feedback)

Know what I mean? I don't care about babysitting...I care about whether my computer is going to explode if I install one of these freebies. Some of us can only afford the one.

Todays offer is a money viewer/edit tool... and believe it or not, but you can save some money today, only, if you download this software now !

Pros:
- Good for those who don´t have Excel or similar programs
- Easy to install and work fine on Win7 64-bit
- Choose your own language inside the program
- Import a bank statement (Quicken, MSMoney, CSV...)
- Add/delete categories and lock the DB with a password

Cons:
- A lot of data to write into the program
- Todays offer is only the Standard version
- First time run show you a 15% off sign
- Scanner/smartphone interface for easy and fast input of data

Conclusion
The idea behind this type of software is usefull for many people. The downside of the program is that it need a lot of input and you´re the only one to do it ! If there was an option for a flatbed scanner/smartphone picture reading interface then would more people perhaps like to buy software like this one !

As a further test I decided to import my bank statements in QIF format, which it did without difficulty. Very rapidly a view of my spending habits emerged as did the general trend, one heart stopping month turned out to be car expenses.
For people similar to myself, the kind who don't make lists, go into endless detail, the kind who just want a really good overall view of finances, this is a great little program!
Honestly I have no financial interest in this program, cross my heart.

Giovanni, I guess Italy is still a "man's world" but in other countries a lot of "housewives" do the budgeting, balance checkbooks and so on. In fact, I would bet that it is mostly women who do all that stuff in their families. So please, do not belittle women (especially housewives!)

Simple to install and activate, and on running an equally simple but well designed interface.
I like the ability to name your own categories and that any notes you make are easy to recall, just go to the transaction.
The overview graph and pie chart give useful information in a simple fashion, it is a very pleasing piece of software at a realistic price.
You could easily get a handle on your expenses and costs etc., but as Trucker #2 states it takes a lot of user input, as do all.
I've tried a few programs of this type, I've even tried to write one but none have been as simple and useful as this particular piece of software, well worth the download.
