ALMOST awesome - but not quite

I like the functionality, and the GUI. It also works as designed, and the price isn’t unreasonable. The only reason I don’t give them 5 stars is their assinine approach to file import/export format. First off, they require .ofx file to import. Can’t handle .csv. Most banking instintutions don’t even use .ofx, anymore. So good luck with that. So, you have to purchase 3rd party software to convert the file from .csv to .ofx. This software is not available (to my knowledge) in the app store, so you risk loading malware on your mac OR your email address gets put on some spammer’s hit list. So, good luck with that, also.

Best part (and here’s where things go sideways): If you want to export the transactions, your only file format option is (drumroll please) .CSV. What the CRAP is that about?? How in the world can these guys NOT handle importing in .CSV format, but they can ONLY export in .CSV format? Conversely, How in the world can these guys NOT handle exporting in .OFX format, but they can ONLY import in .OFX format? It’s like we’re in Wonderland!

So…they loose two stars for not being able to figure their way out of this. < HINT to iBear: PSST! Hey Guys - Why don’t you just allow import/export in both formats? Crazy Idea, Right? I mean, who REALLY wants to make things better for the customer? >
