Rating: - Not as Expected
Because it was called "Starter Edition" I expected it to be easy to use. I was looking for a simple program to keep track of basic finances. This was complex and much too detailed for what I needed. It may be a great program for those who need what it offers, but I found it was a waste of money for me.

Problem: Account log ons get lost, requiring many tedious to deactivate the account, backup the file properly, validate the new file, re enter the acct numbers and password, reactivate the account.
Problem: Downloads multiple identical transactions fro your accounts which have to be very carefully deleted taking three clicks per deletion. Try that on 2 weeks worth of CC and ATN transactions.
