Pretty sad to hear @getpocketbook is shutting up shop in a month.

I've signed up for a basic account at @PocketSmith and imported 4 years of transactions no problems at all.

Reviews

So far this program has been a game changer for me. I'm finally able to budget they way I'd always hoped. I love looking into the future and seeing what money I will have left over.

Casey Casburn, United States

This is the best, most complete and most intuitive tool I've ever tried in the finance category. For me, the calendar was the mind blowing feature that changed my perception and minimum feature to expect.

Hugo Vitorino, Portugal

THE CALENDAR! OH MY GLOB! THE CALENDAR! Mint, Quicken, Excel - none give you the similar ability to prevent cash flow problems in the future in such an easy, graphic way. Money software is useless if it can't help you plan the future. I have already recommended it and continue to do so.

Amy Naha, United States

I've tried quite a few of these budgeting applications, but this has been the best experience, supporting the most bank accounts and international currencies.
