it’s at all well known, but i use ‘balance forecasting’. you type in your bill and income and it computes what your future finances will look like. i have like 20 bills to pay each month, so this is really useful.

Um, iBank is made by IGG Software http://iggsoftware.com not Pullets Forever. Pullets Forever just did some contract work for IGG on the first version of iBank Mobile.

How can you not consider iCompta (http://www.lyricapps.com/iCompta/) ? Definitely the best pick among all the apps you reviewed. Many features, clean interface, easy to use, import/export and it has a FREE desktop application for MAC to synchronize with.

Hey Mike, You kind of inspired me to write up something new about why I recommend small banks and/or credit unions, here: A Case for Small Banks and Credit Unions Hope it's helpful!

David
I bank with Citibank (their iPhone app is actually pretty good) but I’m thinking about switching to a small local bank or credit union. Have you written or do you know of any good articles on what to look for, what the pros and cons are of going small?

Thanks

Mike

Adrienne, as for BofA, I just don’t see the benefit to them (or any really huge bank, for that matter) other than having branches everywhere.

My wife has BofA checking and every time she needs the smallest little thing done, it’s a huge process. Big wait on the phone, etc. In fact, she recently tried to change her name with them after we got married and, after 20 minutes on the phone, they seem to have forgotten. It’s been over a month and no new debit card, confirmation, etc.

Meanwhile, I’ve banked with a credit union and now, a small regional bank. They pick up the phone right away, every time, I can walk into a branch down the street and talk to a manager anytime. Their loan rates are lower, and they refund ANY ATM fee anywhere in the world.

So given the choice, I stay away from Bank of America.

Hi David,

Maybe you’ve posted about it before, but what is it you have against Bank of America?

Take a look at WealthCalc.. It calculates your wealth based on annual compound interest in several ways, yet very easy to use.

Am I missing something here? I’ve never found a way to request money on the PayPal iPhone app. Just send money.
