SIMPLY MONEY V2.1 Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First I'll vent. What I received is not Simply Money 2.1, it is version 2.0b repackaged, which I have already had for several years. Further the publisher identified is not Victory Multimedia but Simply Media according to the packaging. The simplymedia.com web site indicated on the case doesn't appear to even exist. I have not tested the fax # stamped on the CD.
I have used Simply Money for 8 years and am generally pleased with the product. I was hoping to find the much needed bug fixes, including some annoying Y2K issues, fixed in this "new" release.
However if you seeking an alternate to the expensive and bloated Quicken or MS Money, this could be it. The reporting is more extensive and versatile than Quicken. It is easy to setup and use. The stored data are reliable. When windows goes south, I've never lost more than a couple of transactions.
The down side is: this product suffers neglect. Its had too many owners who do nothing. The online banking features are probably long since obsolete, but I don't use them. It is not a bad product and probably could compete with the "big boys" if someone would fix it and bring it up-to-date, a relatively modest effort.
Bottomline: Great value, full featured, quite useable, but needs some fixes and modernizing. It is not a new version , so don't get burned like me.
