I currently use SplashMoney on my Mac and my iPod Touch (and formerly, on my Palm devices) to keep track of finances. I live overseas and often have to transfer money between accounts that contain different types of currencies.
One of the disadvantages of Splashmoney is that it handles such transfers badly (although, it CAN do them, which is better than some other programs):
1. You can only set one exchange rate per currency--in other words, the program won't allow changes in the exchange rate over time.
2. Often, the exchange rate in software will be a few "pennies" off of the actual transfer value. This leads, over time, to imbalances in accounts. When I try to change the value in a transfer transaction to the actual value, it ends up changing BOTH ends of the transaction to the SAME numerical value!
I previously used to use Adarian money on the Palm (which had a better interface than SplashMoney, but it did not have a Mac desktop version) which had trouble with this problem too.
Can anyone suggest a good finance program on the Mac (with a portable version--preferably for iOS) that can handle such transfers accurately? For international business travelers, a portable finance app such as this MUST be a need!
Thanks!
