Read What Others Think of MoneyWell
Of course we love our own software, but what do MoneyWell users think?
Just had to say how much I truly appreciate this application. I just balanced all my statements (all 8 of 'em) in less than 45 minutes. I don't think I've EVER done that before. Moreover, we haven't overspent our income since we started using Moneywell, also a record for us.
Thank you, Kevin, for writing Moneywell and helping me finally get a handle on my family's finances!

I wanted to write and express my impression of MoneyWell and the Website for it. First, the website is extremely well put together and I love the video tutorials. Also, the concept of try before buy is critical for me to "kick the tires" of a product. I am 100% into the envelope system and was using [another product] but got tired of the constant system crashes requiring me to reboot and lack of features. It seems that MoneyWell implements the envelope system and provides most of the other capabilities found in the full-blown money management products.

As I come to the end of my first month as a MoneyWell user I can honestly say that it really has been a life-changing application. For
the first time ever I haven't been desperately waiting for pay day and been really pleased that this month it is three days before the end of
the month (we're paid on the last working day of each month). I actually have enough money left to see me through the weekend without
dipping into next month's money and I've also managed to set-aside 50% of the money I need for some special purchases next month.
From someone who has always been really bad about spending and managing money this really is an amazing feeling and Kevin, thank you so much for the application itself, for your great customer support and most of all for helping me become just a bit more financially responsible.

Wow! That was quick! I really appreciate the prompt response.
By the way, I did a lot of research into looking for the "best financial software program". For years I have used Money but it was cumbersome, limited and ultimately wasn't helping me manage my finances. Your program had some nice reviews and then ran across a blog that mentioned you personally were involved in the user experience and really went out of your way to offer support. Especially to this blogger that was going to trial your program and another one. Ultimately it was your passion for a user-friendly, helpful program that tilted the recommendation to Moneywell.
Tonight's e-mail from you is evidence of your commitment to a quality product.

[MoneyWell] was the first financial application I immediately grasped! On top of it, it is also one that is perfectly usable for non-US financial work. Too many times I've seen it happen that this market is truly forgotten... Keep up the good work. I'm a happy MoneyWell user!

Love your program; Love your blog. I purchased your MoneyWell program several months ago, and all has been well. I transitioned (imported) four years of data from Microsoft Money into MoneyWell and the transition went perfectly. All the numbers matched perfectly, no dropped transactions, everything categorized exactly as it was suppose to be.

Whoever is the developer of the software I have to say he/she has done a fantastic job. It is simple, intuitive and informative. I love the way it carries any costs or pending money into the next month. It is the best personal financial software I have ever come across.

I mainly just wanted to send a quick note to say that I love MoneyWell.... I have been so impressed by your level of integrity and care for the customer.
Luke S., Orlando, FL, USA
I just want you guys to know that I will be recommending your program to all my friends, family, and whoever I may meet. I cannot believe how detailed and how user friendly the program is! It's absolutely incredible! Thank you.

I've only been using MoneyWell for 2 months and already my spending behaviour has changed considerably! Thank you Kevin and the rest of the team! I'm waxing lyrical about you here in South Africa!

You know that feeling when you get an application and all of a sudden you can see how much easier it makes your life or all the cool things you can do with it? Well I just got that right now.
Aaron D., Columbus, OH, USA
Thanks again—your customer service is beyond fantastic!
Amy S., USA
Wanted to say a big thanks for the latest update and the program as a whole. New printer features are great! I find the program VERY useful--it's really fun to take care of our finances and real easy to see exactly where we are at. Thanks a ton! I also wanted to say that I've found this to be the most effective software tool for money management that I know about.
Nathan S., Escanaba, MI, USA
I've only been playing with MoneyWell for 1 hour and I am convinced. I will buy. Thank you for an awesome program. Keep up the good work. The Mac development world needs more folks like you!

I have just had a quick look through Moneywell, and without having used it yet, it appears to have answered all of my frustrations I found using Budget. And likewise the passive documenting model of Quicken/iBank etc. I have been scribbling ideas around how to make the envelopes model work simply and it looks like you may have done it... Nice work.
Darren L., Melbourne, Australia
I have no idea how many positive emails you get, but I just wanted to send you a big thank you for your hard work and speedy updates and replies. Your program makes sense to me and is easy to use. Thanks for helping me control my spending!
Brett B., Orlando, FL, USA
Thanks again for your great software and keep up the good work. It is definitely appreciated.
Sandip M., Fort Worth, TX, USA
Wow!
That was the fastest support reply I think I have ever gotten!

The public reviews are pretty sweet too:
I've tried nearly every finance managing app available for Mac... and finally found out that MoneyWell was the best for my personal use. The great thing about MoneyWell is the way it allows you to manage your budget: it uses the envelope method, so you put money in different "buckets"/envelopes and use it until the bucket is empty... you're not checking the way you spent your money after spending it (like in most apps). It allows you to really control your spendings, not just analyze them afterwards through reports and stats.

This is simply one of the easiest programs I have found to handle my budget requirements. Super smooth interface, superb support and modest pricing make this one tough program to beat! Two thumbs up for this software!
rkm001, MacUpdate review
This is one of the best finance apps I have ever used. It has a clean interface and has really helped me get my finances in hand. The best part is the developer is **EXTREMELY** responsive. I use a-lot of software and there are always a glitch or two. The developer continues to work with you until the problem is solved. This is a major rarity in the independent software app world.
It just keeps getting better from there... try it out and see for yourself. One warning though. Watch the online movies and read the explanations. If you are used to using Quicken or Mdance then it will take a few moments to get used to the philosophical changes this type of budgeting brings to the table.
I can't wait to see how good this is going to be... watch out Quicken... there's a new kid on the block. (11/4/2007, Version: 1.0.6)

I've tried most of the Mac finance packages in the search for something similar to Microsoft Money. MoneyWell isn't that, but what I discovered was that I had been looking for the wrong thing.
MoneyWell has a different philosophy - and is aimed at helping you budget each month and track where you are spending your money. Instead of getting to the end of the month and discovering that I had overspent, it is now evident before it even happens.
This change of emphasis is really refreshing and I've found it a much better way of tracking my finances. Having said that, MoneyWell offers many of the features of something such as Money - including a very nice reconciliation feature. It still lacks a few bells and whistles, but development is constant and (most important) building on a stable base. Highly recommended.

A new approach of personal finance. Fantastic!
Yannick-P., MacUpdate review
Everything works as one expects on the Mac. Excellent video tutorials on developer's web site. Well thought-out design. Good tools for taking control of personal finances. Highly recommended.
