Hi all

Trying to make the leap 100% to Apple away from winblows, but miss Excel for my personal finances. What is considered the best Ipad App for Personal finance, bills expenditure sums on a monthly roll?

Cheers

I would say Numbers because it is Mac, works on the cloud, can import and export (save) excel files, works on the iPad. You could also buy Office 2011 for the mac and then save work on the cloud ready to edit on the iPad in Numbers. Google also has options.

I use Office 2010 on Windows and Office 2011 on Mac, but SAVE AS excel file format for Cloud, iPad and Internet purposes. In other words, I do the major/bulk work in Office (2010 or 2011) but then use my iPad 3 for minor edits using Numbers. Even if i did not use a laptop and purely had an ipad I would still go with Numbers due to its simplicity/ease-of-use.

Remember, you can get the iCloud Control Panel for Windows too; so synchronising via iTunes for example is not a problem.

Thanks. I've already got Office (2008) on my MacBook, DropBox and CloudOn and used spreadsheets to keep my finances for years but after using the Account Tracker App for the past couple of years, on my iPhone, I don't want to go back to SSheets again. I realise now, I was never an advanced user of Excel and I really appreciate the way a budgeting app is already laid out for you and so instantly switches from summary to detail, without me having to set it all up. I waste enough time as it is, and I used to waste LOADS of time formatting my s-sheets, tidying up formulae etc and that's before I ever got into charts etc. I was probably making it harder than it really was, maybe because I DO have too much time (and I was 100% self taught) but that's just the way it is.
PS - I'm still very much Excel-based when it comes to keeping the books for my little business as an Avon Rep.
