Microsoft money equivalent

Oik3

I've used MS Money on my PC for years and I am now looking for something similar to use on my iPad. Mint has good reviews but as far as I can see it doesn't have a UK version.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

I use EasyBooks but it might be a bit overkill as it's really aimed at small business owners but it allows you to do a lot of what MS Money did.

Alternatively, check these out;

Search the forum, the question has been asked on a number of occasions previously (although I remain unconvinced by any of the answers given so far).

I came across a product called MoneyWiz the other day... not sure if it will cut it for the UK, but worth a try:

I've been using Microsoft Money for 10 years now and have been looking for a replacement for at least a couple of years. I'm yet to find anything that is as good unfortunately although I've not had a look in the last few months. I've also tried a couple of the online ones, Money Dashboard I think, and it was appalling, really slow and had hardly any features. I've since moved to a Mac as my main machine but have had to resort to running a virtual machine with Windows just to use Money as nothing else comes up to scratch. The features I require are: -

Cash flow forecast
Cash flow forecast scenarios
Editable homepage and favourite accounts
A monthly report breakdown
A portfolio tracker
Spending limits on categories of your choosing
Ability to create your own categories
Graphical representation of how close to spending limits in your chosen categories you are each month
Easy to use interface.

Nothin else I've treid comes anywhere near to providing all of these functions.

Additional bonus points for having an ipad version which syncs to a desktop version would be nice too but not essential.

Anyone know of anything that fits the bill?

Whilst I don't think it'll give you all those features, try Moneydance.

I use the 2011sp2 version as I don't like the later editions.

It's not fantastic by any means, but I found it better than Quicken.

Thanks, that one does look to be one of the better ones. Can you tell me though, does it do a cash flow forecast line graph, with the ability to add "what ifs" to the forecast? Those 2 features are absolutely essential to me and are deal breakers if they're not there. Anything else I can learn to live without I think.

I don't think it does, but it does support plugins and you can write your own if you have the appropriate knowledge.

One plugin you might be interested in would be http://code.google.com/p/moneydance-forecaster/

I'm looking for similar things to you, Carbonara. I also found Money Dashboard quite slow - anyone tried Lovemoney? I've read some good reviews but not sure the features list is as full as I'd like. I came across a site called moneymojo.co.uk which looks quite promising but I don't know when they are going to launch. I have registered and they do send occasional updates. Otherwise I guess I'll persevere with Microsoft Money until it finally collapses.

i have actually got My monet by MTH software. Is the closest thing to Microsoft Money. There is a free trial and the layout is quite familar. Its not as good but noit a bad compromise. Its imports all you MS money stuff as well. In some ways very sohpisitcated in other ways less so. It really is I rekon a good contender for a replacement

System

The best app I have found is called 'Pocket Money' and comes in Windows, Mac and iOS versions. It can sync between versions. Have used it for over a year. Handles regular payments (like SOs & DDs) and is rock solid.
