Ipad App

I am after some advice. My dad as always used Microsoft Money to organise his finances, and for years its been unsupported. His laptop is on the blink, and would like an iPad as it's easier to use in his more senior years.  He is after an App on a iPad that offers something where he can manage his many accounts/transactions/simple reports/bills/investments (not bothered if not supported), but he wants to add the transactions manually - not through Open Banking. Is there an App that could do this paid or free ? A benefit if he could import  his Microsoft Money data, but not a problem if not. Thanks.

If he gets on with MS Money he'll like AceMoney. Works on MacOS so presume it will on an iPad

Try before you buy, one off fee, updates for life

I would not rely on that. My mother could not cope with an iPad at all. Her eyesight and dexterity were not good enough. It was too easy for her to touch things accidentally. A big screen and a mouse are easier if your eyesight and dexterity are poor.

Thanks, unfortunately AceMoney won’t work on IPad only Mac, it’s a great bit of kit as I use it. Regards him using an IPad, he can connect to a larger screen if necessary, but at the moment, it should be fine.

Take a look at MoneyWiz. Looks like there are a couple of versions for the iPad. I've not tried it on the iPad but with the Mac bersion you don't have to use open banking if you don't want to so I'd presume it's the same.

I have been using Banktivity for several years (Mac/iPhone/iPad apps - data syncs via the Banktivity’s cloud servers), after using MS Money on a PC for years.

In my circumstances, Banktivity does everything which MS Money did in the past.

Banktivity used to be a paid-for app but now they’re doing a tiered annual subscription, dependent on what services you find relevant, currently £48.99 up to £97.99 per year.

They used to offer a 7-day free trial, might be 30 days now?

I would recommend MoneyWiz.

When I switched to Mac/iPad I moved my MSMoney accounts to Banktivity, 10 years later I'm still using it.
