![]() Download from financial institutions seems even more reliable and dependable in version 6 than in version 5 where we would fairly often have “!” flags that required repeat download attempts. For us, this never seemed to work in version 5, and we lost data several times when we forgot to save the file manually. Auto-save now actually works - every 5 seconds, I think, and this can be verified by watching the data file time stamp in Finder. – There is a new capability to change payee names in bulk by highlighting and right clicking. Plus, Banktivity report organization and function is definitely improved. I would still like to see increased ability to customize report printouts from within Banktivity, but for now the CSV export capability is terrific.

I stand by all those points of criticism, but my frustration had not been quite strong enough to motivate transferring back to Quicken Mac. ![]() Last year I wrote a strongly critical comment here listing a number of deficiencies of iBank5 at the time of the transition to the new name Banktivity. Congrats on a terrific upgrade which, in my view, advances Banktivity well ahead of Quicken Mac 2017. ![]()
