SEE Finance 2
reviews and complaints

the best App for financial software, however it appears that it is no longer supported. Too Bad.

12/26/22: Can appreciate the developers response but without a Chase Bank direct connect, it may be easier to make a switch for the start of the new year.

I really like the desktop version, and it's useful to be able to enter transactions on my iPad or phone, but I hate that I can't produce reports with the iOS version. It really limits how I can use the software while travelling, as do not have a laptop.

I am using See Finance 2 across Mac, iPhone and iPad. Every once in a while, especially when using it on iOS my files just randomly loose transactions entered and saved earlier!... making a personal finance tracking tool such as this one frustrating and totally useless!

I like the desktop (Mac) version so much. And I found this app to compete strongly with the big names here. However, the mobile version is good with a room for a lot of enhancements such as better synchronizing, reports, and easier entering for a transaction. Keep the good job.

Good categories, but a very naive app that only sums up! When you record a debit on an account, it won’t credit any from the source account, so you have to enter every transaction twice and if you forget, you’ll be no more balanced. Could’ve bought a notebook and a pencil instead.

The app on the iPhone/iPad is painfully ugly and it doesn’t copy over parameters like hidden accounts to the iPhone or iPad. You can’t click on the Overview or Portfolio.

Hopefully they improve the app soon. If the developers are reading this. I WOULD PAY A LOT MORE FOR A GOOD APP!

I’ve been using See Finance on the desktop for over five years. Although it isn’t perfect, it has been reliable and exceeded my expectations based on years of using Quicken for mac. The iOS app is a great companion and I expect it to improve. The app is useful for review and making quick changes. My biggest wish is report support.

I love the Mac version of this app and have been using it since 2009. This mobile app has a lot of the same options. It’s great for recording transactions while out and about and also for editing transactions during free time. The developer has always been quick to answer questions over the years including one recently about the Mac app.

Thanks for the great apps!

Almost every time I close the app on my iPad, the changes I made do not save to iCloud. This is an intermittent problem, because sometimes the data does get uploaded. I can’t rely on data entered on iPad showing up on the iMac version which is sharing the iCloud data. The iMac changes always upload and are available on both the iMac and iPad. Has me looking for a different app.

Been a long time quicken user for over 20 years and have never found anything that I liked better until now! This is the greatest financial tracking software there is IMO! And no rotten price gouging after being a loyal customer. Quicken offers nothing for loyalty but offers cheaper prices for new users. I’m sick of it! Move over Quicken it’s time for me to “See”better! Kudos to See financial!

I downloaded this app and tried to use it on my IPad. I can’t download my transactions from Bank of America. I read the help section for IOS and still can’t find what I need to do to connect to my bank. This should be spelled out better in your description. It sounds like this can only be used if you have a business account. I would like a refund of my money since I can’t make this app work for me.

The price is a one-time purchase, not one of those subscription snowballs. The app records routine data with admirable clarity of entry and viewing. And it is perfectly coordinated with the Mac app for heavier lifting like investments. The sync is by keeping the data file on iCloud. The unit couldn’t be cleaner or more efficient. And, to emphasize, there’s no hassles with subscriptions. A five-star production if there ever was one.

This was a great piece of financial software that appears to no longer be supported. Scimonoce Software has not responded to requests for customer support in 8-9 months. Just recently downloads from Fidelity started to error out (code 500) and are no longer updating transactions. Requests for support are replied to by a automated email saying there is no support other than the web site.

Sad to report I need to start looking far a replacement.

NINE years ago here was an exact quote from the developer: "The iOS versions will not be as full featured as the desktop version initially, but are planned to be full featured in the future."

SIX long years later this app was finally released, lacking major features like reports, data import/export, and scheduling transaction maintenance.

THREE years later none of these essential features were added. It took three years just to add two tweaks: duplicate transaction and memorized transaction processing.

ONE year later absolutely no additional enhancements have been made. Feature requests have duly been submitted via email, as suggested in the Developer Response below. All requests, major and minor, have been "prioritized" but simply forgotten.

The "future" is here and it is certainly not "full featured." Sadly, this product has been abandoned.

They downloaded to my laptop and to my iPhone, why not to my ipad_
Thank you

I did all the noted suggestions, now it does not download to either device. I have lost all my banking info. The file is there but will not open. I had the file before on the one device, uploaded it to iCloud and saved to a different place on that device, however, the file is still un-useable after following the instructions!
I feel as though I should get my money back from both versions that I purchased, as neither are useful to me now!

Beta was only installed on the iPad, the files were saved on a laptop. Maybe a Beta version could of interfered with the Cloud backup, however that should not have interfered with the self contained back up on the laptop without Beta! If the file was saved in two completely different places, and not on the iPad, the Beta version on the iPad should not have effected that saved file! I had the file open on my laptop after reinstalling to IOS on the iPad. If I had not done what you suggest in the first place to get the file back on the ipad, I would still have that file! So please do not make this out to be all my fault the file is corrupt!

The handling of finances and syncing works very well for me. The set up was the tricky part in getting banks to accept online access.

But the everyday use of this app is aggravating due to user interface issues. On iPhone 8+ almost always, I am unable to read the full transaction...Payee name cuts off, Category is cut off, and forget Memo. This is due to SF using System font size default. While that’s acceptable for emails, texts, and web pgs that wrap, not for financial ledgers. Sure, I can adjust it quickly in Control Center, but is that the typical experience of any iOS app? So a preference setting for this is sorely needed...it really makes it impractical to use right now.

Overall, the UI has various design flaws especially with settings & prefs...it’s always dependent on the screen context instead of universal to the app; you have to change context (account, report, data file) to change that UI.

And for God’s sake, can some financial app help us lefties and NOT have the new entry “+” on the right side, especially at the bottom...at least put it in the middle!

Overall a good app but this is due to the years and efforts put into the Mac version...this iOS app just suffers from 1.0 and the need for better development for a mobile device.

See title, useless, waste of $4.99.

I love the Mac version. The iPhone app was ok until IOS 14 upgrade, now it crashes all the time.

My bank is listed as supporting account download (and does with other apps), but does not appear as an option when setting up accounts. Three attempts to contact support have been ignored. Save your money.

The developer has disappeared. Check recent reviews of the desktop version. Don’t waste your money on either like I did.
