A popular finance program for the Mac has made a move to the iPad. IGG Software’s iBank for iPad has just been released in the App Store.
Featuring the ability to assemble a complete financial picture, the app allows users to review all of their finances in a professional, intuitive interface that takes advantage of the new iPad’s Retina display.
With the app, users can group accounts into separate books for different family members or business and personal use. Users can also manage account details like minimum balance and transfer money between accounts, even if different currencies.
Beyond banking, the app also can handle a number of investment types, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, IRAs, 401Ks, ETFs, and CDs.
The app also features powerful budgeting capabilities, including the option to create an event-based budget.
And for users of iBank on the Mac, both programs can now sync data via local Wi-Fi or WebDAV without subscription fees.
Available in the App Store now, iBank for iPad is $14.99. There are options for in-app purchases of the Direct Access feature that allows for automatic updates of all your financial and banking information. There is a 30-day free trial of the service for new users of the app.
I’ve never been big on learning difficult financial programs. But I really like the iPad and Mac combination of iBank and will check it out.
