SEE Finance 2 Reviews

Good companion to the desktop application

Funny208

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.

Needs a login screen

Balois

The iPad version is in need of a login screen or even better Touch ID like every other financial app. In its current state anyone who has access to your unlocked IPad can open your account. I often share my IPad with grandchildren who looking for games will poke at any app to see what happens. I have raised this vulnerability issue to See and I believe it is in there someday update process. Until that is fixed I have removed the app, it’s just too unsafe. Update. Using the developers response I was able to set up Touch ID if I required a password on my Mac Pro. However, if you remove the password from your desktop the Touch ID also is eliminated. It is not intuitive that you have to lock a program on your desktop to set a password on an app. Since I lock my desktop with a password I don’t normally lock programs. This adds another layer that is not very efficient. It does however meet my immediate concerns so I will leave the app on my IPAD. in my mind there is still room for improvement.

Pretty good but some UI issues

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.

Poor iCloud sync

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.

Excellent

This is a terrific app. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Syncs flawlessly (at least so far)

Wonderful software

I use this app on all my devices and enjoy the functionality of them. I used to use Banktivity, but like this better and with no account downloading fees. Yes, there are a few things I would like added, but the developer is working hard to improve his product. The best part is the OUTSTANDING customer service! I cannot say enough. Banktivity took me about a week for a reply. SEE has been between minutes and a couple hours, closer to the minutes zone. No complaints here. Give it a try!

Frustrating!

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!!!

Not being allow to download my saved bank files to iPad

LRSE

Error received is unable to download, error SCP 32032-32179-28438 They downloaded to my laptop and to my iPhone, why not to my ipad_ Thank you Linda 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!

Wonderful

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.

Best financial app For the Mac

SEE Finance 2 and it’s companion app on the iPhone and iPad are by far the best apps out there. They’re better than Quicken. They are a comprehensive solution for your finances!
