Hello,

I recently chose Homebank after cautiously testing many account management softwares (some of which are profesional).

I need such a software in order to have a clear statistical view of my regular expenses : food, leisure, car... etc. Homebank is an excellent software, because (according to your will) it is simple and user-friendly. I particularly appreciate your effort to make a filter on every available transaction field (it is actually a very powerful and quite rare feature) and the graphical reports are really flexible, pretty exhaustive and good-looking.

Sadly, I can only confirm that the absence of "category splitting" is a very serious flaw, even in a "basic" application. As said Kasimir Gabert and whether you admit it or not, many users give up HomeBank only because they cannot tell it that toilet paper is not eatable (yes, sometimes non-food articles can represent up to 50% of my supermarket bill, and I don't want to divide it in 2 or 3 transactions since this is a "dirty" workaround). I decided to adopt Homebank all the same, hoping that this feature would appear soon. Actually, I am ready to pay for it. But I will be forced to leave HB definitively if this feature is not implemented in the course of 2012.

Bon courage à toi et merci de m'avoir lu.
