Are competitors orchestrating a malicious campaign to torpedo iBank with dishonest, baseless negative reviews? Sure looks like it.

It looks like it to me, as well. I've used the product for three years. It is not as robust as Quicken in terms of its reporting capabilities, but it's much more stable than Quicken and has an excellent interface. It's not like Quicken is even trying to serve the Mac OS, anyway. I would never switch back.

Possibly the manufacturer was pumping it with fake reviews, and Amazon found they were all from the same IP address? Just a guess.

I suppose it's their convincing advertising. Also the assumption that Amazon sells quality products. Amazon should read reviews and respond accordingly. We threw good money away on this purchase.

Thank you, Travis. Many reviews do look fake -- how can a no name brand get 75 reviews in only 2 months of product launch? Anyway, since I've already bought it, I'll keep trying. Appreciate your tips, though.

There are many people that write deceiving reviews. Some are being paid and some are getting free product. For instance a person that gives 5-star reviews for three like products from three different companies the same day or within a couple of days. Saying for each, "nothing worked until I tried this". Also a variety of different products. It can take up are lot of time to do this research. Check the other $100's of various products reviewed at the same time. I have written down the names of 14 people that reviewed the same items around the same time, saying about the same thing. But not giving info that is significant.

It's obvious that many of the possitive reviews are placed on the product by the salesmen of the product. This stuff really shoots the credibility of Amazon's feedback- that in many cases is extremely helpful.

One of the first three posted reviews is a verified purchase, so that one might be credible. The fourth review was a one star review which was the first negative one posted.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is, too good to be true; especially with this many bad reviews. I'm not taking a chance, most images this time of year are family & friends, both are much to valuable to risk loosing just to save a few dollars.

Who cares. If it works then you can add a review. If it doesn't, you can get your money back. Besides, no one is trying to skew the #1/2/3/4/5 seller ratings, and no one is trying to take advantage, especially for 17.95

You are right. The reviews here are very misleading. It sounds like paid advertisement to me. The one place I know that give honest reviews is overstock. You can tell these are real customers, reporting from real experiences.

I thought the exact same thing - such reviews are a destroyer of the forum's credibility. Send me one and I'll give an honest review - oh, except I don't have to pay $80. Well THAT is the part that makes me honest!

I cannot say from experience but did a Google on the company and the comments were not at all encouraging so I cancelled my purchase. The old adage, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true.

I am seeing TONS of "just launched" new sellers selling windows for a very low price. I wouldn't trust them! They have no track record. It looks VERY suspicious. They're probably selling some kind of pirated copy. Bunch of losers.

Did you notice they use the same phrase "I'm a sucker for..." in other reviews? Definitely a bogus reviewer:)

Would certainly say any reports such as this are incorrect. Reviewer samples are not paid by the company and are given away to select reviewers for an "honest" assessment. There would be no hidden agenda for supplying a reviewer with a "one off" build that contains higher end parts than what is claimed as this would surely be discovered over time.
