I've used all of the personal finance apps on the market, and found that most have a hard time syncing my various bank accounts and cards real-time, leaving me guessing sometimes for days. Blick was a pleasant surprise! The team has really worked hard to ensure instant syncronization with most of the mainstream banks and lenders. Impressed!

I rely on my budgeting spreadsheet since it helps me organize my spending data into meaningful charts and tables. That's why I've been comprehensive about switching to a personal finance app, as I found that the data presentation was usually lacking at best. Lo and behold, Blick was the only app that made the cut!
