Comments and Reviews
I've been using GnuCash on Fedora, Ubuntu and the portable version on Windows 7 and Xp and i've nothing bad to say. Importing from banks work great once you learn how to use it better. Works with Banco do Brasil OFX export feature.
Eu uso o GnuCash no Fedora, Ubuntu e uso a versão portátil no Windows 7 e XP e não tenho o que reclamar. Importar de Bancos funciona muito bem uma vez que você aprende como se faz. Dá para usar os arquivos OFX exportados no banco do Brasil.
This "top negative comment" is 11 years old. OK, I'm going to bite the bullet and try the app and report back on these issues.
And this app is mis-categorized! It shouldn't be under Home/Backup & Sync!
It should be under Business & Commerce, with Quicken and Mint.
I love this app. Althought i need to learn again about basic accounting.
Overall is okay. Yes about interface is too old. But it not decrease my satisfied opinion.
I think it will better if there are feature which can save file in cloud. Many will say it not save. But on several people, saving on clouds is make people which work on severall device got helped.
GnuCash is a powerful tool for managing your money. It requires some knowledge of double-entry bookkeeping, but this also helps you maintain accuracy and transparency. By adapting your finances to the GnuCash model, you can make smart and elegant decisions.

You are forced to use Sunday as the start of the week.
Help on the application: “a simple accounting program”. Knowledge of accounting by the user is required. "GnuCash is easy to learn" is not true for those who do not know accounting and its terminology. Site without Russian language. Wiki too. Folder with installed application - 8590 (!) files. "If you are just starting (...) try to control your checkbook with it" - has anyone in Russia seen a checkbook live? "Then you might decide to track your out-of-pocket and credit card spending" - why a credit card and not, for example, a debit card? "Did you buy a car or a house? GnuCash will help you plan investments and track loan repayments" - i.e. does buying a car involve a mandatory loan?.. In short, it is impossible to understand the application without help on it, but it is also impossible to read a disgustingly written manual.
