This is really a question that should be asked on gnucash-user.  But
I'll answer it here because I'm in a good mood this morning.

> 1.Can you import data from other programs/spreadsheets? 

Yes.  QIF, OFX, MT940, DTAUS, and whatever else AqBanking supports.

> 2.Are you able to download your bank statements? 

Maybe, it depends on what formats/protocols your bank supports.  GnuCash
does support HBCI and OFX-DC, if you know your bank's OFX contact
information.

> 3.Is it both MAC and PC compatible? 

GnuCash works on many platforms, including Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Mac,
and Windows.  Note that Windows came late to the game; GnuCash started
as a Linux application, and most of the development is still done on
Linux.

> 4.Does it have password protection? 

No.  See 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_.22Can_you_please_add_a_password_feature.3F.22

> 5.Can you track investments? 

Of course!

UK?  No.  Only HBCI supports transaction initialization, and only
Germany supports HBCI.  So GnuCash can only initiate transactions to
German banks at this time.

Media enquiry

[Rob Griffin]

Hello

I am a journalist writing a review of GNU cash software but wondered if I
could double check the following please? Unfortunately the PR press team is
unavailable at the moment I've been told.

 

1.  Can you import data from other programs/spreadsheets? 
2.  Are you able to download your bank statements? 
3.  Is it both MAC and PC compatible? 
4.  Does it have password protection? 
5.  Can you track investments? 
6.  Are there direct links with UK banks - ie can you carry out
transactions? 

 

Many thanks for your time,

Rob.
