IGG has recently launched iBank 4.1 on Apple's new Mac App Store. A leading Mac-only personal finance application, iBank offers users elegant, intuitive means to manage their money.

According to IGG, iBank 4.1 includes major improvements such as three new report templates (Forecast, Category Detail and Expense Timeline), enhancements to the Portfolio report (adding at-a-glance summary information), a new "daily" interval option for reports, a new report set-up assistant for enhanced customization and control over report content, and more.

For those who’ve already decided to purchase iBank, “the next question on your mind may be whether to buy it directly from IGG Software or from the Mac App Store,” the company states on its web site.

“Each store has unique advantages and disadvantages,” the company outlines for those eager to try out its software.

By identifying each customer’s needs based, IGG hopes to make it easier to decide which choice is best for each person.

By getting their software from Apple’s Mac App Store, customers get the following benefits, IGG says:

- One-stop shopping for all of my software - Easy registration with no license codes - Automatic updates without having to reinstall

By choosing to get iBank from IGG’s own store, the benefits are:

- A 30-day free trial before purchasing - An additional 30-money back guarantee - A discount for upgrading from iBank 3

Needless to point out, buying directly from IGG sounds fairly attractive, yet those who’ve already embraced the Mac App Store may settle for the other set of benefits.

IGG assures customers that “Purchases from either store entitle you to top-notch customer support from our skilled technicians, free updates until version 5, and the option to download and reinstall iBank at any time.”

The company does ask customers to note that orders placed through the Mac App Store are not accessible to IGG employees.

Therefore, those who may need assistance with Mac App Store orders will need to contact Apple customer support.

IGG makes a final note that should concern its customers, saying (emphasis ours): “The Mac App Store requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or higher, and does not process refunds at this time.”
