OpenSource GnuCash Accounts Books Keeper Application for Macintosh OSX, A User Experience & User Interface Review

Introduction to Application
I was searching for Macintosh OSX Application that can keep my Accounts Books for free & perfectly.
I found the Mac OSX application called GnuCash, I was excited & happy as it was free & open-source…

Solution

• I downloaded the application, Opened the DMG file, Copied GnuCash Application to Mac OSX Application folder,
• Application Icon was pretty much ordinary with flat colors no 3D or gradients or shadows
• Worst thing was it was having big & Microsoft Windows like GUI (Graphical User Interface)
• Button Clicking was not working
• It had confusing approach for user to where to start from or just how to use it
• GnuCash is alien Application for family of application of Mac OSX
• It gave hint that HCI – UX & UI designer of GnuCash never used the mac before
• GnuCash looses big time even being only open-source application in it’s category

Result

• I was totally unhappy with the application
• I deleted it instantly
• I decide never to view this application again in my lifetime
• Now I am search of new Accounts Books Keeping Application
• I am thinking even keeping Apple iWork Numbers sheet handy will solve the problem

Conclusion

• Never use Microsoft Windows like Application on Mac OSX

Note

• Makers of GnuCash please read this blog post it as important to me as to you…
