Good way for me to use excel's keyboard shortcuts that I primarily used on Windows with the alt functionality on Mac. Makes excel on Mac super easy to use!

I cannot tell you how much time this shortcut saves. As someone in the accounting field who just recently switched to a mac this is a literal godsend. Excel work without an alt shortcut is hell and this program has saved me. Worth every penny and then some. 10/10

Finally an add-on that allows you to operate Excel on a Mac like a Windows user. Great to use, simple to administrate, a real game changer – totally worth the cost!

In short: amazing app that enabled me to finally ditch Windows entirely (finally!). AcceleratorKeys satisfies 95% of my excel-needs. It lets you use lots of shortcuts, even less often used ones (e.g. Alt H O M or Alt A G G). That said, as a shortcut heavy-user, I am still missing a handful of shortcuts (e.g. Alt A H). Even more importantly, I hope the next update makes the use more fluid - currently (v2.0.8, using on M2 Pro) I need to wait half a second after pressing the option key to use the the shortcuts. Also, when you have several excel windows open, the app sometimes doesn't work at all. Overall though, outstanding app! Thank you!!

Incredible software! As I pursue my Finance master's degree, using this application on my Mac has been an absolute lifesaver. Special thanks also to Moses who was kind enough to provide me with a student discount!

Bought the app for a year, never got in the habit of using the shortcuts and wanted to cancel.

Emailed to cancel my subscription before it repeated (that's the only option). No answer. Got charged.

Emailed asking for refund. No response. Be warned, this is actually a lifelong subscription you're signing for whether you like it or not.

*** Update *** Owner reached out after this review and has refunded me, thank you. Wish I didn't have to resort to posting a mean review but appreciate you following up.

Cons
subscription issues (3) customer support (2)

It really increases the productivity on excel and it's a must have if you use excel.

Submit multiple tickets asking to move the license to a new machine (I don't have access to the old one) - no response; charged me another month of subscription for a product I can't use. Good job, keep it up and don't worry about chargebacks.

UPDATE: Received response and refund after 6 months so I'm updating my review. The product works as described, but at this point I'm running Office on Parallels which seems more natural than native MacOS Office.

Cons
subscription issues (3) customer support (2)

Total gamechanger - transition to Mac would not be possible without a tool like this. Excel remains primary tool of analysis, and these shortcuts allow for fast/efficient work

Hi, please check your email - it's impossible to deregister or modify billing from my stolen laptop and there's no way to do so if you don't have the old device but otherwise a great, easy to set-up product. Highly recommend and hope Microsoft buys it out to make it native!

updated - the creator/developer was quick to help

+ easy setup (2)
