Do not buy Quicken 2005 |
| This product is a waste of time. You can not get MAC support from Quicken and Quicken is trying to hold users of Quicken 2002 hostage by disabling the down loading feature from financial institutions. Stop using Quicken now - why pay an extra $10 for the Mac version for an inferior version. Buy Moneydance instead, its only $30. |
Worthless |
| I recently switched from Microsoft to Mac and found that this is just about the only financial software written for Mac. I have found it to be very buggy. Some "features" don't work and customer support is non-existant. Downloading account information is just about as difficult as setting up online features. I really do not trust this software. Each week I sit with a calculator and double check the figures. Often Quicken has made "adjustments" for my accounts and I have to fudge figures to get them correct. Next year I will be going back to Microsoft and one of my first software puchases will be Microsoft Money! |
Poor comparison to Windows version |
| I recently switched to Mac from Windows, and was happy to see that Quicken offered a Mac version. I've been happily using the windows version for some time, downloading transactions from Bank of America painlessly and enjoying the calendar feature that shows your account balances. I LOVED quicken. None of my favorite features are available in the Mac version. In order to download transactions into the mac version you have to individually download every account's information, and import them into quicken (one account at a time)--even after all that work quicken crashes if you have too many transactions. This is a complete 180 from my carefree experiences with the windows version. Basically, this program is a poor imitator-- unbelievably frustrating. I do not understand how they can offer this as quicken 2005 when it offers so few of the features of quicken 2005 for windows. Save your $$-- this program will make you crazy. |
