 Excellent financial software for Mac July 26, 2007
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
Most of the negative reviews on here seem to be from recent switchers who are comparing the Mac version to that of the PC. I am a recent switcher (to Mac) myself and had previously used Money 2003 for several years. But, I had little to no difficulty in learning my way around Quicken and am completely satisfied with its feature-set. Although I find the default font sizes perfectly adequate and readable on my 17" screen, Mac has built-in Zoom capability (Cmd-Option -/=) so the complaints from another reviewer about lack of a zoom feature are without merit. I'm delighted that a professional-grade financial product like Quicken is available in a Mac version. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that Intuit should be able to publish a native version of this software instead of leaving it up to Mac OS X's built-in Rosetta feature to translate the PPC code for Intel-based Macs. That said, the software has no noticeable lag as a result of this.
 NOT worth it. June 5, 2007

not intuitive at all and very difficult to use. Previously had quicken for pc and they are nothing alike in performace or looks, quicken for macs seems like 6 year old program. Gave up on it after two days, listen to the other reviews and don't buy.
No customization like in the PC version February 13, 2007

First of all, the font sizes on a 17" high resolution screen are so tiny they are almost unreadable. Unlike the PC version, you have no control over font size, register color, etc. The small font size make the product unusable in my opinion. I shouldn't have to change my monitor resolution just to use the program. It should be able to run in a 1440 X 900 resolution with fonts that are big enough to see. I have requested a refund.
 Works just fine, no problems February 11, 2007

I have been a Mac user for 20 years, but I also have used Windows, and I have used both Mac and Windows versions of Quicken. Over time, I have stayed with the Mac version because, frankly, I like it better. It doesn't have all the extras of the Windows version, but I consider that a plus. It has a straightforward interface, downloads work fine and easier than the Windows version, and it's easier to work with accounts and transactions.
I had been using Quicken 2005 for the Mac. Based on other reviews, I hesitated to upgrade. I decided to wait until Release 2. The installation and conversion worked fine. Everything transferred over without a hitch (I have six-plus years of transactions in 40-50 accounts, including some now closed). Since the upgrade, everything is running just fine.
I upgraded primarily for two new features -- the ability to do estimated taxes using the current tax year's numbers, and the ability to back up automatically to my .mac account. I had been backing up by saving a copy and then manually copying it to my .mac folder. The new backup is fast and easy, much faster than the old manual version. Also, making a local backup seems much faster than before.
In short, everything is working just fine. If you install the software, then install Release 2, then open your data file, you should have the same experience as I did, unless perhaps there is some pre-existing corruption in your old data. My data file is 7.7 MB, and it's working flawlessly.
Not like Quicken for PC January 27, 2007

I am a recent convert to Macs after being a PC only user and have had several years of experience with the PC Quicken version. When I converted to Mac's I thought I would purchase the Quicken version for Mac. Unfortunately, this software is totally different than the PC version. I was extremely dissapointed. First, the user interface is absolutely horrible. In the PC version, all accounts are listed to the left and are separated in different categories. In the Mac version, they are not. Also, while the PC version is pretty user friendly, this one is difinitely not. I have tried both Quicken for PC and MSMoney - Quicken PC is by far superior to MS Money, and Quicken for Mac is just pure aweful. An absolute waste of money (I got a refund for mine). What I ended up doing is loading Quicken for PC on my Mac through Parellels, and then run it in XP. I wish I could get a Quicken version for Mac that will run in native Mac OS since it is much superior to XP. However, until they develop one, I am resigned to using Parellels.
