 DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. KNOWN ISSUES LIMIT FUNCTIONALITY February 1, 2008

Do NOT buy this product. There are known issues that prevent you from registering this product. As a result, you will not have 100% functionality. I have dealt with Intuit customer service and they are of no use. They say that the only way to register is through the program, and they know it does not work. I am extremely disappointed with Intuit.
A major disappointment January 25, 2008

I have been using Quicken for many years. It began as a wonderful user friendly program for balincing a number of accounts. It was slick! Key word was "was". With every new version there were new whistles and bells. Things I would never use but the basic function we needed remained usabe. Reciently I upgraded to an Imac running Lepord (aka OSX). The instalation was problematic so the I had the Apple Genious bail me out. Once running I discouvered that not all my reports, scheduled transactions and other files did not make the leap from the PC to Mac platform. Trying to use it led to our next geat disappointment. I don't know how they hadle their wisbang stuff but for doing the check book if falls miserably short. We will be keeping a PC around just so we can run a usableform or Quicken.
This is an awful program. That about sums it up... January 20, 2008

I would give this program only one star except for one fact: It doesn't crash and eat your data, and the backup settings are actually pretty good. All that said, believe what you're reading in the other reviews: the functionality of this program is terrible.
1.) You can't select more than one transaction at a time. This is currently a problem for me because Quicken's insanely non-intuitive, confusing automatic download program just plunked three or four thousand of my credit card transactions into the wrong account. So, I'm going to have to move them all one at a time, which is a time-consuming process without a keyboard shortcut.
I tried simply exporting the account containing my data for import into the correct account, but this didn't work - the import kept stalling out, until it finally quit. I tried this three or four times, using different criteria, but it wouldn't work. Something tells me Intuit will be amazingly non-responsive, should I attempt to contact them about this bug...More likely, I'll take another reviewer's suggestion and buy a copy of Parallel Desktop, so I can run an actual financial management program instead of this waste of $69.
2.) As others have mentioned, you can't sort transactions by many criteria at all. You have to go through a number of confusing steps to create reports, etc., which makes the workaround for the problem difficult to use.
BE WARNED - the 10.5.1 Leopard update broke my copy of Quicken, and tonight I wasted a couple of hours reinstalling Leopard from scratch, as it's nearly tax season and I need access to my financial records.
There really aren't many other viable options for financial software for Mac. This is definitely a market niche in need of a fill. Until then we're stuck with this bomb. Unfortunately.

For the love all that is good in this world...run, do not walk, RUN away from this software. Where should you run too? A copy of parallels, VM ware, or bootcamp and get the windows version of this program. Since switching to the mac I have been frustrated with this "software". It had been sometime since I had used personal financial software and the first time on a mac. I thought man....this program seems worst than my 2002 version on windows. After trying the usual suspects, liquid ledger, ibank, icash etc. I went to the windows 2008 version of quicken via parallels. Oh my god! the feature set is night and day. The windows version has about 15 essential features that the mac shows no signs of ever attempting.
Until intuit gets serious about the mac version stay away from this nonsense.
