 Horrible product--PC version much, much better December 1, 2006
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
The PC version of Quicken 2007 is very strong, but very few of those features have been pulled into the Mac version. I use an Intel MacBook, and this program crashed it with regularity. The auto categorization feature is often wrong. As other reviewers have noted the shortcuts often don't work.
With so much wrong with this product, I find it difficult to trust the numbers it generates, and thus is worthless to me.
Do not buy this product.
I Agree--This software stinks November 30, 2006

I'm actually glad to see other people dislike this software as much as I do. I was afraid I wasn't giving it the proper chance or thought it was a Mac thing I needed to get used to. Quicken for Mac is about 5% of Quicken for Windows. Downloaded transactions end up renamed with businesses I rarely deal with, I haven't gotten anything to reconcile since I made the switch to Mac (I'm thinking because of something downloaded incorrectly that I've got to hunt down and fix), and it automatically assigns every transaction I enter to the wrong catagory. Consequently, instead of breezing through my finances as I did on Quicken 2006 for Windows, I'm battling and correcting, reassigning and double-checking everything in Quicken 2007 for Mac. I hate it. But I don't have a better solution. And as far as I'm concerned, the added Widget is a nothing. I thought it would be like Pocket Quicken where it shows me my balances and lets me enter transactions on the fly. No balances. And it's easier to just open Quicken to enter those transactions.
As far as making the switch to Mac from PC, Quicken doesn't even bring your scheduled bills, automatic transactions, smart names--nothing but the numbers. You even have to rename the automatic categories and accounts to fit the limited number of characters allowed in the Mac version or the import fails completely.
A decade of progress?? November 21, 2006

Today I sent the latest version of Quicken to the recycling bin. I have gone back to my old version - Quicken 6 (Yes, that's 1996) by running it using Parallels software. After using the product for a decade, I had hoped to make the switch with no hassles (I hesitate to use the term "upgrade"). The transition was very rough and balancing my accounts had suddenly become a chore.
Please, someone make better finance software for the Mac!!! November 17, 2006

Quicken is fine for very basic finances. My beef is that it could be so much better. Especially for tracking of investments. It is not at all intuitive, and is wanting for so many features. Overall, the software could do much better in terms of options for reports and graphs. Finally, every year they have the opportunity to improve the software and every year without fail the improvements are basically NOTHING. There are many of us out here...I wish some company would try and compete with intuit as they have dropped the ball here. probably because they have no incentive to do any better. Apple? microsoft? someone? please?
If I wanted to run software like this, I wouldn't have a Mac November 17, 2006

I'm sure this product is fine for someone who wishes they'd have gone to school to be an accountant. But if you just want to keep track of where your money is, Quicken just isn't worth the effort. The minimal documentation sure doesn't help.
