2 out of 5 stars Hard To Figure Out   July 4, 2008
I like the things that Quicken does, I just have a hard time figuring out how to do them. I need a "Quicken for dummies" book to go along with it!


4 out of 5 stars Don't always believe the bashers.   July 1, 2008
 5 out of 8 found this review helpful

Unfortunately, most people who have a problems want the world to know, so they bash the product. Every computer and EVERY product is going to have issues sometimes. I've used Quicken for nearly 20 years. I've tried MS Money and, as a bookkeeper, many other bookkeeping types of software. There is nothing on the market that is better. Quicken does everything it says it does. It's easy to use and understand. I download all my credit cards and my PayPal accounts into Quicken 2008 with issue. I scan and attach all my receipts to their transactions in Quicken, so they are easy to find and print out when I need to return something. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because Quicken still has advertising in the software, which I think should not be part of a product we have to pay to use. There is not other software that gives me everything Quicken does and I would be lost without it. I've NEVER lost a file and in 20 years Quicken has only crashed two or three times. I update my older files every other version or so, so that my files from 1989 can be opened in the 2008 version. The software is AMAZING, and the Home and Business version at this price is a great deal. You be the judge, not the rantings of problems I've never seen in 20 years of daily use or unusual computer issues of a very few.


1 out of 5 stars I'm sending it back   June 28, 2008

Family members have used old (2000 - 2002) versions of Quicken for years. Wanting to get a handle on my finances, and running Vista, I purchased this product. I installed it and it would not correctly download my bank accounts. After many hours and 4 rounds of emails with customer support - I decided life was too short. I was pleased that the product has a 60 day money back guarantee, so it's going back and I'm going to try Money, in hopes that I have better luck. This product never worked correctly, and became more unstable with time - within 24 hours of installation it failed to download transactions at all and made my screen flicker. Customer support tried to be helpful, and sent me an email within 24 hours each day I wrote them. I wasn't excited about paying $25 for help with my new program, so I didn't call telephone support. My advice: run.

2 out of 5 stars Run away!   May 19, 2008

I have been a loyal Quicken user for over a decade. I have paid hundreds of dollars in upgrades use Quicken to manage all of my finances. However, The product and support have steadily been degrading. About four years ago I stopped buying upgrades. I was on Quicken 2005, which was stable and working great for me. I stopped updating Quicken because I didn't need the new features and every time a new version came out there were horror stories about how they handled/didn't handle on-line transactions.

I use PayPal every day. At first the new Quicken 2008 way of downloading the transactions was great (that it after I figured out it had duplicated all the transactions I already had in Quicken). No longer did I manually have to go to PayPal to download a QIF file. I could directly important from Quicken. But, suddenly after April 30th, I can no longer download transactions. To make matters worse, PayPal has no idea how to solve the problem and Quicken 2008 cannot import any tab delimited, comma delimited or even QIF files. So, now I have no way to get my PayPal tranactions into Quicken.

On top of that, after paying for an upgrade, Quicken will not provide telephone support free of charge anymore for many types of questions. And, you cannot call them. You have to fill out a web request, wait for them to call you, then they tell you if they fix your problem it'll be $24.95.

I'm sorry I upgraded to 2008. But, Quicken cut off the ability to even download transactions (not just support) to anyone who didn't pay the ransom.
