First, if you are used to double entry bookkeeping you lose all the advantages of it. You have to be an accountant to appreciate what that means. Single entry is prone to mistakes. But you will find many faults in Quicken, many of which have been identified--something you will find if you go down the rabbit hole when looking for an answer to a vexing issue. Just one example; How you list an account in the Account list is clearly important. But say you want to move the intent of an account from retirement to investments. Turns out if you have a Mac there is a way to do this. Windows users? Out of luck. And there are many such differences and anomalies in the app. What is even more maddening when you look at the dates of questions users have pointed out, is that Quicken (Intuit actually) has known about these deficiencies for multiple years and failed to fix them. Ive noticed as an accountant that the accounting profession lost first place as definers of accounting principles and practices to programmers and computer nerds. These well-meaning but inept folks have decided to write programs according to their own mysterious cyber-based accounting principles.

read Felix Buzzard review. Its exactly correct. My Im a user of more than 30 years. The program retains the same clunky interface it started with back then. However, Ive not been able to find an alternative. Let me know if there is an alternative that can handle multiple accounts, downloads from financial institutions, reconciliations, and investments. Its become unbearably slow. Many reports of slowness have been logged on the companies web site. Before you but, I suggest you log into the discussion group, search for slow. The results suggest there has been a pervasive and persistent degradation of performance. Quicken seems to take no responsibility for the poor programing, and continues to make the problems worse.

With the 2022 version of Quicken and beyond, they now REQUIRE a membership. If you do not renew your membership, the main page has two large banners letting you know your membership has expired. This also hides tabs that you should be able to see. Quicken will also pop up messages when you try to do things, letting you know your membership has expired. I have used Quicken for 10+ years. The <2022 versions did NOT do this.

I have been using Quicken to manage my finances for as long as I can remember. Today, I am not sure I can trust this product. It is as quirky as can be, and I dont feel my information is safe with a company that doesnt seem to use quality assurance engineers to validate their product. Trying to do something as basic as resetting an account number after a credit card breach, is simply impossible. The application keeps looping through useless steps, never achieving the desired outcome. The application is increasingly slow, maybe because I have over 30 years of records. It crashes more than it should, and goes through weird convulsions where the different windows change size, disappear, reappear, God knows why. Now and then, it will get stuck in a loop that requires a forced kill of the app to get out of. This happens often when doing an online update of all accounts, where you download entries from your bank accounts. Sometimes, something as simple as adding a new credit card account is also impossible. The app will simply not recognize the new account online. Im sure there are tricks to get through all these hurdles, but why does it have to be that way? Quicken has been out for ages. Isnt time we get a stable product? Quicken has a feature to track investments and update transactions by downloading them from your online investments accounts. Once again, this feature falls short. It is quirky at best, and definitely not intuitive.

I use Quicken to track my finances (banking, MM, and CDs) and investments (brokerage and retirement accounts). I want all my data stored on my PC and back-ups, I do not store anything in the cloud, nor use online portfolio trackers. I hand enter my transactions, only downloading quotes. Quicken Deluxe adequately supports my usage habits. I do NOT like the subcription-basis of Quicken and would prefer a return to the stand-alone purchase and upgrade very two to three years for improved versions. I am actively seeking a non-subscription substitute for Quicken.

I have used Quicken since it was a dos program but I really dislike this yearly pay to use yearly fee!!
