Quicken Starter Personal Finance – Start taking control of your money – 1-Year Subscription (Windows/Mac)

I ran a business with the original Quicken before the cloud. I didnt like the idea that the files were not on my computer with the cloud.So I made other arrangements. in 2022 I figured that I would try it again and loaded a few accounts. Then I tried to access Quicken from a different computer. I saw a screen that blocked me unless I agreed to renew for another year when I still had 9 months of paid service coming SCAM? maybe. But, when I want to access my accounts, I want access, not a strong arm attempt to rope me in.

Quicken use to not be subscription but they have become greedy like other software vendors. I used to buy the software and it was good for at least 3 years before you had to update to a later version which made it more economical to purchase. Now they hit you with a $35 to $45 yearly subscription and if you dont re-subscribed they cut off your bank downloads.

I have been using Quicken (Intuit), for years. I purchased 2020 back in Nov. I was using Home and Business - but since their subscription ran out, Which I never used - now I cant use it at all. 25% of the screen is a renewl box that wont close unless you pay them for the use. I called and spoke with a no english person - said he could take care of it very quickly and I could start using Quicken - at 103.00 per year. I explained to the rep that I have macular degeneration in both eyes, and the ir box was taking up my space/ I have a 36 in. monitor and still have to blow everything up by 250% rto be able to add. This should be against the law to force people to use your products, and if you dont pay their fine. Maybe I should hire a lawyer for discrimanation and disabled blind person. Guess scam artist are all over - but big companies like Quicken get by with it.

Its so easy to keep track of your Income & Spending

Used Quicken as a check book register for over two decades. Quicken started to demand an account a few years back and offered services I do not want or use. I only use the register function and resented the account creation requirement. As my renewal period approached for Quicken Deluxe, bought in 2020, Quicken forced one NAG screen onto my display. After the renewal period came and went, Quicken forced a second NAG screen onto my register view that obscures needed information. I can work around this but Quicken harassment of my register view is maddening. I own the software. I do not need or desire the other services. Ill be contacting my state Attorney General with a complaint over Quicken forcing NAG screens onto my register view. Quicken tech support was useless. If you are only using the register function of Quicken, I suggest you do not purchase Quicken.

Basic

I have used Quicken as a purchased product for about 20 years. Switching from a PC to a Mac I had to subscribe to new Quicken. It was all set up and working, then when I went to open it the next day it did nothing. Same thing the next day, and the next day. I called tech support, first person hung up on me after putting me on hold to find out what to do. Second person had me unistall, reinstall, then declared the problem was my brand new Mac. When I explained all other aspects and programs on the Mac worked, he insisted I call Apple. He refused my request for a higher level of tech support. I inquired how to, and he agreed, to cancel my subscription.

I thought this was the quicken program turns out it said access to quicken subscription I do not want that I want just the program

Great product. It really helps you see how you are spending your money.

Software is mediocre when youre paying for the subscription, if you dont need the pointless subscription and wish to use it locally (as they claim you can do), banners and pop-ups prevent you from using it. Horrible customer experience. Will NEVER purchase from Quicken again.
