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

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

Ive used Quicken all my life. Upgraded back in 2016 and was using it ever since. Due to an unrelated issue, I had to reinstall all my PC software. Come to find out Im not allowed to reinstall and use my Quicken, that I purchased, anymore. That just didnt sit very well with me. The software worked well enough to balance my checkbook, but they have lost a customer forever with this. Whats worse is I cant even access my account information to review for tax reasons.

I decline to keep paying just to use software I bought even though Quicken is a great product. Im a Quicken user all the way back from 1995. It used to be you would pay a one-time charge for Quicken and thats it and buy a new version every few years when absolutely needed for new releases of Windows. Now it is subscription software. You will need to pay for a subscription after the initial subscription that comes with Quicken expires. Otherwise, you will get ads that block out part of your screen and makes using it an irritating experience. You also get frequent emails to pay up. Instead of paying for recurring subscriptions, I suggest trying out for free an alternative called Moneydance (or others like it). It is not subscription based. Pay for it once and thats it. No more annoying nags and ads.

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.

Works great a very good product I will probably up next year

It should be two or three years, not one.

I am used to this particular banking software. I don’t like that you have to pay for it every year but that seems to be the trend. It works well for me

I had been told that intuit had dropped the subscrption but not true. I would sell this if you really want to use it.

Decreased flexibility of use. Can no longer file-save with a new filename (retaining previous file and name). Tech support was good talker, but poor listener. Lost previous version when helped me save with a new filename. He then insisted that I wanted a new filename. Talked to supervisor. Showed me a clumsy workaround. At least he understood the issue.

Logged in once forgot password and there is no way that I have been able to find to get back in. Would not buy again.
