I just switched to Mac and of course had to buy Quicken for Mac. I had been using PC version Quicken 2000. This is much better. It intergrates a way to pay one’s bills, where the other didn’t have a way to do that. I previously had to set up an account of “accounts payable” where now in this version, I used the Calender and enter in my bills that way. Works well with OS X.

After using Microsoft Money on PCs for many years, I decided to purchase a Mac. Since Money doesn’t come in a Mac version, I decided to give quicken a try. I’ve been using it for about a month now and I get more discouraged by the day.
I have windows close unexpectedly, I’m unable to create certain entries, even when following the manual, and the on-screen help is useless. Performing a search for a topic will bring up a large variety of random help topics, few if any have anything to do with your search entry.
Oh, and the entries in the manual sometimes do not actually reflect the steps you must take to complete an action. For example, if you are directed to select an option from a toolbar drop-down screen, that option might not actually be located there, but exists on another toolbar.
Web help is no better than on-screen help. And customer support is structured to make sure that it is not used. If you can’t find what you need by searching the support database, you can either use the online support chat feature that is only available W-F, 7AM to 4 PM PST, or pay by the minute for phone support. By the way, don’t try using chat unless you have a lot of time to kill because you might never actually get connected to a customer support person. The option to e-mail a support engineer is not available.
Planning tools in Quicken are inferior to MS Money. You don’t have near as many options to categorize your expenses, and I’ll be damned if I can figure out how Quicken will help me come tax time. It doesn’t even let you configure your paycheck deductions as pre-tax and after-tax.
I think I’m going to sell my Mac and buy a PC so I can use MS Money again. Too bad Quicken isn’t working out.

Nothing has been as frustrating as Quicken for Mac. Since switching to the MAC from a PC I have copied all of my mail, documents, and a multitude of other critical pieces with no trouble. But Quicken is a different story. Obscure error messages importing OFX format files from Citibank. Freezing, requiring a Force Quit. No response at all to imports of QIF files. Some worked and some did not. There was no clear pattern. One of the error messages I did get was not documented on Intuit’s support pages despite being reported by many people on Google and other places over a year ago. And of course those people never received a response from Intuit on the Google Groups. I know you might be desperate but believe me the answer is not in Quicken for the Mac. I never thought I would cheering the day that Microsoft would write an application for the Mac OS, but come on Bill give us Money.

The new 2003 interface may be “better” but it definitely has more bugs than the 2002 version. Many more crashes, entries disappear after acceptance, scroll bars jump all over the place when switching between accounts. I’m going back to 2002 until a service pack is released.

While the promise of this software is great, the reality is unfortunate, at least for me… It does some things very, very well – such as download & categorize bank & visa transactions… It unfortunately lacks functionality & features in other areas that they appear to market the software for, particularly in the investment area…
features I’d liek to see:
- foreign exchange for investments (stick to your local $ only!)
- non-proprietary import/export formats
- easy, accurate cross platform data exchange
- H+B option (also hurts import/export across platforms)
- adjusted cost base reporting for canadian investments (or why bother!?)
- tax categorization for canadians (should be an easy graft from the pc version)
- fewer flaws (not just ‘bugs’) in some feature executions
- eliminate ’sunset’ (terminating) download capability & ‘planned obsolescence’
- similar PC/Mac interfaces
many more advanced & better features seem to exist in the pc version & while neither seems truly intuitive, I can only suggest that aligning the two platforms (and offering an H+B mac version) might help generate the sales that would justify the R+D…
Chicken or egg question? Absolutely! You can’t expect sales if the software doesn’t work or is misrepresented in the marketing!
