- Attention Mac Users
- For the love all that is good in this world...run, do not walk, RUN away from this software. Where should you run too? A copy of parallels, VM ware, or bootcamp and get the windows version of this program. Since switching to the mac I have been frustrated with this "software". It had been sometime since I had used personal financial software and the first time on a mac. I thought man....this program seems worst than my 2002 version on windows. After trying the usual suspects, liquid ledger, ibank, icash etc. I went to the windows 2008 version of quicken via parallels. Oh my god! the feature set is night and day. The windows version has about 15 essential features that the mac shows no signs of ever attempting.
Until intuit gets serious about the mac version stay away from this nonsense. - 2008-01-18, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Save your money!
- If you are a user of Quicken for Windows, don't even think of switching to this product. Spend your money on Parallels, and run the Windows version on your Mac. Quicken for the Mac would not be a good deal if they gave it away for nothing. Too many things, including conversion of your data files, just do not work.

- JUNK
- The Mac version of Intuit Quicken is complete garbage. I used to use the PC version, so when I switched to Mac, I thought it was a no brainer to get the Mac Version. Big mistake.
The best work to describe the software is clunky. Unlike its PC counterpart, it doesn't work very well--one of the rare instances of a Mac product actually being inferior to a PC product. It doesn't sort data columns, so it's very difficult to say, see what payments you made to the same payee. It also uses weird rules to categorize your downloaded transactions; if you don't watch them like a hawk, it will confuse all your inter-account transactions.
The result is once a month I end up reconciling my checking accounts by hand, thus defeating the purpose of financial management software.
I'm replacing this just as soon as I can find something better.

- cumbersome
- Like much software made for your computer, this one caters to the pc world, not the Mac world. You will not get any support from Intuit, so you are on your own. The "chat" you might be able to get for support will be "offshore" chat, so be prepared for that. If you have used Quicken in the past, you can probably work around this version. I have found some calculation errors, beware. The "back up" feature is a bit cumbersome, too. Depending on your system (Mac), your most recent back up will be hard to find until you develop a "system."

- New Mac Users Don't be Duped into getting this product!
- I recently decided to move from Windows to the Mac.. A move I'm glad I made.. But Moving to Quicken For Mac is a move I regret. For Years I've been using MS Money on Windows.. When I moved to the Mac I wanted to have a native app to use for managing my finances. I thought Quicken would be a good choice.. Boy was I wrong.. Quicken says that it was designed for the Mac, by Mac Users.. I would like to know what users they are talking to.. The interface is horrible, nothing like all the other well thought out and designed applications I have on my Mac. The software is buggy, slow, and the automatic downloading from my Banks isn't working.
I've started using VMware Fusion to run MS Money.. It's not native, but Quicken Mac is so horrible there isn't much else I can do.. If you just switched to the Mac, or are planning to.. Save yourself the hassle and just get VMware or Parallels and run your old Windows app of choice for now.. Sadly it's a better option then this product. - 2007-12-24, 17 of 17 people found this review helpful, Rated:
