The biggest issue is for over four years now the Quicken Mac developers STILL haven't figured out how to create reports or a budget where you can include or exclude transfers from one account to another. Visually, I think it's better than the Windows version and as a basic checkbook register with prehistoric reports it works okay. This is the most crappy product I've ever seen. And while I'm at it, why in the world can't they come up with a sync to mobile that actually DOES work? How much incompetence is there at Quicken Inc?Īnd of course, the usual download transactions issues.which really aren't always Quicken's fault. Nice to have advertised features NOT work. See the Bill and Income reminders if you want to see a perfect example of incompetence and change just for the sake of change.Ĭan't dependably use Online Bills and Quicken Sync to Mobile, as either can wind up corrupting your data file. Windows version rarely has anything new.but usually ruins usability because the developers just can't leave well enough alone. Selected users get limited release updates and become beta testers without warning, then the new release gets pulled leaving the "beta" testers with a crappy even buggier product until yet another release is issued.
#PERSONAL CAPITAL VS QUICKEN UPDATE#
Each update (and they are frequent now) brings new bugs introduced. Here are the "pitfalls" of Quicken and Mint, in my opinion: Not to mention that I finally have a pretty clear picture of all of my financials now. I should probably be more focused on getting actual stuff done instead of obsessing about my transactions but I've maintained it for this long that I don't want to drop it. Just for 2018, I have 2,250 transactions across all of those accounts. One thing that I am realizing is that Quicken definitely scratches my OCD itch to track all of my transactions. Now the application works perfectly well. A year ago Quicken was a mess because of the scaling issues and they legacy controls they used. I have a weird situation where I have a 4K laptop screen that I have to scale to 200%. Moving to a model where small changes are released on a regular basis is helping the overall application. I feel that they are making improvements and trying to take it in the right direction. Not only that, they have to tread lightly to not cause existing users to leave because they changed something. There is so much complexity built into the app that they have to be extremely careful to not screw anything up.
I'm holding out that the group that took over Quicken did it knowing that there is a niche for this type of software and that they are going to put in a good faith effort to try to improve the application. Two things regarding features and rate of improvements: Yes, it does have its issues, but from the perspective of getting a complete financial picture, I haven't found anything better.

Lots of manual data entry to catch up on transactions that I could no longer download from the various sites. I quit using it in 2015 for personal reasons but have spent the last couple months recovering from the hiatus. I have about 25 different accounts (banks, credit cards, investments, mortgages, peer lending, etc.) that have data from 2006 until now.
