And considering the its Chairman (and former CEO), Bill Campbell, is also the Chairman (and former Exec VP of Mktg/sales) of Apple, it is unbelievable. It is truly amazing they came out with this shameful effort. Finally, by using Cocoa, it has the mac look and feel.
And it works with TurboTax (have used it for 2 tax years now). (Plus, most major banks and a whole lot more are supported, since they use the bank industry's open-source export formats, OFX, so users avoid the Intuit strategy of forcing upgrades by periodically changing their format needed by the banks to export into Quicken). Also, iBank handles the import of my bank transactions very reliability and is much easier to set-up and use. (some transactions were off, but then they were off when I re-imported the same transfer file to the same version of Quicken - so I feel it is a Quicken error, not iBank). For me, export of old Quicken data to ibank was relatively simple.

Was a continual user of Quicken for Mac from its first release. I switched to iBank () about 18 months ago. Intuit's answer is: "If you'd like that functionality, we recommend using Quicken Mac 2007." [from Intuit's post on what is the difference between Quicken for Mac 2007 and Quicken Essentials 2010. Who doesn't need a debt reduction planner these days?ĭon't new versions of software (especially one in development for 3 years) usually ADD features than taking them out?
#QUICKEN 2010 FOR MAC FULL#
They have taken out a number of features that I find valuable - full investment tracking, cash flow forecast (ie, am I going to run out of money this month) and bizarrely, debt reduction. Quicken Essentials is just that - Essentials. It's the only reason I use Fusion.Īfter looking at Quicken Essentials for Mac, and looking through Intuit's site - I'm going to keep using Quicken for Windows. Two years ago I switched to using a Mac - but the 2007 Quicken for Mac was so weak, I kept using Quicken for Windows by using Fusion (emulation software). It's always been useful and it keeps track of my investments, cash flown and checks. I've used various versions of Quicken since 1993.

#QUICKEN 2010 FOR MAC UPGRADE#
You tell me: If you've put in your time in old releases of Quicken for Mac, had you stuck with the program through yesterday and will you now upgrade to Essentials? If you've moved on to another program or site, what would it take for you to switch back? Let me know in the comments. But we'll have to see whether this has happened too late for some Quicken users. So I do think this company has had a change of mind about its priorities. It also doesn't integrate with Quicken's Web-based personal-finance software, the once-separate competitor that Quicken bought last year and which I've been using for my daily financial management since last summer.Ĭan Quicken Essentials redeem this company's Mac business? Quicken product manager (and Mint founder) Aaron Patzer has been saying the right things about Mac development - while other folks in Quicken's PR department have told me that they've switched to Macs. As it spells out in a what's-new article, Quicken Essentials doesn't do bill payment, only supports basic investment tracking and can't export information to Quicken's TurboTax program.

And the application itself no longer looks like a wayward refugee from Mac OS 9.īut in rewriting Quicken for Mac, Intuit left some features behind. It can import data from old Windows releases of Quicken, as well as Microsoft's now-abandoned Money. As promised, it connects to far more financial institutions: some 12,000, way up from the 4,000 supported by Quicken 2007. The new Quicken Essentials for Mac - $69.99 for Intel-based Macs running OS X 10.5 or 10.6 - represents a major reinvention of the program. And this time, the Mountain View, Calif., company made its deadline with three days to spare.
Instead, Intuit announced last summer that it was giving the program yet another rewrite and would now deliver it in February of 2010. In January of 2009, Intuit again demonstrated its upcoming Mac program and said it expected to ship it that summer. In January 2008, Intuit representatives showed off a new, written-from-scratch Mac program that would be called Quicken Financial Life and ship in the summer of that year.
#QUICKEN 2010 FOR MAC MAC OS X#
That's one of those headlines that a lot of people never expected to see, on the order of "Nationals win pennant" or "Metro extension to Dulles opens." Intuit last shipped a new version of its Quicken personal-finances manager for Apple's Mac OS X in the summer of 2006 - but that version exhibited the same defects as earlier Mac releases, including limited support for online banking and zero support for the Intel processors in new Macs.
