Customer Reviews:

Seem to introduce more bugs than features. [Posted on 2008-04-13]
How should I start. Support is incredibly horrible. This would have been a 4 star rating, but based on support dealing when I try to report a bug brings it down.

If you run on Vista, you have to run it as administrator. That means each OFX you download from websites ask your permission. When support was asked when that would be patched to run as a non-priv user, they replied that it is "by design" and it is "for your security". That is an incredible misunderstanding of what running as administrator gets you.

If you use Kaspersky antivirus, it will cause all http/https applications to lock up randomly during a one step update. There are workarounds, just be warned.

While one step updating, they have made the update progress non-modal. But don't expect to be able to do much while its updating. Transaction registers stop being able to tab between fields. Selecting payees forgets to populate the category. All these bug only occur during one step update and stop after. Support ticket on that one is 5 months old with no response.

I'm not certain that anyone besides the first level script wielding employees see bug reports. I've been a quicken user for 8 years. DO NOT UPGRADE to this. If the datafiles would back convert, I'd install 2005 again.

Make time to learn. [Posted on 2008-04-15]
Not the easisest piece of software to understand but definitely does the job. If you are unfamiliar with the product get the "Dummies" guide.

Excelent product.
Have used it for years and it is absolutely outstanding.

Intuit...You Suck. [Posted on 2008-04-29]
I've been using this product since 1994.

I have purchased a couple of upgrades on my own accord and, for the most part, it was ok. However, the program just continues to lose quality. Buggy, doesn't play well with others, etc.

Now, Intuit has finally chased away a loyal customer. Why? Because they have "discontinued" online services. This service was probably the biggest (and only) advance they have made since 1994. Now, they are forcing their customers to upgrade and spend even more money on an even worse product.

I didn't want to jump ship to Microsoft or iBank because I didn't want to lose 14 years worth of data. Well, you know what Intuit? I don't care any more. You suck. Your product sucks and I'm not taking it anymore. I'll go back to doing it by hand before I cave to your strong armed ways and your oh-so-subtle exploitation of a virtual monopoly.

PLEASE!!! Any talented programmers out there! You have a golden opportunity to build a great program and steal away the business of these miserable creeps. Make it work. Make it fair. I'll be your customer forever!
