Just a dirty shadow of their former selves
Coming from Quicken 2013. Totally broke my mobile syncing. desktop program crashes every time you do anything related to mobile. longtime Quicken using and I'm an accountant, so I know what I should be experiencing.
The first installation was an upgrade. I let Quicken 2015 uninstall v. 2013 and install v.2015, data conversion, etc... The installation appeared to crash when the wizard reaches the "convert your Quicken Cloud data. The only way out is with task manager. I completely removed the v.2015 installation and the data file.
The second installation attempt was a clean install. However it crashed at the exact same point.
Again, only task manager can terminate the failed installation.
After both failed installations, Quicken V.2015 seemed to work except for action under the Mobile tab.
Any selections you chose there would crash the program. Again, task manager was required to terminate the non-responding program.
I will be asking for my money refunded. This program has become absolute crap. When you open a minimized window from the taskbar, there are black blocks in the window which take 5 to 6 seconds to fully render. This is a tell take sign of poorly coded/performing Windows software. And again, it will not install fully/correctly. My Windows 7 desktop has core i7, Intel SSD's and a WEI of 7.4 of 7.9. It's not a hardware performance issue. Windows 7 installation is recent and clean - no problem there.
I removed all traces of Quicken 2015 and after a restart, reinstalled Quicken 2013 and everything works just as v. 2013 has, which is well.
As I said earlier, I'm an accountant. I have noticed some practitioners have a deep hatred for all things Inuit. Having used ProSeries, TurboTax, Quicken and QuickBooks over my career, I didn't understand the animosity they obviously harbored. However after working the last several years with QuickBooks Payroll I was beginning to see their side. After attempting to resolve the issue with their FEEBLE chat support with Quicken v.2015, I'm fully on board.
My only option is to have my money refunded. This is what I will be doing.
All things considered, I will evolving away from Intuit. What they have become is nothing any CONSUMER wants to be involved with.
FRANKLY IT'S A SHAME. I REMEMBER WHEN INTUIT WAS SYNONOMUS WITH QUALITY SOFTWARE.
INTUIT AND I GO WAY BACK. UNFORTUNATELY QUICKEN I THINK WE SHOULD SEE OTHER PEPOLE.
IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU!
