Mac version not yet arrived
I have been using the Windows version for over 20 years and find the Home and Business version amazing software for the price. The Windows version deserves 5 stars. The Mac version has been slow in development, recently due to Intuits sale of the Quicken product group. The Mac version is only "adequate" and is a good idea if you MUST use Quicken for Mac. It still has a LONG way to go to match the Windows version, so if you are expecting it to be as good...well don't, because it's not. At least not yet. Many people I know that have gone to Macs keep a Bootcamp partition or virtualization software on their Macs JUST to use Quicken for Windows. The software will do conversion from newer Windows versions, but in my case, repeated attempts still left errors and number changes in Investment Accounts. Perhaps a call to Quicken support would have corrected it, but instead I chose to go back to Windows. Needing to reference your Intuit ID for many functions is a pain, further complicated by apparently not wanting to use the same ID for more than 1 set of files. The range of reviews is dramatic, and I think that is because of the great difference in user requirements. It appears to do basic functions well, and starting from scratch might be fine also, but converting existing files, especially ones containing years of investment transactions, will leave you frustrated. You can try it and see if it works for you because Quicken offers a 60 day unconditional refund on the software, a benefit which I DID take advantage of. Maybe it will be up to par by 2018 or 2019.
