Worst Update and Performance ever with minimal change.
I have been using Quicken since 2007. Unfortunately, for the past 4-5 years, Quicken has been getting worse and worse. Its responsiveness and features are just disappointing. I used to purchase every update, but then because of very bad reviews on 2016 version, I stayed with my 2015 until now. Then I read that Quicken was sold to a different company, so I was excited and expected to see a big improvement under the new management. I WAS WRONG!
Here is my thoughts on the 2017 version: The only change that you can see after installation is just a minor change in the design which they made the icons and bars flat to mimic new flat design that we see everywhere. Other than that, I can't see any serious change.
As far as performance and speed, 2015 was the slowest software that I have seen. But 2017 is even worse. Sometimes, you have click on a button twice for it to work.
Also, I have never used END TASK this many time since Windows 98, that I'm using now. You will see the software stop working frequently and you need to END TASK it and restart.
Overall, this is the worse update thus far. If I haven't already paid for this version, I prefer to go back to my 2015, or yet even better to 2014 version. Save yourself some money and headache and do not update to 2017 and hope to see some improvement next year.
