Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using Quicken since its easiest days of Quicken for Windows. When I moved over to the Apple OSX platform, I fully expected Q for Mac to be essentially the same program - after all, real tools are available to develop software source code that can be relatively easily compiled to target both the Windows and the OSX platform. Silly me! What I found, instead, was that Q for Mac bore very little resemblance to Q for Windows. They did not have any other solution for their newer versions of OS-X for over three years. At that time they released a bandaged version of Q2007 for Mac which would run on newer Intel-based Macs - no improvement, just bandaged. When I saw Q 2015 for Mac, my hopes were raised, and I bought this package. I imported my data, and found how to do much of what I need in the new user interface. The data did not import without copious errors - it took three solid days of work to clean up the data in two retirement annuities. To address the problems in my IRA, a personal investment account, and two checking accounts would take many additional weeks. But I could at lease begin to use the thing for managing my future finances - or so I thought. Now I began addressing my budget, which I had been able to manage adequately in Q 2007. There, I discovered that a budget could be managed in Q 2015 only one month at a time, whereas under Q2007, I was able to set up a budget for an entire year, and track my budgetary compliance easily from there. The human interface on the budget side of this program is pretty bad. They have no such facility for real long-range planning. To make things worse, Intuit seems to have abandoned their old policy of providing customer service on software for three years after purchase. I can't even find a telephone number for Intuit anywhere on their website. Their support policy currently provides a bulletin-board-like "Community" where you may post questions, and hope that another member of the community will have, and actually take time to post, an answer. This product is horribly incomplete, and not very well thought out, and I say this with over twenty years of experience as a professor of electrical engineering, computer science, and software engineering. Long story shortened, I'm uninstalling the software and getting my money back.
