Quicken For Mac 2016 Update Error

Posted on admin

Running Quicken on a Mac has been a frustrating experience. I’m a longtime Windows user and, in fact, started using Quicken back when it was an MS-DOS application. When I upgraded to Windows, I upgraded Quicken as well to run native under Windows. Now that I use an Apple Macintosh, I still use.

Original review: Nov. 27, 2018 I’ve been a Quicken user since 1994. Over the years the app has changed here and there but for the most part, you knew where things were and things made sense.

I upgraded from 2007 version to take advantage of the $29.99/year Cyber Monday promo to try it out. I'm forecasting that the 2007 version of Quicken will probably not work once we go to Mojave which will drop 32-bit support.

To note, I've read that you can cancel the auto-renew subscription, which I did, and the Quicken 2019 app is 'supposed' to continue working even after the expiration date. Quicken is not an app to radically change the user interface, thinking changes will make it better. Computer case for sale. It’s been made much worse in this 2019 rendition of Quicken.

GONE is the empty field at the bottom of your various registers, waiting for you to fill in the next transaction. Nope, now you have to hit a '+' icon and fumble through a clunky entry interface. GONE is the blue/white striped lines you’re used to. GONE is the Title, Payment, Debit on the top line, with Category Memo, and Open Split on the lower line. GONE is the accounts window you are used to. It’s now in sidebar and feels odd.

Want to have two account windows open at once, one atop the other, checking and a CC for example, nope, not anymore. You can only be working in one account at a time. Pretty much everything you're used to has been erased from this application, and replaced with something else. It's tiring, companies reinventing the wheel thinking 'Ah yes, this will be better. People will like doing things this different way.'

We don't like it. It worked just fine the way it was. It made sense and its unchanging nature over the decades was a good thing. It was reliable. You could upgrade and use it straight away. It didn't need to be overhauled to the point where long time users will need to re-learn how to use it.

Update

To the meeting rooms that thought up this overhaul tactic for the age old, tried and true, Quicken that we all knew and liked, you didn't jump the shark here. You completely blew it. 100% failure. You should've just polished up the existing one. Instead you lost all the good familiar elements and replaced it with a bunch of useless tat and an awful, unintuitive, cluttered and clumsy user interface. This is bookkeeping software, not rocket science. Keep is simple.

Less is more. Look to the past for design inspiration. Original review: Nov.

25, 2018 Amazing. Just upgraded to the 2019 version. Turbotax for mac computers Tons of issues.

After finally getting all 10 of my accounts set up, I wanted to link some accounts to my bill pay service. Should be simple right???

The morons at this company did not think that it was needed to allow importing of 2017 or prior BILL PAY accounts into the 2019 version. This company thinks we should go through the process of setting the whole damn thing up again. The same MORONS did not realize that some people have ten bank accounts and hundreds of PAYEES. Well, after using it for 11 months, I regret purchasing 2018. Setting up the online ID was a major pain it the.

To make matters worse, it is veeerrryyy slooowww to open. I am sure this is related to the online ID but I cannot get Quicken support to confirm it. They mostly blame my computer or internet connection.

Sometimes when I close an account and go back to the Home Tab, the program does not refresh properly so I have restart it. Ironically, moving to 2018 has given me a reason to move away from Quicken.
