Quicken Deluxe NEW Subscriber Personal Finance – Manage your money with your First Year Subscription to Quicken (Windows/Mac)

I’ve been using Quicken for many years and I just love it.

read Felix Buzzard review. Its exactly correct. My Im a user of more than 30 years. The program retains the same clunky interface it started with back then. However, Ive not been able to find an alternative. Let me know if there is an alternative that can handle multiple accounts, downloads from financial institutions, reconciliations, and investments. Its become unbearably slow. Many reports of slowness have been logged on the companies web site. Before you but, I suggest you log into the discussion group, search for slow. The results suggest there has been a pervasive and persistent degradation of performance. Quicken seems to take no responsibility for the poor programing, and continues to make the problems worse.

With the 2022 version of Quicken and beyond, they now REQUIRE a membership. If you do not renew your membership, the main page has two large banners letting you know your membership has expired. This also hides tabs that you should be able to see. Quicken will also pop up messages when you try to do things, letting you know your membership has expired. I have used Quicken for 10+ years. The <2022 versions did NOT do this.

I love this software.

In the past renewing Quicken, or subscriptions, was only needed if you wanted updates. Those days are over. I just found I couldnt log into Quicken as it wouldnt accept my login info. (It was correct.) Resetting password left me with the same problem. I contacted support and was told the only way to fix it is to renew my subscription. As I dont use, need, or want the online features thats not going to happen. So Buyer Beware. If you dont renew, at some point they will disable your abilty to use it.

Activation. Bought to use for personal use

I believe they must have fired all of their full time engineers and hired college interns to implement the subscription model and cash cow this product while claiming they are adding new features. Who charges an annual fee for software that crashes when it wants to tell you that there is an update, installs updates so frequently you have to add it to your workflow, then reserves the right to trash any or all of your data on startup? If you use it, keep backups every day because you WILL need them. Ive lost all of my bill pay contacts which I couldnt recover so switched to my banks free bill pay service. I recently started up and it asked me if I wanted to create a budget. I reverted to a backup to recover budgets Ive been keeping for years and spent many hours realigning the data. Im currently in a state where one step update doesnt remember passwords and I have to push data to quicken from my individual bank accounts. I only use this software for its budgeting because mint is still a little lacking in that area.
