Rating: Summary: ITS A DISGRACE! Review: Beware of this program! Particularly if you are switching from the PC version which is much more advanced and accurate. This program has TONS of glaring problems that become apparent shortly after running the program. I can't understand how in the world it got off the market because of glaring and obvious nature of the problems that would make all other software companies stop production and send it back-for example, it quickly mixes up dates, consistently mixes up the positive or negative signs like of a credit card balance, and will crash on a whim. Basically it is pitiful alternative to the PC version.I feel cheated that I am forced to use this software as there is no alternative for the MAC. Intuit be WARNED. YOU WILL LOOSE NEARLY THE ENTIRE MARKET SHARE OF FINANCIAL INTERNET SOFTWARE PRODUCT LINE WHEN A DECENT COMPETATOR COMES OUT! To Macintosh: Where in the world is your answer to this. People would love an alternative built in the I Life series. To Microsoft: Its yours for the taking. I would buy it tomorrow as anything has to be better than this.
Rating: Summary: Causes more work than it saves. Review: Quicken 2004 came as part of the software package on my iBook. I tried to set up my accounts but I found the user inferface baffeling and difficult to use. Worse yet it seemed to crash quite frequently. As for linking to accounts online, it does not seem to support Ameritrade brokerage accounts.
Rating: Summary: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!! Review: I switched from Windows to Mac about six months ago. I LOVE my Mac, but I absolutely HATE Quicken 2004 for Mac. It's full of strange bugs, lacks many of the features of its Windows counterpart, and, worst of all, Intuit customer support is completely clueless about how to help me with any of this when I call them. The online Help feature is worthless, too. It tells you to do things you either can't do, or that don't work. It's awful. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.
Rating: Summary: Made for Mac Users Review: i've been a faithful mac user since the first one came out.
I could never understand quicken (too complicated and boring).
My needs are simple I need to figure out how much i make and
determine where it goes. i have two kids so i need to save money for college and retirement. there isn't much left over for stock, mutual funds and bonds. if you want an intuitive, colorful web-based personal financial software...i strongly suggest www.moneypants.com
Rating: Summary: A waste of money... Review: I finally made the switch to a Mac a few months ago, and while I'm thrilled with the PowerMac G5, this edition of Quicken leaves much to be desired.
This version of Quicken is a poor substitute for its Windows counterpart. It's nothing more than a bare-bones program with a clunky interface.
I agree with the reviewer who wishes Apple would bundle its own Personal Finance software in a future edition of iLife. Until then, it's back to the old checkbook...
Rating: Summary: Don't Even Think About It Review: A total waste of money and time - not to mention space on my Mac. I can write, in longhand, my records and use my Mac calculator for computations in the time it takes just to find the page I need in Quicken. Shame on Intuit! Bah, humbug....
Rating: Summary: HORRIBLE. Save your money. Review: It doesn't work. Read the other reviews and save your money - you'll save more by NOT buying Quicken 2004 for Mac than you ever would trying to use it. Just bought it, and after 3 months of thinking "i must be daft," realized that I'm not and it's actually the software. Too bad Intuit has the monopoly on it all... waiting for a much better alternative. In the meantime, back to my ledger and calculator....
Rating: Summary: Disillusioned with Mac Quicken Review: Like the other highly negative reviews, I too have used Quicken faithfully recording every transaction. I finally abandoned Quicken 2004, throwing it away from my new iBook, G4. I returned to the use of Quicken 2000.
I missed the Billminder. Why, for gosh sakes, have a money program if you don't get reminded to pay your bills. Q 2004 doesn't do this any more. Try to do a loan calculation estimate? you won't get a complete window, so the *payment* you wanted to calculate doesn't show.
Etc!!! Just an inferior product. Do not buy it! Save your Quicken 2000 for Mac. Intuit doesn't support your old versions (thank you very much!).
but at least the features that are there, work. Good luck!
