Summary: Absolutely a disappointment
Review: Started setting up accounts in September of '03. I have LOST all files through file corruption 3 times. The last was tonight at 23:05! Quicken hasno support and has lost my business for good. On-line accounts never balance... I absolutely wonder what is happening to this once fine company... Scarry,I just bought their Tax programme tonight... Hope the same programmers haven't been at work!

Summary: Do Not Load This Software!
Review: I've been using Quicken Software since 1991. I've had nothing but problems since loading 2004--it's total disaster. I wish I'd read these reviews before purchasing. It has corrupted accounts dating back to 1991, and I'm having to recreate them. I'm also looking at Money. What a waste.

Summary: Its helpful
Review: This is really a great product. Although many users say that they do not have an Online support, and just charge $1.95 per minute of support, lemme tell you that they also have a Free Live chat support, 7 days a week, where you can chat with a live tech support rep. Also, any bugs, if there are, are being constantly fixed, so I guess you will lose out on a great product if you do not buy this one and upgrade.

Summary: Thanks for the warnings!
Review: I actually have Quicken 2004 in my shopping cart and was ready to check out - until I read the testimonials. Thank you everyone for the warnings. I'll stick with Quicken 2000.

Summary: Not worth the price (free)
Review: I just upgraded to Quicken 2004. Aside from the bugs (I reported three the first day) and the less-than-useful changes to the register, I think the worst is yet to come.As they say on their web site, you will not be able to use Quicken 2005 without using their online services. They've already made it too easy to go to their online services in Quicken 2004. Nearly everything you do connects to the Internet for God-knows-what. I'm really unhappy about having to share my financial information with a random for-profit software company. I want my privacy. The QIF file import is being disabled, also. So Quicken 2004 goes in the trash (it was free after rebate) and I'm back to Quicken 2000.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I don't own the software and am now very confused by these testimonials. Is this part of an elaborate marketing scheme to turn me off to 2004? Is the product that faulty? Has Intuit broadened their base to users who are not technologically proficient? I don't upgrade on every release but I can't believe this software went so terribly wrong into the toilet since I last upgraded. I've been using Intuit since 1993 and I'm not changing. I'll stick with my version until the end of time as its great. If this is marketing, the marketeer should be ashamed and just go and buy Intuit rather than try to tarnish a great product. If the product has gone down the drain, I'll return it. If the users are frustrated, I'm sure there's a training course for this. As a side note, I rely on the these forums heavily before purchasing. I think I'll try the upgrade after backing up my data files to durable media. I hope everyone here is being honest. I'm trying to use these forums and now sadly I'm unsure of their validity.

Summary: Save your money and your time!
Review: If you are looking to purchase Quicken 2004 or upgrade, do not waste your time. This is the biggest joke on consumers yet!
I have been loyal Quicken user for years and years and recently upgrade (from 2002 to 2004), what a mistake! This new version will not let me preform any actions without displaying an error and crashing. And like the other reviews, I have called the support line and have had no luck with help from them unless I want to pay almost $2.00 a minute. Even if I did make that mistake and pay for help, I do not believe they would be able to fix all of the problems! I can'y even back my data up without getting an error message. I have since re-installed version 2003 and now have no errors? Seems to me that if a company was to issue / sell a software product that they could at least supply the buyer some support when it does not work correctly. I have had good luck with version 2003 but after this experience have since downloaded 'Money'. Can't say if I will switch, but gaurantee I will not buy another upgrade of Quicken.

Summary: INTUIT You Owe Us All A Refund!!!!!!!
Review: Another consumer who wasted $35 (at Sam's Club) on this horrendous software!
Not only does it have all of the aforementioned problems, but its screens are a cluttered mess! What torques me is that I'm unable to rid the screen of things I don't want, need, or use. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! If you have 2000, stick with it. I'm hoping I can reload my 2000 version. 2004 will be donated to some unsuspecting soul via the local Salvation Army thrift shop.

Summary: Stay Away from 2004
Review: I have used Quicken for the past 5 years, with a few annoying problems, but was able to work around them. Unfortunately, I purchased the 2004 Premier and really regret it. I reported to Quicken half a dozen times in November and December that the calendar feature will not open in 2004. No response. Now that is IS 2004, Quicken will not work AT ALL! When I called the 'no support' number, and yes, in India, on Jan.1, the guy said they were getting alot of calls, and will fix it in 24 hours. That was it. It is Jan 4 now, no fix, no nothing, no worky. Buy Microsoft Money.

Summary: Give it back to Intuit!
Review: I have had nothing but unresolvable problems with the past couple revisions. The other reviewer is right, customer support stinks, Intuit is slow to repond or fix bugs and the product which we are all purchased to centralized our financial information, the very core of our existance, is at best "dangerous" to chance using it with your data. Count me as another one to flee to Microsoft Money.
