Summary: Quicken 200x...
Review: While the promise of this software is great, the reality is unfortunate, at least for me... It does some things very, very well - such as download & categorize bank & visa transactions... It unfortunately lacks functionality & features in other areas that they appear to market the software for, particularly in the investment area...features I'd liek to see:
- foreign exchange for investments (stick to your local $ only!)
- non-proprietary import/export formats
- easy, accurate cross platform data exchange
- H+B option (also hurts import/export across platforms)
- adjusted cost base reporting for canadian investments (or why bother!?)
- tax categorization for canadians (should be an easy graft from the pc version)
- fewer flaws (not just 'bugs') in some feature executions
- eliminate 'sunset' (terminating) download capability & 'planned obsolescence'
- similar PC/Mac interfaces many more advanced & better features seem to exist in the pc version & while neither seems truly intuitive, I can only suggest that aligning the two platforms (and offering an H+B mac version) might help generate the sales that would justify the R+D... Chicken or egg question? Absolutely! You can't expect sales if the software doesn't work or is misrepresented in the marketing!

Summary: Bugs galore
Review: You just cannot trust your finances to this program. Bugs pop up everywhere, for example transactions get randomly deleted. Intuit has no competition for the Mac and thus they put absolutely no effort into developing a decent program. Sure there are other basic money management programs out there but nothing with the features of Quicken (at least the ones that work) that anyone with loans, investments etc... need. I was a beta tester for them in the past but would not waste my time doing it again.
