I could understand if the banks changed their formats of file protocols and Quicken didn't create a patch for older software to accommodate, which is just regular changes that happen! But to take a perfectly good working software and cut off features to make it uncomfortable to not upgrade seems sort of like a scam to make $! Not only did Quicken stiff me for the $50 price of the update, it then deprived me of the use of my online accounts. I uninstalled Q2011 and re-installed Q2008 (I had saved the 2008 data, because Q2011 also transmogrifies that into a different non-backwards-compatible format). Sadly, it has gone downhill significantly in recent years. I give it two stars because although I like the idea of what it's supposed to be capable of doing, it does not work reliably anymore.
I am not happy with this version. I sent an email and the response I got from them was incorrect.
I have to go through each line and correct the category one at a time. Have done the update and it still isn't correct. Also, each account's "Overview" speed button has been eliminated; you now find that in the "Account Actions" menu. Since it is likely that the eliminated speed buttons were rarely needed by most users, the changes will be well received.
Quicken stacking the deck, it seems to me. I am just getting into it, so I may change my opinion later, but right off the bat there were some serious problems with getting information from my banks.
Yet another example of the larger problem software companies have when they make a mostly stable, mature product but need to keep increase revenues. Upgrade only if you must. I was not a beta tester and was not "encouraged" to write a glowing review by Intuit. This review only speaks to the question of whether this is a worthwhile upgrade from the 2010 version. I do not believe he intended to misrepresent the product just, aggressive salesmanship with poor knowledge. My opinion is without the end of year reports the product is useless. My biggest disappointment is the tremendous amount of time that I waste trying to figure out how the software will let me download statements this time (or if it will allow me to do so at all). There is no consistency.
That is very cool! So if you can get by the initial feeling of terror when you're faced with this change from Money, I think you will eventually be happy with the product. Wow, that makes sense. Clearly Intuit's programmers weren't thinking and this is an obvious mistake with the architecture of the system; having two separate classes of payee makes no sense whatsoever!
It became abundantly clear that the whole process was broken, so I went back for a refund. At least I don't have to spend time chasing down little problems.
I was forced to upgrade since the feature of Quicken that allows automatically downloading transactions becomes deactivated after the program is 3 years old. There's no good reason for this, other than for Intuit to force you to pay for an upgrade.

I found it best to take security settings all the way down to medium, see if that fixes your problem, and if it does, you can go back up from there in terms of adding security options one by one. negative film scanner.
