Customer Ratings & Reviews

I used code in physical DVD package to extend my subscription. You cannot extend it with the "Digital" option. When ordering, notice how the product changes to "New Subscribers Only" when you change the Software Format from Physical to Digital. See the pics. Be careful! I ordered the DVD and it applied the code enclosed in the box on 12/8/22 to successfully extend my subscription from expiring on 3/21/22 to 3/21/23.

I only purchased it to get rid of annoying screen blocking subscription expiration notice as I do not need the online tools.

I’ve used Quicken in the past & was excited when I saw BB had Quicken on sale. Quicken Is great for keeping track of your expenses for tax purposes. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Loaded good, but you can not change the colors on the charts in my account. Olive green just doesn't cut it. Tech Support said there was nothing I could do to change default colors.

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: There’s no better way to manage all the financial aspects of your home or business life I’ve been using Quicken for my finances since the early 90’s and this version does not disappoint. At first I was annoyed that the program switched to a subscription model, but got over it when I saw the fixes and updates get taken care of “mid-season” rather than waiting for the next version. I used to get a new version of Quicken every other year to take advantage of new features and fixes, so the annual subscription price meant a 50% increase in price. Buying on sale at Best Buy, though, makes it so that I ultimately pay the same price I used to, only with a program that is not ignored by the software developer. This new model allows you to download whichever Quicken version you prefer - Windows or Mac. For the Mac users (like me) out there, this is definitely the best version yet. Having said that, though, there are still a lot of features that a Windows user rely on that haven’t made the transition to Mac. And some usability features that simply don’t live up to the standards that an experienced Quicken for Windows user expects. In effect, the Quicken Mac version is hobbled by the constraints of the MacOS environment that often frustrate users transitioning from Windows. As such, we still keep a spare Windows computer just for the sake of running Quicken. If we didn’t have so much historical investment data in the Windows files, the Mac version might have been fine to get started in. One other warning if you’re considering a move from Windows to Mac: be prepared to redo your budgets, categories, reports, and some banking connections thanks to the mismatches introduced in the export / import process (note that I did NOT say “file transfer” process, because you export the Windows file to the web, and them import it to Quicken). So final summary if you’ve read this far: - New version is the best one ever - Quicken for Windows is awesome for all aspects of financial management - Quicken for Mac is better than ever, but not as powerful as Windows - Quicken for Mac is awesome if you’re just tracking bank accounts and bills, or if you’re just getting started with more advanced Quicken features - Beware if planning to switch from Windows to Mac - it takes some effort!

As tons of others mentioned, the subscription model is painful. I only need to subscribe in order to automatically download prices of securities - I don't use checkwriting or download info from my financial institutions so the $60/year is absolutely ridiculous for me. I still use the program which is good however. As others have mentioned, you can find this on sale from BB from time to time which makes it less painful to keep current and to download prices, etc. Make sure you buy the physical copy of the DVD. Use the activation code printed on a card inside the box. After my subscription ended, I simply clicked on "activate" and then entered the new code which I had purchased. It worked. I did not have to uninstall the previous version or install the new version (and the program updated after I activated the new code). I never minded too much paying to upgrade every three years at a much a lower price. But now I have to upgrade every year at a price 3 times of what I was paying every there years. I guess that is what they call inflation, but if I find another option, or decide to input prices manually, they will lose a customer

Like all Quicken users, I have to renew my subscription annually. This was the least expensive renewal I've paid in years because it was on sale well in advance of the July anniversary when long-time users were all converted to the subscription plan. The renewal can be made up to 6 months before your anniversary date, so it pays to look for sales before you must renew - mine was about 4 months early. One star off for Quicken updating the program without fixing many of the long-standing issues, but finding resources to add in bells and whistles that no one needs, and for actually making Best Buy send a useless CD through the mail to deliver the activation code.

I have been a Quicken user since 1993 when I purchased my first home pc. Don't really care for the subscription method, but I like the software to keep track of all of my purchases and finances.

Quicken has been an excellent tool for keeping track of finances. They only thing recently is that there remains a flag across the top of the screen asking to renew membership. I do not like that now it has become a yearly membership. We have been able to continue to use it for what we need it for without becoming yearly members. The flag is just a minor disturbance. I still recommend unless the yearly membership becomes needed.

Just getting started with this app. Trying it because Intuit wanted an outrageous annual fee to continue using desktop QB! Now I have a years old data file that I can not access because Intuit shut down my desktop program. Quicken appears to be adequate for my personal needs, but I’m anxious to see what they’re going to want for the renewal next year.

Very good and resourceful tool. Helps with banking and budgeting.

I use this for personal banking and tracking of investments and credit card accounts. Occassional issues connecting with banks bu overall pretty solid. BB seems to put it on sale at a lower price than Amazon or the developer.

The Mac version is different than the Windows version and takes getting use to. For some reason they choose to do away with the address book which to me made no sense. Still it's the best way to keep your banking records.

great easy to use Quicken - Deluxe Personal Finance (1-Year Subscription) - Mac OS, Windows

Good Financial Software. has some bugs and quirks but have not found anything affordable for personal finance. Show my teen kids the trends and expenses and they now understand finance management.

Love Quicken! I've used this product for years to manage my home finances. Easy to use and keeps me organized.

Easy to use and manage expenses , set budget and bill pay

Quicken for Mac is one of the more comprehensive personal finance apps available but if you’re transitioning from the Windows version, you may be disappointed as the Mac version is less robust in terms of features and friendliness of the user interface. The user is likely to feel that the Mac version is less intuitive than the Windows version. So, it’s essential that you understand your personal use case and select the Windows or Mac version on that basis. If you’ve already transitioned to a Mac and need the features offered by the Windows version, you’ll need to run an emulator and opt for the Windows version. It's not inexpensive. For a few years and since being acquired by a PE firm, the cost of ownership has increased. Like most software these days, Quicken is subscription based with versions ranging from $42 to $72 per year. At the end of that year, the company prevents you from downloading data directly from your financial institutions. Further, the system prevents you from importing data to the program. You’re left with a crippled app which allows you manually input every transaction, something I don’t recommend if you value your time. The most notable changes from the 2020 version were that which related to speed of the app. including: • Faster start-up • Faster loading of charts and graphs • Faster backups One of the more annoying shortcomings is the apps inability to handle warrants and stock options. If you receive either, the software doesn’t track expiry dates, exercise prices and, eventually, the cost basis of an exercise. You’ll have to track those securities on an Excel spreadsheet.

A great program has become mediocre due to lack of vision. It's latest iteration as a subscription has only furthered this. This version used to be sold for ~$40 each year. You could choose to purchase every other year and still have a decent financial management package. The publisher now lists the price at $52 and forces users to pay up each year or loose access to years of financial data. I'd waited as long as I could before caving to the subscription demands. Quicken indicated that the version I was on would no longer be supported by my banks this year. That left subscription is the only viable option. While company continues to make improvements, they retain the same slow backend database as the program is used for the past 15 years. Datafiles remain included in saving transaction is relatively slow, even with a latest generation processor and SSD. In terms of performance, the program is a dog. Since there is no viable competition, Quicken seems to have little incentive to focus on performance and instead is focused only on incremental features. I've used Quicken for the better part of 30 years. I watched grow from an ASCII based product to Windows to the current hybrid version. Quicken is good, but it could be better. In that same time frame, I've watch Excel develop from a good tool to something fast and indispensable Quicken has instead rested on its laurels and hope that no one will notice.
