Take me back to Quicken 2008 please! September 14, 2008

I would not recommend this upgrade to anybody that downloads transactions from their financial institutions. There appears to be a major bug (well documented in the Quicken user forums) which prevents downloaded transactions from matching entries currently in your registries. So far Quicken refuses to acknowledge this problem even though many, many customers are experiencing it. This bug creates a totally manual system of matching downloaded entries which greatly decreases the value of even having downloaded transactions to begin with. I have been a long time Quicken customer and user and this is by far the most bug prone release I have seen. I would switch back to Quicken 2008 in an instant because at least the core product worked there. If you thinking about buying this product I wouldn't. You will regret it just like me.

Quicken 2009 has some major bugs September 12, 2008

I have been using Quicken since the DOS version and am therefore very familiar with it. There is a rule that most Quicken users live by: Don't upgrade until at least Revision 1 is released. There have already been many bugs found with Quicken 2009. Just do a Google search and you will read about them. This has been a pattern with Quicken for several years and they don't seem to learn from their mistakes. I found it interesting that one of the positive posted opinions is from a beta tester. Given the number of problems with this new release, I would suggest that Quicken find them some new beta testers.

Quicken Premier and Deluxe September 11, 2008

I've used Quicken since the late 80s. I've tried MS Money, as well as other small accounting programs, but I always come back to Quicken. Though there are small things I do not like about Quicken (all the commercial stuff that gets offered) over all, I really think it is the best personal accounting system on the market.
It is extremely easy to use. It looks just like a check book register, so there's nothing to using it to keep track of basic spending.
It's also easy to set up categories and sub categories (like UTILITIES:SoCalGAS, UTILITIES:DWP) for your transactions so you can put everything into spending groups, for taxes or specialized reports, or just to be able to print out the payments to a particular payee or category like "INSURANCE:Health".
Once you put in your credit card accounts, Quicken will be able to download every transaction for you, and put it right where it belongs.
Those are just some of the very basic things Quicken can do. At years end, you can see exactly what you spent and where.
But the things I love the best... you can attach PDF notes or scanned documents to each transaction. I download most of my bills now a days, utilities and credit card statements, and I when I make a payment, I click the attachment like and attach my statement and the online receipt I got when I authorized a payment. On CDs or other bank accounts, I click the interest transaction and attach the statements that to with that account. I attach all my utility bills to the payment transactions and receipts for items with warranties, so I always have them with the click of a button. I can run reports and print them in PDF format, so I can email a payee with all the information about monies I've paid to clear up any disputes Or I can export all transaction to a payee to excel. The new interface is more customizable than previous version, making it easier to set up the way you like to work.
You can pay bills in Quicken, or do anything any of the others do, but I think Quicken is easier to learn and more reliable.
I know that other accounting programs offer many of the same features, but over the years I've NEVER lost a file in Quicken. I've never had a problem upgrading a file or running reports on files that go back as far as 1988.

Major bug(s) downloading transactions October 3, 2008

I agree with the previous reviewer - even with October's R2 update, most banking transactions is not possible to download in registers; many investment transactions are not downloaded either.

HORRIBLE October 8, 2008

Quicken 2009 is completely useless for downloading transactions. I, too, have used this product for years so I am familiar with it. The 2009 version doesn't accept my downloaded transactions at all, it doesn't even deny them, it just acts as if I had never downloaded at all. Very weird and very frustrating. I want my money back - this is horrible.

We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
