If they didn't give a crap about it why did they just rewrite the entire thing in Cocoa? It's quite obvious why it doesn't include all the features 2007 had, because it's brand new.
I would be interested in hearing from others who have moved from Quicken on the Mac to something else on the Mac. Sorry, I know enough about network security and the Internet to NOT want my financial data on somebody else's servers. I read an interview with the founder of who is heading up the development of Intuit's Mac products, he wants to push users towards their online services, go figure. I've messed around with MyMoney, but without a decent import tool to bring over my Quicken data, none of the alternatives are appealing. Now I don't want to buy 2007, and can't use the new version. I'm still stuck on QFM 2006 because I put off buying the 2007 version, expecting the next version would be out "real soon now". I tried the beta, it looked pretty with cover flow, but the total lack of investment tracking is a deal breaker with me. QFL was supposed the be the successor to QFM 2007 but never made it out of beta. somehow I feel I will still be using 2007 for a few more years.įrom what I've read, they scrapped Quicken Financial Life about a year and a half ago. I am still waiting for a new version with more features.
I looked at other options such as Moneydance and iBank, but the longevity of these products concerns me: I have years (since early 90s) of data, and I don't want to migrate to a trial format. realize the old features are still there, but you have to access them a different way)ĭeep down, I feel I will end up demanding a refund. I figured I would give QEM a few weeks trial before I demanded a refund-sometimes you really have to work with a product to learn its features. I guess I am old school-I manually enter my transactions rather than blindly downloading them. I still bought it because the axed features are things I don't use. But, it certainly lacks some major features. In some ways, I really want to like this new version it has a lot of potential. Actually, I was just about to play around with QEM after checking out postings at DSLR.
