Description
Quicken Deluxe. Make the most of your money with step-by-step guidance to achieving your personal financial goals.
I have been using quicken now for a very very long time. Every year I diligently upgrade to the next release. I always puchase the deluxe version. Overall I have been very pleased witht the product. This specfic release is defiitely not ready for the general public and misleading. I purchased the product today specifically for the mobile functionality as most other consumers did. I was expecting everything to go smoothly. After installing it and then it going through the conversion of my 2012 data i was ready to test the cloud syncing functionality. This did not go well. It looked as though it was working and completed. The only alert/error I got was "create category" and a little yellow triangle. I then downloaded and installed the ipad app. When I open that app, there is nothing there so obviously my deakto app is not syncing with the cloud. I decided to google this error and found all the other uaers having the same issue. I then contacted intuit support online chat. The support...
I was perfectly happy with Quicken 2012 but when I saw that 2013 had an iPad app I had to take the plunge. Throughout my day, I spend a lot of pocket cash that I often forget about, and the idea of being able to enter transactions directly on my iPad and then sync them when I got home was *very* appealing to me since I'd often end a month with a few hundred dollars in "pocket cash" when my wallet only had $20 in it.However, the cloud experience just flat out does not work. I added all of my accounts, but when I log into the iPad App it tells me to go to my computer and add the accounts. I've tried cloud sync several times. After about 5 minutes, a window pops up that "Quicken has stopped responding" with options to close the program or continue waiting. I picked "Continue" then took my dogs for a walk, only to return 20 minutes later to the same message and I have a *VERY* fast Internet connection (it took about 1 minute to download the Quicken program itself)...
DO NOT purchase this version of Quicken. Wait at least another 6 months to see if Intuit has corrected the extremely shoddy work evident in this upgrade. Or buy something else. I have been a Quicken user for about 15 years, at least. Over the past 4-5 years, the annual Quicken updates have been pretty sparse in terms of enhancements. As a result, I haven't been upgrading every year, though I did eventually upgrade to Quicken 2011. I was REALLY looking forward to Quicken 2013 when I saw Intuit finally added mobile functionality. Unfortunately, the mobile functionality simply does not work. Despite repeated attempts, I get continual errors when I synchronize. And when some accounts eventually do synchronize, (I've never gotten all of them to do so successfully), all the category information is missing. Every transaction says "Uncategorized" whereas in the desktop version, they are all categorized properly. This could be because of the mobile sync errors I get. However, regardless of the...
