1 out of 5 stars Decline of Quicken   August 13, 2006

Ditto to this review:

"I have been a Quicken user since it was a DOS application back in the mid `80s. It has always been a very good and reliable product. However: Quicken 2006 is by far the worst release of Quicken Intuit has ever produced. "

Today it cannot even print a simple report, while all other software on my system is functioning with out problems.

This just proves software should not be purchased on past history alone...



1 out of 5 stars Do not buy if you want to write checks with it   May 22, 2006

I have used quicken for years. I bought a new computer and got an upgrade(at least I thought so) with it. It is not user friendly. I tried to use the check writing part. You have to order checks through Intuit with your name address and bank numbers on them. The only thing you can do is put the amount who it is to and a check number on it. What is the use if you cannot print the whole check with a blank form. What a waste this is! I am throwing mine away and getting something else. I would not recomend this to my worst enemy!


1 out of 5 stars You will hate yourself if you buy this   April 2, 2006

The only thing I can think about Intuit and their release of Quicken 2006 is that they hate their customers and care only about greed and themselves. After years of using quicken, I have to throw quicken out because only a handful of banks use their new OFX format (for which banks must pay $1000's in fees) and you cannot use QIF for any savings or checking account, meaning that they disabled this feature forcing millions of customers to either manually enter transactions for their banks or just throwing out Quicken 2006 which is what I am doing. This program demonstates everything that is wrong with a company that dominates a software sector. I hope they go bankrupt very soon. I will never buy from them again.


1 out of 5 stars A complete waste of money.   March 25, 2006

I have used earlier versions of Quicken and found them very useful. I recently bought a new computer with Windows XP and found the existing package did not work well with it so purchased Quicken Basic 2006, hoping it would be as useful. It has been a disaster. First it locked me out of my existing files, which had not been password protected, by demanding a password, which I did not have, before I could gain access. The Company's help screen offered a password unlocking service (for a fee) but would not let me use this service because I had a U.K. address and it would only accept addresses in the U.S.A. An e-mail asking for help and advice received no reply. A long expensive phone call to the Company's customer services department yielded, after half an hour, a promise to deal with the matter within 48 hours, but no action whatsoever.
In desperation I tried to start a new date file but was not able to register the product as, again, I did not have a U.s. address. There is no warning on the product that it cannot be used outside the U.S. I have now uninstalled the product and am looking for an alternative.

I bought Quicken 2003 less than 3 years ago, and now it is forcing me to re-buy 2006. The customer support web page says that they are doing it for my own good.

Maybe they should print this policy right on the box with a bright yellow sticker. This way every one will know how much they care about the consumer.

"Retirement of online services for older versions of Quicken

In an ongoing effort to provide reliable high-quality products and services, Intuit periodically retires (also known as "sunsets") older versions of Quicken, thereby discontinuing online services & live technical support for these versions."

If you love technology, play online poker and have fun with your computer.
It's clear which online casino strives to keep ahead of the technological curve and which ones slack off behind. For the most part, the online casino that likes to stay ahead is also the one who is the most reliable, offers the best promotions and customer service.
