However they are clearly struggling with maintaining the Windows version. It runs much slower than the Mac version, feels archaic and janky, and it has lots of little annoying bugs that they clearly have no intention of fixing. ...

Thank you for the details. I suspect a while back they switched to some development framework middleware that is 1/2 their problem. They may outsource their maintenance development to a vender that has experience with this middleware but are not in house.


Who knows. I'm going to give the mac version a shot at this price.

Quote from Daddio1949 :
A little clarification would help.

What does it mean to be a new customer or subscriber? If you can't use the activation code on an existing account & installation then which of these would work:
  1. start a new subscription with a new email (using the existing installation), OR
  2. uninstall the existing program & then reinstall the program with a new email account.
It seems that one of these methods should work.

It asks for your Quicken account. When I logged in with my account that had run Classic in the past and expired for around a year it said the activation code was for New Subscribers only and gave me a link for a refund.

Any other differences you can think of?

I noticed I can't manage my Fidelity brokerage account as a "detailed" account or whatever it's called, just "simple" which was surprising and disappointing.

It does feel much more solid than Windows so I will probably just try to make do with it.
It's been quite a while since I abandoned the Windows version, so I've so gotten used to the Mac version that I couldn't tell you. There were more missing features back when I switched (loan accounts at the time were almost nonexistent) but they've added back everything I've needed.

I have all my Fidelity accounts setup as detailed, so I don't know what happened for you. Sorry.

I just use google sheets. Sure, you can't connect your cards/bank but it being more manual means that you have to look at and register all your purchases again
Uh, no. Maybe for your "checkbook" but you don't manage decades of investments and retirement plans and reports etc in a manual spreadsheet.

sold! if i can't renew I'll just create a new account and copy my data file.

extra bonus - i just discovered you can use your Amazon digital credits for software, I had no idea, I thought it was only for books and video.

I never have any use for these credits...will start paying more attention to them now!


Yeah, I'm glad you saw this. Back during the start of COVID and they were generous with no-rush, I bought some software for over $100 with digital credits :

I've always suspected that the issue is that the Windows version has code dating back to the old Windows 95 versions of the app (or before) and it's all that technology debt that they can't make heads or tails of.

This may be true for you and your spreadsheet skillset but is not a universal truth.

How is this company still existing??
Because it's by a million miles the best product on the market for managing a complex set of financial accounts. I have used Quicken for 35 years now and have over 150 accounts (many are old archived accts like education, loans,or brokerages that I moved away from over the years). There's nothing that has the power of Quicken for truly managing your financial footprint if you want to do that.

oh that's good to know, I will keep playing with the Fidelity account. Probably user error. Thanks.

Yes, that's the big advantage to Quicken Classic versus some of the other personal finance web apps out there... your data IS local. You CAN sync it with a web app and a mobile app, but those are designed as backups, for you to use occasionally if you want to while you are away from your main computer.

If you don't want to use the web or mobile apps, you can turn off sync altogether and have your data only on your computer.

What I stated is much more universal truth than assuming the most of humanity has the skills or the time to create a very complex spreadsheet. There are people that can build a car from the ground up but when I see deal for car I never mention the alternative.

LOL, still using Quicken 2011 (no subscription) with win 11. Just enter all transactions myself. Great way to keep tabs on my online accounts.

So, I went with this deal never having Quicken before. In setting up my bank account I was met with the message: "Sorry we encountered an error (it's not your fault)." I was presented with two options: either try again, which I have done multiple times over the past hour or so or enter my transactions manually - I have a lot of transactions.

I don't like the way this is starting out with Quicken. Should I consider requesting a refund (is this possible?) as I cannot enter my bank account or just write off the $19 I spent? Just asking here before dealing with Quicken or Amazon. Thank you

I had this issue also after one of their recent upgrades. Had to unlink the online feature entirely for the fidelity account, close out quicken. Reopen and reenable the online update thing and it started working again.
