After floundering around for awhile I finally gave in and bought a newer version, only to be hopelessly confused trying to set it up.
#MONEYSPIRE 2018 DOWNLOAD#
The usefulness of Quicken died a slow death as first one and then the other credit card or bank download was 'no longer supported'. I manually entered investment totals every 4 or 6 months, and tracked net worth at those times. I used Quicken 2002 "Suite" for as many years as possible, happily downloading bank and credit card entries in order to track spending.
#MONEYSPIRE 2018 SOFTWARE#
(It was Sage Simply Accounting's exorbitant annual charge for the software with the latest tax tables for payroll for our small business that pushed me into the arms of a great payroll service - and I will never go back! And perhaps the best part is that my last version of the accounting software has worked just fine for all of my records for several years now.) But I digress. I definitely want download ability from banks and credit cards but am totally against having to pay for this privilege on a yearly basis. Now I'm not so sure this is a product that will suit me. I was just about to pull the trigger on the purchase of Quicken 2019 Deluxe when I came across your blog. Are quicken 2018 registers as rational as Quicken 2007 registers? Also, can you still do a quick report for one category? You want to reconcile the number of shares on the Quicken register with what the mutual fund company says you have. But a mutual fund account is for buying shares of mutual funds, and the cash balance should be zero. Most have a stupid cash balance column, which may be fine if you have a brokerage account. There isn't one other financial software that's so comprehensive in this regard. These 3 columns were all interdependent and came up with a sharebalance. There was a shareprice/commission column. There was a sharesin/cashout column and a sharesout/cashin column. The action column had buy, sell, long term gain etc. The best part was that the people who wrote the software actually understood mutual fund investments. The registers had different colors depending on the account type: credit card, bank, investment, loan. The old Quickens used to ask what type of account register you wanted and then they'd start one that had exactly what you needed. I've used Quicken (Mac) since 1995 and have stuck with 2007 because 2017 looked like Quicken Essentials. Thanks, Quicken, for taking this approach. The ability to continue using the app after my subscription ends allays my main fear with subscriptions: Once you start, you're locked in because you lose the software if you ever stop paying. If they had communicated this more clearly up front, I wouldn't have had any qualms with supporting their new approach, nor would I have vented on Twitter. This policy allays my fears about the subscription: If I decide I don't need the online services, I can stop subscribing and still use the app manually. But Starter is very limited I imagine most users will have at least Deluxe.) (Note that this doesn't apply to the Starter edition, just Deluxe and Premier.
You can view, edit, export, and manually enter transactions and accounts, even after your subscription ends.Īccess to online services, such as transaction download, quotes, and mobile sync, along with access to Quicken Support, will end if your subscription does.Įven if I stop subscribing, I'll be able to continue using Quicken 2018 (or 2019 or whatever) much the same way I use Quicken 2007 today: As a standalone app without access to online services or Quicken's support services.
#MONEYSPIRE 2018 FULL#
…whether you renew your subscription or not, you'll always have full access to and ownership of your data. Quicken's subscription is backed by something they call the Data Access Guarantee, which insures you'll always be able to access your financial data. (Though I believe Office will run in view-only mode.)īut that's not how Quicken's subscription works. Stop subscribing, and you can't use the apps any more. In a modern software subscription plan, as with Microsoft's Office 365 or Adobe's Creative Cloud, you only have rights to use the software while your subscription is active. However, to profit, you need to provide things people want, so New Quicken should be focused on providing excellent apps.
#MONEYSPIRE 2018 MAC#
It's good that they're out from under Intuit's lack of interest in the Mac app, but it's possibly bad in that an investment group only buys a company for one reason: To later sell it at a big profit. Note: For those who aren't aware, Quicken is no longer owned by Intuit they were bought by an investment bank.
