        <description><![CDATA[<p>Quicken advertises itself as a budgeting tool for Canada, but is missing proper integration with WealthSimple. It imports my investments and chequing account but not my credit card which is a big gap. As a result, I’ll need to cancel my subscription. I don’t think there’s even a way to manually import those transactions. Anyone have luck?</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I have Quicken Classic for Windows. I am a long time user.  I am considering Quicken Classic for Mac to allow me to get rid of the last Windows system I have.  I am familiar with the conversion process.  I want to test the Mac version.  I used it several years ago but have seen there have been a lot of improvements.  Before I do, I am trying to find out about having both machines sync to Quicken Cloud for Mobile and Quicken Web. I don't use Web, I do use Mobile.  Is there an issue with having both machines syncing the data and/or can I turn that option off on Mac and still download transactions?   Most of my searching on this returns answers around trying to sync the same data file between two computers, which is not what I want to do.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Had one of my most frustrating support exchanges trying to figure out which version i needed to buy for Canadian usage. If you go to the US site you have the new Simplifi and Classic, if you go to the Canadian website there is only Classic and no mention of Simplifi. After a very long conversation with support i got a confirmation that the web version supports US and CDN banks but no confirmation that the reporting with support CRA requirements. They gave me a 50% discount for my troubles and sent me on my way. The CDN website needs to be updated to point to the US website if this is the case for the Simplifi version. </p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I'm looking for a cloud based program that I can download to my desktop.  I may or may not use my mobile to access the program on occassion.  However, when asking if the Business and Personal, mobile version is cloud based, I get this answer……..<code spellcheck="false" tabindex="0">Yes, Quicken on the Web works on desktop computers through web browsers and you can also use the mobile app. However, Quicken isn't fully cloud-based - it remains a desktop program with your data stored on your computer.The web and mobile versions are companion apps that sync with the desktop software, so you'd still need Quicken Desktop as your primary program. You can access your synced data from any computer via web browsers or your phone when needed.Quicken Business &amp; Personal subscription includes these web/mobile features, so you'd have the business functionality you need on desktop with occasional mobile access.</code></p><p>I don’t understand how I can access the program anywhere, if it’s not cloud based.  If I sign in on another computer, will all my data be there, since the data is stored on my computer?    I’d appreciate some further clarification.  </p><p>Thanks in advance.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I was a Quicken user for about 25 years before stepping away a couple of years ago. Over time, I ran into recurring issues such as data‑file corruption, the need for frequent validations, and noticeable slowness when entering transactions. Eventually I moved to other products that avoided those problems and offered a more modern interface with true multi‑window support. Even so, those alternatives still fall short of Quicken's feature set, so I’ve remained open to returning if the long‑standing issues were addressed.</p><p>From the website, it looks like Quicken’s interface has been refreshed, which is encouraging. What I cannot determine is whether the underlying Windows engine has been modernized in a way that improves performance and data integrity.</p><p>For those who have deeper technical insight or recent hands‑on experience:<br /><strong>Has Quicken for Windows’ underlying engine been updated in recent years, and have you seen meaningful improvements in stability and speed?</strong></p>]]>

I'm disappointed they haven't made it more robust or updated it in 2025 for the tax bill.  For example, It still caps state and local taxes at $10,000!  My question: Is Quicken Classic Premium any better in the tax planner area?  Or, is it the same tax planner that's in Deluxe?   I would upgrade to Premium if I knew it was a more robust program in this area.  Does anyone know?  </p>]]>

I think Quicken should consider a heavily discounted version which does not use its download capabilities.  I get very little from its updates.  I’ve used Quicken almost from its inception and have gone from paying $19-29 every three years to today’s subscription which is over $75 a year, with very little change in the program.  In fact, several features it once had are no longer available.</p><p>Thank you .  </p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>second year in a row.  2022 and 2023 was $60 then in 2024 to $71.88 now in 25 it is $77… seems like it is increasing way faster than a lot of other things.  and there are no tariffs on this…  Fix my fidelity download and maybe I will renew… </p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I could not find a comparison of the two products to understand what the differences are. Describing one as "local" and the other as "in the cloud" means little unless the products are identical in all other functionality. Is that the case?</p><p>Please provide a breakdown of which business product has which functionality.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Saw the sale prices for today's Black Friday at Quicken.com.  I ate lunch and when I went and  opened the web page to order Quicken Classic Premier at 47% off all the sale prices for Quicken Classic versions as advertised had been changed and no % off at all. The Mobile and Web versions still show a sale price and show the % off.</p><p>I guess some got the good deal price before they took it down..,…. not a good look Quicken…</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>How about rewarding customers who have been with you for almost 40 years!  It astounds me that I can purchase a copy at Sam's Club for $56, but I have to renew it on Quicken's website for $105 to keep the same user account.  Why don't you let the new user pony up the $105 dollars with the bait that'll be half that when it renews?</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Looks like the Quicken folk have wised up to losing revenue by the subscription key cards being available at places like NewEgg. This one in the subject is no longer available. The only ones available are for new subscribers only.</p><p>Anyone seen this product anywhere else or have Quicken killed them all?</p>]]>
