8/3/18: Quicken Mobile app update availableClosed
The Quicken team has been working hard on the new Quicken Mobile app. The refreshed mobile app is built on a new technology which will help enable us to provide you a seamless experience as you go across platforms as well as deliver regular ongoing updates. These updates will include enhancements, bugs fixes, performance improvements and new features.
Our first app (5.0.44) went live last week and we received some great feedback from you. Many of you commented this is the best app yet and it’s a big step in the right direction. Others of you submitted bugs and thoughts on the new design. We appreciate all the feedback good and bad. It’s this feedback that will help us provide you an app you love.
To get the latest update:
iOS users: Go to the app store from your phone, search for "Quicken" and install the Quicken App.
Android Users: Update the Quicken App when prompted, or download the update from the Play Store.
Note: Do not uninstall the current Quicken Mobile App on your phone; having the app already installed helps ensure you will get the update.
We have been working on addressing your feedback and will be doing our first update this week. Some of the highlights in this coming update are:
Performance
Loading & changing of the categories was taking some customers more than 10 seconds. We have reduced this by over 70%, so it should faster now.
Balances
In our first release, we defaulted the balances in the app to the online balance. That was clearly a mistake. The Today’s Balance will now be the default. You can switch to the other balance types in the accounts view.
Related, some of you had reported balance mismatches with the desktop. We have found the issue and will have a fix out very shortly. You will not be required to take an update for this fix.
Passcode & Touch ID
Passcode and Touch ID should now be sticky for all of you. NOTE: for some iOS users, when launching the app you might briefly see the passcode screen flash before the Touch ID appears. There will be a fix for this in the next update.
Other bug fixes
- Done on transaction notes now means done.
- Row 1 of a split item now changes when you enter the amount for row 2 (as long as you didn’t change the amount in row 1).
Budgets
If you are using Quicken 2017 or 2016 desktop versions, we are bringing back the budgets on mobile for you in the August release.
Bank/FI Connectivity bugs
We heard you loud and clear that many of you are experiencing issues related to connecting to your banks. We are in the process of finding and fixing the issues. If you are facing these issues, you can help us expedite the fix by providing any detail you can think of – the FI name, screen shots, if it's working on desktop but not on mobile, if it's only one account that is experiencing issues or if multiple are having issues, etc. Please email the details to mobilefeedback- mobilefeedback@quicken.com. While we are trying to, we might not respond to every email, but I can assure you we are reading every single one. We thank you for this in advance!
For now, we are primarily focused on addressing the issues customers are facing with the app. We will soon be turning our attention to implementing all the ideas you have suggested such as customizing dashboard and account cards, smart defaults for accounts, payees and categories, and modifying the fonts throughout to be more user friendly. We can’t wait to get out of bug squish mode and in to bringing you delighters!
If you find issues in this release, please post the issue as a new comment in this post, submit feedback from the product, or email us at mobilefeedback@quicken.com. We'll be actively monitoring for your feedback.

- Is everything still on track for an August rollout of the new app?
- Richard, I too have noticed very long cloud syncs since updating the desktop software a week or so ago.

FYI If the "incorrect" login credentials are pushed to the financial institution a sufficient number of times (without a correct login occurring), then the financial institution will lock you our of your account. Then you will need to phone up the financial institution and convince them that you are who you say you are, and get them to reset the password.This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Q18, Balances change when I setup sync for mobile.
I’ve spoken with numerous support persons with no resolution yet. Quicken 2018 - I noticed after the latest Mobile App update that the balances didn’t match my accounts (at bank or desktop, desktop matches). As I attempted the various solutions recommended, I discovered the problem was bigger. When I logged out of the ID at my desktop then attempted to reestablish the sync, each time that I do my balances are changed (it is duplicating transactions in various accounts). So I logged back out, restore my backup and stopped the madness after several tries in this binary loop (of attempt and restore). Do not understand why this link/sync would modify my account activity on my desktop.
Try ressetting the cloud, and resynching from the desktop.I received the 5.0.49 update this morning. Checking account balances (2 of them) are both off. Mine is still low at 104.00 should be 3,000, wifes says 16,000 should be also around 3500. Funny if you watch the mobile screen, it will flash the correct value for a split second and then go back to that wrong value. Only happens on the two CHECKING or SHAREDRAFT accounts at my CU. Also as a side note, when swiping left and right and displaying the ONLINE, CURRENT, PROJECTED, some of those values say 0 when there should be a value. So no fix on balances for me, yet.
It's reporting my savings as $10,000 OVERDRAWN - in fact the Bank reports that it's about $4000.
The app seems to be deducting money I put into SAVINGS GOALS from the Account Balance , but not crediting money I withdraw from savings goals. It's also VERY buggy in recording transfers from one account to another (such as paying a credit card - but maybe I'm the only person in the world who does this?!?!?!)
EPIC FAIL!!!!! I'm ready to delete the app entirely.
Used this, with many extra steps to FINALLY get the Today & Projected balances correct on the iOS app. I had already tried turning it on and off, deleted the data, deleted the app, etc. But thinking about what you said about closing the program got me to thinking, too (also over a cup of Java by the way). By adding that step in the middle of everything else I tried, the balances are finally all correct on the iOS app. THANKS!Thinking about this for a few minutes over a cup of Java decided to turn off the sync on the desktop, close the program & reopen..Activated the sync and did the up date again. data on both iPad & iPhone now correct!..Don't quite understand why that was necessary but no need to fight City hall.
So the issue which remains is the data shown as clipped on the iPad using 5.0.47. titles ie cash & credits, today's balance & the $$ are clipped
Did you ever get this corrected? If so, please share what you did. If not, this worked for me. Not sure if it was the combination of things I did, if all of these steps are actually necessary, if it will even work again, OR I was just lucky.This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Quicken cloud sync on new app - Balances are way off.
With the new app, there are 3 balance types. None of those balances match the quicken desktop amounts. Upon each attempted sync, the balances become more and more incorrect. The transfers seem to be doubling and tripling within the app only. Attempted to fix with new file, reset cloud data, reinstall app, reinstall quicken, contacted quicken chat (no help), and reconcile/re-sync. Nothing is working to fix the balance discrepancy that started with the release of this new app.
If you try it, I would love to know if it works or not. Here is what I did:
I deleted the iOS app first,
Reset the data on the Cloud on the desktop app (Mac),
Turned off mobile Syncing (on the desktop),
Reset the data on the Cloud again, (I know this one probably was not necessary, but I figured why not),
THEN quit/closed and restarted/opened the (desktop) program,
Turned mobile Syncing back on,
Synced the data again (went through the "Accounts" and unchecked the accounts I did not want to sync and hit the Update button)
Reinstalled the app on my phone and logged in
EVERYTHING appears to be correct on the app now (including the Today & Projected Balances) each time I open the app (at least so far).
(Thanks to Concordman for the idea about closing the desktop program after turning off the mobile Syncing).
That is correct... Mobile is still in a delayed staged release and has not been widely released yet, presumably due to some issues they ran into.I'm on Android and Quicken 2018 membership. Still have not been able to get the update to the new version on my or the wifes phone. Still no budget (have the lasting disabled notice). Is there anything I can do? Is it possible I just have not hit the "wave" for the update? I show latest update to be Dec 2017.

Have you tried uninstalling the app, and then redownload it from the Google Play Store? That should put you on the new version.
Yes, many times, with no luck. The browser version of playstore actually shows the newer version, but installs the old. Play Store reviewed the issue, including screen shots, and said to contact the developer.

Mobile is still in a delayed staged release and has not been widely released yet,Specifically, it's Mobile version 5.0.47 that smayer97 references. The current "General Release" version is 5.0.35, which is available in the App Store and in the Google Play Store.
I suspect that 5.0.47 will be pulled ... and a newer version put out, in Staged Release, as some point in the near future.

The staged release version is 5.0.49. I wasn't aware that it was in staged release. It self installed a week or so ago when I opened the mobile app. It seems to be working OK, but I haven't tested the budgets.I'm on Android and Quicken 2018 membership.

Thank you
I get an error & it says "click here to fix". When I click on the link, it shows my accounts, but doesn't show WHICH account needs fixing. Using Quicken Deluxe for Android, latest (I'm assuming) version.
UPDATE: Now, it constantly updates all my accounts and transactions. Sometimes I'll get an "all good", sometimes 1 & sometimes 2 errors.
Since the latest update, Cloud sync takes a very long time.
Anyone having the same experience?

Using Quicken Windows Subscription on Windows 10.
With the previous ios App, and the new one just updated. I ALWAYS get an error in the mobile app related to my 4 Wells Fargo accounts. No problems with the desktop app, Quicken Premier Win 2018. Has anyone ever gotten this fixed?
I reset my cloud data, turned off and on Wells Fargo online sync, and never a fix.
I feel that Quicken is not listening when you look at all of the community questions, concerns and frustration. My concern is that I can't use my mobile to track and update Wells Fargo Bank, Credit Card, Line of Credit or Savings Account. I have deactivate the accounts, closed the PC, restarted the PC reactivated the PC. Now I find on Wells Fargo I can't Deactivate. I called the number on the screen provided, the Wells Fargo Rep can't help. I see there is a new mobile app coming out soon and started launching on July 17 and may take up to two weeks to get out there. I just wonder if that will work too? I like the Program, I don't understand why I can't get it to work properly with the mobile. Other companies do that without much of a problem. Can you help.

"Quicken MAC mobile App and USAA:
The Mobile App won't sign into my USAA accounts with the last and current updates.
- Mac OS 10.13.6
- Quicken Mac Mobile v 5.0.49 (38.11143.4012)
- Quicken Mac Premier 2018 v 5.7.2
The App seems to be updating the accounts, but says my 3 USAA accounts need attention. When I "swipe to fix," I get: "We are unable to connect to UAAA Federal Savings Bank at this time. please try again later" Trying again doesn't help. The"fix" procedure has changed slightly with the last 2 updates, but the problem with USAA began with the update that talked about re-enabling Budgets in the past month or so"
Thanks Mike
Hey There!Hey KB and William,

Thank you for both for your responses.
The issue has to do with Direct Connect accounts, we're currently investigating a fix to allow these accounts to sync to the mobile.
One option, if available is to switch to Express Web Connect/ Quicken Connect for the Mac, however if that isn't an option than all that can be done is to wait for a solution or fix.
-Quicken Tyka
Yes, Express Connect will defeat the purpose. This error has been around a couple years with Direct Connect, so please focus on it.Hey KB and William,

@smyer97 Yes, I'm aware of this thread. We are using this as one of our thing to prioritise. Thanks,AbhishekQuicken Abhishek I am not sure how aware you are about this but there is a list of IDEA threads posted on GetSat specifically for feature requests for Quicken Mobile. The instructions on how to pull it up can be found here: List of Requests for Quicken Mobile Features. If you have not already done so, you may want to have a look.
Note: there are some "ideas" that have been posted as Questions or Problems so are not properly tracked, but this list is a starting point.
@Homer Are you still facing this issue? Is your account balance still off ?We had made a backend fix sometime back.I'm finding the mobile app alarmingly buggy.
It's reporting my savings as $10,000 OVERDRAWN - in fact the Bank reports that it's about $4000.
The app seems to be deducting money I put into SAVINGS GOALS from the Account Balance , but not crediting money I withdraw from savings goals. It's also VERY buggy in recording transfers from one account to another (such as paying a credit card - but maybe I'm the only person in the world who does this?!?!?!)
EPIC FAIL!!!!! I'm ready to delete the app entirely.
Thanks,
Abhishek
