Quicken Mac & Web is a total ripoff

It's nothing like Windows version. Mac version is full of bugs.. half the features dont work. Your migration WILL lose data and the web version is like having a spreadsheet you cant do anything with.

If you're looking to move from Quicken Windows - seriously, just get a spreadsheet. You're better off.

You will pay full for Windows and once you move, you will get a list of abandoned products. Like income recording as a bill on register (negative instead of positive), all your memo's will be gone, there is no such thing in mac, the payee's will no longer have categories that stick, yes you have to enter it every single time oh and entering a new transaction in the register, yes it will take a number of clicks to open a row and then a few to fix the date, because it's never today's date in quicken for mac.

Go ahead and report the bugs, they will ignore you and give you workarounds. All the hotfixes will NEVER fix a bug, they will have a big announcement about look how cool it is, we made red become blue.. look we spent years to do that.. lol

Quicken on the web, the bills and income, is totally useless. You cant do anything with it. I asked support and they said, yeah that's literally just a reminder.. you cant record any transaction with it nor delete it nor mark it as paid. It's a spreadsheet that you cant touch.

and you paid full price when you were on Windows to get this junk.

It's a COMPLETE ripoff when they sell you one thing but deliver something totally different.

    I think there are many posters here that would echo your sentiments, but about the Windows version.
