Multi-currency reporting for Q Mac -- when?!!

drewo. · September 3

I have been a Quicken user for >20 years but for the last 10+ have been painfully using Parallels desktop to run Windows on my Mac to be able to maintain continuity. I have wanted to switch over to Mac but the deal-breaker is multi-currency. The Mac version seems to support account data in multiple currencies, which is cool, enabling me to download directly from foreign currency accounts, but I am not able to consolidate expense reporting as it would require translating foreign currency (Australian dollars, in my case) into USD. I have heard this is coming, but when? Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult a fix for the wizards at Quicken! Help!

No one here knows when any given feature will be done. I wouldn't be surprised if even the developers don't know.
There are many "competing" features that people want, and as such even when something gets "on the road map" it is really no telling when they will get to it.
What seems easy from the outside, can in fact be very difficult. I think that applies to multiple currencies.

I agree that implementing full multi-currency support is a major lift for the Quicken Mac development team. It touches almost every piece of the program, from the sidebar to reports, from dashboards to budgets, from Bills & Income to Calendars.

That said, I think it's problematic that Idea topics like this one — this the #2-voted most popular feature request — has been marked as "Planned" for more than two years without the developers giving users any idea of what their plans are. I think at least the top voted "Planned" ideas should be updated once a year to give users some idea of the true status: is development work underway? is work scheduled for the upcoming 12 months? is it functionality planned for some undetermined future time?
