I’m now about one month into my foray with Quicken 2013 Deluxe (upgraded from Quicken 2010 Deluxe<\/a>), and the results are …uh … less than optimal.<\/p>\n

In other words, this program is a mess.<\/p>\n

In addition to the cash-flow-tracking problems<\/a> mentioned earlier, I’m now having Recurring Bills VANISH ALTOGETHER when I click to enter them. My monthly cable bill, for example, when I clicked its ENTER button in the “Bills” tab … well, not only did it not appear in my register, it disappeared entirely from the bill list, too.<\/p>\n

Not good. Not good at all.<\/p>\n

I’ve spent years using Quicken, and generally defending it against detractors, but this is not acceptable. I’ve never once utilized Quicken’s transaction-download features, simply because of all the horror stories (former) Quicken users told, and in my mind I just blew these problems off. Entering all transactions by hand? No biggie. It’s what I’ve always done anyway.<\/p>\n

But to have a feature so basic as Recurring Bills blow up like this? On a Quicken release that’s been through 10 updates already? All while the folks at Intuit can’t come out with more crap features fast enough every year?<\/p>\n

Totally. Not. Acceptable.<\/p>\n

My Quicken use dates back to the mid-1990s, 3.5″ disk days.<\/p>\n

At this point, my continued support of Quicken is tenuous. At best.<\/p>\n

YNAB 4<\/a> is looking better and better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
