1.0 out of 5 stars Can't download online data, September 10, 2006

This review is from: Quicken Basic 2007 [OLDER VERSION] (CD-ROM)

As of this writing, Quicken's servers have been non-functional 90% of the time, meaning that I cannot download my financial institutions' online data. The program itself is good, but don't expect it to be able to download your financial data.

1.0 out of 5 stars Take me back to Quicken 99!!!, September 27, 2006

I wish there was a negative star rating! LOVED Quicken 99 but due to a computer upgrade, bought Quicken Basic 2007. HATE IT! So basic as to be totally useless. Can't download my monthly statements into this program. It doesn't accept the .qif file Bank of America converts my data into. If I can't transfer my info from Quicken 99 into 2007 (or any other Quicken program) I AM TOTALLY SCREWED!!!!!!!! Not sure what to do but probably will move away from Quicken altogether beccause of this. I am that MAD!

1.0 out of 5 stars discontinues after 3 years, February 3, 2007

By 

CompSci major (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quicken Basic 2007 [OLDER VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Don't buy Quicken. I was shocked to get an email from them saying that my Quicken 2004 software would no longer work for downloading data after April 30, 2007.

The software automatically disables online downloads after three years. This is now company policy.

I have used Quicken for many years but now I am going with GnuCash-- it is free, open-source, and works great!
