Summary: Does what it's supposed to do
Comment: Very user friendly. Easy to set up and the widget is a cool little add-on. Definitely worth it.

Summary: Save your money
Comment: Having used three different versions of Quicken over the years I find that they have become progressively worse. In the 2007 quicken for the Mac this is the worse one yet. It appears that the developers have gotten lost in the high finance end and this program no longer functions well as an instrument for keeping one's check book. Some of the issues are:
Screen display not adjustable so you can barley read the characters on a 20 inch screen.
The bell or chi-ching is gone so you have to look to make sure your entry happened.
The payee field will not pop up instead they make you go back into the menu and pull it up.
Deleting an entry is now extra work.
And the list goes on and on. In short they need to learn to walk before taking on space flight!

Summary: This program is awful.
Comment: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. As a new Mac user I was looking forward to moving my Quicken data from windows to mac. As a Quicken user of many years I thought the move would be easy. This program is awful. It is not at all intuitive. The sorting doesn't work. The data had to be saved in a new format within windows before exporting to mac vs converting it upon installation. I think I'm going to use the windows partition (in Parallels) and use the windows version. This program is less than useless.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. KNOWN ISSUES LIMIT FUNCTIONALITY
Comment: Do NOT buy this product. There are known issues that prevent you from registering this product. As a result, you will not have 100% functionality. I have dealt with Intuit customer service and they are of no use. They say that the only way to register is through the program, and they know it does not work. I am extremely disappointed with Intuit.

Summary: This is an awful program. That about sums it up...
Comment: I would give this program only one star except for one fact: It doesn't crash and eat your data, and the backup settings are actually pretty good. All that said, believe what you're reading in the other reviews: the functionality of this program is terrible.
1.) You can't select more than one transaction at a time. This is currently a problem for me because Quicken's insanely non-intuitive, confusing automatic download program just plunked three or four thousand of my credit card transactions into the wrong account. So, I'm going to have to move them all one at a time, which is a time-consuming process without a keyboard shortcut.
I tried simply exporting the account containing my data for import into the correct account, but this didn't work - the import kept stalling out, until it finally quit. I tried this three or four times, using different criteria, but it wouldn't work. Something tells me Intuit will be amazingly non-responsive, should I attempt to contact them about this bug...More likely, I'll take another reviewer's suggestion and buy a copy of Parallel Desktop, so I can run an actual financial management program instead of this waste of $69.
2.) As others have mentioned, you can't sort transactions by many criteria at all. You have to go through a number of confusing steps to create reports, etc., which makes the workaround for the problem difficult to use.
BE WARNED - the 10.5.1 Leopard update broke my copy of Quicken, and tonight I wasted a couple of hours reinstalling Leopard from scratch, as it's nearly tax season and I need access to my financial records.
There really aren't many other viable options for financial software for Mac. This is definitely a market niche in need of a fill. Until then we're stuck with this bomb. Unfortunately.
