    I have been using Microsoft Money 2004 for the past twelve years. It is not compatible with Windows 10, so I needed a replacement. Quicken is an easy program that keeps track of my expenses.

    Depends on the computer savvy you have.

    I am not the person to give an (easy or difficult) review. The people at Best Buy did what they could to help me and suggested calling Quicken. I did make that call. The person there was very good and didn't loose patience with my non-computer know how. Once I somewhat caught on, I now can at least manage to get into the program. This old dog has real trouble learning new electronic tricks. I am sure the product is great so I will go with 4 stars.

    The new features wit hooking up to your accounts and tracking spending is really nice. This is a few years newer than my last version and I really like it.

    I had used Quickens for 7 years but purchased a newer version when I got a new computer. I find this version not as easy to reconcile accounts but does everything my old version did and more.

    I needed to install Quicken on new computer in order to use my flash drive records. This one is not as user friendly as previous versions.

    So far I have not had great success. Many of the accounts I'm trying to add, keep giving me a new obstacle to overcome. It's not easy to erase a bunch of items at once, in fact I don't think it's possible. Many live by Quicken so I am not giving up yet. I need it to be a little easier and smoother to operate. I will be looking for training videos to get this down. Good luck if you are not computer savvy.

    My wife uses it. She had quite a few problems exporting files from an older version. Geeksquad was finally able to assist in the transfer.

    Needed to update after OS on old system became corrupted. Getting my business info was one of my top priorities. Did not have old Quicken 2010 disc to load onto new computer so bought Q 2016. All my financial records transferred. Yea!

    I got this as an upgrade to my 2013 quicken. I think quicken is a great tool to manage and stay on top of your bills and when it is owed. I have used this for years and will continue for years to come.

    For the most part it's a pretty complete tool for monitoring your money, however, I would prefer that the budgeting tools were more customizable. I don't like the way monthly expenses are entered.
