Unlike from other reviews that I have read, I didn’t encounter any problems installing over the 2014 version. Not much different from 2014.

I've been using quicken for a number of years and have been happy with it. We just purchased a new Dell and decided it was time to update quicken as well. Just wish you didn't have to keep paying every 2 years when the program hasn't changed much at all.

I have used Quicken for over 10 years and am disappointed in their new version of “improvements”. The home page has been reworked so it is more difficult to review the essentials of the financial values. The ability to correct mistakes is not obvious and requires a tortured review of the written materials and generally a call to customer service - hopefully these features will be the subject of an update so that the use will be more intuitive.

Had a really old release of quicken to import and had no issues completing the action. Up and running quickly.

I bought this version because I upgraded my
computer. I was previously using the 2014 version. It was very easy to upgrade to this version. I backed up my previous version and on my new version all I had to do was to restore the file.
The data file transferred smoothly.
Not sure I like the 2 year subscription since I had not been upgrading often in the past.

I have used this program for years and have become less impressed each year for the last several years. Too many bells and whistles that are meaningless to me.

I purchased 10 SD cards from my local Best Buy. They are 64gb cards that were priced at a very reasonable $14.99 each. I found them online and purchased 5 for in store pickup. That was very convenient. I decided to buy 5 more a few days later. But when I got to the store they were sold out. At the recommendation of a sales rep, I ordered the additional 5 online and had them shipped. Both purchases were easy and convenient.

I purchased this to replace my 2016 version, which was ok but not great. After a week, I prefer the new version. It seems quite a bit quicker, downloading my accounts works better, and the changes in the newer version do not require relearning the software. I purchased a two year license at a reasonable price..

2 year subscription???

Quicken is an excellent product! But, getting the software is getting more and more technical in terms of sale/use and expansive with reaching your data . This product, originally geared for the homeowner, can be set up for small Schedule C businesses quite easily. But is should stay as a product for homeowners to keep their interest in electronic recordkeeping. But there is a But! Intuit wants YOUR data on THEIR servers. I do agree with this cloud based decision where the cloud host business has been around a long time - BUT, many of these same businesses are partnering with smaller businesses to handle the cloud services hosting your data, through their name. It's these small unknown businesses that are risky...
You find them when reading End User Licenses (EUL's) or similarly name Terms of Service (TOS) agreements that you check off when installing the product(s).
I was caught off guard with the selling tactic of, "2 Year Subscription." I would have passed had I read further, but my client is happy to begin using the software so for now all is well.

Quicken was recommended to me ages ago to manage my personal checking account. It's allowed me to keep within my budget, and my account has always reconciled because of it. With this current version, I'm still learning my way around, but once I'm over the learning curve, I'm quite sure I'll have no regrets. There's a lot of features to get acquainted with, but so far, so good.

Quicken Deluxe 2018 works fine

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased Quicken Deluxe 2018 with a 2 year subscription because my previous Quicken Deluxe 2015 would no longer download data from my financial institution. The bad news is that Quicken now requires you to buy a subscription, but I guess it is basically the same as before because Quicken would notify you every 3 years that my current version would no longer work and I needed to update to the latest version.
Any ways, Quicken Deluxe 2018 loaded w/o a hitch and I was able to transfer all my previous data from my previous Quicken into the latest version. Quicken made some minor adjustments to the program, but other than that, the program seems to run without any problems so far.

There are several budgeting and financial software programs available for macintosh computers, but this one is the most full featured. Coming from the earlier version there are some layout changes that take a lot of getting used to though.
