Customers have good things to say about the Starter Personal Finance software. They find it easy to use for both personal and business purposes. It is also great for small business accounting. One downside is that it is subscription-based, which some customers do not prefer.

    They make lots of offers to help you get started. It's probably difficult for an individual with no bookkeeping experience.

    I installed it and could not get the old files to work--so I have to go back to the first of the year and enter every check I wrote into the program. They have good support--but it's only up until 5:00 p.m. I do most of my work after 7:00 p.m. Thus my Quicken program is not getting much use--I keep procrastinating on working on it.

    Not like the original that I have on my old computer. Does not have check numbers or descriptions of transactions. To me it’s useless.

    I have had Quicken myself for years and I love it but when I bought this starter version for my daughter I could not use it because it was missing an activation code that was supposed to be in the box. This was per the customer service rep at Quicken. When I returned this product to Best Buy they opened another box and it too did not have an activation code. So be careful when buying this "starter" edition as I am not sure if Best Buy got a bad batch or what.

    The software is comparable to any banking application that offers financial advice. Save your money and get something else.

    Quicken vs. Chase Bank

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have used a variety of Quicken software for over 20 years without any issues until recently. My bank (Chase Bank) no longer accepts uploads for bill pay via Quicken. You can download cleared transactions but can no longer enter a bill payment or send a check via Quicken, you MUST log into Chase's website to pay bills. Regrettably, Quicken requires full payment while the consumer realizes only limited functionality of the software with this bank. Prior to this change Quicken ROCKED! I would prefer now to upgrade every 5 years and pocket the difference. Using Chase's website for bill pay or sending checks is easy and transcribing a few transactions each month to Quicken Starter is easy peasy!

    No More Quicken For Me

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Been with Quicken for many years. Dropped all earlier entries and now can only view 2021 forward. Unreliable recording and downloading of bank data. Puts entries anywhere for me to relabel and correct. I spend more time correcting Quicken than it's worth. Not worth $52.
