Software Reviews of Quicken Personal Finances 2007 for Mac
Customer Review: Work's GREAT!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used Quicken on the PC. The interface is a little busy but once you get used to it - it works extremely well. I love the WIDGET that you can use so you can enter payments and deposits without actually having to open the program - nice touch!
Again when anything is new to people they start bashing things as NEGATIVE. Take the time to work with this program and you will be very happy. You can import you PC version data file in no problem.
ENJOY and NO MORE PC headaches (viruses, sluggish machines) the iMAC is the best COMPUTER I have owned in a very long time. Yes it was expensive but it's worth every penny!

First of all. I love my Mac. I switched over from Windows and would never go back. The only thing that I miss from Windows is Quicken. I bought Quicken for the Mac and it just doesn't work.
It did a decent job importing info from my old quicken files but the problems started almost immediately. One day when I opened up the program and found out that I had a negative balance in my checkbook. Quicken had created multiple copies of some of my entries and deducted them from my balance. For instance, if I paid an electric bill, Quicken would report that I had paid it several times and deducted from my balance all of the duplicate payments. It did that with scattered entries - it duplicated some checks but not all checks and it duplicated none of the deposits. The end result was that it calculated a negative balance in my checkbook based upon all the multiple debits. I spent 15 minutes deleting all the multiple entries.
It also could not download information properly. If I was going to reconcile an account - I had to edit it and do it by hand. What is the purpose of having financial software if you have to do the entries by hand.
I struggled with Quicken for Mac for a couple of weeks and then just deleted it off my system. Now I run Windows on a virtual computer on the Mac - using Fusion Software - and run Quicken for Windows inside the virtual machine. It is the only Windows program that I still use. This works good as a workaround - but I would prefer a Quicken for Mac that actually works.
Customer Review: Smooth Transition To Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very happy with Quicken 2007 for Mac. I had read many reviews on this software program, and was very reluctant to purchase the software based on what had been said in the reviews. Finally after not seeing a lot of other choices, I decided to ignore the reviews and purchase Quicken 2007 for Mac. I had been a long time user of Quicken on my PC's and was afraid of what would happen if I switched over on the Mac. Simply put, the switch was very easy to accomplish. Now I am mad at myself for waiting so long to switch. Just Do It!! the program really works. Ordering from Amazon made it very simple and quick. I love the quick delivery and the pricing at amazon.Customer Review: quicken for mac 2007

We had been using Quicken on my wife's PC laptop. When that laptop died a death, we decided to move our finances to my Mac. Part of the problem is that the interface simply doesn't look as professional as it did on the PC. I could get past that, except that the program seems to crash at least once a session. I've only been using it for a few weeks and am still trying to see if I can figure out the cause for the crashes. But, so far, it's been a pretty frustrating program.
