It stinks!
After yet another frustrating and fruitless session with this worthless software, I logged on here at Amazon to write a scathing revew.Lo and behold, many other reviewers had beat me to it!Kinda makes my day to see I'm not alone. Quicken camebundled with my new Mac G5 -- but Apple wasn't doing me any favors.Where to start?Poorly designed interface, difficulty of use, absence of many keyboard shortcuts, and a worthless Help section head the list.I was using Microsoft Money 99 on my old PC before making the switch and I loved it:easy to use, easy to look at, straightforward instructions and a plethora of shortcuts made it user-friendly.It was everything Quicken for Mac isn't, in other words.
Somehow I accidently deleted several weeks of register entries -- gone forever.Okay, I'm a computer klutz, but this NEVER happened in over 5 years of using Money '99.I tried to find 'list of payees' in the Help section.Pretty simple, you would think, but it only came up with 'On-line Payee' - something quite different.That's just one example of many.Also, I found it extremely tedious, bordering on impossible, to set up new categories and subcatagories of payments. On the other hand, Quicken has a lot of fancy bells and whistles I'll never use, and I doubt that most customers will, either.Since I have a Mac now, I obviously can't go back to MIcrosoft Money, but there's gotta be something out there that's better-and cheaper--than Quicken, i.e., anything!Maybe it just got fat and lazy over the years -- but whatever the reason, don't even THINK about buying it.

Causes more work than it saves.
Quicken 2004 came as part of the software package on my iBook.I tried to set up my accounts but I found the user inferface baffeling and difficult to use.Worse yet it seemed to crash quite frequently.As for linking to accounts online, it does not seem to support Ameritrade brokerage accounts.

DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!
I switched from Windows to Mac about six months ago.I LOVE my Mac, but I absolutely HATE Quicken 2004 for Mac.It's full of strange bugs, lacks many of the features of its Windows counterpart, and, worst of all, Intuit customer support is completely clueless about how to help me with any of this when I call them.The online Help feature is worthless, too.It tells you to do things you either can't do, or that don't work.It's awful.I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

Made for Mac Users
i've been a faithful mac user since the first one came out.
I could never understand quicken (too complicated and boring).
My needs are simple I need to figure out how much i make and
determine where it goes. i have two kids so i need to save money for college and retirement. there isn't much left over for stock, mutual funds and bonds. if you want an intuitive, colorful web-based personal financial software...i strongly suggest www.moneypants.com

A waste of money...
I finally made the switch to a Mac a few months ago, and while I'm thrilled with the PowerMac G5, this edition of Quicken leaves much to be desired.
This version of Quicken is a poor substitute for its Windows counterpart. It's nothing more than a bare-bones program with a clunky interface.
I agree with the reviewer who wishes Apple would bundle its own Personal Finance software in a future edition of iLife. Until then, it's back to the old checkbook... ... Read more

Simply Awesome!!!
When I bought this, I thought I was getting an e-book and a program that would simply access the Value Line survey pages. After all, it was listed as a book. But to my total surprise, it is a full-fledged windows application that is simply awesome. You can filter, sort, chart, manage your portoflio - like Quicken, get alerts and so on and so forth. I admit that I hesitated a bit before I decided to offer this opinion, because I really didn't want the word to spread. But, since I doubt many will see this anyway - for those of you who do - buy it! ... Read more
