This review is from: Quicken Starter Edition 2011 [Download] [OLD VERSION] (Software Download)
I purchased this product because I upgraded to Windows 7 and my old Quicken Deluxe is not W7 compatible. Nowhere in the product description did it mention that I would not be able to open my old files with this product since they were created on the “Deluxe” version. I no longer need any of the “Deluxe” features, that’s why I chose this most basic version. So, if you have used any product other than “Basic” in the past, this product will not work for you. They should be clearer in their product description.

For many years I have been a Microsoft Money user and have been extremely happy with it, but now since they are becoming obsolete, I had to make a change. New to Quicken, it was very easy to move all my files over. No problem whatsoever. I do banking with several different banks and several different accounts in each one, but have not had any problem connecting with them. At first I thought that it wouldn’t send my bill payments out and was going to return the program to Amazon and upgrade from the Starter edition, however, I found that the software worked just fine in doing that job for me. So, it really does all that I need it to do for me. Do have a small problem with my regular checking acct in that one entry is missing and I can’t find it yet so the online balance and my balance are a few dollars off. If worse comes to worse, I’ll just make an adjustment somewhere to straighten it out so I won’t get myself all in a tither over it….. Oh, I also have tried Mint.com, which is free and pretty good, but this Quicken is better for me.

This review is from: Quicken Starter Edition 2011 [Download] [OLD VERSION] (Software Download)
After years of using Quicken Home and Office, and since I don’t use the majority of the program, I decided to update the program to the 2011 edition. All I wanted was the 2011 Starter Edition and after many frustrating hours on the phone with Intuit, discovered that you cannot go from the Home & Office version to Stater Edition. No where on Quicken’s web site does it mention that fact. Raheed, customer service rep from Intuit, told me that “there was no where on the website that it said it would work either!” It took me three weeks to get my money back, and only after I contacted Amazon. Once again they stand behind the products they sell, even if the company doesn’t.
