Now that Q2018 is out, can anyone comment yet on how it is working, or not?
I am specifically interested in premier.
I am specifically interested in premier.
Thing is the Quicken App 2017 does not open on this other MAc which is on OS 10.9.5, it does not seem to be compatible, it says in the HELP section that I will need QUICKEN 2015 for this other computer, I was not able to find this QUICKEN 2015 APP.

No regrets. Other than the 'click through' bug I'm happy with it. Everything I've tried works. Typically I did have to re-set a couple of my Preferences. Even seems to be a bit faster than my QW2017. - edited November 2017Thanks for your replies. Since it controls an important information, i am being cautious about being on the bleeding edge.

I'm not using Quicken 2018 yet..and won't until at least Christmas or before tax time..giving Quicken plenty of time to address all sorts of updates to fix what will surely be a litany of bugs and seeing how the sale prices and tax bundles shake out.Thanks for your replies. Since it controls an important information, i am being cautious about being on the bleeding edge.
What I've surmised is that I have copies of Quicken Windows 2017 AND Quicken Mac 2017. I have plenty of 'download life' left before I will need to upgrade.
And since your subscription basically starts on DAY ONE when you install the software, I'm in no rush to upgrade yet.
Besides, is there anything earth shattering in either version that I have to have? Nope.
YMMV. - edited October 2017I just upgraded to the Rental Property Manager version. I personally would wait before trying 2018. I've spent the last 2 days messing with it (and I am a computer software programmer, so I know what I am doing), and I finally decided to just start all the way over. This is going to take forever! It will only add 1 account at a time. It says it doesn't recognize the other account types, but they are accounts I've already added. This is very frustrating and I am very disappointed with Quicken! I hope they have a quick fix for this!
- edited June 2018I upgraded from mac 17 deluxe to mac 18 premier. Just noticed that I can not manage my auto renewal feature online. I am required to contact customer support. I should be able to manage my account settings without having to speak with customer service. It reminds me of the old days when i had to call the operator to make a phone call.
Come on Quicken, we are old enough to make decisions and manage our own account settings! - edited November 2017Before I start paying for another subscription (kind of pricy for Premier). Quicken is going to have to convince me that 2018 is much better then the crap they produced in 2017. Think I will take a wait and see attitude until about spring before I even consider jumping into it. I try to learn from my past mistakes.

They don't want you to easily stop auto-renewal. I hate it when other companies default to that. They want to entangle you in their telephone menu systems so you will give up.I upgraded from mac 17 deluxe to mac 18 premier. Just noticed that I can not manage my auto renewal feature online.

I minimize my cloud usage as we know nothing stored there is private or secure. If you read any of these use contracts closely, you see that they limit your use of their product, but they reserve the right in the future to do just about anything they want with our information.
Once they lock you in, you either succumb to their terms COMPLETELY, or lose use of your data.
For now, Q says there is a data guaranty for other than starter versions. - edited November 2017I've been a Quicken user for many, many years. Currently running '15 and I expect the 'sunset' soon as the 3-year support ends.
Last year I reviewed Money Dance and found it OK, but not as well finished a product as Q. At a cost of $60 / 3 years, Quicken 2015 seemed the best value.
Quicken 2018, at $45 / year is more than double the cost. - edited November 2017@Mark .. I suggest you go to eBAY and buy a new in the box Quicken 2017 while it can be found there. Can be had there for very little $. Quicken 2017 will keep you going until the year 2020.
Can tell you that there is very very little difference between Quicken 2017 and Quicken 2018. - edited November 2017Does the new 2018 version have color back in the toolbar or is it still all gray with the overbearing bright white background throughout the screen?

Historically Quicken has come with 3 years of support. I'm not familiar with '17, but I've always spread my initial purchase cost over that time to reduce the annual cost.Before I start paying for another subscription (kind of pricy for Premier).

I suppose software has always been a subscription model. - edited October 2018Can anyone call out specific NEW features of 2018 (vs. 2017) that they find useful? The little I've seen says there's not much different (except for the subscription model). Looking to see if I stick with 2017 or upgrade?

There is very very very little difference between Quicken 2017 and 2018.
I'd say the majority of Quicken users would be hard pressed to actually realize that they were using 2018 and not the 2017 they were used to working with. - edited October 2017

I did what Rhinecliff recommended and upgraded my 2015 to 2017 yesterday. I got the Home and Business for $50 on ebay which will be supported for a couple more years. You might want to grab a copy of 2017 soon, as the price may go up as others catch onto the same idea.

And they are worth looking at because you might even miss them if you don't know where to look.

Note that on the 'Online Bills' (Bill presentment) that has been in Quicken since 2016, but the retrieval of PDF statements is new. But it is quite limited in which billers are supported for this. Like they are claiming 11,000+ billers, I think the ones that will return a PDF are probably less than 1,000. Also there have been reported bugs in the PDF feature where sometimes you can't view/download them even when Quicken shows them to be there.
The release notes have some more details:

Anyone looking for more than 'incremental changes' over Quicken 2017 are going to be very disappointed for the most part. But it has been reported that Quicken 2018 is now working better with 4K displays that Quicken 2017 is doing with the latest patches. I don't have a high DPI screen so I can't verify, just reporting what I have seen in other threads.
Some people might like that for the report graphs you can change the colors. Note that doesn't extend into all graphs like say the projected balances. - edited November 2017
I updated to Quicken 2018 Premier last night took one look at the Bills Tab and found that Quicken split the Bills from the Deposits so I no longer see all my upcoming Transactions on one page. I actually liked the Stacked Bill Reminder in Quicken 2017 Premier and the total overview of what was due. The split version of Quicken 2018 gives you a Stacked view for Income on a subtab and a Bar Setup for the Bills on a separate tab. The Calendar View just looks way too busy. Needless to say I reverted back to Quicken 2017 and cancelled the subscription. The jury is out if I will follow through with Quicken 2018 to me they fixed what wasn't broke. I guess they are taking a page out of Microsoft's book i.e. The start button removal and Xbox One lack of backward compatibility. I would just like the option to keep the 'Classic' View.Downloaded Quicken 2018 Premier this morning from Quicken.com. ZERO problems. Bill pay is sooo much better. The product works very well. I think with Quicken separating from Intuit, the product is much better.

I'm running Q2016 Premier and have been annoyed by the display issues (microscopic fonts on a 5K monitor). I took a survey from Quicken and plainly told them that I'd be happy to switch to a subscription service rather than paying for shyte every few years. I'll put my money where my mouth is. - edited October 2017

However, we are working to make this option available on quicken.com. We plan to have this feature enabled this year—well in advance of the first, 1 year subscription expiration dates.
Apologies for the inconvenience in the interim. - edited October 2017
Right-click on the header and you can switch backgrounds to gray in 2018Does the new 2018 version have color back in the toolbar or is it still all gray with the overbearing bright white background throughout the screen? - edited October 2018I am still running Q2014 Premier. I have not seen any strong advice to upgrade over the last few years (other than the loss of support at 3 years). Will 2018 run better on Windows 10 Pro than my 2014? I have tolerated display/font issues which I did not have before the Windows upgrade.
- edited October 2017You have a point there. I like having the updated tax tables. Also, some of the older software doesn't work so well on windows 10.
After, the last windows 10 update, i could no longer view the tax planner, and another program had to be installed. Installing Q18 fixed it. (Of course, reinstalling Q17 might have done that too. ) - edited October 2017Last night I was going to reconcile one of my checking accounts. For some reason, the update was not working, so I just downloaded a file from my Wells Fargo account and imported it into Quicken 2018 Rental Property Manager. Quicken failed to import 7 of the transactions. They all had to do with transfers between accounts. I had to manually enter them to get it reconciled. I am now very worried about what else Quicken may be failing to do! I am trying to track many different rental properties, rents, and expenses. Has anyone else had this happen?
- edited July 2018I updated to QW 2018 to try to fix some issues I was having (like no online biller list). Didn't fix the issues. Started crashing constantly when I installed the 'R2.3' patch. Went back to QW 2017

Early adopters to new Quicken versions always pay the price for doing so.I updated to QW 2018 to try to fix some issues I was having (like no online biller list). Didn't fix the issues. Started crashing constantly when I installed the 'R2.3' patch. Went back to QW 2017
If you have Quicken 2015, 2016 or 2017 I'd be using those versions until the termination of downloads is very near. Only then would I upgrade to the new annual/bi-annual subscription model.
Why? Well, first off you already PAID for your version and you have a lot of useful life left. Why pay for a subscription that will give you LESS useful life than the version you're already using?
Second, as you've seen, it takes a very long while for Quicken to iron out all the inherent bugs of their newest version(s). Why? I have no idea. It IS beta tested, but from my experience, what is beta tested isn't always what users see in the production version.
The only caveat to the above would be something earth shattering that is added or fixed. For example, if you're perturbed by the incessant 'click through' problem in the Windows version when backing up, and Quicken, by some miracle, actually fixes it..that might be a reason to upgrade.
For Quicken Mac, if by some revelation they release a version with a robust reporting engine that accounts for transfer transactions and can have those included in a budget, then I would upgrade in an instant.
But sadly..they haven't..on either version.
Other than that..I'm good where I'm at and resist the temptation to upgrade daily. It's like being in a Twelve Step Program.

We're releasing Quicken for Mac 2015 v2.9 today. Please post any issues with version 2.9 in this forum post. This release has a lot of new stuff and will require that you convert to a Quicken ID to continue downloading transactions. Here are the release notes.![Quicken 2015 For Mac Reviews Quicken 2015 For Mac Reviews](/uploads/1/3/4/1/134143551/820173935.jpg)
To prevent service interruption, update now.
As part of Quicken's separation from Intuit, we will be migrating a number of services from Intuit to the secure, Quicken Cloud. If you are not on the latest Quicken version by September 30th, you will lose the ability to..
- Create a new file
- Make changes to your account
- Download transactions
- Use the mobile app
- This is a free update
Quicken Business For Mac
- NEW: The biggest change is the move to the new Quicken ID and Quicken cloud. After launching Quicken, you will be asked to create a new Quicken ID. You should be able to use the same email address and password that you used for your Intuit ID.
- NEW: Quicken Connect transactions will now be delivered via the Quicken Cloud. Quicken will set up your accounts so your transactions continue to download without having to re-enter your banking credentials. This only affects Quicken Connect accounts.
- NEW: As part of this change, Quicken Connect accounts will now download transactions in the background meaning you can continue to use Quicken. Direct Connect accounts including all investment accounts do not currently download in the background.
- NEW: Moved stock quote updates to download in the background.
- NEW: Added support for multiple Cloud accounts using the same Quicken ID. This means you don't need different IDs for each file.
- NEW: There's a new mobile app. You will need a new Quicken mobile app to continue seeing your data. Go to the app store associated with your mobile device to get the latest Quicken mobile app.

A brand new Reconcile experience
- We've completely revamped the Reconcile feature. The new Reconcile feature calculates the beginning balance based on all uncleared transactions which is what Quicken Windows and Quicken 2007 does. This will result in a more accurate reconcile experience that makes sure your Quicken balance actually matches your online or statement balance. In the previous reconcile feature, your Quicken balance was not actually used in the reconcile process and could result in errors. This may mean that the first time you use this new feature you'll discover discrepancies that have always existed but weren't obvious when using the old reconcile feature. To quickly fix this, click on the gear icon to Start Fresh or Add an Adjustment.
- NEW: Choose to reconcile against an online balance or paper statement.
- NEW: Display only uncleared transactions.
- NEW: Check or uncheck all transactions with one click.
- NEW: Added payment and deposit columns in the Reconcile register.
- NEW: Added payment and deposit totals in the reconcile screen.
- IMPROVED: Clear column renamed to Clr so that the column can be narrowed.
When this feature was introduced in Quicken for Mac 2016, it caused a lot of pain for customers because the old reconcile allowed transaction errors to be introduced in the file. We wrote a detailed explanation of how Reconcile works in a forum post called Quicken Mac v3.5 Reconcile Troubleshooting.
- NEW: You can now enter and create a 12-month budget. In 2015, you will still only be able to see one month at a time but you can plan for an entire year.
- NEW: Now customize your budget with one-time-only, periodic and recurring monthly expenses.
- NEW: Portfolio Time Machine (As Of Date)
- See the historical value of your portfolio and individual holdings at a particular point in time.
- Track your investment performance over the past days, weeks, or years.
- Gain deeper learning and insights for future investing.
- IMPROVED: Greatly improved portfolio view performance. Most are seeing at least a 200% speed increase.
- IMPROVED: Changed investment portfolio so that the number of shares display up to 6 decimal places. (This was a request from kelly1, smayer97, rgw2012, jacobs, billp, canuckguy, and m.c.crockett in Quicken Live Community).
- IMPROVED: Quicken will automatically add price history for buy and sell transactions if there isn't current quote data for a particular day. This should result in improved charting.
- IMPROVED: Portfolio view can now expand and fill the entire width of the screen.
- BUG FIX: Fixed an issue where the security name would overlap the disclosure triangle if the name was really long.
- BUG FIX: Fixed an issue in Portfolio View where the disclosure triangle would open multiple securities when in investment, brokerage, retirement or education views.
- BUG FIX: Improved an issue where the chart would show spikes or dips due to stock splits or purchases.
- BUG FIX: Fixed an issue where short sells and covered calls didn't appear in reports. (Thanks to Mr. Cribb for tracking this down and working with us to fix the issue.)
- BUG FIX: Fixed the day change value for mutual funds when using Update All (Thanks to jtarver for bringing this to our attention).
Quicken For Apple Mac
- NEW: Now, finally, you can convert your Quicken Windows files (.QDF files) to Quicken Mac without Windows! The Windows to Mac conversion and file import now happens seamlessly on your Mac. No need to have access to a Windows computer or create a transfer (.QXF) file. All you need is your Quicken Windows (.QDF) file.
- NEW: Now you can export Category Summary and Tax Schedule reports to a CSV file (compatible with Excel, Numbers and other spreadsheets). We've received a lot of requests for this one. Enjoy!
- NEW: Added ability to create Quick Category and Tag reports by right clicking (CTRL+Click) on a transaction and selecting Report [Category or Tag].
- IMPROVED: Dramatically reduced file size by eliminating unused data backups stored in the file.
- IMPROVED: Eliminated width restrictions in reports so they can now expand and take up the full width of the screen.
- IMPROVED: Updated Category, Tag, and Action screens to be consistent with Payee and Securities.
- IMPROVED: Added an ability to easily fix a 324 dead account issue. Simply click Setup in Account Status window to fix your account.
- FIXED Made a number of general stability improvements.
9/27 - Released Version 2.9.1 - This fixed a bad crash that would affect users who were still running MacOS 10.9.

In fact the more I read this, the more it looks like a lot of details for QM2016 Release notes. Wordpress for mac. Is that intentional?
smayer97, you're quite perceptive. 2015 and 2016 are basically the same app now so 2015 customers kind of get a free upgrade to 2016 but we turned off a few of the big-ticket items like bill pay and 12-month budgets. - edited September 2017
We make a backup copy of your file so if something goes wrong you can always go back to your backup. The error that you're mentioning doesn't sound like a Quicken issue. For whatever reason, the macOS is telling Quicken that it can't write to your backup location. Is your backup location locked or read-only for some reason? Are others getting this issue?After installing the update, during the 'updating your Quicken data' I am getting an error saying that a backup couldn't be copied because I do not have permission to access 'backups'. It seems every time there is an update there are issues and I send all day fixing it to where the product works. This is so frustrating. - edited September 2017
Did you create a new Quicken ID? If you don't create a Quicken ID, nothing will work. We are no longer part of Intuit and are being forced to move everyone off of Intuit's technology infrastructure. We don't have a choice so you don't have a choice. You must create a Quicken ID or this won't work.updated and now i can not update my online accounts in this new version. just does nothing. why oh why do i do this upgrade stuff. - edited September 2017
Weird. Thanks for reporting this.I update to 2.9 and all looked good except in my checking account there was no info in the balance column. It was fine in all other accounts, credit card, savings, etc. I reset the filters, didn't work, closed & opened Quicken app. Not sure what I ended up doing but it finally showed balance. - edited October 2017
This isn't broken but the behavior is slightly different. The way this works now is that if you see a blue dot it means it's an unreviewed downloaded transaction. If it's reviewed there is no dot. If you mark it as unreviewed again the dot should reappear. The orange pencil identifies manually entered transactions. When they are auto-matched with a downloaded transaction they will turn into blue pencils. We changed this because a number of customers didn't want to see any icon when the transaction was reviewed.This release has completely borked the Status field.

Did you create a new Quicken ID? If you don't go through this process, no connected services will work.After updating I can not synchronize any accounts. It gives me an error that it can't connect to the servers. I also get a notice that 2.9.1 is available but there is no file to download. - edited October 2017
Marcus, it is broken. I’ve tried all 4 options. No change. I don’t sync with bank account and do everything manually, if that is a helpful hint for your eng team.This release has completely borked the Status field.

There is no way Quicken deleted your file. What does re-enter mean? Are you saying when you relaunched Quicken? When you launch Quicken and go to File : Open Recent what do you see? Also, I don't think we pop-up the Sign In screen unless we're trying to open a file so there must be a file there.Tried to update last night due to the dire warnings and impending deadlines. I had to change my password to conform to new standards. All seemed well until I tried to re-enter. My data file is gone. It is nowhere on my computer. Moreover, the new password nor the old one is recognized. What a total mess! As I write this, I've been on chat for over 4 hours and still not response. As someone who's used Quicken for 20 years, and has been a beta tester for them in the past, this is unbelievable. - edited October 2017
I used to sort using that column for various reasons, but now it'll sort the hand-entered transactions separately from the downloaded. But why do I care? I'm more interested in reviewed or unreviewed, not whether it's hand-entered or not.This release has completely borked the Status field.

To be clear, I cannot change the status of any transaction. This is a bug.This release has completely borked the Status field. All my previous 'blue dots' that indicated a reviewed item are clear. I can't change the status of any of the items. - edited September 2017
Saty, you're right. I was only thinking of the connected account situation. I'm assuming you're seeing the orange pencil with no way to dismiss the pencil? Let me know if you're seeing something else. Barbara, you can filter by Not Reviewed. Possibly that would help now that the sort has changed.This release has completely borked the Status field.

Yes, I created a new id as part of the process I was walked through by the upgrade process.After updating I can not synchronize any accounts. It gives me an error that it can't connect to the servers. I also get a notice that 2.9.1 is available but there is no file to download.
