Great App. and Great Tool.

It’s a great tool, to keep the personal finances organized and to not loose the Budget control.

Was Great - Now Useless

The Quicken apps are useless. A slap in the face for loyal long-term users. How anyone could give the Quicken Classic apps more O stars is beyond comprehension.

Not suitable for multi-currency

It’s essentially a great app. But if you use multiple currencies, you will have a problem. It doesn’t produce reports with all currencies combined. You’ll have to generate individual reports for currencies, and then consolidate them via spreadsheet. That’s why I stopped using this app.

Crashes

Doesn’t open. Eventually crashes.

This does nothing for me

I’m on a trip. Laptop at home. Closed Quicken before I left home and even though this app says it was downloaded as of today, my transactions are not up to date. In fact, the transactions are over a week old. Once I get home I am cancelling this and then deleting the app. Useless!

Can no longer use the app (Quicken Classic).

I updated and now I get a blank page. There is nowhere to sign in or anything. I’m very angry. Now I have no access to my records.

FIXED —— Just crashes

Update: received a developer comment today so I opened the Quicken app. No crashes now and I can see all of my Quicken data and it appears accurate. Even my pending transactions are there. Back to 5 Stars!

I thought it was just me then I noticed I needed to update the app. Phone updated the app but it still crashes.

Use Desktop Only

The mobile app is unusable. It automatically does a full sync of all of your accounts when you open it and then never completes that sync. If there are any 2FA account logins they fail. If there's any kind of hiccup on the desktop app your accounts disappear from the Moble app because they are no longer synced. There's no warning about this. Until you open up the Moble app and realize you only have one account syncing. If you're on a device, best to use the web version because this is unusable.

Slow

This app is terribly sluggish, especially when updating accounts requiring two step verification. The desktop version is bad at that too, but at least it usually works. Two factor ID never seems to work on the phone app at all. All I get after waiting forever is just a “wheel of death”, and no updates of my accounts.

Very basic

Not useful, especially on an iPhone unless you mainly do simple transactions.

App won't open

Crashes at startup

Support does not support

I wont bother to describe the issue, but I contacted support and the agent clearly had no clue. He would not listen to my issue and kept telling he couldn’t help me. Very disappointing,

Crashes when opening

It has crashed when opening for months.

An Increase in Price Every Year

Cannot stress enough steer clear of this product. Just today they sent me a “come back” email with a $1 off a month discount from $8.99 to $7.99. Thought I’d see if they would honor that as they were not offering me anything for being a long time customer in the app. Nope, as soon as I got to the pay area, they were trying to charge me $8.99 per month. Also, since I let my membership expire, I constantly get these pop-ups on my desktop application (you won’t even be able to access the data in this application) making it annoying to use my own data without any of their paid features. Finally, they talk about a per month cost but not one plan is a per month plan. Personally, I think they should get sued for misleading terms. Try one of the other money management software applications. This one has gotten me used to doing whatever they want and jacking up the price.

Syncing issue

I’ve used the Windows desktop version for 20 years and love it. About five years ago I got this app for my ipad because I travel a lot and wanted to be able to see my transaction history if a question came up about a payment, etc. I never posted anything in the app, just looked at history. About 2 or 3 times a year when reconciling my bank account the previous balance would be incorrect and I would have to create a dummy entry to reconcile. Similar thing with credit card accounts, a previously reconciled charge would disappear and I’d have to create a dummy transaction to balance. Quicken support was worthless! Googled it and found that other folks had the same issue. A glitch while syncing caused this. I deleted this app two years ago and no issues since.

Improved

Like the improved dark mode. More responsive overall.
Budget UI needs improvement; it’s not possible to make a budget amount update on the fly in a month, as the keypad covers the majority of the iPhone screen now

Won’t open

Cannot get this app to open on iPhone 17 running 26.5.2

Total fail

On both my iPad and my iPhone it crashes as soon as I try to start it. Utterly useless.

Hit or miss

It seems that Quicken is often reactive to changes by financial institutions rather than anticipating changes. (E.g. two factor authentication). The result is an app that rarely works consistently. Given the number of years the app has been on the market, I would expect it can handle the basics of daily updates but that is hit or miss.

There is also limited flexibility on how register data is displayed.

Could use more features to support other types of accounts

Please add the ability to sync the ledger of Fidelity Cash Management account from the desktop app to the mobile app as this is often used as a primary checking account.
