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. ### 2/5 — Slow *2026-08-16, version 8.3.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Improved *2026-07-19, version 8.3.0* 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 ### 2/5 — Hit or miss *2026-06-23, version 8.3.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Could use more features to support other types of accounts *2026-06-22, version 8.2.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Currently not functional. Crashes trying to open *2026-05-30, version 8.2.0* Currently not functional. Crashes trying to open ### 1/5 — Removed basic function *2026-05-22, version 8.2.0* The latest “update” has disabled Easy Answer reports. You can no longer type in a payee under “how much did I pay to…?” Now every payee I have used in the past 40 years comes up (after loading for 5 minutes) and I have to spend 10 minutes scrolling ll the way down to the letter M, for example. What IDIOT thought it would be a good idea to disable this report????? ### 2/5 — App is non functional *2026-05-17, version 8.2.0* My desktop has crashed and am getting it repaired, so I’d like to be able to use the app to keep finances updated. This app is absolutely useless, I’ve refused to use it in the past as it’s cumbersome and doesn’t show accurate numbers. Now, just at least trying to input current transactions to keep it current, I can’t even open the app. It crashes before loads. As much as quicken charges for their software, and for as long as apps on phones have been a thing, you would think they’d actually have an app that works. Too much to ask for apparently - even one that inaccurately keeps records. ### 3/5 — C+ *2026-05-03, version 8.2.0* Good up but needs to be more streamlined and work more in real time not just a copy of the latest data from the desktop. I’m paying a premium for the desktop version that the app should update itself and not wait on the desktop. Most customers are on the go and use apps more often than sit in front of a computer these days. ### 1/5 — Used to be great. Now it's worthless. *2026-05-03, version 8.2.0* I have used this app for several years and loved it for budgeting and setting up categories to track income and expenses. It worked flawlessly. Now, it never syncs correctly with my bank accounts. The balances it returns are absurd. Sometimes tens of thousands of dollars off. At first, I was able to correct the problem by signing out of it and signing back in. Then, I had to delete it and reinstall. Now, even those measures don't work. In addition, categories no longer sync correctly from my desk top to the mobile app. Many assigned categories on the desk top are changed to "adjustment" in the app when the two or synced. I renewed my subscription this year and deeply regret it. I will lose years of data by getting rid of it, but at this point I see no alternative. I am not a happy camper. ### 1/5 — Functionality *2026-04-30, version 8.2.0* I experience frequent issues with Quicken and customer service is never helpful ### 1/5 — Nothing but problems *2026-04-29, version 8.2.0* Frequent connectivity issues. Almost daily, when refreshing accounts, the app activity icon spins forever. The app has to be terminated and restarted for it to work again. Good grief! Fix it already!! Also, something as simple as alphabetizing account names appears to be impossible for this company. They keep adding useless features but can’t fix the most simple problems. This has persisted for years. There are more! Terrible developers! ### 1/5 — Cannot trust numbers *2026-04-25, version 8.2.0* Quicken in iOS cannot be trusted - most of the numbers are incorrects. This is a problem from projecting balance in the future, while the current day numbers are giving an incorrect balance of account. Additionally, the connectors in Quicken are frequently having problems (especially incorrect values). ### 2/5 — Companion is an overstatement *2026-04-22, version 8.1.1* I am currently using my iPad Pro as a “Mac Lite” setup (connected to a 27-inch monitor, desktop Magic Trackpad, and desktop Magic Keyboard). I know it will never replace my Mac, but it does a very good job handling a lot of the work I normally do on a Mac. It has been quite pleasant, actually. So far, everything has worked well—albeit with some adjustment—but Quicken, which I use quite regularly, falls well short. To call it a “companion” feels like an overstatement. It’s closer to a barely useful viewer than anything functional for real work. Any Quicken tasks I need to do will continue to be done on my Mac, and I will be deleting this app, as I have no intention of using it further and it’s simply taking up storage space. ### 1/5 — Budget sync broke again *2026-04-20, version 8.1.1* My biggest reason that I still use quicken is the budget portion of the app, but it’s been broken for a month now. The only way for it to update the true amount is if I either log out and back in or go through the settings and select to resync the data. Cloud sync not working makes this and the desktop app worthless to myself. ### 1/5 — App no longer works. *2026-04-07, version 8.1.1* It appears this app no longer works, as it will not open in my iPad. ### 1/5 — Dysfunctional *2026-04-06, version 8.1.1* Software is only as smart as the people who develop it. I’m using quicken and trying to reconcile my accounts and it keeps creating false transactions, deleting wrong transactions, and I have to keep going back to fix the problems and errors, which means that the software developers are intellectually challenged because they can’t build a stable version without errors. Shame on you. I’m going to use Excel instead ### 1/5 — Broken functionality *2026-04-05, version 8.1.1* Budget balances remaining are not updating within the app when you add transactions also within the app. Have to go “reset” app data after each transaction for it to refresh the budget. Very annoying and broken functionality for weeks that support doesn’t even know about it able to assist with ### 4/5 — Updates made the difference *2026-04-03, version 8.1.1* I last reviewed this app in 2017 and gave it 2 stars and suggested some fixes to make it better. Well, those fixes have been made and the app is vastly better than it was back then. It’s still a bit clunky, but it has become a solid daily app for me ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very basic *2026-08-13, version 8.3.0* Not useful, especially on an iPhone unless you mainly do simple transactions. ### 1/5 — App won't open *2026-08-11, version 8.3.0* Crashes at startup ### 1/5 — Support does not support *2026-08-03, version 8.3.0* 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, ### 1/5 — Crashes when opening *2026-08-01, version 8.3.0* It has crashed when opening for months. ### 1/5 — An Increase in Price Every Year *2026-07-29, version 8.3.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Syncing issue *2026-07-24, version 8.3.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2026-07-16, version 8.3.0* Cannot get this app to open on iPhone 17 running 26.5.2 ### 1/5 — Total fail *2026-07-05, version 8.3.0* On both my iPad and my iPhone it crashes as soon as I try to start it. Utterly useless. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-18, version 8.2.0* This app has to be one of the most useless pathetic apps in development. It’s terrible as it does not sync correctly as I use the mobile settings in the desktop app. My desktop app is correct but when the data shows everything incorrect. ### 1/5 — Latest update doesn't open *2026-06-10, version 8.2.0* It Incorrectly said I don't have a subscription so I updated the app and now it doesn't open at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A helpful financial tool. *2026-04-25, version 8.2.0* It’s a great tool, to keep the personal finances organized and to not loose the control. ### 5/5 — Does not work on IOS 26 *2026-02-23, version 8.0.1* Tried opening for the first time in a long time. I just got a blue screen at the else. ### 5/5 — User Friendly *2025-12-02, version 7.8.0* ***** ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-09-21, version 7.7.3* Excellent ### 5/5 — App crashing *2025-03-12, version 7.6.0* I was having the app crashing issue, but I just deleted the app, redownloaded, and signed back in. All is well now! ### 5/5 — Vastly improved since 7.6.0 *2025-03-09, version 7.6.0* Ever since Quicken rolled out the 7.6.0 companion app upgrade, I’ve had zero issues. I’ve been using it for years and on a regular basis, my account balances would start to mismatch online balances. This seem to be caused by the companion app not correctly including transactions into the balance. When they rolled out 7.6.0 a month ago (February 2025), this issue disappeared, and my Quicken totals always match online balances. Because of this, I rarely need to use the desktop app, unless I want more sophisticated reports . And that would be one great addition: the ability to import useful user created reports from the desktop version. For me, this is now a five star app that I use most days without any issue. Performance is quite snappy on my iPhone 16 and my iPad Air 13 inch. Keep up the good work, Quicken team ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-19, version 7.4.1* Have used this for years on several new laptops and iPads. Very helpful staying on top of finances and charges. ### 5/5 — Best in class *2023-01-05, version 6.24.0* Have used Quicken since the 90’s. it’s a fantastic app that helps me taking care of my finances. ### 5/5 — Good *2021-12-22, version 6.14.1* Good ### 5/5 — Finally the app is great *2021-02-08, version 6.5.0* I have 20 years of Quicken data in my account, and have been using the iOS app for years, with so much friction and lag I wanted to pull my hair out every time I launched to enter a transaction. Before this update, the developers just never figured out how to make the app work with large databases like mine, and there would be seconds of delay after every data entry. But finally, it works. No delay, just great sync, great UX, my entire financial history at my fingertips, synched to the cloud and on my Mac. Quicken is finally a complete product.
