Looks nicer than Windows version EASY and FAST!   June 10, 2003

i just "switched" to Mac from Wintel/Linux and I am getting some programs converted.
YOU MUST INSTALL THE UPDATES! I went into Quicken 2003 and went to File and clicked on Check for updates this brought down Patch R4 - EASY install.

After that I opened help and learned how to convert my Wintel Quicken to Mac Quicken by exporting the QIF file (emailed it to the Mac - no floppy) - EASY import into Quicken for Mac.

Then I setup my online accounts and starting using it.

All in all I am happy with Mac Quicken coming from Win Quicken. It like everything else on a Mac looks cleaner but you'll find somethings they left out on the Mac version like the main screen that gives you a synopsis of everything and a overall chart. Oh yeah don't believe everything people are saying on these reviews Mac downloads at the same rate the Windows version does - I tested this!

Good product! Macs and Unix rule!


Better than PC's version   January 7, 2003

I just switched to Mac and of course had to buy Quicken for Mac. I had been using PC version Quicken 2000. This is much better. It intergrates a way to pay one's bills, where the other didn't have a way to do that. I previously had to set up an account of "accounts payable" where now in this version, I used the Calender and enter in my bills that way. Works well with OS X.


Switch with care   November 5, 2002

I'm a switcher, moving from PC to Mac. I love Mac OS X, it's what made me switch. I'm disappointed in Quicken 2003 for the Mac. There's no direct import of PC data, you have to export things as .QIF files following a strict recipe. When I did that, I got whopping big numbers in my portfolios. I never knew I was a billionaire. It turns out there's some glitch that can be found by graphing the value of a stock and finding where the price skyrockets, then entering a real price for that day. There is also no Quicken 2003 for the Mac support page at Intuit yet. Lastly, there's a problem with the date entry fields where you only can see the year/month but no date. I have not tracked that down yet. Call it beta software, switch with care. Maybe wait for the next version.
