 Good product, fast delivery June 30, 2010
Pat Saxon
I love this product, it's a real marriage-saver! My husband and I use it for household expenditures and also for my small business accounting. It has everything you could need in accounting software. Good price, and fast delivery.
ok, but could be better March 4, 2010

I've used Quicken on Mac for at least 15 years. just bought this because the previous version wasn't playing with the new versions of OSX. this works fine, but it's hardly a Mac app. there's nothing equivalent though for what I need it for.
 A mediocre product from a poorly-managed company February 26, 2010

I am writing this review to help those who might be confused about whether or not to buy Quicken for the Mac 2007 (QFM 2007).
I have used Quicken for the Mac since 1995 and have ALL my financial data on it. I use it for tracking not only my bank/credit card accounts, but also several investment accounts. I rely on it to produce reports for tax purposes. The time I spend entering my transactions saves me time and money at tax time. I also download credit card transactions from Chase, which saves me hand-entering all the transactions into the ledger. Security price updates are also downloaded. Recurring deposits and expenses are also setup to save time. So I am somewhat of a power user of QFM 2007. I run the program on a Mac Pro Power PC (not an Intel chip).
Here are my observations for those who are shopping for money management software (MMS).
Quicken 2007 is the only game in town for Mac users. Other Mac MMS, e.g. Moneydance, iBank, Squirrel are worth a look, but are in their infancy. I've looked at some of them, but had difficulty importing my vast quantity of data into them accurately.
If you are a PC user, who just bought an Intel Mac, I feel your pain. Intuit has not targeted you as a customer, UNLESS you are willing to settle for their pared-down version of Quicken Essentials for the Mac. But beware.... see [...]
Also, if you have an Intel Mac, there may be problems installing QFM 2007. Many reviewers reports problems installing the program. If you can get it installed, then you will undoubtedly realize that this is not Quicken for the PC. It has some of the functionality, but a quirky interface. Read the reviews here and you'll see that it is a step down from what you had. If you have Quicken PC data and want to import it into QFM 2007, then read the other reviews. It may not be possible to do this to your satisfaction.
If you are a new Mac user who needs MMS, then try some of the other products mentioned above before you join the Intuit fold. The customer service at Intuit is extremely poor and you will not get the help you need....just confusion and frustration.
If you are an existing QFM 2007 user and want to upgrade to Quicken Essentials, WAIT! Read reviews and research before taking that risky step, especially if you want to track investment transactions (you can't in Essentials).
I've followed Intuit's promises for a new Mac version of Quicken for the past 3 years. They rarely follow thru on their promises, and when they produce something, they don't have their customers' needs in mind. Why this has happened and why Intuit doesn't respond to the situation intelligently is a mystery to me. Obviously, they haven't felt the pain their customers are dealing with.
Apple should use some leverage to give their customers better choices for MMS. Invest in one of the upstart companies' products, or better yet, develop some great Apple-branded MMS. I say this, because money management is a major reason people have home computers and right now, there is confusion and lack of choices for Mac users.
I am considering buying a new iMac, and want my sister (a Quicken PC user) to switch to a Mac. I balk at not having an Intel version of QFM 2007 as a solid option, and can't put up with having my sister deal with a poor imitation of her current Quicken PC software. So Apple is losing us as customers for the time being, until this picture improves.
 Quicken 07 Needs More Work February 21, 2010

Quicken 2006 did not work as well as it should and I got tired of waiting for the 2010 Version. So, I purchased Quicken 2007. i should have saved my money. I can't even register this product. I have used Quicken for years and love it but the people at Intuit need to get their act together. I was ready to buy the 2010 version but it will not track investments.
 very poorly developed product February 21, 2010

The only reason I bought this couple of years ago because there was no other such product on mac. Extreme disappointment.
Since there are lot of reviews on this I am just going to highlight points which I didn't see anywhere else
1. Spreadsheet like interface. Quite clumsy to use.
2. Stores previous transaction information, auto-populates it but doesn't give option to clean up history. So first time I bought gas in Shell and categorized as vacation/gas. Now all shell transactions are pre-categorized as vacation.
3. Look and feel are poor. Very similar to 20 year old software on macs.
4. very few meaningful built in reports.
5. They didn't even bother to copy features from quicken windows.

| Worthwhile Reading | Myths and Realities about Working Longer
Alicia H. Munnell and Steven Sass. 2008. “Working Longer: The Solution to the Retirement Income Challenge.” Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press.
For more information, contact Andrew Eschtruth at 617-552-1729 or eschtrut@bc.edu.
Myth: Given the growing retirement income challenge, people will have to work forever.
Reality: If individuals worked full time until at least 66, they could enjoy a long and financially secure retirement, with incomes one-third higher than if they retired at 62.
Myth: Older workers will choose to work longer on their own.
Reality: Most people retire as soon as benefits are available at age 62.
Myth: As baby boomers approach retirement, employers will embrace older workers.
Reality: Many employers are lukewarm toward retaining older workers due to concerns that they cost too much, lack current skills, and don’t plan to stick around long.
Myth: Employers will quickly change their tune in response to labor shortages.
Reality: Many employers with a high proportion of older workers are in declining industries. Others can tap global labor markets.
Myth: Older workers have little to offer employers.
Reality: Older workers often have advantages over younger workers — including higher productivity, better judgment, a stronger work ethic, and better people skills.
Myth: Phased retirement — shifting to part-time employment with a career employer — is the solution for keeping people in the workforce longer.
Reality: Many firms are reluctant to offer phased retirement due to concerns over which workers would be eligible, health insurance costs, and part-time schedules.
Myth: Most workers can work longer by remaining with their career employer.
Reality: Career employment is declining fast — only 44 percent of male workers age 58-62 are still with their age-50 employer, down from 70 percent two decades ago.
Myth: The working longer prescription is the answer for everyone.
Reality: While today’s older workers are generally healthier and better educated, up to a third could be hard pressed to work into their mid-60s due to poor health or job prospects.
Myth: Government cannot do much to encourage longer work lives.
Reality: Raising Social Securitys earliest eligibility age of 62 could push back the work-retirement divide by changing the mindset of both workers and employers.
Myth: Eliminating mandatory retirement removed a major barrier to working longer.
Reality: Mandatory retirement could actually promote longer work lives by providing both employers and workers clear expectations about when careers end.
