Quicken Deluxe 2015Sep 22, 2014
I truly believe that what they do is grab one marginal new feature such as free credit score and package it with the latest set of bug fixes and call it a paid upgrade. It's truly shameful, especially to users like myself that continue to buy it year after year. Most of the time when I review products I think the 1-star reviews are outlier bad experiences, but with Quicken, this is my third year in a row of a terrible experience.Here's the way it went:
Day one:
Back up everything, twice, just to be sure. Make sure Qucken 2014 installer is still around. Even though they say you won't lose your data, there is so much else that could go wrong.
Download the update, count to 10, then install it.
Hey, it installed seamlessly and quickly!
It seems to start up faster!
Everything seems to work. Shortcuts may have even been fixed.
Hey, I can now enter a number in my pay check (split), get the error that stuff doesn't add up, and it will actually bring up the right transaction! It used to bring up the next one in the list. Seriously, developers?
Accounts seem to update. Well, ok!
Day two:
Oh, no, the password vault no longer works!
Try again, reset the password, try again, research. Oh, no others, are seeing this!
Log in to a different account. After the second try of this, I'm in again. But now, every time I'm asked for the vault password, I worry it's not going to work again.
Keyboard shortcuts aren't fixed! I still have to click on the frickin' title bar first. Come on!
The budget is still slow, clunky and has a mind of its own. It likes to auto-scroll all the way to the left even though you've selected a cell and started using the keyboard to scroll.
