Quicken is designed to sync with your bank’s online banking services, but you do have the option of creating manual entry accounts if you want. Once you complete those initial steps you’re off to the races. Another unnecessary required step.Īfter signing in to your banking account, Quicken 2016 lets you select which accounts you want to sync. Also, once you log in you’re also required to complete a survey before you can begin using the app.
Being able to save data in a local file seems, to me, to be something I should be able to do without linking to Intuit’s back-end, particularly if I have no plans to sync Quicken with any of my mobile devices. While I understand the purpose of using a Quicken ID-it’s used to sync Quicken data on your Mac with iOS devices-I don’t like that this is a requirement for using Quicken. The setup of Quicken 2016 is a little uncomfortable from the jump, as it requires that you use a Quicken ID in order to set the app up. Quicken 2016 for Mac, the application resulting from this mini-morphing over the years, is a solid tool for managing your personal finances that remains as easy to use as was its predecessors, but it’s no longer the only personal financial player in the game. Not to mention a brief name change from Quicken to Quicken Essentials and back to Quicken again. If you’ve been a Quicken user for any length time you’re well aware that the look and feel of the app has gone through some considerable changes over the last several years.
