Review by J. Young

I have had a couple of different versions of Quicken over my life. My last was version 2012 and I hated it. Every time I would sync my checking account, I had to reconcile since it typically missed pulling in things. When it missed a few, it became cumbersome to even want to use it, so I uninstalled.

Now version 2013. I was happy that setting up accounts was even easier with this version. I got everything synced and thought it looked good. I synced again after a few days and wouldn’t you know it, my checking account (different bank this time) was wrong. It was missing entries. I deleted, set it up again, which does take a while assigning categories. I did a sync a few days later and this time it was fine. Great I thought. I just synced again today and sure enough, it is missing several entries. One from over a week ago. If I delete the account and set it up again, those same entries do come over, so it is not like it is a pending transaction.

So, I hate this software. Two different versions, different banks, and it still skips downloading entries. What good is financial software if it does this? I want to use it for its most basic functionality and that fails for me miserably.

If Quicken support comments, yes, I have the latest updates. i also had them with 2012 and it did not matter then either.
