I can quickly hit Command-Z to undo my mistakes. Note, that last part requires that you enable "Mark reconciled transactions as reviewed" in Preferences | General. After reviewing the information, hitting 'Next' and then 'Done', the account is reconciled, the transactions are marked "Reviewed" and the blue dot is removed. I then hit the reconcile button to reconcile the account to the online balance. So after an update, I can quickly see what was downloaded and modify the category if necessary. By default, downloaded transactions are marked "Not Reviewed" and have a blue dot to the left of their entry. But I changed my workflow a bit and now like the way it works in QM better. I too was missing the downloaded transaction approval of QW. QM has come a long way but it still falls short in some areas. Overall, I agree with /u/telladifferentstory.
#Quicken for mac tutorial windows#
I did have an issue with the import and ended up upgrading my Windows version to 2018, exporting my file manually, then importing it into Mac 2018 successfully. My file has about 12 years of data in it.
This isn't necessarily ideal, but I'm using them both side-by-side until I can trust the Mac version fully. Although I'm not crazy about the subscription, one positive is that it allows you to run both the Windows and Mac versions. I'm wondering if anyone else has switched? Thoughts?Īfter buying Quicken Mac 2016 a couple years ago and promptly returning it, I recently took the plunge on Quicken Mac 2018. Considering finances is a data-entry-heavy activity, this is a terrible design. The split window is difficult to navigate.
The graphs and forecasting take only seconds (if even) to generate. It makes the Windows version feel so clunky. This past weekend, I bit the bullet and bought the Quicken for Mac version. I currently use a Mac and have an entirely separate Windows computer only for Quicken. Problem is, the only usable version of Quicken is the Windows version. I have been a Quicken user for more than 20 years now.
