The Mac version's first tab is static with fixed charts and timeframes. I liked being able to customize my starting tab with charts and lists that I choose. Was nice to see where you were on your lifetime (retirement) plans. Lifetime (Retirement) Planner: Hopefully this will come in a future update, but is missing from this version. Much more modern feel than the Windows version. + I do like the way reports, summaries, and charts look. Once I'm comfortable that I'm staying with the Mac version, I can finally delete my Window's partition from my Mac. + Not having to use/launch Windows/Parallels anymore. Things I like about the Mac Premier version: One account (Webster Bank) was a little frustrating in that it re-downloaded my last 90 days of transactions and rather than identifying them as duplicates, Quicken added them as new transactions. No bid deal as long as I remembered all my userids and passwords.

I did have to setup all of my electronic links to my financial providers again. All my transactions and accounts converted and the balances were correct.

The conversion process worked flawlessly. Since I tended to update every year or so (yes, I'm that sucker), this isn't a big deal to me. They've converted to a subscription model (One time charge for 1 or 2 year subscription). When they finally added loan (including mortgage) support to an update in the 2017 version, I decided I would try again as soon as the 2018 version was out.įirst impressions of the 2018 Mac Premier version: I've tried several times prior to convert to the Mac version, but found too many features missing in the Mac version. I have been a Windows Premier user for a # of years.
