The new version had four key features: to see all your accounts one place, to see where your money is going, to stay on top of bills, and to track goals for saving money. People that are new to Quicken will love how easy it is to get started. The new version looks great and shows a lot of attention to simplifying the user experience in areas like adding new accounts. One of the design goals was to create a financial app that would feel at home as part of the iWork suite and it mostly succeeded.
QUICKEN ESSENTIALS FOR MAC REVIEW CODE
To start on the new version, Intuit threw away the code for previous releases and started over to create a Mac native version with a modern look and feel. Understandably, the new Quicken Essentials shows a strong Mint influence. That move appeared to show that Intuit was floundering and was looking for outside help to fix its core PFM business. Last September, Intuit took another look at that startup and acquired and placed Mint’s founder, Aaron Patzer at the head of the personal finance group at Intuit.

Intuit tried an online product that worked with the Mac, but were bewildered when a little startup, created as an anti-Quicken, amassed more subscribers. Since that time, Intuit has struggled to define its Mac strategy and loyal users have felt left behind. Quicken 2007 for Mac was released in August of 2006. If you are new to Personal Finance Management (PFM) software, then you will probably really like Quicken Essentials but still feel a little confused about why you have to pay $60 $69 for it. If you’re a die-hard Quicken user, you will hate (I mean really loathe and despise) the new Quicken Essentials product. I spent the last week or so playing with a copy of the new Quicken Essentials for Mac from Intuit and I can make this review really short for you.
