Quicken Essentials for Mac 1.6.1f6707-Powerful but disappointing personal finance suite

*Quicken Essentials for Mac* is a powerful personal finance suite for Macs
that aims to bring all of your finance needs under one umbrella. Quicken
Essentials for Mac is the successor to Quicken 2007 and has been a long time
in coming. Many may be surprised by how bloated it has become. Quicken
Essentials for Mac certainly tries to fit a lot in - it allows you to view
all of your bank accounts in one place within a heavily revamped interface
that aims to make things clearer. Quicken Essentials for Mac automatically
categorizes transactions so you can see where your money is going plus
snapshots of upcoming bills and paychecks. It also supports importing of data
from earlier versions of Quicken as well as the Windows version. Annoyingly
however, major features such as the ability to pay bills, store investment
transaction history and export to TurboTax have been dropped in this version.
Quicken Essentials for Mac also leaves something to desired on its much
vaunted reporting functions for many users. The way it handles calculations
of money in and out isn't as straightforward as it should be and you can't
arrange categories in batches very easily has been noted. It's also rather
annoying that there is not trial version available with which to assess
whether its worth trusting Quicken Essentials with your finances. *Quicken
Essentials for Mac is a powerful finance suite but the decision to drop many
online features and lack of improvement in certain areas mean it will be a
disappointment to dedicated Quicken users.*Download *Quicken Essentials for
