In fact within a few months of the original release, Quicken for Mac 2017 was already updated with fixes and new features, most of which have been demanded by users. Update 4.3 was released a few months after the release of Quicken 2017 for Mac and included.

I found other information on Quicken alternatives, but none of the responses address my particular question. Looking for a little help. I tried Quicken for Mac 2015.

It is a dog compared to Quicken for PC 2015. I am running Parallels and Windows 7 for the sole purpose of using Quicken for PC 2015.

That is a waste of computer resources, as my needs are really simple. I only need a check register and (most importantly) the ability to run reports as Quicken-PC does.

I have to say Quicken-PC is excellent for this feature. Question: Does anyone know of a good MAC alternative that is well designed to run checking account records and to generate useful reports therefrom? Sincerely appreciate any suggestions.

Click to expand.Yes and no. I also used Quicken for PC using Parallels before moving to MD. I think the trick is, you have to get the QIF file from the PC side to the Mac side. (I am pretty sure there is migration information at the MD help website.) That said, I do remember having enough issues doing it that I just started fresh with MD.

They have a free trial but it's limited to 100 manually entered transactions. Enough to give you a feel for the UI and functions. They also have a 90-day money back guarantee. I used Quicken for many years and I am not sure you will find any transition painless. Maintain both Quicken and whatever you choose for a new app for a while until you are sure. Here is a link for importing QIF files into MD.

I'm still using Quicken Essentials for Mac v1.7.4 on Yosemite 10.10.2. I imported my old Quicken for Mac when it was no longer supported. Lion I think. Mac My data file goes back to July 2002. I use it to track checking, savings, IRA, credit cards, mortgage, and car payment accounts, and I carefully categorize each transaction. The builtin budget and scheduling tools help me stay up to date and the bills paid on time. There's a few tracking tricks I've figured out but it works for my needs and does it very well.

Category and accounting reports are fairly straight forward to set up too. I built a 1040 tax report that I print at the end of the year. One click and print, boom, taxes done. Just copy the numbers to the 1040 and file.

Click to expand.YES: It is called Quicken for Mac 2007 and it is available from Intuit for $15! Intuit, after years of otherwise abusing the Mac user base, is now misleading them with the release of 'Quicken 2015 for Mac' which is an update of the generally loathed 'Quicken Essentials for Mac' and is NOT an update of Quicken 2007! I have used Quicken on the Mac platform since the mid-90s and I continue to do so with Quicken 2007.

It works on OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion, Maverick and Yosemite.
