Intuit's 'Quicken Online Mobile' Now Available in App Store

In this high-tech world, you never know what it posting to your bank account. They make it look like you can actually balance your checkbook and know when you can spend $40 or $50.

You could take the time to manually enter every time you scan your ATM/Debit card, but that still won't tell you WHEN automatic charges hit your account. You would have to spend hours each week just to keep track of it.

The only way you know how much money you have is by going online to your bank but that still doesn't always tell you what will hit your account.

For people with low balances, it is better to just use your credit card instead of your check card for purchases. The check card gets you into trouble because each time you overdraft it can cost you $35. Using a credit card limits you to just one over limit fee per month usually.

I don't recommend trying to use Quicken in the way they think we can. It is better just to have a savings account and use that money for extra spending.

If it interacted with my Mac's software (both Quicken & TurboTax), I'd be a-buyin'. This cloud computing version, though, ain't my style regardless of how secure they claim.

I use Quicken as a recorder of what I've done with a checkbook, credit card (I never use debit), and etc. I don't print checks with it either.

In that video, when they demo the nearest ATMs feature, the GPS dot is showing that iPhone literally at my EXACT ADDRESS. That is so creepy!

It's worth noting that this is what Quicken Online does...it pulls the data directly from your bank. Unfortunately, it only updates once per day.

I still like Mint.com better.

was it as creepy as telling the whole forum exactly where you live? lol

:D That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!

See, that's why I make a practice of *never* letting someone do automatic withdrawals from my checking account.

It's better to do online bill-pay through a bank's web site, but manually pay a bill each month via the site, as needed, vs. automating that process. Sometimes I get an option where a company will email me a "payment due" reminder, which is fine. But why give them free access to your bank account?

I've had a number of times where I decided to purposely delay a utility payment or a car payment by several days, so I could use the remaining money to make a purchase (like groceries) instead. Then, knowing payday was approaching that Friday anyway, I could make the other payment on Friday and all was well. I prefer that to putting groceries on a credit card, creating one MORE bill to remember to pay before a due date, or get hit with high interest charges.

This app is useless without support for the desktop version of Quicken. Oh yeah, that will never happen because that is fast becoming abandonware. I have 4 years worth of info on the desktop version of Quicken, and I can't import it into Q-online. Besides Q-online does not do what I need.

FAIL.:mad:

I've been using PocketMoney for numerous reasons but to stay on topic I'm going to give this app a try. We are slowly moving forward with these apps and it's nice to see it's release. The feedback they get will only help improve the features. Many of the concerns posted above are all valid and providing them feedback helps us all.
