Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I actually kind of like this program. Accounting is a pretty awful task, but QuickBooks makes it fairly painless. It's pretty intuitive, and it's a pretty good program. I was very happy with version 6 for Mac, so I was happy to upgrade. After using it for a day or two, here are my thoughts.
Pros: Intuit has made commendable efforts to bring the look and feel more in line with Panther. Much of the program seems to have lost much of its OS9 baggage and now looks right. It's still pretty crash-proof and very solid. Formatting invoices has leapfrogged the PC version (finally!) now that you can use a PDF for your template. Unlike the PC version, you can (still) email invoices without going through proprietary hoops. The improved PC compatibility is a godsend (my tax people use the Windows version of course) and all of the 'lists' (so central to QuickBooks) have been improved--you can hide unused items, sort the list, etc. All wonderful and much-needed improvements.
Cons: I would love to have all the features PC users pay the same price for!!! Mileage tracking, where is that? Why can't I create a partial invoice (say, 1/3rd of my estimate to a client) like the Windows version can? Where are the video tutorials? There are simply tons of extra things you get in the Windows version that you can't get in the Mac version, even though Intuit charges the same price for the software.
That said, I have both PC's and Macs in my office, and we chose the Mac version, after trying both. Though it has more features, the PC version is a nightmare to use! I'd rather just track my mileage in an Excel spreadsheet than sit at that PC for another hour a day! But hey, don't listen to me, I find most PC applications to be that way. Basically, I think QuickBooks Pro 2005 for Mac is a great product, and I'm happy to support a vendor that put out solid and useful software for the Mac.
