Helped me get serious about my finances
My dad recommended I start using Quicken because he’s been using it to track his and the family’s finances for decades now. I don’t have a history of being good with money, and I’m not very knowledgeable about finances. I do a lot of freelance work so I bought the business version, and have been using it for almost a month. This app has made budgeting, planning, and monitoring my accounts TREMENDOUSLY easier. It’s very easy to use, everything feels intuitive, you can get as in-depth with organizing your transactions and bills as you want. It also connects with third party apps easily. Can’t say I’ve run into any issues yet with that. I love it, and because of it, I’ve started checking my Quicken and all my accounts everyday, and I finally feel like I’m becoming responsible with my money. Highly recommend you get it to just make your life easier.
Latest update
I love this app, but whatever update was made recently has affected the quality of the display. Both my iPhone and iPad have been affected. Hopefully a fix is coming soon?
Good for tracking spend, difficult for following a budget
I’ve been using Simplifi (maybe renamed now?) for a while and the tracking of spend and investments has been working well for me. However, trying to use the app to track spend against a budget has been problematic. It’s like the focus is on cash flow rather than spend. So if there is no income (i.e. retirement) then trying to use the “Spending Plan” feature as an “envelope” system doesn’t really work. Nor do watch lists as they are fixed to the current calendar year (as far as I can tell). I’d love better features for tracking spend against a budget for use in no-income (aka retirement) circumstances.
Too much work
Application is limited and requires a ton of work to set up and then to sift through entries from several inputs and categorize them all.
Should be great but…
It candidly seems like they just don’t try hard. Example: the review transactions feature they just released. I hit mark as reviewed. Then wait. I mean really? If it takes me 10 seconds to go through each transaction I’m not going to do that. Even if the feature itself is a great idea.
Great program
Love this program. Tons of info and ease of tracking everything.
Slow. Locks up. Does not remember choices.
This app is very slow. It locked up four times trying to get started with it and every time I create a new rule I have to check. “Don’t show this to me again” but it keeps asking every single time. 30 rules. 30 extra clicks for no reason.
Great Web based Financial Product
I love the comprehensive subjects that are recorded, downloaded and/or reported on. It truly is a time saver and reference point to analyze & document personal, Contractual and Self-Employed finances. If I may add a "wish feature" or 2, it would be: 1. Add Horizontal scroll bars along with the current Vertical scroll bars. 2. Add an "instant back" link to my previous page. Currently, I must use menus to navigate back to my previous page.

Disappointing!
If I wasn’t already invested I’d switch to something else. And after my subscription is over I plan to look elsewhere. The monthly budgeting makes no sense and is impossible to set up. In the end this app is overall fairly dissatisfying. There was a glitch after months of using the app that my credit card stopped importing into the app. They were not able to solve it with their quick fixes so they put a ticket in for someone to work on the issue….three months later I got an email with a window of time I needed to be available and if I missed it then that was it. Absolutely terrible customer support!!!
Only App for Me
I found this app to be the best for myself and my family in Canada. It’s the only one that I’ve found actually syncs to Wealthsimple, Canadian Amex, RBC, among others. It can take some tweaking. Tried the competitor apps but they use a Finnish platform (Plaid) to sync (attempts, but fails) to banks in Canada which doesn’t work for many Canadian institutions. Quicken appears to use its own well established platform to sync for my banks and credit cards. For me, it’s well worth the price for that connectivity alone.
Old data
Takes days for financial information to be updated. Every time it notifies me I am already well aware of the transaction from days to weeks ago.
Not bad - meets my need
I’m a long time Quicken user, since it was on a 5.25 floppy disk (LOL). I stopped using it about 15 years ago due to lack of parity on Mac with Windows version. About 5 years ago, I started using it again but was disillusioned by how clumsy it was on Mac and how often it lost my data whenever an update arrived. I started to revert to my old way of tracking on spreadsheets and was fumbling along looking at alternatives when an offer to use Simplifi came up. I thought I’d give it a fair shot and did - after about 2 weeks of using it, it meets my needs. It’s not fantastic but I have one tool to look at all my accounts at the same time. Thats actually quite helpful.
Logs me out randomly
When it works, it’s a great app. But, twice in two weeks I’ve been logged out of my Quicken account and Simplifi for no reason. The first time, I had to spend over 90 minutes on phone support to regain access. They said sometimes the app doesn’t like VPN, firewall, etc and to turn them off. If this app can’t figure out how to work with normal online safety procedure, I don’t know what to say. Today, I’ve been randomly logged out again and Quicken won’t take my password. I refuse to spend more time with support. Luckily, I’ve just found another equally useful app that begins with M. Successfully added my accounts and then canceled my Quicken subscription. As well, there is not sufficient foreign currency support. This is an essential feature for me.
Bank of America Sync
After Mint was acquired and gutted, I’ve been using this app to track my budget and finances. I have so much set up here, but it hasn’t been able to sync with Bank of America for over two months now, leaving a hole in my budget reporting and visibility. I’ve spoken with customer support a few times now and there’s no expectation of when the known issue will be resolved. I don’t want to start over with a different budget app, but I’m mad I’ve paid the expensive fee for this one and it’s not working as it should.
Great
Honestly the best money management app for the price. The price is fair and it does everything I need it to do to keep track of the inflow and outflow of money. Great for first timer, like myself. It is keeping me accountable.
Where is support?
I’ve been trying to link my bank account for a couple weeks now, and I keep getting the same error message FDP-102. I’ve changed my bank password to get rid of the “special character” I uninstalled the app and just reinstalled today and I get the same message. I give up
Great for single currency
Although Simplifi supports both USD and CAD, it treats both as “$”. If you’ve got mixed finances, totals make no sense. The 2fa requirements on bank accounts make the auto-update feature very messy. I’m not sure if this is due to the bank APIs not allowing access keys, but setting updates to “manual” is a workaround if you haven’t too many banks to deal with. Other than these issues, the app is pretty good and I think it’s a big improvement on classic quicken. I haven’t yet seen any investment account downloads though - I’ve input investment data manually so far.
Getting organized
It’s ok. I still find the need to use a spreadsheet. I’d like to personalize it and can’t. It’s very limited to what it will do for me and how to function. Probably won’t stay with it
So so
Slick and modern UI, and very responsive. My biggest gripe with this solution is that it’s not “intuitively” accurate; the spending plan is “hit or miss” and requires too much effort yo make sure it’s setup properly and even then, it may not be. Needs work, but strong contender in the PFMS space
Everything in one place
Simplifi is new to me. I was using Goodbudget, but it was taking too much time from my life. This app seems to be less of a budget (still does budgeting) and more of a whole financial picture app. I love that I can see my investments and every one of our checking and savings accounts in one place. The app is intuitive and you can teach it what to do with recurring income. This saves me loads of time.
Useless
A waste of time and money.
Horrible Support
They force you to use a bot for support, which is not helpful most of the time. And then you finally get an agent, who is only helpful some time, but mostly just telling you to delete and reinstall the app or use the web version as an alternative.
Buggy
App is very buggy. Lots of account connection problems.
Amazing tool
This is hands down the best tool for personal tracking. I have multiple accounts and cards. Very hard to manage and was trying to do this with Quickbooks. This is 10x more user friendly. I wish used 5 years ago. I would have saved much more money!
Waste of $
I had Mint, which was awesome. Quicken bought them and did not learn from them. The app is not intuitive. You need a degree to figure out how to get everything to work.
It ok
The app will allow you to view your info but that is pretty much all I can count on. I can generally make one update to a transaction but subsequent updates fail.
Sync Issues
The UI is intuitive and easy to use, but I have had several issues where duplicate transactions have been created. When trying to remedy the issue by deleting the duplicate transactions, the program glitches out and does not allow for the transaction to be deleted or recategorized. This seems to cause the desktop and phone apps to get out of sync, leading to it being hard to trust/know what is correct. Long story short, would not recommend due to these glitches. Probably going to switch to a different service after my subscription is up.
Simplifi
Easy to set up. For me it’s great! Tracking my finances - I only have to look in one place for everything. Love it!
AI
Stop using AI.
Needs usability testing.
This could be a really great app but falls apart on usability for most of the little things.
Typical Intuit Product
Simplifi suffers from the same poor development as the larger products I use like QBO. Poor syncing capabilities with external accounts (the number one reason I wanted to try Simplifi), and an interface that is very counter-intuitive at times. Support is also garbage, unless you like "disconnect the account, and wait 24hrs" as an answer to your issues. Their "solutions" don't work.
New user to Q
I always thought I had decent financial literacy. After putting in all my financial information and letting Q crunch it all together, I realized how much I didn’t know! My financial literacy has shot up with the powerful tool of Q. If you’re serious about managing your finances, use Q. The cost of this product has already paid for itself many times over for me.
Extremely difficult to get a refund (if at all.)
This application does not offer a free trial, but Quicken claims that they offer a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. I thought “what the heck, I could try it and if it doesn’t work for me, then I can get a refund.” I was initially excited to use the application but was kinda met with a a budgeting system that doesn’t work for me. I wouldn’t have minded trying to learn how to use the app, but there were some annoyances with using it. One is that the application doesn’t seem to make it easy to review and categorize any banking transactions. My biggest gripe with the app is that while they do connect with plaid, every time that I would go back to the main screen, I would be asked to reauthenticate my bank with simplifi. I’m all for security but other applications make this entirely seamless. I’ve decided that this application wasn’t worth it for me and I have requested a refund. Apparently “30-Day Money-Back Guarantee” has absolutely no meaning if you subscribe to their app via the App Store. Mind you, I’m asking for a refund only 6 days after purchasing and using the app. I filed a request for refund through Apple twice, and they denied me a refund both times, claiming that I and not eligible for a refund and this decision is final. I went to quicken and they claimed that they do not process refunds and that would be handled via Apple. I’ve spend 3 hours going back and forth between both companies, and have not been granted a resolution. I have requested from quicken a manual override, since they received my hard-earned money. I escalated this to their customer support supervisor and was told something to the effect of “tough, contact Apple for those disputes.” I firmly let them know that since they are the 3rd party developer that handles and processes these overrides that they are essentially in violation of deceptive advertising practices. Like Dude… your website says “Money-Back-Guarantee.” I’ve had no choice but to escalate this to the FTC and have filed a complaint with the better business bureau. Never in my life have I thought that I would have to file a legal complaint against it, but if they seriously want to waste more money fighting legal challenges, doesn’t that tell you a lot about their business practices?
Needs major improvement
The auto sort into categories is poor. There is not default category for subscriptions. I spend most of my time in the app correcting the transaction category. Mint was the gold standard and that was years ago. Now you have to pay for products that don’t come anywhere near the simplicity and ease of use Mint had for free for over a decade
If they don’t have your bank on the list - it’s useless
Most of my banks are on the list, the one I use a lot unfortunately is not connected. I cannot do my budgeting or planning without understanding my spendings. I submitted the request some time ago, but there is no guarantee it would ever be added. Another option is to manually input my transactions, but then it’s no different from Excel.
Love the app!
So easy to use and I really love that cash projection feature.. something I did not have in my trusty old budget app. Not looking back. Looking forward to the planned updates. 👌😍
Waste of money
Tried it for a year. Takes way too much time to set up, constantly having to re-log into accounts. And it doesn’t do anything that a spreadsheet doesn’t do
Not consistent or easy
Don’t believe the other reviews. This program is glitchy at best and problematic at worst. Doesn’t maintain connections to accounts - constantly having to reconnect. Way too expensive for the countless issues and lack of truly valuable information. Does not recognize payments made and shows late payments. Terrible. Really.
Issues linking accounts
I’ve had issues linking accounts I wish there had been a trial so I didn’t waste money.
A Game Changer for Personal Budgeting
Until I discovered Quicken Simplifi, I had no idea personal budgeting could be this easy—or even enjoyable. The app is incredibly intuitive and makes tracking expenses feel effortless. For the first time, I actually understand where my money is going. Managing my finances with Simplifi has been one of the best New Year’s resolutions I’ve ever made. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants clear visibility and real control over their hard-earned money.
Don’t do it
It used to work fine, now accounts won’t connect. Don’t waste your money (irony is heavy here)
DO NOT BUY
After uploading five months of transactions into Quicken Simplifi, Budget, I discovered that there are no memo fields to identify transactions within the software. For instance, PayPal transactions come through as PayPal transaction. But gives you no hint in Simplifi what the transaction was for. And there is no editable field to indicate the vendor. Also, the reports are very limited in Simplifi, and you cannot print out category lists or account lists. I also just found out that there is no way to transfer transactions from simplify into quicken classic deluxe so I will have to start from scratch in order to get memo fields. I am not happy!
Decent until recently
Very long time Quicken user. Simplifi was decent until recently. I lost my connection to Venmo last year and have never been able to reconnect. Not a huge deal, just been entering the transactions manually. Now, after recent update, i can no longer connect to Robinhood. It’s been 9 days, and is a much bigger deal since i do most banking through Robinhood. I have seen multiple people posting online having same issue. Wish Quicken would take a more serious response to the issue, like sending an email addressing the problem. Quicken assist, the automated assistant is no help. Disabled accounts and tried numerous times to reconnect, but keep getting the same error… FDP -101.
