Question

Quickbooks is turning into an awful experiance

I understand the switch to a subscription model even though the old versions of this program work fine. I understand lying about how "includes up to 5 users" doesn't mean it includes 5 users. But keeping the file on one machine and having other users log in has turned into an awful experience. Multi-user mode is horrible. Quick books Pro 2010 handled this fine but now there are always the same old errors with the same old fixes. How are they unable to get this to work.

 

And as the software gets worse and worse the price goes up and up. It used to $350 one time fee. Now its $900 annual. How on earth can they raise the price so much while making the program worse and worse?

    This isn't the experience we want you to feel about the pricing in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Richard. 

     

    We're aware that this price increase has a big impact on your business. Our price increases are in line with industry standards. Like any other product, we've implemented a price change to continue developing new features and meeting your needs. 

     

    QBDT is a highly developed, robust product that has seen dozens of recent enhancements. It includes a significant performance boost (64-bit enhanced computing power), numerous time-saving automation features (Receipt/Bill entries), and security upgrades. Accountants and customers will also benefit this year from the addition of a new cash flow hub, which improves cash flow visibility by monitoring inflows and outflows in a single dashboard.

    If you are working solo on a desktop (PC or Mac) to manage your book and only need basic features, you should explore a free program. You can use the program for as long as you like, use all the features and enter as much data as required. There are no time limits, no usage limits, no ads (at this time). This program is quite popular in Asia and Europe.
