I don't see the use in an application that only downloads transactions from your financial institutions and then guesses at what your accounts look like. I can easily have 5 transactions a day using my debit card and none of them will actually show up for at least a few days because QO only tells me the transactions that have cleared. What type of financial information is that?
What about a check that you wrote a week or two ago that hasn't posted? There's no indication of that either. QO is nothing more than a guessing game with your finances. It isn't based on fact at all. My guess is Intuit is getting paid by financial institutions because they know that we'll never actually have any clue how much money is in our accounts and so, in turn, overdraft fees will abound.
Thanks for absolutely NOTHING Intuit! You wanna do something useful, suck it up and admit you were wrong in making Quicken Online and then update your other programs and make a native iPhone application that syncs with the desktop.
Have you looked at the program? It has a facility to enter transactions at the top if you will take some time to look and learn instead of corking off at Intuit.

I agree, there is a real need for an iPhone ap that supports syncing with Quicken's desktop aps. I use Pocket Quicken on my Palm 680, but have an Apple computer, which Pocket Quicken does not support. So I bought Parallels, then Quicken Home and Business to use with Pocket Quicken. That's the ONLY reason I got Parallels (except for using Internet Explorer when Firefox, or Safari won't work on a website). I like Apple and want to go ALL Apple to avoid the inherent security problems with windows, but until some company (maybe the makers of Pocket Quicken?) comes up with a decent iPhone ap designed to be used with Quicken desktop I'll have to keep doing what I'm doing.
