I really want the functionality of LandWare's Pocket Quicken - one-touch sync with the desktop version of quicken. To encourage LandWare to develop PQ for the iPhone I started a petition at:

If they just want to know how much money is in their account, they could just check their bank account online...credit/debit/electronic payments show up instantly these days. It's about categorizing, budgeting and tracking...I have the desktop app. Do they really think I'm gonna shell out a monthly fee to have to access this info as a web app and make my desktop app useless? That would be financial irresponsibility. I'll just save my receipts and use my desktop app, while I keep researching for better alternatives.

Monthly fee to see how much money they can suck from us...They would already have buying habit information that would be extremely valuable as a marketing knowledge tool. They could occasionally link a purchase to a comparative questionaire, etc. but they want me to pay them for this?

I have been using MS SBA for my accounting software, I decided for some reason to pay $400 for quickbooks but they are unable to convert my SBA file to Quickbooks. I think I am just gonna go back to SBA.

Personally, I keep a pretty close eye on my finances and would love to have an iPhone app that kept up with my desktop version, so I could keep it more up-to-date. The assumption that only the financially-irresponsible would be interested in an iPhone app is a HUGE mistake.

You're right, my phrasing was a bit sloppy there. I'll fix.

I don't really agree with that, for the reasons mentioned in the post.

Intuit needs to release an iPhone app that syncs with the desktop version of Quicken for Mac or PC.

Would help if you read your own reports: your earlier report on iphone usage reported that ".. user growth was highest" among people making $25-50K and NOT that iphone ownership is highest in that range.

Using Quicken with the I-Phone is certainly an attempt to manages one’s finances. It’s certainly better than keeping the checkbook balance in your head or basing your financial decisions based on the bank balance rather than the checkbook balance. Conceptually I disagree with the statement that using Quicken with the I-Phone is designed for someone who is not “financially responsible” as the article so indicates. It’s the first step in managing ones finances.

"paycheck-to-paycheck" users <> iPhone owners.
