For a  couple years, Intuit has been receiving negative feedbacks from its customers because the company became slow in adapting Quicken 2007 to Intel Macs. This leads to problems as a result of which OS X Lion had to remove the Rosetta compatibility system, which was effective in allowing Power PC-based apps to run. Thereby, the company was under the sheer pressure of updating the software.

 With above listed new and improved features and a much more user friendly interface, Quicken 2015 is sure to become a better personal finance management tool for Mac users and continue being the leading personal finance software. Using this new app, users can take control of their money and can understand the spending in a better way so that they can make smarter financial decisions in future. Intuit has made this new version available for $75 in Mac App Store and Amazon. However, from October 2014 onwards, it will be available for sale on retail locations also.
