Yes, I would buy it. Let us know if it ever goes to market. Kind of ironic, Iphone touts 500,000 aps, yet there are some very old aps I had with my old Windows phone that they don't have that I really miss, Pocket Quicken being one of them.

I would love to be able to pay bills online through the Quicken Register with my iPhone or iPad 2.
Wouldn't have to carry my computer when traveling.
I would guess that there would be a real market for the Quicken App.

I am VERY interested, especially if it links with my desktop Quicken. I still carry a Palm Centro with Pocket Quicken and Quicken 2010 so I can add in my purchases when I am out and about. PLEASE, please, please get this going. I keep checking the internet and there are many comments and queries of people looking for this kind of answer all over the internet. Also, people looking at android systems are asking for the same application. Email me especially if you are looking for someone to test it out.

I think the potential market for this would be big enough to get it finished and working. I'm an accountant and have been looking for something like this. Don't want my stuff on the net either.

Let me know when it's available. Would be a godsend for me.

I would buy this app!! I see this was posted quite a while ago … did you ever get to offer it as a downloadable app through iTunes? I know they have a pretty rigorous procedure when it comes to accepting or rejecting apps, but I'm burnt out looking for a finance app that will work for me–WITHOUT having to switch from Quicken to some other software.

Um, can I buy a copy of your program? lol

I'm in the same boat. Used Quicken for over 15 years and used to have Pocket Quicken on my Sony Clie. Pocket Quicken was an awesome app. I miss it.

Mmmm I also have about 15 years of data in my Quicken Desktop and also wanted a companion app for the iPhone!!!… so I am writing one… It's not perfect yet, but so far…

…you periodically download ALL your data from Quicken Desktop into a QIF file (accounts, transactions, securities) and then the app loads/processes that file and shows your balances/current securities holdings/transactions in each account… I have even got it to update stock quotes to get your true up-to-the-minute net worth… I have pretty complex accounts – about 150 current and historic ones, so use some flags in the account descriptions to indicate (CLOSED) accounts and (CURRENCY) for the many foreign holdings I have…

Now, that's step one – view ALL your data.. NEXT is going to be some way to enter new transactions on the road – probably just simple cash spending stuff to start with.. and get them BACK INTO quicken…. since recent versions of Quicken don't allow QIF import I might have to make an OFX exporter???? Not even looked into that bit yet!!

Do you guys think there is any market for such an app (pretty small interested user base I guess) – I wrote it for my own benefit and fun learning XCode – not commercial reasons… but if there is a few bucks to be made – why not??? Any comments?

For anyone who used the Palm/Treo Quicken app the iPhone has NOTHING LIKE IT. Very sad. I love my iphone, but still really miss the quicken app that sync’d to my quicken program and let me entry stuff on the road. The quicken online thing is nothing to do with your quicken program and its accounts or categories.

This is too bad. I used Quicken mobile for Palm for about 8 years on my palm pilot & then on my Treos. I used to it to keep track of what I was doing in my Quicken desktop registers without ever having to upload files to a remote online server, it would synch back and forth, whatever I noted in my palm would go into my desktop and vice versa. Everything synched at the same time thru missing synch with contacts, notes, ID’s, docs, etc. Guess I’ll have to keep lugging my Treo around to use as a makeshift palm pilot or keep my laptop handy to work in.
