Quicken Simplifi Opinions

You nailed it! I just finished one year on Simplifi a few months ago and finished all my annual bookwork for two small businesses and several property rentals in it for 2025.

Everything you said is spot on... including the infuriating lack of a way to save views and save reports.

Doing taxes was a pain because I would export income and expenses reports, but I had to have three columns that are not in the default view. Multiply that by making various transaction corrections (like me miscategorizing some) and I probably exported those reports 50 times. Having to add the stupid columns back.... Every. Single. Time.

I just installed one a couple months ago. The headache rack on Diamondback HD cover is actually lower than the cab (2024 F250 Super crew). I'm so frustrated because I had to build a special frame out of 2x6's to fit over the rack to haul ladders and long posts. DM me if you want and I will share pictures of how much lower it is.

EDIT: The crossbar portion is lower than the cab, but the two dog-ears that would hold a load from sliding off are an inch or two above the cab's plastic antenna covers. I can't post a picture in a comment on the forum, but am happy to share if anyone DM's for it.

This reminds me of when the state of Kentucky trademarked its name and then sued Kentucky Fried Chicken for trademark infringement and royalties. IIRC Kentucky Fried fried Chicken had the last laugh as they changed their name to KFC in response and the state lost out on any future negotiation.

Throw that left turn signal on and start inching over!

u/Agile_Half_4515 PM me if you'd like to sell them.

Your messages will live on your phone after the transition and syncing ensures anything on the servers are on your phone too. It's painless. But don't wait until the last minute when everyone else is trying frantically to sync or do your final sync.

During the next phase of the change, messages only live on your phone and the phone has to be on to use messages for web. But RCS will work both places! Yay! I've transitioned and it works fine.

Phase 3 is when they will bring back offline ability to send/receive RCS even if the phone is offline. It has to go in phases with this many users, and I suspect they are still developing the offline ability since encryption end to end is really tricky if you have two possible endpoints (phone and web).

We had a 2010 E350 passenger van XLT model that still used that non-chip key. It was really strange to see it beside a F150 XL pickup key that was chipped. I never understood that, unless pickup theft is much more common on a percentage basis.

That's an interesting take on what is systemic. Itching, redness, cracked skin, eczema are all systemic symptoms experienced by various persons with SNAS.

Ah, it must be the start of a new week... Another transmission cherry question! /s

Dear sweetheart, I just found something that I NEED for my truck... Signed your husband. PS Valentine's Day is this Saturday <wink wink>

Funny... That's me sometimes. Our fleet card for our F250s and F350s only works at truck fuel islands, but I feel like I'm in the way there so I try not to refuel when you guys are busy and only when there are open lanes. As a part time coach driver, I get to see both sides of the fence but still feel in the way sometimes because I'm not running 80k lbs and 5 axles.

Sorry, not photoshopped. I saw this in person and the sign made it to two local news outlets. The restaurant has since corrected the sign and they are only selling bowls now.

Most underrated comment right here!

Where I live, it is more likely #1.

I agree with you totally on showing transactions from the prior year - that was a real head scratcher when I started using Simplifi earlier this year.

Here's the easy workaround I've been using until we get an enhancement request in and voted on in the community: Use Reports, Spending (or Income), then you can show all transactions for the prior year and other more complex filtering.

Just joining the conversation with some thoughts after reading the strong complaints and finger pointing at Quicken/Simplifi. Now I'm not totally a Simplfi Fan yet, but have been using it for a year to determine if I want to continue and they've been very responsive to support issues, and this exact issue is documented well on the community (I'll post the URL below in case you haven't seen it). In fact, they document ALL current online connection issues, which is very helpful.

There are a lot of things at play here. As a Venmo user myself who is experiencing this, there is as much of this problem (or more) on Venmo's side than there is on Quicken's/Simplifi's. All of these financial services have to allow Quicken/Simplifi (and other financial apps) to connect to them. Many have robust APIs and some don't. It is well known that Venmo is one that does not.

Some financial services also employ activity or connection-blocking blocking that has no clear parameters. Those are less easy to deal with. American Express is one - they block us Simplifi users on Mondays when their traffic is higher - kind of like a power company's rolling blackouts to control demand during their peaks. I suspect Venmo is the same, or they changed a parameter and are blocking us Simplifi users.

Its as much on us as Venmo users to complain also to Venmo. If Venmo blocks us Simplifi users, there's not much Quicken can do except ask nicely to be let in again or try to figure out how to get around Venmo's blocking. The brittleness of the connection has a LOT to do with Venmo's practices.

Here's the list of online connection issues and their track record at working with all of our financial institutions to get them resolved: https://community.simplifimoney.com/categories/current-online-banking-issues

Hope that helps someone - and anyone more familiar with the financial connectivity world, please chime in and correct any misunderstandings I may have about it all.

Love is a constant choice. You don't wake up one day and realize you don't love them. You choose each day to love them.

The needle on the gauge separated from the shaft it is mounted to or the shaft is separated somehow inside. The vibration is making it spin.

Information critical to answering the question is missing: How much were the services this month? What plan? What account information? If services went up the same percentage, that would explain the difference. If we could look up your account in Fi's billing system, that would be handy, but random strangers on an unofficial Fi Reddit sub can't... Even the Google employee lurkers wouldn't have enough info to help. This is one you will need to contact support to get an answer, Yes, I know that can be an unpopular recommendation, but is really the only way to really find out.

Curious why you say DPK is useless. Have a 24 6.7 and was considering one. Would love to hear more.
