It may not be a slick new version or even the promised OS X Lion-friendly update to Quicken, but publisher Intuit is staking out its place on the Mac App Store by bringing the current version 1.7 of Quicken Essentials to Apple’s favorite marketplace.
Intuit, Inc. released Quicken Essentials 1.7 to the Mac App Store late last week, making it the latest familiar software publisher to give Cupertino’s virtual store a bear hug. The company is quick to point out that existing users shouldn’t rush to drop their $49.99, however, noting this “is not a new release of Quicken Essentials for Mac.”
“Quicken Essentials for Mac, a basic starter edition, helps you manage all of your personal finance in one place, so you can see where you’re spending and where you can save,” the product description explains. “Quicken automatically categorizes your financial transactions, stay on top of bills and helps you set goals so you can save more.”
The release isn’t the first time Intuit has offered software on the Mac App Store. Last year, the company served up a free TurboTax Refund Calculator prior to tax time to help get a rough estimate of users’ potential refunds.
Quicken Essentials for Mac 1.7 is a 20.2MB download compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later, and its presence on the Mac App Store is a good indication the company will not only make good on their promise to soon introduce an Intel-native version of the full Quicken for OS X Lion users, but also continue to serve up future versions of Quicken Essentials via the Mac App Store.
