Question

FORCED subscriptions?

So I got the notification today that I will no longer be able to download bank data.

 

So is there still the option to manually import the web data file, or have you just disabled the entire feature?  I can't imagine that this will be a popular move for any of your customer base...I know that I'm planning to downgrade to an earlier version of quickbooks (back as far as I have to go to find a version that you can't go in and disable), but I thought I would ask.  

 

If  I sold a customer a car in 2018, but 2 years later went to their house, yanked out the engine, and left a note saying "Thank you for being a loyal customer.  We have removed the engine to your car because I want you to buy a new car.  Now here's the GREAT thing, we no longer SELL cars, you have to rent the new car from us. It's a REALLY GOOD thing that you have to pay me every month.  Paying me every month will keep me from doing things like, for example, removing the engine from the car you already owned."

    I wonder if there is a lawsuit against QuickBooks because of forced subscription. I would definitely join.

      I have been a Quickbooks desktop user for over 25 years. I feel like Intuit pulled one over on me with the 2021 pro purchase. I don't use many things in quickbooks and was quite happy with desktop service. I had control.
      Then I was locked out of my QB until I paid a $549 subscription. I don't need or want most of the things in the subscription. Shame on Intuit for being so sneaky. The worst is that they give you no control over what you are subscribing for. Then they keep pushing quickbooks online, which has always been lacking for my needs. I encountered an issue in January 2023 (one month after paying for the forced subscription. The issue cause a great deal of problems for my small business and has taken 2 months for intuit to fix the issue. Customer service was a nightmare during the process and I had to spend a lot of time and energy to come up with a work around. But hey, Intuit got their money so what do they care?

      Intuit, if you actually care, I don't want a subscription. I want a desktop version that I can use my way without interference from you.
