Quicken 2019 User Guide
Be aware Quicken 2019 for Mac does not function exactly the same as its Windows counterpart. In some ways, this is good, because Quicken can take advantage of features available only in Apple’s MacOS operating system. On the other hand, Quicken for Mac operates slightly different than the Windows counterpart.

Does Quicken for Mac 2019 support true multiple currencies, ***including linked transactions***, importing ***correctly*** multi-currency accounts, importing and applying correct exchange rates, from older Windows versions?
*** If not, when can we finally expect these features?
Without them, it is practically impossible to migrate to or use the Mac version. There would be far, far too many manual corrections on a 20+ year old data file and several dozens of accounts.

- edited November 2018No, it does not. It only has the most primitive of multi currency support.

RickO, can you elaborate what 'most primitive' multi-currency support means? I currently have Banktivity. I'd like to switch to Quicken for Mac, but I would need the multi-currency support to be no worse than Banktivity's. I can't find any specific info on the multi-currency features in the latest Quicken for Mac.No, it does not. It only has the most primitive of multi currency support.

Briefly, it allows designating an account as a foreign currency. But it does no automatic conversions. It does not support linked and converted transfers between accounts of different currencies. It does not include foreign currency accounts in the net worth total on the sidebar. It does not current day value conversions.No, it does not. It only has the most primitive of multi currency support.

There is much more detailed info available if you read through the link 'Add true multi-currency conversion support' that @smayer97 posted below.Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s - edited November 2018

in New to Quicken/Getting Started (Mac)
I am having just a brutal time transitioning from Q 2007 to Q 2019, worst I've had in more than 30 years as a Mac user. I've seen the videos online; these are informative but not very useful because in order to use them you have to switch back and forth from YouTube to Quicken. I would gladly pay up to $100 for a print manual that I could use.
