I'd like to hear from others that don't want to ever switch to the online version of Quickbooks.

Given the huge increases in pricing that will be coming in 2024 it appears that Intuit is trying to financially motivate users to go to the online version.

I, like many other Quickbooks users, DO NOT WANT THE DESKTOP VERSION OF QUICKBOOKS TO BE DISCONTINUED. There are many reasons why Desktop users do not want to use an online version.

1) In bush Alaska and rural America internet is still spotty and unreliable. NONE OF MY ALASKA ACCOUNTING CLIENTS CAN SAFELY USE THE ONLINE VERSION as they are all in the bush. Bush Alaska can only be reached by small airplane, boat, snow machine (snowmobile for you lower 48er's) and ATV.

2) Many users just don't want all of their financial data online since it can never be guaranteed to be safe from hacking.   Some of these users will only connect to online to verify their subscriptions and then disconnect from the internet.

3) Many users I visited during 2015-2019 (I conducted about 100 audits in Alaska during this time) had switched to online and absolutely hated the online version. Many also eventually switched back to Desktop.

FYI ... those of use who want the Desktop version to continue just want to be heard.
