Annoying up selling during preparation

Generally the software is easy to use and works well. I've used it for several years now. It's very annoying early in each return preparation, they try to get you to upgrade to a more expensive package.
I’ve used HRB for Macintosh for 15 years now. It gives me all I need to do my taxes at an economical price. Only problem was this year trying to submit both the federal and state; the program quit three times when I hit submit. Tried separating them but got the same results. Now I’m sending them in manually. My system is only a year old and the OS is up to date.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I switched to HRBlock a few years ago because their competitor stopped supporting my old Apple iMac computer. HRBlock seems to work as well as the competitor, other than crashing frequency, and it it less than half of the price. For example, after the 3/3/2023 update, HRBlock crashed when I clicked the 'Skip' button on the Start State return page. Just remember to save your return frequently. (Yes - I update the application when updates become available.)
We love using this program. The only problem we had was it kept telling us our driver license numbers did not match on federal and state returns. They did. I kept reentering the numbers thinking I did something wrong. There was another number error we had...but we were correct again. Despite the program telling us the return wouldn't be accepted I still e-filed. Both returns were accepted.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
