Summary: Small font and poor customer support
Comment: My install had a lot of hiccups and customer support was no help. They said they would let me know if there was an update available--never happened. I just donated it. I also didn't like the small font.

Summary: Pocket Quicken vs. Handmark's PocketMoney
Comment: I have been a long-time user of Handmark's PocketMoney, and recently tried a 14-day trial of Pocket Quicken.

As you might expect, each program has it's strengths and weaknesses.

While PocketMoney has a nicer, icon-based account list, Pocket Quicken seems a little cluttered, with awkward rounded and square "buttons" to switch between account list and register. I also thought PocketMoney had a more natural method of entering data - more like Quicken.

So, if I like PocketMoney so well, why am I giving Pocket Quicken a 5-star rating? It all comes down to the conduits - how the information transfers between your desktop and PDA. Pocket Quicken wins, hands down. PocketMoney requires a manual export procedure, where you have to designate a particular file directory. It doesn't always work all that well, even if you are an experienced computer user. If you are a novice, well, it's just too much trouble.

Pocket Quicken's strengths more than make up for its weaknesses. It works so naturally with your desktop version of Quicken that every Hotsynch keeps both your PC and your PDA current. Compare the free trials of both versions, and I am convinced you will also come to the conclusion that Pocket Quicken is the best personal accounting software for your PDA.

Summary: Accounting Synergy!
Comment: I am in awe of this product. It is used with a Palm Zire 71 and synchs with Quicken 2002 on a laptop using Windows ME. It performed so flawlessly after I downloaded and used the trial copy that I wasted no time ordering the full version (Amazon.com, of course). For its intended mobile purpose, I find no reason to fault this program.
Anyone requiring on-the-go data gathering with simple and accurate transfer would do well to try it.

Summary: Good product- reliable, convenient, integrates with desktop
Comment: I've been a Quicken user for years, and Pocket Quicken on my Palm m125 has been a real help. I keep track of debit card purchases easily (and am beginning to record cash purchases as well). It synchs reliably and easily to my laptop. (I synch my Palm to 3 different hosts - laptop for my regular Quicken, home desktop for Documents-to-Go and work desktop for calendar and address books. The Palm synch program keeps all of this straight.)

One problem- on a split transaction, I can't add a memo.

Security- has password.

Summary: Pocket Quicken 2.0
Comment: This product works great with the PC version of Quicken. Pocket Quicken has virtually replaced my checkbook register. I keep track of all of my accounts on the go. I am able to update my gasoline charge accounts, my purchases from my checking account, savings account transactions, credit card purchases, and changes to any other quicken account, as they happen. This is a great tool for maintaining financial control.


Editorial Reviews:

Pocket Quicken puts all your financial activity at your fingertips, making it easy to keep your Quicken information complete, accurate, and up-to-date wherever you go. Effortless data entry coupled with instant access to account balances, transactions, credit limits, budgets, and more adds up to financial clarity in the palm of your hand.

Your mobile Quicken companion lets you skip the monthly chore of receipt-typing by effortlessly capturing everyday transactions directly on your Palm OS handheld. Important account information, such as contact names and numbers, current and ending balances, as well as individual transactions, are automatically transferred from the desktop. Pocket Quicken is a true mobile companion to the Quicken desktop product and provides excellent connectivity via Palm's built-in HotSync technology. There is no double entry and you can always keep your accounts up-to-date. Transferring data is quick and hassle-free.

Pocket Quicken makes it easy to keep your finances organized. With a single tap of the HotSync button your Quicken categories and groups are transferred to the organizer. Use your Palm OS handheld to effortlessly capture checking, credit card, and cash transactions while you are on the go. Included are two of Quicken's most popular timesaving shortcuts: QuickFill and Memorized transactions. Combined, these features enable you to record day-to-day transactions with only two strokes of the stylus. Just start writing the payee's name and a new transaction is automatically created with all the details filled in.
