Hi all,
I have been user for a long time of MS Money 2001 together with Ultrasoft
Money on a PalmVx. Now my Palm broke down and I bought an Ipaq with Pocket
PC 2003. Having done this, I got dissapointed, and I just want it confirmed
that Money for the Pocket PC is so far behind Ultrasoft Money as I think it
is, or hopefully get feedback that tells me that somehow I misunderstood it
all.
Things I'm lacking are e.g:
- I can not synchronize with all accounts, especially not those with
non-default currencies.
- There is no support for multiple currencies, a real flaw for a pocket
version that you are more likely to travel with than with your true PC.
- There ís no support for managing bills.
- Only those payees that are referred to in the transactions synchronized
with, are stored on the Pocket PC. Thus you might not refer to payees that
you seldom refer to, e.g. if you only synchronize transactions of the last 4
weeks. I'm have not checked, but I think the same to be valid for
categories.
- If you mistakingly enter a transaction on the pocket PC, there seems to be
no way to e..g. change the account, or delete the transaction as a way to
correct the error.
These are the ones that easily comes to my mind. There are likely others.
The last two seems to me to be real flaws, the other to be lack of
functionality.
In Ultrasoft money it is even possible to properly enter transactions that
´refers to accounts that are not synchronised with.
Have anyone seen a manual for Pocket Money. If I had seen one, I might have
bought a Palm again.
