5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs!, January 23, 2004

This review is from: Pocket Quicken 2.0 For Palm OS & Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) (CD-ROM)

I've been a user of Quicken for 5 years now and I'm addicted to tracking my finances through it. When I bought my Pocket PC 4 months ago, I wanted to use it to track my finances also, but it was too expensive at the retail stores. When it finally dropped a few bucks, I decided to try it. I'm mainly wanted it to track the cash I'm spending because in my business I deal with a lot of cash transactions and it's too easy to spend the cash without tracking it and it's a total pain to sit down at a computer with a pocket full of reciepts.

Just like other software, I popped in the CD followed the instructions and everything loaded onto my Pocket PC with the greatest of ease. All of my transactions (the last 3 months), account information, memorized transactions, everything. I printed off the intructions and I'm off and running. Seriously easy to use, I'm just amazed.

If you like to use Quicken, and have a Pocket PC, this software is a MUST have! I absolutely don't regret spending the money on it now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pocket Quicken does what I wanted., September 1, 2006

By 

Jon Pierre (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pocket Quicken 2.0 For Palm OS & Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) (CD-ROM)

The software was simple to install and works fine. I needed a way to maintain my checking account and Pocket Quicken fills the need. It allows me to keep up with my checking account, and several credit card accounts. At the end of the day, I always know exactly what I have spent without a lot of hassle or fuss. I simply hot sync and then open Quicken. That is all that I wanted and it supplied my need. I have had the program for about three months and have had absolutely no problems.

2.0 out of 5 stars Basic Entry - not very feature rich, February 10, 2005

By 

Book Professor (Pomona, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pocket Quicken 2.0 For Palm OS & Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) (CD-ROM)

For the price I thought I'd get more than what amounts to a basic spread-sheet program that sync's with Quicken.

Yes, when I'm spending cash, or using a CC at the store, it's great that I can enter it into the PPC and it will import it into my Quicken. But it's not stand-alone. It won't really track your portfolios. And it does not display any charts or graphs.

For $10 it's worth it, for $30 I would have rather saved the money and just entered in my reciepts when I get home.

I would suggest looking at alternatives like MS Money and SPB Finance.
