I'm looking for a very simple, stand-alone checkbook register for the Pocket PC. And when I say simple, I mean simple. The data entry, at least, has to be simple and quick or I just won't use it, which (obviously) negates the purpose.
How simple? Well, I've got a lovely Excel spreadsheet checkbook register on my desktop where I just type in date, who to and how much. (Most of my transactions are using my debit card, so not even a check number.) Takes about a minute.
But on the ppc, because of screen size, it's just not quite as smooth - and that little bit of difference is enough to make me not enter the transaction data in the store/on the spot, which is the point of the whole thing. Yes, apparently I am that lazy. :oops:
I don't need to be able to sync with my online banking account (their day-to-day statement is never accurate, which is why I need to keep this register in the first place), I don't need any kind of bill paying features, or any budgeting capabilities. I just need to be able to keep a running balance for my checking account.
I used MS Money at one time, and didn't like it very much. I liked the look of Quicken; if it were stand-alone, I'd already be running it.
Any ideas? My bank will thank you. (Actually, they probably won't because I imagine they rather like charging those not-so-little overdrawn fees.)
