But it does work well for friendly reminders on due dates for bills, balance checks, and budgeting. Now with this update you don't even need a desktop to manage the information or to sign up for the service. However, you will also need to drop your old beat up iOS 3.x software to use it.&nbsp;</p>

I totally agree where you mention how delayed the information is. Thats the main reason why I stopped using teh service.

I may have been thinking of PageOnce...so I'm trying this again.

Yea pageonce does the same delay thing, however it does send reminders on due dates which is handy. Neither of them effectively let you know if you have a negative balance, until the next day which is too late to correct, that's one problem I have with them
