Mastersoft Money Updated To Version 5
If you like to keep track of your personal finances on your Pocket PC, Mastersoft Mobile Solutions has just released an update of their award-winning financial application, Mastersoft Money.
"Mastersoft Money V5 is an easy to use all in one personal finance manager. It allows you to run all your finances from your handheld. Get your finances in order now for the price of a single bounced check fee! Featuring 3d graphs, charts, icons and an amazingly simple to use interface, Mastersoft Money was first with the features that you can now find in competing products."
I've never been very good at managing my money; in fact, I still have trouble remembering the difference between a debit and a credit. But, if you like to keep careful track of your personal finances, this is a product worth looking at. It is loaded with features, and can exchange data with both Microsoft Money and Quicken. This also means that you should be able to easily download your financial information from your bank's Internet banking Web site to this application.
But don't take my word for it. Go grab the demo or buy the full version for only $29.95 at the Handango site. And when you're done, you can help me figure out my debit/credit confusion!

I had version 4.14. Was to slow. Really slow. In fact, so slow that it was useless. Now i use webis money, wich is not full featured, but at least, pretty fast.

If you ever get the chance to try out this newer version, it would be great to know how it compares with the one you used.

This is the one program that forced me into a hard reset as it was so unstable when they gave it away free. The cost to me was too high and I will never go back....

That's the exact problem I had with it. It just dragged...

Personally, I think the best financial application on the Pocket PC is Cash Organizer. It has the ability to sync with Microsoft Money (which it does flawlessly), it is fast, and is constantly being improved. It has more features than I could ever really need, and does not require that bullcrap QIF import to syncrhronize data. I just do not see the value of a financial application on the Pocket PC that does not sync with the desktop. To me, that is utterly useless.

Hi there,
You really need 624 Mhz as stated in the help and also in the product description. .NET is fairly new and a bit sluggish on older machines. It also required hard resets on some older machines but again as a Microsoft issue we had no control over this. Anyhow it flies on my new 624 Mhz PPC. As for comparing it with other faster titles ... just try importing and exporting with them - they're faster but the results are completely wrong - something which is unacceptable when doing your finances IMHO.
All the best,
Dom

it seems to me that it does not have anyway to download the information (sync) with your bank account so basically you need a desktop program (quicken) to do that.
am I wrong?
what program in my PPC I can use so I don't have to use my desktop pc any more for this task? Is there anyone that allows you to do the same thing you do with Quicken or Money in your PC but in your PPC?

To have a mirror. I would like to have in my PPC a mirrow of what I have in my PC without having to sync both. That means, I would like to see a ppc software working in the same way than the PC version does, going to banks and sync from my bank accounts.

Hi there,
This version has wireless features since we feel that is the way the market is headed and love the idea of including wireless financial data. If you have a wireless Pocket PC you can get your bank data straight to your device. However, it is not designed to be linked to a desktop as such but is more of a standalone product to help you ditch the desktop. Once .NET speeds up on the Pocket PC we'll bring back desktop Mastersoft Money which will be absolutely identical except for screen resolution etc. Certainly if you need desktop synching of your desktop money app then this might not be best for you.
