Bill application

[defyin]

Just curious if any of you are using an application to keep track of your monthly bills. Which one looks best on the NX? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! :D

Part of it depends on what desktop app you are using...

If you're using Quicken and don't want to deal with import/export on any level, you're pretty much talking Pocket Quicken

www.landware.com

I don't like PQ, so I'll let fans of it give more details if you're interested.

I personally use Ultrasoft Money with Micro$oft Money. I prefer Quicken on the desktop, but switched to MS Money because UM is SO feature rich/seamless that I do 90% of my financial stuff on my NX -- even things like reconciliation, and keeping my wife's Palm and mine up-to-date and current. All I really use the desktop for now is printing checks...

Since this is the product I use day-in / day-out I could give you more details if you wish.

www.ultrasoft.com

Ultrasoft also has a 'stand-alone' checkbook register, and I've heard great things about SplashMoney, though you do have to do some importing...

www.splashdata.com

As far as looks go, I think they all pretty much look the same...Functional, but not 'pretty'.

I have pocket quicken in the box, that I am not using, I like my checkbook for free though, and splash money and all money are good also.

Are you wanting a full-blown checkbook register like PQ, UM, and SM? If you are simply want to keep a checklist of bills, then I would recommend that you download a HandyShopper database called Bill Manager to list/check-off your monthly bills. You can download it from the HS Yahoo group.

Thank you all for the good info! I'm using Splash Money, but really just want a simple program to keep track of my monthly bills (PG&E, telephone, etc.). That HandyShopper database sounds like it's the perfect tool!

Glad to help. Of course you will also have to have HandyShopper installed on your unit, but it's freeware.

Has anyone tried this HandWallet app?

Warning: It used 1MB on my unit, and didn't launch correctly. I had to use Filez to cleanup all the junk files that it loaded. I couldn't find any documentation either.

Try MyBills....palmgear or handango...free....

NETO, MyBills isn't freeware. I looked at it before I happened onto the HandyShopper option.

Palmgear:
My Bills 4.63
Shareware $9.95

I've registered, but came to hate it quickly. It's not able to run off the card. EVERYTHING has to be in main ram. It's not hi-res either. BLECH!

Use Handyshopper. It rocks! ;)

I have MyBills, and I really like it. I registered it, and use it daily.

It was free when I got it....six months ago at palmgear.com.....sorry!!!

I looked at the latest My Bills again. I decided that it doesn't do anything that I don't already do with my HandyShopper database, so I deleted it. My Bills now has a 60 day trial.

BankBook4. Pretty stable now after some initial buggyness.
