AdvantagesWhy people are choosing full version of Handy Finance instead of competing programs? As they have said to us, primary reason is power and flexibility of Handy Finance combined with simplicity of use. Handy Finance really offers more analysis options, allowing easily to build financial schemes varying from most simple to quite complicated. Any task can be solved using simple and uniform commands. (You can see here what is possible to do with Handy Finance) For this purpose there are four independent, fully-configurable category lists and many other properties for financial records. All of them can be analyzed or used for search. You can track easily your money simultaneously in many currencies. No restrictions. Total flexibility. Perfect choice when travelling or living outside USA. You can assign any currency to any account, to any expense or income. Then you can easily set another currency when you need. You have not to delete account and create a new one if you want just to change its currency. You can mix records in different currencies on one account, there is no need to create separate account for each currency. You can convert total amount into any currency just in two taps. Also, you can separate records in different currencies into different views. Furthermore, you can account influence of inflation, and see the total both by current and past currency rates. Handy Finance can store and operate huge amount of financial records keeping good performance. We have a user, who had over 4000 (four thousands) records collected during a year. He used an ancient PalmVx device and Handy Finance was fine. Furthermore, there is a feature, which allows to reduce amount of records without losing an ability to analyse them by categoires and other properties. It is called Archiving. Similar records are merged into one resulting, keeping precisely your financial history. Similarity measure is fully configurable. So, above mentioned user archived his records when archiving was implemented. He reduced amount of his records from about 4000 to about 1000 without losing preciseness of his past-year financial history. There are many money management programs, offering you almost the same features. But they are paid. Probably they will be redundant to you. So, we are offering freeware lite version, which is good enough for personal use. You have not to pay for competing programs, when you can get your solution for free. (You can see here an example of using free lite version) Furthermore, there is a full version. You can continue using your previously collected data with full version. Full version is intended primarily for family and business use. However it also can be applied to more complicated personal financial management. People have found desktop program for Handy Finance to be a worth addition. (You can see here particular application of desktop program) Handy Finance desktop program is a standalone application not requiring any financial software. It is able to exchange data with Palm, view and edit records on desktop computer, make reports and save them to Excel. Tungsten T3 fullscreen (landscape/portrait), small hires fonts and 5-way navigator - all of them are supported (see screenshots). Take the maximum from the new devices. Get more info on your screen with small fonts and fullscreen support. Enjoy more convenience with 5-way navigator. DrawbacksYou can manually set any condition and see whether the budget is over or not. It is quite good to check half-dozen of budgets, but seems to be hard to check several dozens of budgets. Perhaps automatic budget checking will be implemented in next versions. No programs, like Quicken or Microsoft Money, are supported. You can't perform syncing with the existing financial software for desktop. The only way now - is to use Handy Finance Desktop, which can view, edit and analyze financial records on desktop computer. Also it is able to save any selected records to Excel. However there is QIF import and export under development now and perhaps you will be able to manually sync Handy Finance with your desktop program. No pretty icons, no skins, no sounds. Interface is text-based, but tables are well-colored. If pretty look is crucial for you, there are some other programs for your taste.
