Mobile Quicken™ - Stand Alone or
Connect with a Click
Now it's easy to keep your financial
information complete, accurate and up-to-date wherever you go.
Skip the monthly receipt-typing chore by effortlessly capturing
everyday transactions directly on your handheld or Smartphone.
Pocket Quicken configures itself to
best suit your needs. If you want to use Pocket Quicken as a
stand alone finance application it can instantly set up a
standard set of categories, currencies and accounts with a
single button tap and begin to operate as your sole finance
manager.
If instead you have Quicken running
on your Macintosh or Windows computer, then it becomes a true
mobile companion and provides excellent connectivity via the
built-in Synchronization technology. Transferring data is quick
and hassle free — just press the Sync button. Pocket Quicken
makes it easy to keep your finances organized, and is the only
handheld solution to sync with Quicken 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Quick Reports Create Instant
Summaries of Your Financial Activity
With just two taps you can quickly
check how many times you've filled up at the gas station this
month or used your new credit card to make purchases at
Blockbuster in the past 90 days. These are just two examples of
how you can summarize transactions using any combination of
amount, payee, category, class, memo, account and or transaction
attribute. Once created, any QuickReport result can be further
customized and sorted by account, payee, amount and more. A
bottom line summary can display total outflows, net spending,
item count, and more.
Quickly Access Account Details
A single tap summarizes your
financial activity, including current and ending balance, credit
limit, account number and the primary contact who may be dialed
directly if the software is running on a compatible smartphone.
Your personal account list may be sorted by preferred accounts,
account names, or types, and the flexible font and display
parameters let you clearly define the appearance of the account
and register lists. There are no built-in limits to the number
of accounts you can track or the time period you can keep on
your device.
Lightning Fast Data Entry
Included are two of Quicken's most
popular time saving shortcuts: QuickFill™ and Memorized
transactions. Combining these features enable you to record
day-to-day transactions with only two strokes of the stylus.
Just start writing the Payee's name and a new transaction is
automatically created with all the details filled out. Pocket
Quicken's unique "Transaction Priority Mode" allows you to start
entering a transaction no matter where you are in the program.
Maintain and Track Your Budgets
Pocket Quicken's budget section
provides a quick and easy way to track how much has been spent
or saved within any given category. Now even while away from
home you can check where the money is going and how much you
have left. Or in the case of a savings budget, the amount to
reach a set goal is clearly identified. In addition, Pocket
Quicken can even suggest a budget amount based on prior
financial activity*. In order to determine how a budget has been
used, the program's QuickZoom feature instantly displays the
transactions that contribute to any given budget.
Scheduling Payments
Automatically scheduling payments and
deposits will help save time and serve as a portable reminder to
pay bills when they're due. The program's flexible scheduling
options allows transactions to be automatically entered weekly,
monthly, last day of month, every two months, quarterly,
annually and more. A pop-up reminder with account name, date,
amount and memo appears when a transaction is due. Options once
the scheduled time has been reached include: pay now, skip
payment or defer the entry of the payment until a more
convenient time.
Account Reconciliation
If running Pocket Quicken as a stand
alone financial manager, the program allows you to run a fully
featured reconciliation function. Even on a train, subway or
plane you can take the time to ensure that your records are in
sync with your bank's statements. Pocket Quicken even lets you
complete a reconciliation at a more convenient time, if
necessarily.
High Resolution and Landscape
Support
Pocket Quicken takes advantage of
today's high resolution screens to display a design never
previously possible. With its full support for high resolution
fonts and graphics Pocket Quicken's new streamlined interface
makes even the ugliest of finances more appealing. Pocket
Quicken is built to take full advantage of the available screen
real estate and resolution. And on large screen handhelds the
program can operate in landscape mode, so even payees with long
names, categories and memos can all be read while reviewing your
account registers.
Your Financial Data is Protected
Assigning your own private PIN number
to Pocket Quicken helps ensure that only you have access to your
financial activity. To further protect the Pocket Quicken
customer, account details are enciphered on the
handheld. And to protect against prying eyes while sitting on a
plane, one's account numbers may be kept hidden as well. If
synching with the desktop Pocket Quicken also maintains a backup
of your transactions each time you sync your handheld.
Foreign Currency Support
Foreign currencies are an integrated
part of Pocket Quicken and the program lets you seamlessly
record a hotel bill paid in Swiss Francs or gifts purchased in
New Zealand dollars while the program automatically takes care
of the currency conversion. For future reference, Pocket Quicken
conveniently places the original amount in the memo field and
any currency can be set as the home currency. The program allows
the consumer to maintain an extensive list of currencies
(including rates, symbols, shortcut keys, etc) and a currency
type can be set for each individual account.
Built-in Calculator
For those important on the fly
calculations, use the instant pop-up calculator and have the
result of the calculation automatically placed in the amount
field of your transaction.
Customize the Category and Class
Lists
Category and class lists may be
modified by adding new ones, editing existing entries, or
deleting the ones you no longer need.
