Guide Review - Adarian Money Review

For under $30, Adarian Money 3.5 provides both Palm PDA and Windows applications with full synchronization between the two. Adarian Money easily competes with Pocket Quicken and SplashMoney, with the same features for tracking financial accounts, charting and budgeting. The charting is richer than Pocket Quicken’s and is in line with SplashMoney’s charts.

Adarian Money includes a flexibility: synchronize between three desktop software packages: Adarian’s own capable desktop application, Quicken 2002 through Quicken 2004, or Microsoft Money.

The Help menu on the Palm PDA is impressively set up with hyperlinks. Tap on any link to jump directly to a topic and use back, forward and home buttons just as you would to navigate a web page. Once you get really familiar with Adarian Money and you no longer need the Help function, it can be uninstalled to save memory.

Adarian Money supports small fonts so more information can be viewed at once on your Palm PDA and large fonts can be used for easier reading. Portrait and landscape modes are supported as well as screen rotation for the Tungsten T3.

Adarian Money includes extras, with a calculator accessible from almost everywhere, a mortgage calculator, and a currency converter, and beaming transactions and lists between Palm OS PDAs.
