Runs on: Psion Revo, Revo Plus, Series 5, Series 5mx, Series 7, netBook, Ericsson MC218, Diamond Mako, Geofox Languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Italian | See also: Free demo, Upgrades, Ordering, Independent reviews, Awards, Series 3a/3c/3mx Money makes it easy to manage your finances. It allows you to enter transactions on the spot. It predicts your bank and credit card statements. It allows you to budget your expenses. It always tells you exactly what your current situation is, and forecasts what it will be in the future. It will keep track of money you've lent and borrowed. In fact, it will keep track of just about everything.

"I've been looking for something like this for years! An amazing
bit of software, why can't everything be this easy to use?"

Money is very easy to use. On the Series 3a and 3c, 60,000 people have already discovered exactly how easy. Although Money won't bother you with terms like "debit" and "credit" (unless you really want to), it is in fact widely used to run true business administrations, since Money handles double-entry bookkeeping, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, VAT management, and balance analysis without problem. It will import your old Psion Money files, of course. It will also import and export many other formats, including QIF (used by Quicken and Microsoft Money).

| Your accounts

This view shows your current situation: all the things you own or owe. Here, you'll find your bank and savings accounts, your cash, and your credit cards. You may also find other assets and liabilities, such as money that people owe you, stock portfolios, VAT reservations etc.

| Categorise and budget your expenses

The next tab summarises your income and expenses. Note how Money allows you to categorise your transactions, providing insight into what you've spent or earned.

An extra benefit of categorization is that you can attach budgets to a category, and compare what you have spent on, say, clothes with what you were planning to spend.

| Transaction books

For any account, and any category, you can view the book, listing all relevant financial transactions. For your bank account, this book should match your bank statements. For a category, it will lists all the transactions that you categorised there.

| Reports and Graphs

Money offers many, many reporting options and many, many graphs, providing further insight into your finances.

Example report 1 - cash position over time (graph)

Example report 2 - net worth report (text)

Example report 3 - Expenses, categorised into a bar graph

| Friendly and intuitive

Money is very intuitive to use, and is highly configurable. This means much more than using the fonts and styles you like, using the touch screen as easily as the keyboard, or having a left-handed toolbar. It means that if you encounter a concept that you don’t care about (say, VAT), simply spend a minute on the "preferences" page and you will never again be bothered by menu options, warnings or queries having to do with VAT management. If, on the other hand, you are interested in manual verification and reconciliation of bank statements, or if foreign currency exchange rate losses are part of everyday life, you can just as easily enable Money’s intuitive systems for supporting this.

Example: using text rather than icons on the accounts page,
using single-column display for the amounts, brackets for negatives,
having disabled transaction scheduling, and using a left-handed toolbar

| Independent reviews

- "Money packs a lot into it's smooth interface. It is also a fast program, easy to use, very optimised which a commercial program should also be. The interface is well thought through, powerful without being overwhelming. Overall, Money has to take the prize. It's one program that manages to justify its high price by being both intuitive and powerful."
  - Delusional, Psionstyle
- "Financial software is something very important to palmtop users, especially Psion users. Money from TomTom BV has been a front-runner in this genre. From the splash screen to upgrading Palmtop BV shows that this is a well thought out and professionally produced product."
  - Tucows
- "This is a superb application, programmed with a great deal of thought. It is exceedingly powerful, but much of that power can be turned off until you need it. If you find that the Shareware applications don't satisfy your banking needs, and you're prepared to spend the asking price, then Money is a stunning tool for tracking what you do with your money, whether you are an individual or a small company. Money sets the standard for this very popular class of applications on EPOC machines, and is highly recommended."
  - John Woodthorpe, Armlink
- "The graphical interface is exceptional, the layout is clean and uncluttered, but aesthetically pleasing as well. Money wonderfully blends these powerful options and clean interface to bring about the most versatile representation of the data you enter. All in all I am extremely impressed. Especially with the help file, not only did it explain the hows, but also the whys of the program. I am also impressed with the power with which manipulation of data is allowed. Moreover, speed is very good."
  - David Nalley, Epoc Journal
