StarFinance 2005 Review

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:00 AM



Product Category: Personal Finance Software
Manufacturer: Xphir Software
Where to Buy: Handango (affiliate link)
Price: $6.50 USD (A fully functional demo is available)
System Requirements: Requires PocketPC 2000/2002/2003/2003SE and 270K of Available RAM (An additional 150K of RAM is required for SQLCE)
Specifications: For PocketPC / PocketPC 2002: MS Compact Framework 1.0 SP2; MS SQLCE 2.0 (included in installation file); 268K of RAM for Xphir StarFinance2005. For Windows Mobile 2003: MS SQLCE 2.0 (included in installation file); 268K of RAM for Xphir StarFinance2005. StarFinance 2005 is highly recommended to be installed to main memory (not a storage card) to avoid slow performance and/or incorrect performance.

Pros:
  • Small, compact;
  • Simple, uncomplicated interface;
  • Fully functional demo version, but limited to 2 accounts and 15 transactions;
  • Ability to add categories for transactions.
Cons:
  • Other products (such as MS Money for Pocket PC) are available for less money, with more features;
  • No integration/synch/download capability from popular PC-based financial management programs (e.g. Quicken, MS Money, etc.)
Summary: While not as sophisticated or feature-rich as Spb Finance, Pocket Quicken, or MS Money for Pocket PC, StarFinance 2005 is a good, basic starter package at a reasonable price, for those who are looking to do some simple financial account management on their Pocket PC.
