Ascendo Money vs Splash Money
"Before purchasing I gave Splash Money first
shot. I had read a few reviews and Crackberry had announced
"Splash Money" was finally available for the Blackberry. I
had already run through all the "Free" money manager apps and
found myself feeling like I knew why they were free.
I used it for about 5 days, and just did not like the
feel. It was slow and just felt like it was somehow not designed to
work with my Blackberry.
Ascendo Money. I figured I'd give Ascendo Money a
shot, but I have to admit I was in a bad mindset at this point. I
started to rethink my choice of going with a Blackberry, as my Pocket PC
did what I wanted, and it was effortless to find well working apps for
it.
Upon loading Ascendo Money, I immediately noticed the
feel of it agreed with me. I set up a test to ensure everything would
work as it should. (I did this with every app I tried to see how it
will work real world for me.) Everything seemed to work as it should,
including scheduled withdrawals and the PC Sync.
Now here's the clincher. CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR
ASCENDO MONEY IS TOP NOTCH! I had changed handsets and updated my OS at
the same time. The next time I tried to sync with my PC I discovered I
had lost the ability to sync Ascendo Money on my Berry to Ascendo Money
on my PC (Which usually works extremely well Btw). After trying
everything, I wrote to Ascendo Money's support explaining my
situation. Later that day, they responded, not only recommending an
upgrade, but also multiple methods of backing up my information as to
insure nothing was lost. It worked great.
A couple days later I realized the date for some of my
transactions were dating the next day. I checked everywhere thinking
there was a setting I missed or somehow the software wasn't in sync with
the date on my Blackberry. I couldn't find anything, so again I wrote
to Ascendo Money's support. This time I knew I wouldn't be hearing
from them for a few days at best since it was late on a Friday Night.
(10:47pm is what my records show). To my surprise, 19 MINUTES LATER ON
A FRIDAY NIGHT (11:06pm), a response hits my Berry! They addressed the
issue with an updated release correcting the date issue! I was left
speechless.
Something needs to be said for outstanding customer
service. I feel Ascendo Money takes their support very seriously.
That paired with a well written app is definitely a winner for me. I
have no problem paying for something that does what it advertises. I
wish I had chosen to give the pay apps a shot earlier. I have been
using Ascendo Money for the better part of a year now, and I have to say
I know it was the perfect choice for me. At the very least, give it a
try, but be prepared to purchase once you load it on your Berry.

RIMarkable - Review of Ascendo Money for BlackBerry
"Ascendo Money is a personal finance manager
type application, think Quicken or Microsoft Money, designed to run both
on your BlackBerry and your desktop. The Ascendo Money website describes
the program as “the most comprehensive money manager for BlackBerry
and PC desktops” and I believe that I would have to agree with their
assessment."
"If you are one of those BlackBerry users who
actually knows that there is a ledger at the back of your checkbook and
you keep track of what you are spending, you simply need to take a look
at Ascendo Money."
"You can set up unlimited accounts and can
enter in any recurring automatic withdrawals so that you are sure that
your accounts stay up to date. You can also import and export
information to and from other desktop PFMs that support .QIF (Quicken
Interchange Format) and .CSV files. You can create all kinds of
categories to add your transactions to allowing you to create charts and
graphs of your finances so that you can visually see where you money is
going. Synchronizing Ascendo Money for BlackBerry to your desktop is
easy. Plug your BlackBerry into your desktop via USB and tell Ascendo
Money Desktop to Synchronize."

Review of Ascendo Money Version 3 - Personal Finance Manager for
BlackBerry
"I've had the pleasure of being able to beta test
the new version of Ascendo Money for about a month now. I have to say
that I'm quite impressed with the updated version. I've had the Ascendo
Money ver. 2 ever since my first Blackberry (8100) and so I've been
using it for sometime now."
"New additions to the application are Budgets and
Reports right from the application itself. Now you can set Budgets to
all you categories, and then view your Reports on where all your money
goes."
"I believe this update has filled out what was
lacking in previous versions. Ascendo has built upon a solid product and
improved it. It's a well rounded and full featured application. If
you need a personal finance manager that handles expenses, budgets and
financial planning, I would have to give this one a thumbs up."

Ascendo Money Version 3 Released
The application is really shaping up and now has a much
nicer interface. I really like the import and export capabilities from
Quicken and MS Money.
I would highly recommend trying out the free trial to
get a feel of how the application works. The desktop portion of the
application is actually quite good and really rounds out the application.

Ascendo Money ver 3.1: Recensione (Review in Italian)
"La gestione finanziaria è uno tra gli argomenti
più delicati che si possono affrontare, riuscire a far "quadrare il
bilancio" è quasi un'arte e rimanere nei propri limiti finanziari
spesso sfugge al controllo.Ascendo Money si propone come un avanzato
manager finanziaro, altamente personalizzabile, un concreto aiuto nella
gestione finanziaria personale e non solo.Il software è composto da due
distinte unità: una applicazione per BlackBerry e una per PC.Le due
applicazioni sono perfettamente identiche e particolarmente utile la
funzione di sincronizzazione tra le due piattaforme (anche l'icona è la
stessa)."
"La versione oggetto di questa review è la nuova
Ascendo Money 3.1, che oltre a fornire i migliori strumenti per il
raggiungimento degli obiettivi finanziari, la possibilità tramite
BlackBerry di inserire dati in movimento per poi sincronizzare con PC,
permettere l'export dei dati in formato QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) o
CSV(Comma Separated Values) compatibili con Intuit Quicken e Microsoft
Money offre diverse nuove funzionalità. Vediamole insieme."

Customer Reviews

Blackberry + Budget/Finance Program = Ascendo Money |
by Matt Horvitz
from Boston, Massachusetts |
"I'm an extremely satisfied Ascendo Money
customer. I needed a program to help track and manage my finances. I did all the
research and, as a Blackberry user, there is no other program that compares.
Very easy to use with a clear interface and syncing, and provides useful metrics
and customizing options. Need to manage your money? Then buy this program."
|
The Best Available |
by John LaTessa from Springfield, Illinois |
"You won't find a better BlackBerry check register/financial manager than this. The feature set is unrivaled and it is also very simple to use at the same time. Excellent customer support
too, they'll be there to help you if you run into trouble. All in all, Ascendo Money is $30 well spent.."

Ascendo Money is my most valuable application |
by Nasiru U Muktar from Kaduna City, Nigeria |
"Ascendo Money is my most used and most cherished application. I use it to keep track of my bank accounts and cash at hand. It is so easy and handy and rich in features I am completely
satisfied with it. (At least I don't need to start searching the internet for another personal finance manager again as Ascendo meets my needs). The lock available on both the desktop and
handheld versions gives me the required confidentiality. I really recommend the software for anyone with a blackberry and more than 1 or 2 accounts to monitor.
Bravo! to the Ascendo team.

WHAT A PRODUCT! |
by Steven Hitchye from Kansas City, Mo |
"This is a awesome product. I got it because it was more detail in the transactions but it does so much more. I am learning new things everyday. You can split
transactions, create reports, set budget for each category, create charts based on your budget, the
multiple accounts you can create, i.e., credit cards, savings, and checking (All on one
screen), and how much you have spent in each category. This product turn out to be way more than I thought. I got my money's worth and then some. I HIGHLY recommend this product
for its ease of use, convenience, and the many many many features it has."

Top Notch Personal Finance Manager |
A reviewer from New
York |
"Ascendo ups the ante with the latest version
of Ascendo Money. Like the recent update to DataVault, Ascendo improved all the
areas that required updates and can now be viewed as the premier PFM on the
market. Tremendous features and Marc and the company and super responsive to
issues, etc. Highly recommend."

Exceptional
product and world class customer support |
A reviewer from
Beverly Hills, California |
"This is a
fantastic alternative to the more time-intensive Money or Quicken
programs for desktop. It utilizes the convenience of the Blackberry,
offers impressive customer support, and will save you from the
expenses of financial mismanagement. A recent addition to the new
version is a complimentary program that can be used on a desktop to
sync and download any further financial information. A good, easy to
understand format that exponentially increases the value of this
product. Nice customization features allow the user to change the
appearance and utilize a series of fun and helpful icons. Ascendo is
the clear winner in this software category with regards to
functionality, features, support, and price. Excellent. Glad I bought.
:)"

Ascendo helps me track finances |
A reviewer from
Miami, Florida |
"I use Ascendo on
my Blackberry to help me keep track of my finances. It is very easy to
use the Add Withdrawal feature to enter each expense. I created an
account called "Budget" and then I add each category of
spending as a deposit. Withdrawals are the expenses, and I can use the
filter feature to keep track of each category. It talks to my laptop
and synchronizes very well. My only complaint is that I cannot sum for
each category, and the connection with Money is somewhat awkward, but
for someone who couldn't balance her checkbook, Ascendo has been a
godsend."
|
Straightforward functions & user
friendly |
A reviewer from
Arlington, Virginia |
"Impressed, very
solid product. Well thought out by Ascendo.didn't overcomplicate the
tool and yet made it robust enough for real world use on my BB. I
bought Ascendo Money looking for a way to track multiple accounts,
transfers and (categorized) outlay on the fly. It does just that
beautifully."
|
Best Money Application Yet! |
A reviewer from
Alta Loma, California |
"I have had all
versions except 3.11 and I can't wait to try it out. From function to
CS support I give Ascendo's group A+ for their work. I am eager to use
the new desktop application - it looks sweet especially with drag and
drop. You can't beat it!"
|
Ascendo Money |
A reviewer from
Cotati, California |
"When I switched
from my Palm to a BlackBerry Pearl, one of my first concerns was how
to track my checkbook. Money solved the problem elegantly. I use a Mac
with Tiger and connect with the Money software using Bootcamp and
Windows XP. Works like a breeze. I highly recommend this software."
|
Must Have Application |
A reviewer from
Nashville, Tennessee |
"Ascendo Money
is one of my top 3 applications I gotta have on my Blackberry. It's a
beautiful thing when I have already entered my transaction before even
leaving the store following a purchase. Synchronization with the
desktop is quick and easy. If you are looking for a money tracking
application for your Blackberry (savings, checking or both), I HIGHLY
recommend Ascendo Money. You will not be disappointed. By the way, if
you encounter a problem, have a recommendation, etc., Ascendo's
customer service cannot be beat."

used
|
A reviewer from
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
|
"This software is
absolutely amazing. It is very easy to use. I mean I can keep track of
all my expenses. I love it. I'm waiting to see other software from
this company."
