PocketMoney is pretty barebones, feature-wise. If it were $12 I would probably buy it, but it costs every bit as much as Cash Organizer!!! No thank you.

So, now it's down to cash organizer and Spb I believe. Spb is lacking the one feature that I want more than anything else... a simple cleared/uncleared checkbox in the registry and edit transaction views!!! Cash Organizer has one, but once you set it to reconciled you cannot click it again to loop in back to unreconciled without editing the transaction or tapping and holding for the menu. This may seem nitpicky, but after years of using SplashMoney and going long intervals without reconciling accounts against statements, I know from experience that that little radio button can save oodles of time.

As far as syncing goes, I don't plan to sync at all. I'm sure that either one of the afforementioned apps will be more than enough for my needs without a desktop app to go with them.

Denis: I my account registries are new and largely empty. I said it before but I don't know that I said it clearly, so I'll say it again. Spb is faster to load than cash organizer, but if both are left to run in the background cash organizer pops up almost instantly if it is clicked on from the today screen plugin. Spb takes a few seconds to come up from the today plugin. The more I mess with it the more I figure it probably won't be that big of a deal, but I prefer to put an account entry in while the clerk is running my card, thus my reason for being nitpicky about a few seconds.

Ultimately, I believe I am going to end up using Spb. The layout is cleaner and IMO more intuitive than Cash Organizers. Someone from tech support told me that the cleared/uncleared checkbox was going to be implemented in a future update. I will just have to bank on it being SOON!
