Not many people are too concerned with old information that take place after a physical paper statement has been printed. This app was tested on an 8120 and it ran fine. Was not slow. This was an independent test based solely on the comparison of Jabplite and SplashMoney. User opinions may vary upon unbiased trial and usage.
