There’s definitely not a shortage of finance apps on the App Store, and the Mint.com app has been lagging for quite a while. I’ve always given them some slack since their web features seem to grow by the minute, but I’ve always wanted the iPhone app to be more. Now it is.
Finally one of the most needed features has been implemented, and that’s categories. You can now drill down on the individual transactions and set its category, tags, and give it notes. And for those heavy Mint users with lots of budgets, you now have push notifications to alert you of over spending on budgets.
You can now also protect your information by locking the app with a passcode; a feature I’m sure will be quite popular.
The design has pretty much remained the same, witch is fine, the only beef I have with the app is that it doesn’t do enough. I wanna be able to get some of the functionality I get on the web, like trends, graphs, compare spending per month/year, and much more. For now, the only thing I really use the Mint iPhone app is to check my bank balance.
