Mint.com for the Android
Personal accounting site Mint.com has launched its Android application today. Mint.com users can now access their personal finances on-the-go with their Android phone. Mint.com was acquired by Intuit for $170 million last fall, roughly the same time that the company announced its development of the Android application.
The app has similar features as the Mint.com app for the iPhone, including the ability to view real-time account balances, monitor transactions, compare spending activity against a monthly budget, and edit transaction details. Unlike the iPhone, you can add a Mint widget that shows total cash and debt on the home screen of the Android. The widget also lets users jump to the full application with just a tap.
The app is extremely useful to check balances before making large purchases. You can also keep track of every penny spent and watch the performance of your 401 (k), brokerage and IRA accounts. Here is a screen shot of the app for Android:
In order to use the application, users must create a free account on Mint.com. The application is designed to let users take full control over their personal finances. The Mint.com app for Android is easy-to-use and an extremely valuable money management client application. The only qualm consumers have about the app is the potential danger of including all their financial information in one app, if the phone is lost or stolen. To quiet those fears, Mint.com has added password-protection and the option of disabling access to the app from the Mint.com website immediately.
