Mint.com iPhone App: Putting Money in your Pocket in Time for the Holidays

I just wanted to say thanks. This iPhone app is amazing and the interface fits in great with the other applications. Mint is a great service and finally having access on my phone is liberating. Great job!

Friggin’ awesome guys! Thanks a lot for getting this done, been wanting it for quite a while now.

I do have a couple of suggestions for the app. The main overview screen feels pretty cramped currently, mainly due to the “Accounts” section on top. The dollar amounts in there (Cash and Credit Debt) have nearly zero white space around them which makes it fairly painful to look at. I’m probably a bit picky over details though being a Mac and iPhone interface designer myself.

The other thing I really, really wish was included is the interactive “Where you spend” chart from the website. You have the same information in the “Cash flow” section of the app but it’s not nearly as visually intuitive as the pie chart. There’s also no way to look at the sub-catagories like you can when clicking on a slice of the pie chart on the site. The iPhone is all about “quick and easy” and I think the interactive pie chart would be a huge boon in this.

I don’t want to sound like I’m all complaints though! I know how hard it is to get a new app together like this and make it great. You’ve done a wonderful job so far and I hope the future updates make it that much better!

Any chance of an Android application being developed, or any resources you’d recommend for the open source community to develop one?

So glad to see this app! One thing I would suggest is the ability to hide accounts from the iPhone app, say if you didn’t want people to see your savings account or investments or if you have multiple accounts and you only want to use the iPhone to keep track of your credit card or checking.

Great… now if only there was an Android version.

Android will take one please. Love your service and would love to see it on my G1.

Great app! It would be great for it to save my e-mail address (but NOT password)… much easier to log in that way. Alternatively, I’d love to be able to set up a passcode, sort of like 1password or other secure apps. (Note: I don’t want the phone-wide passcode – mostly I don’t need it. Just for the Mint app.)

This is amazing!! Mint is blowing quicken out of the water! I hope you guys Make an app for Android!

One more for Android. Looks cool, but you know those t-mobile plans are cheaper — perfect for the mint user.

Congrats on your iPhone launch. I would like to add my voice to the android request. Or even better an open API?

It’s great that you are getting to our mobile devices… any chance you are working on something for the BlackBerry?

Thanks again for a great app and responsive/ingenious development team!!

At least please support version 2.1 and 2.2. Why limit the install only to 2.2…not everyone is running iPhone 2.2 =(

It says
“Not Compatible
This application is not compatible with this iPhone”

nice one mint. please release an update that fixes this error.

Great! So where do we vote for a Blackberry application?

Register another vote for a Blackberry app, that would make the site much more useful!

That’s what is awesome about Android don’t have to jail break the the phone. So looks like if you want mint your going to have to jail break it again when you get your 2.2 version. Mint is on top of there game… Give them big time props.

iPhone 2.1 version compatibility, PLEASE!!

+1 for the 2.1 support if feasible

For all those that have 2.1, can’t you sync w/ iTunes and upgrade to 2.2 easily (it should prompt you to update to 2.2)? Then the Mint app should work.

Yes, please take care of us blackberry folks.

+1 for Blackberry Storm.

Thanks for the great service, I love it.

Let’s all stop complaining so much. Let’s remember that Mint is a free service.

+1 vote for an Android version.

@Stephen: Going by the number of your current users that also use Android is looking at things backwards. It’s just the opposite — putting this app on the Android Market would drive a ton of new customers to you.

Wonderful app! I have a suggestion: it’s a bit of a pain to type in my login and password every time and I don’t want to stay logged in as I sometimes hand my iPhone to friends to play around with.
What would be nice is if the Mint iPhone app could have its own 4 digit PIN code (or use the iPhone’s 4 digit PIN – that could work too).

That adds a layer of security and simplicity for the user!

One more thing,

For those of you wondering “Why the iPhone before the Blackbery”, Apple’s APIs are pretty wide open and they supply a lot of useful tools.

Rim on the other hand is a bit more stingy with their 3rd part development tools, which makes it difficult for another company to make a really nice product for the Blackberry.

TLDR: Apple makes it a lot easier to write apps for the iPhone compared to the Blackberry.

@Robert: And Android’s APIs are even more open.
