New iPhone app! Passcode, Editing, and More!

Many of us at Mint are iPhone users so we’re as excited about our new iPhone app as we hope you’ll be. Keeping things simple is especially important on a mobile device so rather than cram in 100s of new features just to tick the boxes, we focused instead on delivering the most requested features from you, our users.

Enhanced Security

While you could always lock your device with the device passcode, we heard from users that wanted to specifically safeguard the Mint.com app with its own four-digit passcode. Now you can. Hand your phone to someone else and they’ll be locked out of the app. And if someone tries to hack it, after five attempts, we’ll reset your account and delete all of your personal information. If your phone is lost, stolen or misplaced, you can deactivate iPhone access.

Editable Transactions

We’re continuing to improve the Mint.com iPhone app to make it even more useful while you are on the go. You can now edit essential transaction details such as category, tag, description, note and date.

Real-time Notifications

The Mint.com iPhone app now takes full advantage of the notification technology in iPhone OS 3.0. In addition to getting notifications via email or SMS, you can now have them “pushed” directly to your device. It’s faster and it saves you money. Notifications for when you’ve gone over budget, receive fees or experience other unusual activity are delivered securely, right when they happen.

Update your iPhone app and take advantage of the new features today.

Is this live now, or did you just submit it (ie, it will be another two weeks before we can download it)?

I welcome these changes, but I’m using my iPhone less and my Android phone considerably more.

I’d greatly appreciate either some effort put into making this stuff work on Android, or at least publishing the API specs so that others can.

Thanks a bunch Mint.com team! This was a long-awaited update, and I’m very pleased with it.

One thing I will point out – the split transaction feature is also much needed “on-the-go”. This is what we use to track cash transactions (as you know), and it would be fantastic help being able to add cash purchases on the go.

Right now, I save my ATM receipt and write down my cash purchases. Once the cash is gone, I go into the website and enter each cash transaction individually.

I’m pretty disappointed that this is the second version of an iPhone app, but there’s still zero versions of the Mint app for BlackBerry…
Come on, what’s the deal??

Well unlike all the people complaining about a version for their phone, I am very happy with the update. This is the wrong place to be commenting about a version for your phone. Post on the Mint.com support forum if you want to request something.

Thanks for the update. The passcode is long overdue. Many people will be able to take the passcode off their iPhone now. Looking forward to further updates (please don’t kill development of this app to start working on other platforms). Maybe you can add people from Intuit’s development team to build those apps.

I love the new iPhone app and mint.com in general, but please figure out a way to get faster at adding different banks that are supported by your system. Not having my primary checking and savings account supported is a major detriment in using mint.com.

need to allow us to edit the category while it’s still pending (and fresh in our head).
need to allow us to put in a transaction and match it when it comes through on the software.

It took this long for just a passcode, new graphics, push notification and editable transactions…
Though the update is better than the 1.0 version there is still alot of work to do guys. Charts would be nice (using landscape mode), ability to search transactions, maybe to even add an account.

Love the editable transactions but would really like to see splits. Also, for brokerage accounts I would rather see “movers & shakers” like you see in the mint.com overview. Question: If I categorize a transaction from company x will it keep categorizing it the same in the future or always stick with the default?

Why does passcode reset after I log out?

that means if I log out , I loose 4 digit security code which needs to be set again on next login attempt. thats too much work

Just Allow to choose one time passcode so I dont have to worry about setting it even if i log out

After having used the app on hte iPhone for a bit now, I can say it’s a tremendous improvement over the previous version — Thank you!

The ability to edit expenses (pick categories, etc.) would be really useful, though, if you could actually do splits. I can’t remember the last time I went to WalMart or Target and didn’t have to go back after the fact to do a split in Mint.
