Mint.com App Arrives Today On iPad
October 26, 2011
Mint.com, one of the most popular personal finance websites in the U.S. and Canada, arrives today on the iPad as a universal app. The free Mint.com app is available now in the App Store.
Originally launched in 2007, Mint.com was purchased by Intuit, the makers of Quicken and TurboTax, in 2009. Its primary service is to allow users to track their bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions, all without a monthly free. The Mint.com iPad app launch comes nearly two years after the original app became available for the iPhone/iPod touch. Currently, nearly seven million people use Mint.com’s web-based and mobile offerings.
We’ve had a chance to see the Mint.com app prior to today’s release. As such, we’re happy to report Intuit likely has a winner on its hands. Not only did we find the iPad app easy to use, but also the list of features available are second to none.
According to Aaron Forth, general manager of Intuit Inc.’s personal finance group:
Features include:“People send us their inspiring stories about how and why they use Mint.com, and it helped us to envision this new product. For couples reviewing their combined savings at home on the couch, or for parents teaching their kids about money, the Mint.com app for iPad lets them tap, pinch and flick, making the experience more collaborative and social.”
The universal Mint.com app is available now.
- Organize all accounts: One tap delivers a complete overview of finances, all in one place.
- Get personalized updates: New streaming delivery of account alerts, bill reminders and personalized advice helps people make smart financial decisions.
- Obtain financial insight: Pinch, tap and flick through graphs to drill into spending by category, merchant or budget.
- Sync multiple devices: Changes to one platform – on the Web browser, Mac, iPad, iPod Touch and smartphone, either iPhone or Android, automatically sync on all devices.
- Track cash spending: The app’s geo-location capabilities help people cleanly and immediately categorize cash spending, so no spending goes unaccounted for in people’s budgets.
- Review finances anywhere: No Internet? No problem. Storing data from the latest download allows easier viewing of finances, anytime, anywhere.
