Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Nice looking site, if you can logon

Mint was fairly easy to setup, although getting it linked to my bank accounts took some time. It doesn't always recognize transactions properly. It still categorizes our mortgage payment as a "Large Purchase." One week ago, the site stopped recognizing my email address, and their technical support couldn't provide a timeline or even the certainty of a resolution: "I will forward your concern to our Engineering team for further investigation, if they can find ways to retrieve your mint account..."


Good app, small things will make it a favorite.

The website is definitely my go to tracker for finances, and it is nice to have that info on the go. but things that have already been mentioned, like a pin code, and graphs, would make this a great stand alone app. I must say i definitely recommend the site and am sure the app will catch up sooner than later.


Almost a great app

I love Mint.com. It is a fantastic way to manage your money and is a part of any great marriage, pie charts are much easier to discuss than spreadsheets or balance sheets! Since Mint is totally web based and is so functional and dynamic, I thought this app would kill. But there are no pie charts, and the views are limited. It is a good app, but it doesn't do service to the website. However, it is light years ahead of the bank apps. I hope to see an update that impresses the way the website did. Ditto on the pin code moj027, I hate to let friends play with my iPhone and i don't want to log in and out all of the time.


It's the little things

I really like mint.com, and this app is a perfect companion. however, the lack of a simple pin code security barrier when starting the app makes it so that i'm unwilling to keep it on my phone. they suggest turning on a pin code for the entire phone, which is simply lazy on their part. quickbooks app does this very well, but i don't like their product as much. as soon as the security lock is in the product, i'll re-install.
