Android App Review by AndroidAppsReview.com
When it comes to personal accounting, there are a plethora of apps in the Play Store that provide robust tools with a variety of strengths for managing your finances. The challenge comes when all you want is a simple way to bring it all together.
Enter Mint from developer Intuit Inc.
Mint: Budget, Bills, Finance & Tax Refund Tracker is a well designed comprehensive free personal finance app that presents you with an easy way to get your arms around the day-to-day aspects of your finances.
Concept and Functionality
Mint at first glance looks about as unintimidating as you can imagine. Your financial and bank accounts all in one place.
You can see your credit balances and transactions with just one tap. You wind up with a more complete picture of your financial health by using one app for it all: monthly expenses, account balances, how you spend your money, the status of your credit score, your overall net worth, and more.
By using Mint you can easily bridge your cash, credit cards, loans, investments, and more into an overarching view.
What we really like about the app is how it makes you so aware of your overall budget giving you the ability to make every dollar count. Get a smart budget based on your spending on day one.
Mint provides budgeting tips & advice to help you save for your goals. We’ll work with you to budget better and create ones that are effective. Plus, keep tabs on your balances with our budget tracker.
Features
One of the most interesting features of Mint is you can so easily track your IRS refund. Since Mint is from Intuit, it is tightly integrated with TurboTax. It’s not required that you use TurboTax, but we’d be lying if we didn’t admit it does make life easy.
Because you can see your bills alongside your account balances, you can totally get your arms around your monthly financial scene. The bill tracker makes it easy to manage your recurring expenses, helping you keep tabs on debt.
You can even get monthly bill reminders so you can put an end to late fees. Plus, expense tracking can help you reach your goals sooner.
You can also export your ledger to a CSV file, then use that file to do more analysis, print it out for an expense report, or add it to a different budget tracker. A feature missing from this app, however, is the ability to enter in income as well as expenditures. Without that you can, of course, still keep track of your expenses but adding that one feature would turn this into a much more robust personal finance management app.
Overall Value
As an overall personal finance app, Mint presents a simple, clean interface with tons of power underneath for those when you want more control of just need to know more about your money.
Mint requires Android 5.0+.
