This app is not easy to use. When you link your accounts it screwes up all the numbers and when you put in all your bills you can't put in the exact amount you have to round up or down. Also the screenshots they show are wrong you cant add specif services like netflix or hulu. It's beyond inaccurate and duplicates things and tells you that you are way over budget. Better off sticking with an excel sheet vs using the app. This was a brand new install and phone and app were as up to date.
If you're okay with giving Intuit your information (if you use TurboTax then does it matter?) then it's a pretty easy, intuitive, and useful app. It does have a $1 monthly subscription to get rid of *some* (not that intrusive) ads. I just use Google Rewards and such to "pay" for this; I wouldn't personally pay directly with my card.
Pretty decent app, but still has a crippling bug after months of use. The subscriptions tab STILL does not show your subscriptions, with no way to manually add these reoccuring charges to your account. Its the entire reason I downloaded the app. Instead when you hit the "add subscription" button it just takes you to the "add bank account" section of the bills payment tab. I contacted Mint months ago regarding the issue, and they confirmed it was an error they would patch, but they still haven't.
It appears most of the graphs disappeared - I only have spending and networth. Having the other graphs for historical credit card balance, total debt, etc. were incredibly useful. They're really the only reason I'd use the app rather than check everything on a desktop. Bring back the graphs!
An update to UI ruined everything. Can't find my goals, can't set up rules for categories anymore. The web version is marginally better since you can add goals there. This was a fantastic app ruined by the UI. UI looks pretty but is impossible to work with - not user friendly at all. Extra care has been taken to hide all the features should you accidentally find them and use them. Frustrating, but almost the only app that offers what this does. Web version works, but app has just gone to hell.
I've used Mint for years. The recent change in look for the app meant I lost my favourite feature: goals, which allowed me to set up a goal like pay down my credit card balance or everymonth put money in savings/RRSP. It's also been a bit glitchy with the update. The app is still great, connects to all sorts of financial isntitutes to have complete look at financial health. Setting up a budget is easy. But I personally want a more proactive planning to my budget that Mint doesn't offer.
Overall I like the app. The only thing I've found that won't calculate correctly is the property graph. It doesn't remove properties after you delete them. Would be nice to have a manual loan entry for bank that can't be downloaded that will allow you use the liability for the offset to calculate net worth.
So as far as mint as a whole goes, I give it 4 stars. Great interface (there are some nuances with editing the mobile budget that is less than intuitive when compared to the web app), app is great for a quick snapshot. The drawback is that if you have to change your phone number, you're going to basically lose all of your data in the web app (not the mobile app though) because TurboTax owns the permissions for changing accounts. Bear that in mind when changing your contact info
From best to worst. I have used this app for years. Since the last big update the only thing I have been is frustrated. New options can't be turned off, doubling up on all transactions that are modified. With the time I spending fixing everything it would be easier and faster to just type it all old school into a spreadsheet. I will be finding another app.
I've had the Mint app for several years now, with no issues. In the beginning I was a light to moderate user and now it's my go to app on my phone's 1st page. The budgeting is great w/ all the subcategories and the ability to create your own. The same for setting goals, it sets up payments according to highest interest/finance charges being paid larger payments to the lower interest payments (minimum due). You set time of pay-off date. It's user friend I have 2 American Express, both work w/Mint
I love this, it's super helpful. A few problems though. If you have a monthly recurring bill that comes later in the month, if you do your bills at the beginning of every month, it won't appear in the new month because you recently paid it, so you can't account for it and might mess up your bills. I changed all my bills to early in the month to circumvent this, but it's annoying. I also have been getting emails for a while even though I have them turned off.
Generally a good app, but has some frustrating features. It is currently April 18th and my app hasn't loaded any of the transactions I've made since the 11th. I'm trying to budget on week old information, which is especially frustrating when these glitches fall over mid-month bill payments, which are significant. Generally speaking though, when the app runs smoothly, it is easy to use snd understand.
I have been using this app for a long time and have enjoyed the updates. A recent update has broke the effectiveness and usefulness of the app. One of my credit cards is showing the transactions as a deposit rather than a draft. This effectively eliminates any use I could have with the app.
Pretty impressive mobile experience, with the caveat that this app is very janky. Scrolling on the home page (or through other lists) is always very stuttery, i suspect there are lots of rerenders that are causing some less than ideal behavior. Edit: if y'all are using a recycler view, there's probably some issues with how many times you render. I'm all up to date, curious if you all looked into it.
I love Mint. But on the Surface Duo it doesn't render as a normal app. Instead it gives me some sort of weird tablet view. When compared to the regular Android app (or the web version) I am missing tons of features. The only positive. No ads! On version 8.32 for reference.
Right now, my app is lagging more than before. Wealthsimple trade used to work and suddenly it doesnt allow me to log in and says error. I try to add a budget and it says "oops something went wrong" and when i upgraded to ad free, it wouldnt process and keeps telling me there an error. I am disappointed in the new updates and am currently looking for a new app for budgets. I have been using mint for 4+ years.
App is cool. So many of the OAuth connections just work which is fantastic. Smart learning is recognizing transfers almost immediately or after correcting for one or two months. UI is simple and easy to navigate,/ responsive. There is an Android UI bug on the cash flow tab. Depending on what section you select ( income spending cash flow) This choice will then propagate the graph across the other two leading to incorrect average statistic calculations. Individual graphs work fine. Good job devs
Can't add cash. This app would be great if you could manually enter cash and other accounts. You can only add accounts that can be linkes to a bank or a bill, which is frustrating when your main income is cash. Fix this error and I'll redownload. EDIT: Redownload years later to try again. It's nice you can automatically add accounts, but there is STILL NO CASH INCOME OPTION. You can add it in transactions and mark it income, but it doesn't show up anywhere??? What's the point? FIX THIS ISSUE
Used to use this exclusively, but more and more they are trying to find ways to get your money. The newest is an annoying popup offering to get rid of ads for "$0.99/month". Little things like that have added up, looking for a new solution. Sorry Intuit, no more free financial data points from me.
New UI update is horrible. You somehow made it worse in every way possible. Congratulations, you played yourself. I will be switching over to a different service ASAP. P.S. I find it ironic that your main key feature is "See everything in one place", yet we now have to navigate to 50 different pages to see our info.
I still liked Mint (years and years ago) before Intuit got it and removed the ability to add future transactions - that was the most helpful feature for planning and budgeting. Biometric logins have been fixed and there's now an options to disable logins for decently long periods of time. There needs to be an option to show screen shots because some of us want to do that and you should let people do what they want with their own data.
