User Reviews for Mint: (from Google Play)

“App works great and the new tablet features are awesome! Best financial app, no doubt.”

“Love this app very simple to use and shows things in detail…. I love it on my PC but on my tablet it could use some improvement like adding the bill payment alerts adding a category for income other types of loans. I also tried to add an account and couldn’t do it. I had to do it on my PC. It also closes unexpectedly some times.”

Final Analysis:

We keep going back to this point on this blog; we love apps that advertise a function and do it near flawlessly, especially if that app is FREE. Android has a lot of Finance and Money apps in its coffers but as far as “FREE”, Mint takes the cake.   Does the app have hang-ups? Sure it does, but those are constantly being worked out by the developer.  It’s free and works great 99% of the time.  Great app for Android devices and your desktop.
