I know for sure, we can’t stay far away from finance activity, right? But now we can “hire” a personal finance manager to handle such activity: Mint.com application, a new and free iPhone application. Seems this app is worth trying.

This application lets you check balances, budgets, transactions, and investments anywhere. All this information is synchronized with your Mint.com account automatically.

Security issues aside, it’s a good first start for Mint, and for regular Mint users this is yet another way to get at things like your budget and accounts without having to rely on your bank offering a site that can be accessed on mobile devices. The alerts are also very handy and can tell you if a credit card bill is close to being due, if you’re spending more than usual, or if there have been large deposits or withdrawals into your various accounts. For those things alone, it’s worth downloading the app, just be sure to flip on your iPhone’s built-in security lock feature.

Has anyone tried this app? How useful is it? Anything particular on security issues? Please kindly share here.
