Mint Personal Finance Goes Universal

Mint.com is a service that I wish would come over to the British shores. For now though, I'll just gaze longingly at how the already excellent personal finance app has now been optimized for the iPad and improved upon.

Built with the iPad and iOS5 in mind (which is now a requirement to install Mint.com Personal Finance), the overview screen has been redesigned so that users can quickly get a snapshot of their finances as well as the latest alerts and bill reminders. Cash and pending transactions can be entered to ensure the most accurate view of the user's finances, plus detailed transactions are viewable. Multi-touch graphs make everything easy to understand, particularly for those who work best with visual imagery, so its users always know where their money is going.

It's a sizeable enough update that re-establishes Mint.com Personal Finance's position as a great app for all US and Canadian users in their quest to keep an eye on their finances. It's out now.
