Intuit Mint App Brings Financial Management to Your Fingertips with Innovative Android Features

In a move that is expected to revolutionize the way people manage their finances, Intuit has launched its highly-anticipated Mint app for Android devices. The new app not only offers users a seamless financial management experience but also leverages three exclusive Android-specific capabilities to make it even more user-friendly and intuitive.

'We hook into the global search feature of the Android OS,' explains Atish Mehta, lead mobile engineer at Intuit. 'This allows users to search across multiple sources of information, including browser bookmarks, browser history, contacts, and now financial transactions tracked by Mint.' With this innovative feature, users can quickly glance at their recent transactions without having to launch the app or navigate through different menus.

Another exciting feature of the Mint app is its integration with Live Folders. This means that users can view data from the Home screen itself, making it easy to stay on top of their finances even when they're not actively using the app. 'We're still evaluating how we want to allocate our resources and timing,' says Mehta, hinting at future updates and improvements.

The Mint app for Android takes advantage of three key Android-specific capabilities: Global Search, Live Folders, and Quick View. These features enable users to access their financial information quickly and easily, making it simple to track expenses, stay within budget, and plan for the future.

The decision to develop an Android version of the Mint app was driven by market trends toward Android adoption as well as vocal user requests. As with the previously released iPhone app, the Android version offers users a range of features, including balance tracking, cash flow prediction, budget review, alert setting, and drill-down transaction viewing.

'We're excited to bring this innovative financial management tool to the Android community,' says Mehta. With its intuitive design and powerful features, the Mint app is poised to revolutionize the way people manage their finances on-the-go.
