The Flash requirement in 2020 kills me. Account synch gets stuck and never finishes. Correctly categorizing transactions usually involves pulling up my bank website to see how the charge was really originally described. Mint pulls some info on this but it's often truncated, so you can try to set up rules but there are often collisions because of that bad incoming data. Somehow in an era where personal data on spending habits is supposed to be extremely valuable, they can't afford to fix the product, and this is the best we can get.

I feel like they aren't even trying with the categorization. Every payday, I get an email notification from Mint asking if I recently made a large purchase, in the amount of my paycheck. Why even bother having a transaction categorization system, if it can't tell the difference between a deposit and a withdrawal?

  Cant you tell it "always categorize"

    You can tell it, it won't necessarily work. I've recategorized a certain transaction pattern and marked it "always categorize" every paycheck for several months.

This! The account synchronization regularly breaks and will tell me that my "Credentials are Out of Date" at which point I then go, and sign in again only to be dumped at the loading page of my financial institution with nothing happening. An hour later Mint will be fine. I don't understand how they can regularly such a large integration broken.

When I first heard of Mint and realized they wanted all my financial passwords, I was uneasy. Seeing where they are now — using Flash in 2020 — I'm glad they don't have my info.
