Personal Finance iPhone Apps

After reviewing the apps for a months or so, here is my list of the useful personal finance iPhone apps:

  1. Mint.com - see what happens to all of your money
  2. All your banks such as Chase, which even allows you to take a picture of your check to deposit instead of visiting an actual branch or an atm
  3. PayPal - Monitor your account and send money to friends easily
  4. Investment accounts such as ShareBuilder to monitor your holdings
  5. Zillow.com - useful if you are looking to rent or buy or are just interested in the prices of the houses around your location
  6. LoanCalc - See how much sooner you will payoff any loan if you increase your minimum payment
  7. Pay Off Debt Lite - See what percentage of your debt you have paid so far since the beginning to motivate you to pay more
  8. Credit Card accounts such as Amex to allow yourself to pay your bills from your phone
  9. ScoreAdvice - See what you can do with your credit score to improve it
  10. Ask Dave - Although I don't always agree with what he says, he does have some good advice, this is an app with clips of his radio show
  11. NPR News - the Money Matters radio program releases some great shows on personal finances
  12. Local stores such as Walgreen's app to see what's on sale this week
  13. Daily deal apps such as Groupon to see the deals of the day
  14. News websites such as CNN money to keep up with the current personal finance news
  15. Coupon Sherpa - coupons for retail stores near you, although coupons seem to be available for only a few stores
  16. GasBuddy - will help you find the cheapest gas near you
  17. Kayak - to find the best travel deals
  18. Around me deal apps such as AAA Discounts (must have AAA membership) state discounts available using your current location
  19. Bar code scanners such as ShopSavvy will help you find the best deal online or in stores
  20. Key Ring - if you forget your loyalty card, you can scan the card on your Key Ring app instead
  21. Check-in apps like Yelp that allow you to check in to a restaurant or a shop and  receive a discount or a freebie
If you have other personal favorites, let us know in the comments.
