As you may or may not know, mint.com has been bought by Intuit. You may also know that Intuit is…well…not highly regarded among people who care. Lots of people have been deleting their Mint accounts upon hearing the news.
Here’s my dilemma: there’s a fresh new update for Mint.app in AppStore. The “feature list” contains some appealing stuff, so my first instinct is to install it.
But.
What if there’s something else in this update? There are no standards for what goes into those “changelogs,” if you can call them that. I’ve been burned before when an app update conveniently neglected to tell me about some new “feature” or the removal of a feature that I didn’t want removed. Or ads.
iTunes used to keep archived older versions of iPhone apps in the Mobile Applications folder. Somewhere in the last few versions, it stopped keeping those old versions. Rolling back to an old version isn’t as easy as it once was.
So. Do I install this update? If I don’t, do I really want to be staring that damned badge on AppStore.app in perpetuity?
