I wouldn't this is why I chose a non connected financial app on my Android phone. It took me a week of try and miss to find a good one but there's no way I'm going to trust a third party with my banking info. Heck I don't even trust my bank (but admittedly I don't have a choice in the matter).

This is also why I don't seriously use Evernote. Yeah I'd love to have all my documents and bills there, but at one point you have to stop and think about the implications of a private company (in fact 2, since they're probably using AWS) knowing everything about you.

I agree completely.

I'm using "Cha-Ching 2 beta" which was abandoned some 6 years ago when Intuit bought out the company working on it but the beta still works (I owned a copy of Cha-Ching 1 from some software bundle I picked up). The downside is (1) manual entry of every transaction, and (2) no analytics at all. The plus side is I wrote my own scripts to extract data from its Sqlite database so I can do analytics in a spreadsheet.

I definitely don't trust any one company. I don't want my bank or my credit card company to have 100% of my financial data.
