PT Money Goes Mobile: iPhone App, Amazon Kindle, and WP Touch Theme

by PT on January 22, 2010

Free iPhone App from PT Money

Check it out. PT Money is an iPhone App. Visit Apple iTunes to download the App for free.

With this App, you’ll be able to read the blog content online or offline, share your favorite articles, and follow my recent tweets all from your iPhone.

PT Money App on the iPhone

Here’s the description:

PT Money iPhone App ButtonPT Money is an App based on the personal finance blog, PT Money, at ptmoney.com. Everyday on PT Money, PT shares real personal finance tips for a life without limits.

The App contains an RSS feed from the blog as well as a feed from PT’s Twitter account. The content of the feeds are strictly related to personal finance. Topics include saving money, frugality, credit cards, debt reduction, making money, budgeting, insurance, taxes, retirement, etc.

Visit the PT Money App test page at AppMakr.com to click around on the app without an iPhone.

Get your blog made into an App. Use the code PTMONEY to get 25% off.

The biggest benefit to having the iPhone App vs just visiting via browser or reader is that you automatically have the last 10 posts downloaded on the app. This way if you wanted to read the latest blog post but don’t have a wireless or wifi connection (on a place for instance) then you will still be able to read 10 posts.

Here are a few screen shots from the app in action:

PT Money on Amazon Kindle

Do you have an Amazon Kindle? PT Money is also now available for the Kindle. Visit Amazon and subscribe to PT Money on Amazon Kindle. This is a subscription service from Amazon and will cost .99/month. I would have made it free, but that wasn’t an option.

I don’t have a Kindle so I can’t show you a screen shot. Anyone?

PT Money on WP Touch Browser

Last but certainly not least, if you’ve been visiting the blog via mobile browser over the last month or so you may have noticed the special theme designed just for viewing on a small screen. I installed the WP Touch WordPress theme. The theme automatically resizes my blog for mobile devices. Here are a few screen shots:

I love this theme. Makes the blog so much easier to read by phone.

I just got the HTC Hero with Google – Why no Android Love?

Joking…the app looks really cool congrats

Looks great, PT! Looks like I have a weekend task ahead of me. :)

PT January 22, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Was really quick to do, Patrick. Like 15 mins.

Yeah, Evan, I don’t know about an Android App. I’m sure AppMakr.com will have to start making those as well.

I just downloaded the iPhone app. AWESOME!

Thanks, Tiffany. Looking forward to reading your thoughts here on the blog in the coming weeks…

I’ve got the app now PT, looks good! You’ve inspired me to create my own – now live on the App store! :)

PT February 8, 2010 at 10:01 pm

Just downloaded it, Pete. Nice work. The design and functionality is more robust than mt app.

Madeleine G Hosbein February 24, 2010 at 3:19 pm

Great news! I’m at my daughter’s right now and left my Kindle at home so I’m looking forward to this weekend and downloading it then. I’m sure it is well worth the 99cents a week.

Very cool, Madeleine. Thanks!!
