Safest Automatic Expense Tracking App

Which apps on the Google Play store are the safest to connect my credit cards to so I can auto track expenses? Is Mint still okay? By safe I mean secure. Thank you!
You Need a Budget is great, though it may be does a little more than you need it to.

Like Teadog we too use You Need a Budget (YNAB) and it's great. The only, rather minor downside I've found is that sometimes I want to change the Payee from what YNAB automagically supplies because we categorize something a little differently, and the Android app won't let me copy and paste that field, so I use the web version on our computer to do that (usually just a couple of times a month).

Mint is owned by Intuit, and they’re a large tech company that also handles tax info for a large proportion of Americans. There is no silver bullet, but given that any breach from them would result, at minimum, in a very unpleasant day for the C-suite in the Capitol, they have a very strong impetus to ensure that their systems are secure.
Mint is also slowly upgrading the connections between them and the banks, using a new token-based authentication rather than directly passing through credentials. You can also set up your account on a PC via a browser, then log into that account via the app.
