This app is great! It's easy for both me and my child to use, and being able to customize the card was such an awesome feature! I have one suggestion that would be great to possibly see in future updates: if there was a way to possibly add funds besides the parent accounts. I recently had an issue with the accounts that I usually add funds with. If I could've used an outside source to add money to the card (an atm, a banking center, etc) it would've been a tremendous help.

This app is good. But not as good as it could be. They have very slow updates on the app but the spend notifications rapidly go to your phone so its very weird that you have to open the app a few times in order to even see that you made transactions or added more money into the account. Sort of annoying but I'm sure thats easily fixable on their end.

App is a cool concept and I was super excited to use it. Before ordering a card and everything I read online and the in the app itself that you could add money using a bank account. When I contacted support they told me no, you can not add money with a bank account and they asked me where I found this misinformation she just said that she's sorry I was misinformed and that it's not or never has been an option, which is a flat out LIE because I have multiple friends with the app that can
