Ratings and reviews

The CreditWise App worked perfectly up until 09/13/2024, when it simply stopped updating! In my attempts to get it to update, I tried logging out and back in many times, and even uninstalling the App and reinstalling, but the App no longer updates! So, it's no longer that useful. I hope someday they can fix it. It was really nice when it worked.

Good for monitoring your credit, but oddly enough if you alreadyhave good credit it can be a nuisance! My total debt ranges from near 0 to 1,000 so every change in usage is a + or - Alert, for a change that is less than 1% of my credit rating. It's going to fluctuate, a lot, because I use my credit card a lot - but also make a lot of payments. I need alerts for suspicious activity, not for insignificant changes to my score.

I'm constantly going in loops of getting my extra protection code text message to me, and putting it in, and the app not accepting it doing it all over again repeatedly and then it crashes. No I'm not typing it in wrong, it automatically copies to the app. Yes it's the correct code because I've gone through this so many times I double-checked now before I hit enter.
