Ratings and reviews

I have used SoLo Funds on and off for a few years. I have noticed some improvements to the app, but there is still a lot of work to do in my opinion. First, how returns are calculated is just whacky. Second, the scoring system is not dependable. Third, SoLo is not very clear when is comes to loan agreements and overdue loans, and what can be done when a loan is overdue. Overall, the concept is awesome. It's just not very lender-friendly, and is really built for the borrowers.

Good app. Great idea! If you're using it as a form of investment, I'd go somewhere else. Invested over 20k into these loans, and not sure what happened, but had many borrowers, many with really good scores, who haven't paid back. Any money I made was lost. Stopped trusting the scoring system. If you want to help people in need and take on the likely risk of not getting paid back, use the purchase protection. It'll cut into your profit, but guarantees something instead of nothing.

Great app, great interface. Only suggestion I have, is from a lender perspective, it would be nice to see how many days late the borrowers were on paying back previous loans. Right now, it just shows the borrowers loan history, and whether it was on time or late, but you don't have any idea how late they were on paying it back. It would definitely help my decision on whether or not to lend to certain borrowers. Would also be nice to see the date that loan requests were originated.
