I wish we could navigate the app and see how we like it before jumping into creating an account and giving personal info. The way it's set up atm makes you feel trapped/locked in......you have to continue w the account set up before being able to do anything. Also, I ended up having to close my account due to the minimum monthly amount being outside my budget. If we could adjust that to any amount then I'd reinstall. I also wish we could earn points/money somehow (the way other apps do)

I really, really love and appreciate this app.... I set up an account with the intention of accumulating savings for my daughter... Funds are pretty tight. literally paycheck to paycheck- so it's not easy to put back money .... But the beauty of this app is that it autodrafts a little bit from all of my deposits (on a basis I prescheduled).. I have already accumulated a couple hundred dollars in a few months time, effortlessly. By the time she is able to access it, it's gonna be racks on racks!!

I do not recommend. Just go through the hassle of setting accounts up yourself. These guys charge a huge rate, plus they are very good at losing money. In one account, they have recieved $250 in investment + $60 in fees (notice how their fees are more than 20% of what is invested) - and the account has lost around $61 overall which is more than a 20% loss. So for a total cost of $310, they are holding $180 for me... You would be better off with your own accounts and $SPY or just use savings
