Been with them for 8 months. They've invested 3 months but collected their fee every month. They take weeks to respond with solutions that don't happen. Garbage company and we're going elsewhere. Positive reviews have to be fake. Every month it shows a pending withdrawal AND I get a trade confirmation email. Every month, no money is invested. Also when you click the emails to see statements and trade confirmation it takes you to the app with none of this information.

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!!
