Ratings and reviews

The idea is good and I like it. But when my funds are low, I can only pause the automatic saver. All other savers you have to turn off, and if you do that, you lose your 52 week And 1p challenge and have to start again. Would be good if there was a pause button to stop all savings, but when you have funds, it can continue where you were you left off. If you'd like to

Irritating, I don't want an open banking connection or the automated junk. I'm capable of saving myself, just wanted the higher interest rate saver I can choose when to put money into. I am aware I can turn off the automatic deposits and have done, but that doesn't stop the emails spamming me about my open banking connection renewal.

Good product with rather a steep learning curve. After signing up, I was pretty overwhelmed by near-constant app notifications talking about Pockets, Rules, Automatic Deposits, Round Ups....its all a bit much and I think during sign up, giving users finer control over which notifications they want to receive would be helpful. With a clearer UX I think this app would be brilliant.
