Ratings and reviews

I think greenlight is a very cool , helpful,and kid friendly app. It has lots of cool features like quizzes for kids about learning budgets, spending,and savings. You can add chores to their divice for them to achieve, then they can earn money that you add to their account and goes straight to thier greenlight debit card. They can spend the card anywhere ,but they have to earn it. Now, the card does have an expiration date. But it lasts a good while. Overall greenlight a good and helpful app.

Edit: Instant customer service to resolve incorrect path. there must have been something that got me into a path of only dealing with a device setup no matter what I tried. a short time later, they were able to reset my accohnt and get it settled the proper way. Financial? I followed the sign up process online for the debit card and all I am brought to is setting up some kind of tracking device. There's nothing to do with finances with this app as far as I can tell.

this app is great for children to learn money management and about how to earn money. if you set everything up perfectly in the beginning and none of your information or your child's information ever changes, it works great. you can set and edit chores, and set, update, and edit the amount they receive for those chores. My only issue is with customer service not knowing about technical issues, or how or who to reach to get them fixed. Just don't get a new phone or change a phone number.
