User Reviews
I have downloaded this app to try it out and I keep getting the spinning wheel at the enter your phone number page. It won’t stop loading.
When i try to log in it requires a phone number but I’m a kid I only have an email.
Good
As a teen I love this app I love how the round up keeps the cents at 0 for my brain, but one thing I’d like to suggest the app do is could you add widgets? Maybe like one that says the saving amount? The app is perfect and easy to manage I love the custom cards
This app is bad is kick you out of the app as soon as as you by and you have tho throw the card they send you when they kick you out and then the app is so bad I wish I could leave zero stars
It is so great you should get it now try saving the app is so great
The games I wish we would earn every dollar for everything that we play on there if we get like three stars or something but like the games, they’re OK the card mine got frozen by Greenlight and now it can’t come unfrozen and I’m just trying to get a camera
This app is so good! I love how you can have your own bank account, for teens and children! This app is so great and I highly recommend!!!🌝🌝
I use this app as a kid and I love it! I have my own card (but haven’t figured out how to make my own personal card) and I try to spend and SAVE too.
All I wanted was a debit card for my freshman in college grandson! It was not easy to set up! Then you have to first load the money into my own personal wallet and then transfer it into the kids wallet… then spend more minutes trying to figure out how to get it to auto fill his card with $100 a month! I ended up putting $500 onto my side of this. I guess it’s a debit card… And setting up an allowance. of $106 a month…BECAUSE THERE IS A $5.99 monthly charge just to use this card and I don’t want that to come out out of his “allowance”. Going to try this out for a few months to see if it’s easy for him to use… Should be I think I finally have it set up as a debit card with a pin number that he can spend anywhere… Bypassed all the other complicated nuances added this card could do.
I like it but it said if you don't put sessxy
It’s good 👍 and I like it, so you should too
