August 26, 2025 4.0 Overall, the app is a good tool to help people stay on top of their finances. With some more oversight, a user could do some great work tracking their financial status and credit scores. Pros For what the app does, its not bad. It makes it easier for me to know what my ' Options are before making any major decisions, financially. Cons Well, I recently had the government remove my student loan while I was still relying on that to keep my credit score high. The app kept sending me notifications saying that my score was higher than people my age, that my score was going up and congratulated me for my score going up. I came to find that my score had dropped when I applied for a loan and my score was down by over 100 points and I never got a notification about it from the app. I still use the app, but this disappointed me.
