Frustrating and unintuitive user interface. I'm trying to remove an "older adult" who was accidentally added, and the app isn't easy to navigate. Logging in on a computer continually loops me back to "download the app," even though I've already downloaded the app and used it on my android. Fantastic service idea, terrible design on the user side for setup and editing account. Very frustrating.

I can't edit my previous review. I had left a 3 star review due to app issues. Customer service was amazing and called me right away. We sat on the phone trying to figure out why I wasn't able to sign in. The woman was very kind and helpful. We finally figured it out (an issue with my phone and not the app itself) and she also explained the $30 promo so I'm looking forward to that. It does seem they really try to take care of their customers. I've never had any customer service call me first!

It's a nice app. I love how conveniently it allows us to pay our kids' allowances and teach them budgeting skills. I wish the spending categories could be customized, though. My 7 and 10yos aren't getting money from ATMs or buying groceries. They do buy their own toys and clothes sometimes, though, and being able to create those categories would be so great!
