  • SmartyPig is good, App is not

    The app constantly shows error messages so it makes using it frustrating compared to using the website.
  • It’s a Great Idea,

    However I don’t know what is going on with the app all of a sudden because I transferred money into my Smarty Pig account and the app is not reflecting my updated balance. I have to log in through the web browser to see my updated balance. I’ve tried logging out and back in. Uninstall and reinstall and my balance is still not reflecting my updated balance. App is kinda useless if I have to use the web browser each time now. 😒

  • Someone is earning interest not me

    I believe in paying yourself first and saving which is why I started using this account. However a few years into it I note that money leaves my checking account and does not appear in my smarty pig account for 7 calendar days. In other words someone is earning interest on my money for that period, it's not me. I would understand a one or two day delay but 7 calendar days in todays world is unacceptable. There are lots of better alternatives paying comparable or better interest

  • Love the app, but can’t log in right now…

    I love this app and how it works. It’s user friendly. However, I’ve tried to log in since yesterday and can’t for some reason. There isn’t any new updates and tried the website, but still can’t log in. Not sure why it isn’t working.
  • Poorly made and lazy

    I wanted to love it so badly but it just isn’t good. The app doesn’t load, transfers are insanely slow, the balance doesn’t show up at all. Its not motivating to save when my goals show up as 0% complete even when they’re almost at 100% complete. It’s just broken. Not worth the low interest rate. Seriously trash. Do they even have engineers to work on it?

  • App is glitchy; very user friendly

    Once I can get into my app, it is very user friendly and simple to manage your money. The negatives are that it often glitches when you try and login. It just gets stuck/frozen and I have to close app frequently and come back later to login again. Also it takes forever to transfer money from Smarty Pig to my local brick and mortar bank for use.

  • I just don’t like it

    Yeah I think it’s crazy to put a 5 business day hold on someone money after an ACH transfer! I’ve had nothing but trouble since i started this account and can’t wait until I close it for good.

    Not worth the low interest rate. Going back to Marcus.

  • App

    The app keeps crashing and I can’t get in and I have to call them and change it all over again
  • Unable to Use

    I have been unable to use the app since last update. I am able to login in but it then just spins. I have gone five minutes waiting for the app to login until I finally gave up. I have tried multiple times to login.
