### 4/5 — Works Well

*2026-06-10, version 1.0.260300*

The app works well & is easy to use.

### 3/5 — Business

*2026-06-04, version 1.0.260300*

Ok

### 2/5 — Limited info and bad tech

*2026-04-11, version 1.0.250800*

Why would online statements not include tax docs like a 1098 for a mortgage? Why are the messages either useless (e.g. a message with a “security alert” telling me I just received a message) or sad (“secure message was received from your financial institution for Christopher Launey in the Q2Api channel” which does  not correspond to receiving a message, meaning someone is testing in production).
