Lost Money! Terrible allocation advice!

Terrible allocation advice! Lost 11% this year! You’re better off leaving it in the G fund! I’m active duty military and my hard earned money (more than $1k) went down the drain! Look elsewhere!

Great idea, terrible customer service

I like the idea of the illusion of being able to actively manage your account. That being said, it would be better if I was able to actually see the tips. The account is supposed to be tied to my email address but after renewing for the year, it won’t send me the updated weekly tips and keeps saying that I am Not subscribed. I’ve sent numerous emails requesting assistance. If I ever get resolution I’ll amend my review, but as of now I am disappointed and will be filing a complaint with my credit card to get a refund. Don’t waste your money on poor customer service.

Terrible

I’ve been using this app for a year and following their recommendations. My 12 rate of return via the TSP site is .95%.

Total joke. They only put out guidance over the weekend which is based on the previous weeks market actions. With the way the market fluctuates up and down from one week to the next their recommendations are the exact opposite of what you should do.

If you want to learn how to buy high and sell low only to buy back in even higher this is the app to follow.

I’m Done

Added this app 3 years ago to give a good test of value. After 3 years of actual data, comparing to my wife’s lazy hold-and-buy practices I’ve found that her method provides better returns.

App has DOUBLED in price in that period of time. It has NOT changed, improved, or doubled in value. To me this latest price increase of $20 more is simply price gauging. They just want more of your/my money with no plan to provide you more for it.

Stop please

Hello.
I’ve been trying to reach this company for the pass week or so. Sending out a couple of emails explaining that I do not want to use this app anymore and to also please stop charging me. I went so far to even freeze my account. No one has reached back to me and I’m trying to handle this on the lowest level possible. Can someone please contact me back.
Thank you

Great Option

Thoroughly enjoy this app. Has really been beneficial as opposed to randomly placing my money into one fund and letting it grow without knowledge of current markets. I have seen an excellent return, through both market lows and highs. Definitely worth the money!

Discovered bug

When trying to update my account balance and setting allocation, the numbers keep going back to 0 after scrolling down or up. Will update review after a few months of advice results and when the bug if fixed.

Don’t fall for it

This is basically an attempt to get you signed up for the monthly exorbitant subscription. The monthly subscription $6 might not sound much to you but it really adds up multiplying that by 12. It’s not worth it because their predictions or projections have been below par, it’s laughable. I will not recommend them look else where for a lower fee and better results.

Buy and hold Wins

I stopped following there advice for two reasons. Their policy of only making changes Monday morning is often too late. Maybe because they do there number crunching on Saturday? Regardless of the market going up or down they always are about a week or two late to the party. I think you are better off with a buy and hold plan or follow the tsptalk website for very good free advice. Most important, maximize your contributions, you can’t afford not to:)

Active participation

I've put money into the various accounts without much thought on how my money was being managed. I looked at my account last fall, after listening to a radio personality discussing the in and outs of the funds with a guest caller. I decided I needed to pay more attention and found this app. I spend more money at my kids football games than I paid for this, so why not. Ive gone from 7% safe growth to just over 13% since October. I know the market is booming now, so time will tell. The app provides a means of tracking, that's all. They send you the emails for any recommendations. I wish it would have a notification for a new recommendation. It works...

Aug ‘18 update: I was happy with the app until a recent update. I have an iPhone SE (smaller screen), when updating my balance, the sections to enter my percentages in show “What percentage in ...”. This is completely useless as it asks for a number only. Someone didn’t test this on a smaller device, it’s a mandatory field, so I end up entering 100 in the first row to continue.

As for the services they provide, I ran 23% up until Twitter January, now I’m seeing a 8.3% this year. I’m overall happy with my investments.
