I had a lot of issues having to re-create passwords unnecessarily for this app
Was great when it was GoHenry. Since changing to Acorns app, we have had quite a bit of trouble with the card functioning.
Have three kids on this app. Easy to give them an allowance, spending limits , and track their spending. Been using it for four years now, very happy!
Not a bad idea, but the transfer from accounts is ridiculously slow, and items are not tracked weekly/monthly. Not worth the $8 a month in my opinion.
I couldnโt find a way to get in touch with the developer. They just have Automated AI tools. The biggest thing this app needs to improve it and would probably give it. Five stars for me is if the daily task list was collapsible and if it auto scrolled to the current day. Or even simpler put Saturday through Sunday tabs at the top of the task list and only show those days on the page. My kids have 10 or more tasks every day that they can check off and having to scroll through 100 tasks by the end of the week is just really poor design.

Having a really hard time liking this app. Unlike GoHenry, this app does not appear to have any ability to send parents notifications. It does not appear in my notifications settings on my phone and within the app settings itself. It has no options to turn on parent notifications.
No issues!
Excellent for teaching about money!
Iโm seven and they need my Social Security number my address WTH
Kids are teaching me about money
My kids Love it
It is so hard to login ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Amazing app for kids and a great way to trader funds from your account into your childrenโs. Amazing app 8/10
Adding more than one bank account, and labeling them properly is difficult or impossible. Small thing, unless you need it for multiple kids
You would expect this so called bank for children to provide excellent customer service because they will be interacting with children, but unfortunately, they do not. They fail to provide any information. FYI, make sure your children do not make any default purchases.
๐ค I got this app because I wanted to earn more money. First it was super fun! But present time now, no matter how much chores I check off, I still canโt seem to earn any money on my paycheck day. Developer, please let me know how I can fix this!!๐ค
I rarely write reviews, but I feel I must share my experience to help other parents avoid this app. We had this app for several years and my kids are now older teens so we donโt need it. (Honestly after the first week or two they lost interest.) Regardless, I kept putting in an allowance every week for them and they had over $600 in the accounts when we decided to cancel the app. Itโs been over a month and we still canโt get our money back! The first time I called they said it would be 3-5 business days. Then a week later they sent an email stating they needed my bank account information in order to refund our money from the account. (Initially they said it would be refunded to the card on file.) I reluctantly gave them that info and 4 phone calls later, and 3 more weeks have went by with no money returned to me. Yesterday I called again and they said they would have a manager call me by the end of the day. Guess whatโฆstill no phone calls! Please save yourself the hassle and donโt use this app! Your kids wonโt get their saved money back!
