Great app

Easy to use

Constantly logging me out

App constantly logs me out, unable to pay towards the principle on the app. The payment goes towards the interest rate, seems like a scam to me. I was told I have to go into the bank to make a principle only payment. Unfortunate.

I like the app

Easy to use. Very good app.
