### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-23, version 2026.07.15(2607.15)*

The website is easy to use but the app is complete garbage. I have just reset my password on the website but it doesn’t work on the app

### 1/5 — It’s dial up.

*2026-07-13, version 2026.07.01(2607.1)*

Worst app on my phone.  Can’t login at all.

### 1/5 — App not functional

*2026-07-13, version 2026.07.01(2607.1)*

I have downloaded this application and tried to login with my already registered account and it does not seem to recognize my login. But when I headed to the actual website I was able to login successfully. It does not seem to make sense, but this application needs to be re evaluated before being distributed to users.

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate

*2026-07-06, version 2026.07.01(2607.1)*

This app is amazing and pretty easy to navigate. Take advantage of this most jobs don’t have 401k plans.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-05-09, version 2026.04.30(2604.30)*

Great app and user friendly, after one of the last updates the graphs disappeared

### 1/5 — Payment option? Why?

*2026-03-29, version 2026.03.25(2603.25)*

Why do I need to enter a payment card information just to download the app?

### 1/5 — APP’s LOGIN NO LONGER WORKS

*2026-03-15, version 2026.03.11(2603.11)*

Now (as of 3/15/2026) unable to login. Password no longer works. Birthdates are overwritten with incorrect ones. App also says Birth Date is “not valid”. Just totally stopped working out of the blue.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-02-19, version 2026.02.18(2602.18)*

I can log into account using their website. Same info used for the app and it has no clue. Just take this off the App Store till you fix it

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-01-02, version 2025.12.18(2512.18)*

Nothing really works properly. You can’t really do anything on the app, but look at stuff. None of the loan stuff works.

### 2/5 — Login Not Working

*2026-01-01, version 2025.12.18(2512.18)*

I can log into the website but not the app
