Helped me gain APY while gaming ### 5/5 — Fun Money Saving!! *2024-12-18, version 5.4.16* This is a great savings app for people like me! Most savings apps are really boring and don't have much to offer. I always enjoy logging into cove collecting my daily rewards and slowly expanding my island bit by bit seeing my savings grow. ### 5/5 — Wonderful creative app! *2024-07-18, version 5.3.38* Really good user experience! ### 5/5 — To be determined *2024-04-30, version 5.3.2* If you’re looking into this app, like me ,you probably realized that you need some incentive, you understand gamification, or it just looks cool. Speaking from my corner of the universe it motivates me more than a bank account would. I’m being cautious due to me not researching the company thoroughly, but there’s a refreshing idea here. Granted I haven’t withdrawn any money yet so time will tell if that’s an issue. Hence why it’s TBD, but I think it clears a hurdle in the act of saving. I can’t verbalize it maybe the gratification. Either way excited to see what the team develops. ### 5/5 — Great for gamers *2024-01-21, version 5.1.9* Love the concept of this game/financial app. I hope to see more updates and contents overtime! :) ### 5/5 — Easy and fun way to grow my savings *2024-01-11* I never really had difficulty saving money. That said, this game actually makes saving interactive. I like “buying” new structures for my island and actually seeing the results of saving some extra cash. Nice graphics too. ### 5/5 — Unique and fun way to save! *2023-12-30, version 5.1.9* I’ve been using cove for a few months now, and every time I get paid, I “stash” 20-50 dollars, and over the past 6 months I’ve saved over $400! I love the variety of decorations and overall look and feel of the app. I’d recommend this app to anyone looking for a simple, easy way to save/budget. ### 5/5 — The best app for saving money… *2023-08-23, version 5.0.1* I’ve used a lot of finance tracking / saving apps, but this is a one of a kind. Nothing I have ever used is able to encourage someone to save money so effectively. Their devs are also really responsive and helpful if you ever have any questions or suggestions. My favorite part about the app is the social feature which allows you to share your savings with friends + send money, and this creates and even stronger incentive to save money, cause who wants to look broke lol. The UI is also very user friendly and looks really clean, which is important to me since so many banking apps are the equivalent of using windows vista. ### 5/5 — Super fun way to save! *2023-08-22* The most innovative app incentivizing savings I’ve ever seen! I think this is a powerful way to approach overconsumption by rerouting it to save money through digital means. It’s nice to see an app putting our fixation on purchasing new products towards good intentions. This is truly something that everybody can make use of today. ### 5/5 — Helped me save *2023-07-23, version 4.0.4* Great for saving money in a fun way! ### 5/5 — Makes investing fun! *2023-05-13, version 3.0.2* I absolutely love this app. if you have kids or are a beginner at investing and saving this app is a godsend. It makes saving money fun as opposed to a regular bank account ### 5/5 — Surprisingly addicting *2023-04-05* I wasn’t sure if I would use this but I actually really find it fun! I look forward to the daily shipments and trying to find the more rare decorations to make my island special. Plus there’s the bonus of saving money which makes me feel great! Looking forward to seeing where this app goes :D ### 5/5 — Finally off the waitlist! *2023-01-27, version 1.1.4* I’m really excited about this app. Such a cool concept that growth in a game can actually translate to progress in real life. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t open app *2026-03-28, version 7.4.6* I signed up and gave all my info, but I can’t get back the loading screen. Now I’m worried that this app is spyware or used for data collection. I just wanted to rewrite my brain to have good money habits… ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything with the app. *2026-01-17* I figured this would be a fun way to save money. My account has been in review for the whole time I’ve had the thing and I’ve emailed support twice. I just wanna save some money and have fun doing it. **Developer response:** Hi Mikey, thanks for your interest in Cove!

What’s going on? **Developer response:** Hi ksbshcjcken3739, My name is David, I'm the founder at Eden. I'm so sorry for the wait!

The only thing I dislike is how long it takes for the money to deposit into your account. Sometimes it takes 2-3 days for it to deposit. ### 4/5 — Just started *2026-01-02, version 7.2.0* Just put $1,000 in can’t hurt. Looks very new and interesting still I have seen this pop up about 3 years ago and I like how it has that “tap zoo” feel to it. ### 5/5 — Awesome support *2026-03-11, version 7.4.6* The support staff is very fast to respond and very descriptive with any instructions to avoid confusion! Love the idea of this app as I’m a compulsive spender and this gives me something to “buy” while I’m actually saving! ### 5/5 — Makes saving addictive *2026-01-10, version 7.3.1* I downloaded the app about 2 weeks ago and i’ve already saved a generous chunk without even realizing with the reoccurring deposit feature, it makes saving fun while at the same time allowing you to invest in etfs from $SLV to starting your own $QQQ fund in game. I joined the discord and the devs are extremely helpful and listen to the community about feedback. Im extremely excited for the future of this app! Great people with great principles ### 5/5 — best app ever *2026-01-09, version 7.3.0* i have a hard time saving money but this app makes it easy! i love it and its so fun and productive! highly recommend for any age! :) ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best way to invest! *2025-12-22, version 7.2.0* An entertaining, practical, and quick way to invest ### 5/5 — fun money *2025-12-20, version 7.2.0* American youth, teens, and even adults are hopelessly deficient in financial education, and this app has provided me an effective means of providing my students a platform for learning sound investment fundamentals in a way that sets them up for future success by sublimating their video game addiction into productive investment activity ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-12-20, version 7.2.0* This app is a truly revolutionary platform to help broke college students like me save money. ### 5/5 — Saving the fun way! *2025-12-12, version 7.1.1* I first downloaded the app after meeting one of the founders. His passion for helping ordinary people create a habit of investing in themselves and their future was contagious. The app is really simple, creating enough fun to keep coming back while also not demanding lots of time. The customer service is quick and responsive, and they are always looking for suggestions to improve the game, the savings mechanisms, and the investments. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-09-24, version 6.8.0* Pretty good I think ### 5/5 — finances has never been more fun *2025-04-13, version 6.2.9* i can’t do spreadsheets anymore i just play this game and make more money i luvvvvv it ### 5/5 — The customer service and the community of Cove are amazing. *2025-03-07, version 6.1.8* I just wanted to say thank you guys so much. You guys are an amazing positive community and you guys always help the people of your app and your discord. I appreciate you guys so much. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
