### 4/5 — Good app needs biometric login

*2025-02-05, version 1.0.147*

Have been using this app for awhile now to check my credit history.  
Overall the app is very good but I hope developers will bring in biometric login instead of using pin.  
Secondly why does it force logout every time it updates.  

Lastly why suddenly it has a two months lag in updating repayment history?  My wife uses the same app and her updates are most recent.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-06-20, version 1.0.126*

App is good but it would be good if we could stop and start the credit ban when we need to, no 21 day period, no 12 month period, just turn on and off as required.

### 4/5 — Saved me from credit fraud

*2024-02-21, version 1.0.115*

I’ve had this app since the data breaches a few years back. I recently was made aware through the app that a credit enquiry had been fraudulently made in my name. Long story short - my ID had been stolen and used to apply for a number of lines of credit. I never would have known about it if not for this app - thank you. Would be 5 stars if there was a way to lift the ban with all 3 reporting agencies when I need to but I get that they are 3rd parties and have their own processes (and this is all to protect us).

### 3/5 — List credit freeze button

*2023-12-03, version 1.0.112*

I used to have the option on the app to unfreeze my credit block but that has disappeared with the last App update. No idea why.

### 2/5 — App problems

*2023-11-03, version 1.0.105*

Good service but very faulty app.

### 4/5 — All good

*2023-09-22, version 1.0.98*

Ok to use

### 5/5 — Tech help, so helpful

*2023-09-15, version 1.0.98*

I couldn’t log in and needed tech help. The response, quick, clear supportive and helpful. I’m back on track to being secure and More savvy than I was. Many thanks to the tech team.

### 4/5 — This app works

*2023-07-26, version 1.0.95*

The app is fine and does what it is supposed to. It’s an app for the iPhone so it doesn’t work so well on the iPad but looks good on the iPhone. 

More importantly Credit Savvy has made it easy for me to get my credit score and lock down my credit to keep my accounts safe.

### 2/5 — Logging in issues

*2023-06-08, version 1.0.88*

Great when I can log in. Tried to log in, and when I did all my previous credit details and reports weren’t there. It’s like I never existed. Tried to forgot password then it wouldn’t recognise the email I initially used to register.

### 3/5 — Not so easy to remove a ban

*2023-03-30, version 1.0.79*

With all the recent data breaches I followed advice and put a temporary credit report ban in place. I needed to remove the ban and had to contact all three credit providers individually which then took between 1 to 12 days for the credit report to be active. Perhaps the developer could work on this as the customer experience is terrible!

### 1/5 — Log out .. AGAIN

*2024-09-07, version 1.0.127*

App keeps logging me out - can’t use pin Again 20/7
And again …. I am deleting app

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-07-20, version 1.0.126*

Downloaded this,when entering my details I keep getting told they are incorrect despite everything matching up 100%.Wasted half an hr trying to verify I am who I am and no luck.Most useless App ever

### 1/5 — Misleading process to lift ban

*2023-10-30, version 1.0.105*

The app will let you put a credit ban with every agency. But will not allow you to lift the ban with anyone except Experian.

Do not use for managing credit bans, learn how to do it the hard way.

I read everything, and it was not obvious to me that this was the situation. Of all things, this should be bleedingly obvious in the UX.

### 1/5 — Can’t lift credit report ban

*2023-08-10, version 1.0.96*

I’m trying to lift the credit report ban which can only be done via the app. It’s telling me to update the app but there doesn’t seem to be a new update available.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work!

*2023-06-15, version 1.0.88*

Had the app for a while but as soon as I go to login in it redirects me to a blank white screen… so it simply doesn’t work and never has, all I have wanted to do is to put a ban on my credit file but that seems an impossible task.

### 1/5 — Cannot log in the App - Safari Cannot open the page

*2023-05-28, version 1.0.85*

What is happening!  Can’t log in to the App and its the only way to ban credit checks?  Keeps saying “Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost”.  Can access the web page but cannot process the ban request through there.  So frustrating!

### 1/5 — Can’t use the App

*2023-05-24, version 1.0.85*

Can’t get past the date of birth - the month appears to be limited up to the current month- so if you are born after May (current month), you can’t enter the date of birth correctly.
Only Jan-May appear as selectable options. Can’t type in as well as it goes to choose the date immediately. A keyboard functionality for entering would be good.

Can’t rate as can’t use.

### 1/5 — Tablet Keyboard

*2023-05-01, version 1.0.85*

The app is unusable given the app doesn’t pop up the keyboard to enter codes.

Incredible waste of time and frustrating, CBA.

### 1/5 — Got stuck in a OTP loop

*2023-05-01, version 1.0.85*

Wouldn’t accept the OTP it emailed me so I can’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Log in

*2023-04-15, version 1.0.85*

Why do I have to enter my verification details every time… it’s not like I’m setting up a new account….. 
it works when it wants to.

In this current environment where we are told continuously to protect ourselves… you are not making it easy..

### 5/5 — Great free app!

*2024-06-12, version 1.0.125*

Love that I’m able to monitor my credit score and credit file for free. Also able to place a credit file ban across bureaus to protect my credit file. Would recommend this app!

### 5/5 — So easy

*2024-05-27, version 1.0.125*

Very easy to navigate and use. I never knew my rating before

### 5/5 — Smashing savings goals!

*2024-05-27, version 1.0.125*

I’ve been using the Credit Savvy app for a few months now, and it has significantly transformed my financial habits. As someone saving for a new house, I needed a tool to help me stay on top of my spending while also working to improve my credit score. Credit Savvy has been that tool.

The app provides a clear and detailed overview of my spending habits, making me more aware of where my money is going each month. The budgeting features are intuitive and easy to use, allowing me to set spending limits and track my progress in real time. This has been instrumental in helping me cut unnecessary expenses and redirect those savings towards my house fund.

Additionally, the credit score monitoring feature is fantastic. Credit Savvy not only provides my current credit score but also offers personalised tips on how to improve it. By following these recommendations, I’ve seen a noticeable uptick in my credit score, which is crucial for securing a favourable mortgage rate.

Overall, Credit Savvy has been a game-changer in my financial journey. It’s user-friendly, informative, and has provided me with the tools and insights needed to make better financial decisions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their financial health and achieve their savings goals.

### 5/5 — The SavvyShield featured prevented fraud

*2024-05-23, version 1.0.125*

Love the Savvyshield feature where I can place a ban to protect my credit file.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-05-23, version 1.0.125*

Great features. Needed to place ban.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app in uncertain times

*2024-04-24, version 1.0.122*

I was lucky enough to have this app before there was a huge data breech in Optus, and when I heard the news I instantly put savvy shield on to stop me having my details leaked. I can not endorse this app more, it’s so invaluable when we are having so many cyber attacks with all sorts of companies

### 5/5 — Helped me buy an apartment

*2024-04-07, version 1.0.120*

Needed to improve my financial situation. Credit Savvy was so helpful in doing that. I received regular updates on my score via email & visually saw my score go from low to very high. I was then able to purchase an apartment. It now keeps me on track to stay in very high. I’m notified when anything affects my score, good or bad. Also easy to navigate site. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — All good

*2024-02-18, version 1.0.115*

Better than all others

### 5/5 — Seamless and intuitive

*2024-02-01, version 1.0.115*

So easy to use and all the information I needed was available within minutes. A real solace when one believes one has been exposed to identity theft.
