GoHenry

This app is so easy and helpful for kids to manage there money

Kids can’t manage it

In this smartphone free world and school Chromebook led childhood…children can’t upload the app to manage and review their finances…that’s pretty rubbish.

doesnt work

i liked this app for a long time but now it tells me to refer to acorns early and it doesnt let me use my card at all. but i already have an acorns early card and now i cant use any of the money on my gohenry card because im already logged into acorns early with a different account
its so annoying i just want to use my card but no

Unlawful Charges & imposible to cancel

I have tried to formally cancel my subscription multiple times through the app and via email, but GoHenry completely ignores customer requests and continues to charge my card without authorization. They make it impossible to opt out once they have your billing information. Extremely predatory practices for a financial app targeting families. Do NOT sign up unless you want your card held hostage

The problem

The problem with this app is that it takes away my dad’s money and he gets very annoyed and he think that you shouldn’t do that and be like Monzo
