This is 10 bloody quid a month! Come on, GoHenry! ### 3/5 — Getting kids to use more money *2026-09-01, version 9.9.0* I think it’s great, but if you can try and make it so the kids can request for money and then it gives them an extra £2? ### 2/5 — Expensive *2026-09-01, version 9.9.0* I have stopped my GoHenry account as I will no longer agree to pay £5.99 when other accounts are either much less or free. I would rather my child had £5.99 per month instead. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-30, version 9.9.0* Very good for kids ### 4/5 — Good but not good enough *2026-08-26, version 9.8.0* Cost too much and is scam ### 3/5 — Not much possible to do transfer money onto my child account *2026-08-26, version 9.8.0* I am not that keen on that app. I am the second parent to be linked to my child’s account and card, and I cannot to any money myself onto her account. The parent administrator is the only one to be able to act onto the account, and the two of us do not talk anymore. So we are stuck! Therefore… I am not a fan of that app. ### 5/5 — Best money app I have tried *2026-08-24, version 9.8.0* When my grandma signed me up I was a bit sceptical but it is very good and simple to use ### 5/5 — I would recommend this *2026-08-22, version 9.8.0* GoHenry is really safe and if kids ever want something you don’t need to spend your money because they have their own cards and so it’s really good. You give them the money and you can give them chores ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-22, version 9.8.0* Really good app good with savings and budgets easy to use overall very good i would definitely recommend this app ### 5/5 — Good go Henry *2026-08-22, version 9.8.0* It is really easy to set up and easy to earn money and it is fun to play games that it has ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-21, version 9.8.0* Love the app safe and they do missions so you can earn more money and the parents can set up some tasks and that helps them improve love this app totally get this ### 5/5 — Go henry rules *2026-08-20, version 9.8.0* I love it ### 5/5 — GoHenry *2026-08-16, version 9.7.0* This app is so easy and helpful for kids to manage there money ### 2/5 — Kids can’t manage it *2026-08-14, version 9.7.0* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — dad *2026-09-05, version 9.9.0* keeps changing amounts i have agreed to thinking off stopping this app ### 1/5 — Money gone missing *2026-08-30, version 9.9.0* So had about 169 pounds in savings and i had to draw cash out so i drawn out 100 and got home and checked my balance to see i had 0 left and had the 69 pounds go missing i have checked everywhere and nothing has gone out the account apparat from the 100 pounds its not on since i was planning to go out shopping and save that money but now i have to use that 100 pounds ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-08-25, version 9.8.0* Revelot better ### 1/5 — Cancel my account *2026-08-24, version 9.8.0* Been trying to cancel my account for 3 months now but no luck and keep getting charged £9.99 per month for family membership ### 1/5 — Worst app!!!! *2026-08-23, version 9.8.0* Always crashing!! ### 1/5 — doesnt work *2026-08-08, version 9.6.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Unlawful Charges & imposible to cancel *2026-08-08, version 9.6.0* 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 ### 1/5 — The problem *2026-08-06, version 9.6.0* 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 ### 1/5 — RIP off *2026-08-06, version 9.6.0* They now charge you a service charge to transfer money to your kids! Absolute disgrace… as soon as I open the a proper bank account this will be deleted! You already charge me £10 per child each month and now a bloody service fee every time I want to give them pocket money! Awful app ### 1/5 — Where is the money *2026-08-03, version 9.6.0* It seems a charge is used for everything ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Henry go *2026-09-07, version 9.9.0* An amazing site Thant teaches children how to be safe with money and also teaches them to be extremely cautious and careful with i love this app From A ten year old girl 😊❤️xx❤️😊 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-05, version 9.9.0* Good ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-09-04, version 9.9.0* It’s absolutely amazing🩷 ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-09-02, version 9.9.0* Just amazing ### 5/5 — VERY GOOD *2026-09-02, version 9.9.0* 🩷🩷 ### 5/5 — Been using since year 6 *2026-09-01, version 9.9.0* I’ve enjoyed using my card and added to wallet to use incase I don’t bring my card anywhere and helps me understand expensive stuff ### 5/5 — Go Henry *2026-08-31, version 9.9.0* This app is amazing and so fun to do ### 5/5 — hellooooo *2026-08-31, version 9.8.0* This app is amazing it taught me how to managed money financially and also mentally but one thing i think they should add is when you add money to your interest saving you should have a password only parents know to lock it so children cant get in and spend the money. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-30, version 9.9.0* Great ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-27, version 9.8.0* I am a father separated from the mother of my child and this app has helped me so much in sending my daughter money also in helping her learn how to save! 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
