It’s not. If they don’t fix soon, I’ll just deactivate and delete. ### 1/5 — HELP!!! *2025-12-22, version 2.4.73* I’ve moved to a new apartment, I am a renter, and I am trying to get my address changed in the app! And for some reason, it’s not allowing me to change my address! UGH!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-01, version 2.4.73* I downloaded this specifically for the credit and it keeps telling me to download the app after inputting my info- I am quite literally on the app. ### 1/5 — Not useful *2024-04-30, version 2.4.65* Has no useful features besides trying to sell you products. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-01-19, version 2.4.63* The app doesn’t load my credit score, it simply shows a blank white screen. I have contacted them for assistance with this issue, but have yet to receive a reply. As this is the only reason that I downloaded the app, it is useless to me. I’m glad they offered a free trial as this service clearly isn’t worth paying for. ### 1/5 — Beta *2021-09-07, version 1.8.1* I downloaded the app it tried to set up a account and it told me that there still in a beta test. So seems like they wrote the other reviews their selves ### 2/5 — Recent reviews *2025-10-27* Sounds to good to be true!!! How come your reviews are only from 3 to 4 years ago? This screams red flag. ### 3/5 — Slightly misleading… *2022-01-15, version 2.4.2* Their ad on Insta says you can “earn cash back” when you pay rent, but it’s not really cash. It’s more like credit to be redeemed later once you actually PURCHASE a home using their realtors and lenders. The “cash” has no real value outside of their app. Got me excited and I believed they actually came up with a legitimate way to earn something back on the rent I pay every month 😒 ### 4/5 — Needs a little work *2022-02-18, version 2.4.6* Simple, easy to use, which I like. Unfortunately crashes if I try to move money from Gravy back to my bank account, and there’s no option to do this on a computer ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-03, version 2.5.1* I was shocked that little by little I was able to save some money hopefully I will figure out how to save more and faster ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can not re-add lease *2025-10-30, version 2.4.73* For months I’ve been trying to re-activate my lease in the app but there is an address disconnect error. I’ve notified support both by email and by chat — zero resolution and zero customer help. Great concept until something goes wrong on the backend and then good luck getting a human. I think ‘Bea’ is their AI customer support who doesn’t support. ### 5/5 — Rating the Gravy app *2022-12-06, version 2.4.40* Pretty awesome app. 💕🤙🏻✨ ### 5/5 — So easy. *2022-01-31, version 2.4.4* I’m loving Gravy so far. I just created my account a few months ago and I already have gotten almost a thousand dollars towards my down payment. It’s a no-brainer. So easy to set up and use and I love getting the emails telling me I’m getting more Gravy cash. ### 5/5 — Intuitive, easy savings. *2021-11-26, version 2.2.0* Gravy does a lot of things right. I love that you can be rewarded for paying your rent, and as someone with multiple bank accounts it’s also a huge plus that you’re able to set up multiple recurring auto deposits with their own customized settings. When setting my goal, the app asked questions like where I planned to buy and in what timeframe so that it could suggest an appropriate amount to save, and it also uses this to continue making suggestions about how to adjust my auto deposits so I can meet my goal on time. So far, so good. Love it! ### 5/5 — Wow! Gravy is legit *2021-08-24, version 1.5.8* All of a sudden I feel like I am on track to buy a house next year when my lease ends. Free and super fast/easy to set up and use so far. ### 5/5 — Great house savings tool *2021-08-20, version 1.4.4* Very pleased with the app. We were able to jump start our savings goal through Gravy perks offered in app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
