### 5/5 — Simple, clair et efficace

*2023-10-10*

October est une application intuitive, agréable à utiliser avec un design agréable. Au delà de ces aspects, la transparence et le niveau d’information présenté est réellement un atout car on sait comment notre portefeuille évolue à chaque investissement. C’est de loin la meilleure application pour investir simplement que j’ai eu à utiliser jusqu’à présent.

### 5/5 — Great service

*2020-12-27*

A complete set of options for investment across European small/medium businesses. It would take a while to spread investment across different sectors as new opportunities open up weekly. To an extent, it has been stress tested during COVID, with good community response, still yet to see, but so far doing well.  You should beware of investment risks and accept that some business will fail.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-09-16, version 1.1.6*

Great business, great app, great support

### 5/5 — Does what it needs to do!

*2016-11-16*

A nice app with a clean and lean interface. You can see the projects you want to lend to, get alerts and lend within the app. No more missing projects because I didn't get the email in time...
