Latest Update - investED

Latest update is a game changer for financial literacy. The app was already helpful in learning about how the stock market works... without losing real $$. I’ve never seen a well-rounded stock market app like this. The update has an entire education section with articles & videos created by the company. Love it!!!! Can’t wait for the courses to come out.

Fresh design of app and worldwide play -2026

Hello support,

I think it is time for you to seek sponsors and off players the ability to play worldwide.

Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, $500, $1000, $2500, $5000 etc for payment to players

Allow players to withdraw to bank wire, routing and account number only. No social security info must be added.

Thank you.

Liars

They don’t actually complete payouts. Met the founders at college campus and supported from the beginning. Sad to see.

HORRIBLE!!

This app has so many bugs and glitches that you can’t even play the game. It’s distracting and annoying!! It has so much potential but they just can’t seem to get it right! I give this app a TERRIBLE RATING

Disappointing Changes

I used to enjoy Rapunzl because it offered real payouts, making it fun and rewarding to participate. Unfortunately, they’ve removed the payout feature, which was the main reason I (and many others) joined. Without the ability to earn anything tangible, it feels like the app has lost its unique value. The contests and stock investing simulations are fine, but there’s little incentive now beyond bragging rights. It’s disappointing to see a great concept take a step backward.
