Password Issue Fixed

The old issue where the password not accept on the app has been fixed.

Doesn’t Work

Tried to use for several weeks and get the same message that something is wrong with the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled multiple times and nothing works. Don’t bother.

Nonfunctional App

The App no longer functions. It doesn’t even progress to a logging screen. Deleting and reinstalling disk not resolve the problem.

Good but could be bettter

I like how user friendly and basic that the app is although I wish it had more detail of historical information. Such as historic contributions made per year and performance details. Performance shows the end of month balance using points on a chart but the account had reached a higher value mid-month and that info is lost unless I take screenshots.

Needs improvement

This app has basic functionality for checking account balance, and making contributions to your 529 accounts.

Where the fall down is the inability to save login information or save the Face ID.

The app will frequently require you to reapprove Face ID and login again.

The charts to show performance are very low quality and do not allow you to customize or look at returns over a longer period.

Great plan

The returns, low fees and ease of transactions makes this plan an absolute no brainer.

Needs significant improvements

The app needs a major overhaul. For 2026, this app operates as a 2016 version. Just the basics - Not natively built and directs to a web interface. The login experience is terrible. Remember me does not work and requires a full login, including MFA each time. What a massive pain. Zero actual ability to evaluate different investment options once actually in the app. Please take some inspiration from other financial apps like Fidelity and make this better!

Simple and perfect

All things you need are easily available with one or 2 push buttons. Love the app very user friendly.

App is no longer functional

As other reviews have said, the app doesn't work anymore. Tried deleting it and reinstalling, it still doesn't work.

It’s ok

Can’t see full performace history on the site/app. They changed companies and didn’t pull my history. Hard to see what actual growth is because it pulls what u contribute. This is the only way to get the upromise money I earned over 18 years with my eldest. is to use this acct. They were charging me more then I was making. Not as many tax benefits in California and can’t be used for private grade school. Just educate yourself on the product.

Ought to provide gift cards

READYSAVE529 ought to provide gift cards we could give the child when we make a contribution to his/her fund.

Way better than before

The app before worked but was harder to use - this one is great - simple and easy!

Accessibility

It doesn’t let me save my Face ID and password.

Good program, useless app

App doesn’t let you look at historical earnings - only a graph (not even a table) of total account balance - or even a chronological or filterable list of deposits. Can’t even download statements. These are extremely basic functions to be completely absent. Useless.

It works and it’s fine but

It’s easier to log in vs the website on your phone but I wish you could have more controls through the app

Easy, but lacks investment details

The app is easy to set up, use and fund. The downside is the dismal amount of investment details they provide. I know it’s not Schwab or Fidelity, but greater transparency would be appreciated. More detail please.

Really bad user interface and user experience

This app never remembers anything. You have to enter username and password every time even though it asks you to save Face ID. It has never ever worked for me once you exit out of app and log on next time. This needs to be fixed.

Won’t work properly

I have 2 different 529 accounts. One works on here. The other won’t load even though the website links to the app. I can only guess that the app only allows one 529 account. Not very helpful.

Initially worked, but not anymore.

Unfortunately, the APP is not functioning anymore despite deleting it and then reinstalling it.

My Children

I set up both my daughter’s accounts last month with an initial $10k each and $200 per month. This is the first month and lost over $77 on each. Not a good start.
