Not working

This app is no longer working for me. Not sure why.

Straightforward and accessible

Straightforward and accessible way to put aside funds for important educational expenses

Great service

Great service quick and easy support team is amazing

Great App

Very user friendly UI. Easy to manipulate and read! Shows a lot of valuable data

Face Recognition

Does not work but finally after a year the app works I don’t have to log into my account threw a browser I can use the app now. So convenient and fast no issues so far just face recognition doesn’t work.

It crashes half the time

And don’t get me started on the over simplistic design of this app

Makes it easy

Easy to manage right at your fingertips

Easy to use... and easy to mess up

Be careful when contributing to more than one account during the same session. After you contribute to one, before you contribute to the next you need to UNCHECK the box for the first one. I didn't notice this app feature and ended up accidentally duplicating my contribution to the first account. After several phone calls I was able to stop payment, but was charged by both my bank and my 529 plan. It's an expensive mistake that is way too easy to make.

It’s OK

Yeah, it is an OK app. Nothing great, nothing bad. Just displays the numbers. Can’t even run a report to get some data. Wish state of Michigan explore different options

Start this now!

One of the best financial moves you can make for children and grandkids. Break the habit of the immediate gratification of elaborate gifts that end up in a garage sale or donated a few years later. Start it, build it, monitor it, and the kids will have a meaningful head-start to future education. Sets up easily !!!

Start early

Started too late but be sure to start early and save regularly. It really adds up and added advantage of not having to worry about being taxed.

Almost a good app

Transfers take up to a week or two, there is no way to see the transaction history in the app, and there is no way to tell if a payment is in process. Having an app the makes it easy to add money is nice, but right now it’s missing a bunch of features.

App Doesn't Always Work

This app could be so much better for a financial app. It seems to have problems opening and logging in often.

App is broken

The app no longer allows you to access and view your accounts. You have to go to the website instead.

Stopped Working after 3 years of contributions

I use this app to save for my daughter’s future education. I started the account 3 years ago but suddenly I’m unable to log in. The alert message just reads “READYSAVE529 Is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” That’s it. Can’t contribute or withdraw my funds. Please fix the app! I’ve tried deleting and restarting with no luck.

Buggy

The sign in no longer works. The app doesn’t remember you no matter how many times you change the setting, and the Face ID stopped working with the new version. Now the API connection with the universities isn’t working. I called and they just made the tuition payment manually over the phone. No attempt to fix.

Very few capabilities in the app

Less functionality, does not provide lot of options to select different funds. Show performance since inception. Does not have tool to comepare performance with S&P and Nasdaq

App not working

After opening the page and giving my state name it just simply says
“No supported 529 programs were found. Contact your 529 provider to learn what resources are available.”
No matter what you enter in the ‘Find your plan or state’ field it’s same message.
This issue happening from last two months. Restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled the app but no luck. This app sucks!
