Contributions

This app needs either a tab or notification alert so that the user knows when some one contributes (the name) and the amount.

NYsave 529c site and app

This site and app are not user friendly. You can’t send a link for family members to contribute and you can’t easily see who has contributed or what was contributed. Really bad platform.

Buggy

Logging in with Face ID NEVER WORKS!

Minimalistic & Horrible UIUX

No wonder this app is as bad as all the other apps published by Ascensus, whose 401k tracking app doesn’t even let you log into your account, let alone view the account highlights. Absolutely pathetic design and practically useless info.

No features

Zero features, no ability to withdraw money, view performance, make changes to account weight. I’m sure the State paid a lot of money for this piece of junk

More performance

Would love for it to have our rate of return both ytd, 1 yr and total etc on app

Lack of visibility

The account has done well but I wish I could track the funds outside of the account. What are they comprised of?

Painful

Awful interface

Not what I thought this was

This is not what I thought It would be. I contribute a lot to the portfolio but it has only had two growth events last year. I can get faster growth with a bank cs or an insurance portfolio that has monthly growth

So easy to use!

Thanks for a great app that makes it so easy to contribute to my grandchildren’s future.

Great Program

Started the program from when my child was a toddler. Best automated decision to make.

Very basic app

Not much you can do with the app.

SC 529 Plan??

Not compatible with the SC Future Scholar 529 plan.

Decent app, doesn’t support API

The app itself is fine, but doesn’t support API integration into other software for monitoring (rocket money, quicken, etc.)

Needs modern interface and more updated and glitch-free financial summary

I’d previously submitted a very positive, 5-star review just 9 months ago for allowing me to make fast annual contribution to qualify for state tax benefit.

But now the app seems to display outdated and sometimes conflicting financial data for my state’s 529 plan. Further, it also display incorrect percentages of the cash and non-cash balances in my portfolio. I’m now lacking confidence in the accuracy and timelines of the financial data of my account.

No s&p 500 Fund

S&P500 is the best performing fund and its missing here not worth putting in this 529, look for other 529 account that offers S&P 500

Lost money

How the hell my child education is down after 8 months of contribution.

Lacks investment info

It would make this app a lot more useful if I could actually see how much and when I invested funds. Just completely useless in terms of tracking what’s gone into the account and when.

So far not impressed

The amount of money I invested has already decreased since putting it in there 2 weeks ago so that is definitely concerning and not a good look to me. I’m glad I haven’t set up recurring donations as I will not be continuing with this pathway if it’s going to be in the negative. The app has also requested to use Face ID to login multiple times and though I have hit for it to be allowed it has not worked yet.
