awful!
Awful!! It worked fine for a while, with the cards not being accepted everywhere it was an inconvenience but something that could be overlooked. Now it deactivated a card, and have money stuck into it!! I recommend greenlight for your children!!
LOAD CARD
I have been waiting for over a week now for my money to load into my card
Great app except for widget
I’m a teen who’s using this app. I love it and feel like this ‘go at your own pace’ a great alternative to getting a weekly allowance for chores. there’s just one thing amongst me and my siblings: we do the chores all the time, we just forget to go into the app and mark them off. I thought that if there was a widget that i could add to my home screen then it would be a reminder to go do my chores and mark them off. It could either be something like a to-do list for chores, or how much money you have on your 3 accounts/your card. It could maybe be like one of those new lock screen widgets that way you’ll see it first thing when you open your phone. Anyways, there’s my two cents. I love the app and think y’all are doing great stuff, I just feel like a widget of some sort would add a lot to it.
I’ve tried them all
I’m not too sure why this one is coming in at 3.5 stars. I tried literally every chore / allowance app (15+) and this one was by far the cleanest and easiest to use. I had a couple of minor hiccups at the beginning and reached out via email and received a quick reply from a real person that resolved my issue immediately. I don’t typically leave ratings, but this app is underrated.
I like the app
Great app with one thing missing I would like to see added and that is the ability for the parent to lock and unlock the childrens cards. Other than that a great experience thus far
Do not do this
Before you even think about using this app check out the reviews on bbb. They stole my money and so many others.
Company was helpful when lost our stock
We had an issue with losing stock after we closed our account but the president directly messaged me and helped point us in the right direction. It was a cool feature the kids can buy stock and my son really liked it. Just make sure if you do close your account you take the right steps to protect your stock.
