Can't transfer money from the parents account back to there bank or card used. Also you can't control if the child adds a subscriptions to many games,apps or websites. This app was not thought about well when it comes to kids being irresponsible.

Customer feedback indicates a generally positive reception of the service. Many parents appreciate the ability to teach their children about finances in a practical way that traditional banking services do not offer for minors. However, some reviews highlight issues with customer support responsiveness and specific functionalities like blocking unauthorized transactions. While these concerns exist, they do not overshadow the overall effectiveness of the app in teaching financial literac

Was going to replace Greenlight because at sign up it told me a coparent could have their own access and fund the account. Many parents are divorced & no longer share any financial accounts, but are coparenting. The fact you don't allow them to add their own card to fund the parent account is incredibly limiting and short sighted. Anyone else can send them money from their personal account, but a coparent has to use the registered card (mine) on the account. This makes no sense. PLEASE FIX THIS
