Cannot speak on the investment portion as I have just started but I definitely DO NOT recommend the cash high yield account. I had put money as an emergency in tere and when I went to actually use it with the debit card they provide you. They locked my account! I had to submit ID to verify myself which failed. They said it could take up to 2 business days to unlock my account! I cannot recommend their cash account because you can lose access to your money and they cannot unlock 🤦

Used this for a year. App worked great on Monday and on Tuesday without notice, they must have done an update, and now it doesn't work at all. It's incompatible with my phone. Mobile banking would lock me into updating the app, which of course, doesn't work! Banking on a desktop computer is useless to me. Immediately moving to another online bank for better rates and to be able to access my accounts on the go. Definitely would not recommend any longer.

The UX is great, I find it very intuitive. I also really enjoy playing with the estimates: how would my retirement age change if I bought a house, saved more money, etc. The app is *almost* gamified, and I notice that it subtly presents the idea I'm doing better than I am: adjusting the time frame for investment payback can dramatically change the the reported return rate on investments. All that being said, it's very easy, I think it gives a good overview, and is a good additional investment.
