Update: despite all the issues i had at setup and with funds transfers, i now like the app, overall. I'm still not happy with how difficult they make everything. Everything from initial set up to their first attempted purchase has been difficult, to say the least. funds taken from my account but not in kids account for 9 days, despite showing posted. Customer service is overseas, so much noise you can't hear them. Getting through to cust service took 12 attempts and 3 hours.

New UI is terrible. I have been a customer for many years, i love greenlight and their app. The new updated UI is aweful. I can no longer access information on my kids accounts like i used to, it is complicated and unintuitive and there are glitches (example many buttons to send money on different tabs but only 1 actually works). There's a saying, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" that comes to mind here. I really hope that this UI issue gets resolved soon.

A pretty good platform for managing chores, odd-jobs, and money for the kids! Issues that prevent 5⭐️: * editing a chore has issues of closing the keyboard after every character * can't use the space bar slide to navigate text input fields. * no feature for a "job pool" for any child can pick up on a first-come-first-serve basis. I might switch up and try FamZoo to see how they are.
