2025-01-26	Pa*****	I guess they don't actually want you to sign up. Tried to start a subscription with Google play and there was an error. Them tried with my card and I couldn't select the box to fill in my card number. Then I tried with my bank and plaid said there was an error. I don't have these issues with other apps/ investing apps.

2025-01-24	De*****	I really like it. So easy to understand. I had tried other investment app and they weren't easy to understand for me. I didn't not know how to do it and even hesitate to invest until I came upon this. Only 4 star because I never get any more than $1 on scratch off stock and I am starting to doubt about the $25 one. Also sometime it lag or slow down where I'd have to close and open the app.

2025-01-22	Ch*****	The app is ok but kind of messed up in that they tease you with "free stocks" but in order to unlock them you need to sign up for the paid subscription service. The tutorials are really useful for people new to investing but I would use this to learn about investing and then download something like Robinhood where you actually get to keep the stocks they give you. This app feels a little predatory and since I rejected the subscription it keeps crashing every time I try to open it now

2025-01-20	Un*****	Honestly, I was skeptical about Bloom. But after just an hour of going through as many lessons as I can, I feel confident I'll be able to better understand the market better. The lessons are engaging and easy to comprehend, and the video game factor holds my attention and motivates me to learn more for better rewards! Give it a shot if you wanna learn while having fun! 😁
