Tell us what you think
Honest reactions are the most useful thing you can give us — including what didn't make sense.
Not sure what to say? These help most:
- Was anything confusing in the first minute?
- Did the Dashboard answer “how much can I spend?”
- Would you open this a few times a week?
- What one feature would make you use it every day?
