Ratings and Reviews
Great app
We’ve been with Nimbl for around a year now and, aside from the clunky nature of the app itself, I think it’s fantastic. My kids are learning to manage their money effectively, I can set up my transfer for their pocket money and then forget about it so it saves me time too. It’s comforting to know they’re not carrying cash so they’re safer when out and about too, no fear of being short changed for one thing!
The app needs attention, it’s slow and regularly crashes, but it’s bearable.
Good app, a few suggested updates would make it great!
Works really well on my iPhone XR now all the latest updates applied like Face ID etc. However it would be nice to have the ability to write a small note when I transfer money to kids account like....”birthday money from Granny” or “for cleaning the car”. Sadly it just says “transfer from dad” without the ability to edit the message. Unless of course I’m just not finding this feature, which brings me to my second suggestion - provide a help button or user guide for the app in the settings menu. Surely this is a basic requirement of any app? This will earn 5 stars from me with these features added.
Developer Response ,
Hi,
Thanks for the review and your feedback. Attaching messages to transfers is something that we have planned in the near future.
Thanks

Great idea, few UI tweaks and optimisations are in order
The idea is great. One of the cheapest and simplest kids’ card providers out there.
That said, the app itself, with only a few simple optimisations, can be made much more user friendly. Users are nowadays spoilt with sleek fast reliable apps. Currently this app feels like a web page, not an app.
1) Almost every tap causes sever comms and hence the next screen opens slow. It’s a tiny amount of data! Just pre-fetch everything in the background and cache to be used on next app launch.
2) two many taps needed for even the simplest of operations, like transferring money off card.
3) remove useless information dialog boxes with one “OK” button on them like “transfer is complete”. User assumes that it’s complete a brief moment after they’ve tapped “transfer”. Only if extremely rare cases when it fails you need to tell them that it failed.
Try using apps of popular Fintech startups like Monzo and Revolut - you may get few ideas there.
