It was my daughters first ever account and she still uses it now. It is properly made to respect the child and provide all the features for an adult. Its almost as if Starling got parents and kids opinions when they made it. Wins for me every time! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

With 3 kids at different ages, I’ve recommended the app to lots of parents who have done similar. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
