Simple Money Management

5
Starling's App has revolutionised my money management. I love the simple approach in that I can set multiple goals and manage my money in spaces within the app to save for specific items/events/scenarios. Notifications are very helpful in understanding where each other are spending on our joint account and confirming that transactions have been processed without needing to log in to the app Reviewed on: 7th December 2019
