I love the "spaces"! I used to have envelopes in my diary and put cash in and then spend it. I can see everything I'm doing and it's a fun app! Service team are great too. 10/10. I'm always recommending Starling. Please can we have some more app pics/logos rather than just football and rainbows. Thank you Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
