Helpful app but riddled with bugs. Constantly tells me I'm not connected to the internet, even though I am. I have to continuously dismiss it. It's been like this for at least a year. Also, the UI doesn't wire up properly. There are accessor paths instead of rendered values everywhere. A bit concerning. Hopefully the security side of the app is a bit more thorough.

provides enough information on the app (breach warnings) to facilitate information theft. last 4 of social, name and multiple phone numbers, address. it's not my info I'm seeing, but someone else's. they've doxxed numerous people with my same name in the alerts section. this is enough for access to numerous systems, cell carriers, for example. this is the publication of a data breach, and it's not okay.

Very good app for keeping up with your credit score and notifications on your credit. One feature of CreditWise that I really like in the credit simulator. It shows your credit score and the current factors that the score was based on. Then, it gives you the opposition to change various credit factors like paying off or paying down a card. or getting a new card or loan, or increasing your credit limit on a card. Then hit "simulate" and it shows how the changes you made would affect your score.
