I love the Betterment App and platform. So easy to use, and it's great for those that want to invest, but don't want to do all the work themselves. Comes with a fee, but returns outweighs it over time. My only gripe with it is that money you put in the Cash Reserve (Savings) takes forever to withdraw. Especially if you're planning on taking out a large amount. It'll take a whole week before you get your money. PayPal savings has similar rates, and withdrawals in half the time Betterment does.

It would be 5 stars for the yield on the savings account, ease of use and access. Unfortunately the bank they use in New York will not connect to pay my credit cards because it has the wrong length routing number or something. Multiple issues with this, and it wasn't a problem with the incorrect number as I have no issues with direct deposit or spending.

Good app for investing and has one of the highest APY around for savings accounts. Also worth mentioning is the ATM fee reimbursement (which also applies to ATMs overseas). A few things could be better: they don't allow for automatic bill payments from savings account and you can't set up recurring transfers from savings to checking, which means you have to make sure you transfer money into checking before a bill goes through. Those are standard features on competing apps.
