★★★★ Erica C 6/14/2026 v7.28
Great when it actually works. It's pretty buggy and has been constantly crashing on my lately when I try to use it for the summary page. there's better apps out there that don't crash this much for keeping an eye on your credit and help you build/rebuild credit.
★★★★ Duane 6/14/2026 v7.28
The app closes as soon as the home page is loaded, making it unable to use.
★★★★ Sophie Wade 6/13/2026 v7.28
Doesn't load. everytime I'm on the profile section of the app it automatically closes every single time. I even uninstalled and redownloaded so I just gave up. smh
★★★★ Mr. J 6/13/2026

★★★★ Ria Swift 4/20/2026 v7.11.7
Impossible to navigate Impossible to navigate. Touching things and nothing changes.
★★★★ Kayla 4/17/2026 v7.25
I have used this app for years and it's no longer useful to me because of the changes and they want you to pay for everything. I used to be able to clearly see each credit score category and the grade (A, B, C, etc.). This helped me understand what I needed to work on. Now I have to search the entire app to even find anything useful, it's all advertisements. Very frustrating and I am switching to Credit Karma.
★★★★ Julianne B. 3/28/2026 v7.6

★★★★ Jason Centore 3/28/2026
Scam. phoney scores
★★★★ Corey Schelke 3/21/2026 v7.25
the spam from this app is constant, telling me "your credit score went up". then I would check it and it's the exact same.

★★★★ Donald McAllister 2/2/2026
oh this where brown fingers walked into my credit
★★★★ Eric Davis 1/22/2026 v7.8.1
Update the app so it's compatible with older phones! If I can't use an Credit Sesame app then I am not interested in an C.S. account.
★★★★ Corey Jarolik 1/4/2026 v7.22

★★★★★ Lori Silvia 6/13/2026 v7.28
its been a great app but all of a sudden it closes /crashes every time I try to open it right after my score opens.
★★★★★ mojrcy 5/29/2026 v7.27
False advertising!! I started the 7 day free trial because it advertised that I would be able to see all 3 scores, after agreeing to the trial, I still was only able to see my Transunion score and report. Now it wants me to skip trial and pay for Credit sesame + in order to view all 3 scores and reports. That's false advertising and you already had a class action lawsuit about this issue a few years back. That's very deceiving, please fix!!
★★★★★ Randy ALLEN 3/3/2026 v7.24.1
it sucks 😞
★★★★★ Brenda M Wheeler 1/29/2026 v5.20.1
Just started
★★★★★ Amanda Lee-Polzin 12/31/2025 v7.22
It says that if something is wrong on your profile to contact support yet I can't get a human being. All I get is an AI autobot and it only gives me certain options and none of the options have to do with the problem that I have which is that my last name is incorrect.
★★★★★ Robert Roland 11/28/2025 v7.21
it's an okay app. I hate the card. can't say that the app it's reliable when it comes to analyzing the pages that are two in one. it's disturbing when one side of a page interferes with the other side. not much info to fixing or gaining credit. just a dot notification and nothing else! I've stopped all deposits because it's been too difficult to transfer funds. how does anyone gain credit with this app?
