I've been using Digit for months and it's one of those products that I find myself regularly recommending. Saving money has been on autopilot, leaving me with far more cash set aside than would have otherwise. It's been easy, and even fun, to have my bank balance more top of mind (wow, weird to type that).
One of the things I really enjoyed about Digit was that it was nearly entirely SMS-based. I enjoyed that as the UI and getting a text pushed to me every day was the kind of experience I needed. Would love to hear from someone at Digit why they felt a native app was necessary and am looking forward to trying it out.
Hey @anthonymarnell, glad to hear your enjoying Digit so far!
We built the app for 2 primary reasons:
1. For people who wanted to visually see their money vs. it being in this nebulous SMS world.
2. To show people what Digit can do via custom keyboard vs. needing to remember different commands command line style.
That being said if pure SMS works for you than don't change a thing!

Hopefully and Android version is in the works, I've been using Digit quite a bit the past few months. Great service, for those who tend to spend recklessly sometimes :)
Congrats on the iPhone launch! I'm always amazed at how much Digit has been able to save for me, and I love that it's completely invisible and out of mind, which is something that's almost never said when it comes to personal finance...
@ebloch@philipamour These awesome finance/banking apps NEVER come to the UK. Is it a limitation in our banking system, or is it just a case of nobody has done it yet?

Been using Digit for over 2 years, and absolutely love it. Couldn't recommend it enough, as it has helped pay for concert tickets, mini-vacations to Chicago and so much more - without realizing you are really saving. I don't, however, understand this app at all or why it is necessary. I downloaded and immediately uninstalled. Was this created by the same folks who made the Quartz app?
@kevinreape LOL. It's not made by same folks as Quartz by with love by the folks at Digit :-)

However we did not build that app to replace SMS, it's a companion.

I'm a horrible budgeter and saver. Digit has completely taken my poor saving habits out of my control by automating withdrawals from my bank account based on my spending, and I can always opt to save more or less. I am a total Digit fangirl, though I've totally wiped my savings clean while preparing to move apartments. (And I still probably need to sell a kidney to afford housing in the bay area)

Ethan, Just downloaded the app. Great idea and UI. Have you thought about making widgets so finance blogs can show off how much money they saved each money thanks to Digit?

I love Digit but I wish it had more giphy rewards.
