I've been discussing investing with my 15 year old daughter, she showed me this. It's basically a Vanguard lifestyle portfolio with a greater of $1/month or 0.25% fee, which is waived for students, that allow you to invest your "spare change".
I'm not clear how you get them your "spare change", but if it gets a kid to make regular investments, it could be worth the fee.

I read about it a few months ago, but haven't looked into it in detail. Sounds like an interesting concept to get young people started with investing.

I thought the spare change came from the app investing your change from any transactions i.e. rounding up.
