The number one metric for most
\napps is user engagement. The more time you spend using the app; flinging birds,
\nplaying words with friends or updating your whereabouts, the more opportunity
\nthe producer of that app has to monetize you.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s ok if you are getting good
\nvalue, like Google. Their search engine is very efficient, takes little time,
\nand usually delivers information you want. But most apps aren\u2019t that way. Have
\nyou ever found yourself spending a few hours with an app when you only planned
\nto check in? Many apps take more than they give. Their success is dependent on
\ngetting more and more of your attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Raiz we think it should be the
\nopposite. Apps should free you to do more of what you really love to do. So
\ninstead of trying to increase \u201cuser engagement\u201d we have features like automatic
\nround ups, which allow you to save and invest in tiny increments without ever
\nchecking the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a popular investing tool when
\nyou do engage with Raiz you can see how your portfolio has performed;
\nunderstand how changes in market affect the value of your investing; and also
\nlearn about the power of regular savings and compounding. For more information on Raiz fees, click here<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
