App looks and feels great
“Downloaded hinder because I was spending way too much money ordering DoorDash after nights out. This has helped me curb this bad habit so much, just acting as an intervention before you trigger spend. … Saved me probably about 100 bucks a month.”
Truly exceptional app
“Having used on apps none actually have stopped me in the act just have told me that I’ve spent too much. Hinder is a must need for everyone with impulse spending issues”
Money spent became money saved!!
“This App helped me slow my spending on impulsive purchases and allowed me to save up for my trip to Japan!”
