Propel: EBT, SNAP, WIC, & more

This app is incredible we are a family of 7. It is so hard to keep track of how much you spent every time you go to the grocery store. I would try to save receipts and highlight things to keep organized but with all my kids and my ADHD it always felt impossible to achieve. I was always running out of our food stamps early every month. This app makes it so easy to Keep track of everything in the convenience of a nap. Then there’s this huge bonus that I never expected the app offers coupons that you can use at stores discounts that you can use it museums all these benefits I knew nothing about for my family and it’s all shown to you on this app. I am so grateful for whoever in the government came up with this app. Truly a blessing. Our summer might be a little different now thanks to this app. I highly recommend it for anyone receiving EBT benefits as not only will this allow you to maximize your benefits but you would be surprised about everything they have in here to help you along the way. They even have a job search with everything you can imagine if it is something you are looking for. Thanks again.

I've been using this app pretty much the entire year of 2017 so far it's pretty accurate & it gives all the last transactions & your balance immediately after you use it. The problem is that it keeps demanding a password change every so often & you can't leave it the same or use a previous password. I have had to change my password so many times that I'm now having to make up new passwords different than the 5 that I normally use. It's causing me to keep getting locked out after 3 tries & I have to start all over with my card number & birthday & social & everything. Once it gets to that point it's easier to just call the number because at least then all I have to enter is the card number. I do make a note of each password change but sometimes (like this time) it tells me the password is wrong when I know for sure that it's definitely right. The app has also been freezing a lot since the last update. I'm writing this review because I'm now locked out once again & my card is not with me so I won't be able to check my balance until later today which means I can really plan ahead & make a grocery list. In the mean time I'll look for a better app or just stick to the old way of calling & putting in the card number.

I’ve recently faced some major life challenges, some of which I conquered and others that admittedly knocked me down and out. I’ve never thought I’d need public assistance, so when life led me down a path from successful self employed business man to homeless with zero income and the hoards of people who always sought to be near me have all but vanished, it left me in a very dark place. I say all that because it helped me to appreciate the help provided by the state, and efforts to provide this help in an easy as possible way with things like this app. Going from homeless and hungry to just homeless, hey make glass is half full! The assistance provided food, which in turn provides an overall content feeling allowing a more peaceful and hopeful mind. The app just made all this that much better, by allowing you to check balance, history or purchases, as well as tips for saving and job opportunities too. It’s map of participating retailers and vendors is invaluable and I’ve never waited more than a few seconds for the app to update its information (in the few instances that it wasn’t already updated when I logged in). This may be the longest review of the app with saying the least about the actual app, but the state and county officials and workers that made this all possible need some kudos from time to time too. So thank you! Your work is appreciated. -Ryan, native Californian and humanitarian

Updated review: I used to use this app every single day. I live in PA and I use an iPhone 5S running 10.2.1 and it hasn't been working on my device for months. I've communicated a few times with the developers but they still have yet to repair the problem after all this time. I know the PA ebt portal wasn't working for a while but it seems to be working on my one friend's device again- just not mine. I can log into the connectebt website with no problems whatsoever so that tells me this is an issue on the app/developer end. I'm extremely disappointed to see the lack of a fix for this problem. Even when it was working, it never really fully functioned. The coupon section never loaded and the app was always a bit slow. So disappointed to finally be deleting this app after how immensely useful it used to be for me. I'm going to try a different developer's app and hope for better results. I do hope they manage to fix this someday- I know I can't be the only one using this kind of a device and having no luck with this app. Heads up to other people with older devices- this app likely won't work for you and seems to get little support from developers.

This app is very useful to me. Makes things a lot faster when I need to know my balance. All I have to do is open the app, and my balance is there. No dialing numbers and choosing options or listening to any irrelevant information. Simple and to the point. I have not had to change my password at all. The only reason an app would lock you out , is for security measures, because after multiple tries it thinks you are someone else trying to get into the account . If you have issues logging in , it could be a simple typographical error , such as a wrong letter or number on the keyboard . There is no app or software that will let you use the same password multiple times; that is a security feature . Security features keep our information from being stolen and keep us from being the victim of identity theft or robbery.
