We made the app after having friends and family members get ripped off by financial advisors. The purpose of the app is to teach others about low fee index fund investing. Thanks!

Don't get me wrong, but this is one of the worst product landing pages I've seen. Except for the short marketing line, there's NOTHING about the product there (why it exists, where does it work, how does it work, is it free, and so on), and it makes me NOT clicking that AppStore link for sure.
Sorry. We will work on improving it.
Why an app rather than a website? I don't want to read on something that small.
Indeed, why using a phone for index fund management?

You want to do that on a large screen in a quiet room.

How does the app accomplish this goal?

We have a discussion area and a leaderboard, plus you can build a simple index fund portfolio and track it inside the app. I hope this helps explain, thanks!
"and a leaderboard"

This is not the idea you are looking for...

You have identified a well known area of interest... but you are not solving a problem. If a problem can't be solved with conversation with a trusted friend or relative then it's a slim chance an app and leaderboard are the right answer.

> to teach others about low fee index fund investing.

I would love to use it or learn about index fund investing but there is no web-app or android app :(.

looks like something I'd enjoy. Looking for android version.
Working on it!
Hurry up! :)
