You start with 100,000 in virtual cash and can buy or sell real publicly-listed stocks at nearly real-time market prices from NYSE, NASDAQ, and Borsa Istanbul.

What is UseFinLit?
UseFinLit is a microlearning iOS app that teaches investing and personal finance through 600+ one-minute lessons, a 100K virtual-cash simulator with nearly real-time NYSE, NASDAQ and Borsa Istanbul prices, and AI feedback on every simulated trade. It is free to start.
Is UseFinLit good for beginners?
Yes. UseFinLit’s 32 modules start from budgeting and saving fundamentals — no prior finance knowledge required — and progress to advanced topics like options strategies and portfolio theory. Each lesson takes about one minute, so beginners can build knowledge in small daily sessions without overwhelm.
Is UseFinLit like Duolingo for investing?
UseFinLit uses gamification mechanics common to language-learning apps — XP, streaks, badges, daily tasks, and leaderboards — but applied to finance education. The format is similar to Duolingo (bite-sized lessons + quizzes), while the content covers stocks, ETFs, bonds, options, crypto, taxes, and retirement planning instead of languages.
