Product
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.
Does UseFinLit give investment advice?
No. UseFinLit is an educational tool. All trading inside the app is simulated and uses no real money. Lessons explain how investing works, but the app does not recommend specific securities or trading strategies for real-money decisions. For real investment decisions, consult a licensed financial advisor.
Is UseFinLit available on Android?
Currently UseFinLit is iOS-only and available on the US and Turkish App Stores. An Android version is planned.
