Helps you take control of your budget and expenses, using machine learning to analyze your personal finances and help you make smart decisions about your money: from budgeting to saving to spending.
"The charts that this app provides can help you better understand when you spend money in a designated category. Enter your monthly payments into the app so that you have all your subscriptions in the same place." - Avery, KSU student
Sell your textbooks for more and buy for less. Kava allows you to connect with other students to beat the bookstores and online retailers. List your books in as little as 30 seconds using our barcode scanner, view prices on other sites using Kava's price comparison tool, receive or make payments securely with Venmo or Card.
