Stanford alums’ app Phia isn’t actually helping users save. Nor is it really promoting sustainability. AND it exploits user data.

Phoebe Gates' company is not fixing shopping.

They 1) are not incentivized to give you the best price on their app. 2) less sustainable than they appear. 3) collecting your data - to probably eventually sell it! Anyone here use Phia?
