First time buyer - is the ‘Moneybox’ Mortgage Advice trustworthy?

Long time lurker, looking to buy my first home. I use Moneybox for savings / investment and saw this in their app.

where they help you get a mortgage with a bank, I think even a Mortgage in principle, and find you the best deal.

Before I go ahead, just wondered if a) anyones used them b) are they trustworthy or c) if you haven’t used it, any reason you can think why I shouldn’t?

any feedback welcome!

    @RoastPotatoes I've had a quick look and their mortgage broking team look like a pretty standard 'whole of market' (90+ lenders) regulated mortgage advice firm, so similar to those listed on the MSE mortgage broker page here 
    https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/mortgages/best-mortgages-cashback/#step3

    They appear to have good reviews on Trustpilot as well, so I can't really think of any reason why they wouldn't be 'trustworthy'.
