1. [R1] E*TRADE 1/5 · US What a nightmare!: Since Good Friday, this app has turned into a nightmare. Pre-market and after-hours quotes no longer update properly. I can’t see movements in my watchlist or portfolio unless I open each individual stock. That’s simply unacceptable. It’s been weeks, and this still hasn’t been fixed. On top of that, the charts have significant delays. The lag is so bad that they’re no longer r
2. [R7] E*TRADE 1/5 · US UPDATE APP: Recently started having glitches. Please update the app and stay on top of it!
3. [R10] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Login issues: At least twice a month I am unable to log into my account on the app because it says an issue has occur when using Face ID or using my password. When I can login, the app is great, but I consistently unable to log into my account using Face ID or the password. Then the next day it will start working again. Please fix.
4. [R15] E*TRADE 3/5 · US Selective accounts freezing issues: I have different accounts under same log in. Alternatively at least account freezes. It is becoming headache. Called EtRade many times. They say they are aware of it. But they are not moving fast. I am really frustrated. Please help me.
5. [R4] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Slow and terrible user interface: Funds transferred over for transactions are placed on a 5 day hold - completely slowing and delaying trades. Terrible user interface. Clunky and buggy. Ancient tech.
6. [R13] E*TRADE 2/5 · US Meh: Would be better if it didn’t take 5 days for money to transfer in to account
7. [R31] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Its horrible, stick to Fidelity: Deposited money, waited a week for it to transfer, missed an investment opportunity, and then found out I couldn’t buy the ETF I wanted the way I expected. The app hides basic account features and the experience was frustrating from start to finish. Poor UI and navigation features make a bad thing worse. Stay away, do not download, and do not give them your money
8. [R43] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Customer insensitive: Etrade has been holding the funds which were supposed to be transferred in 3 days. It has not transferred in even 60 days. Customer service has no idea. There is no escalation or responsible authority to service . It feels like some kind of cash hoarding scam at this firm. Reaching to FINRA and SEC is next step.
9. [R33] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Badly design, poor customer service: Badly design, poor customer service
10. [R39] E*TRADE 2/5 · US Confusing and Flawed: Very difficult to find what you want here. Strange labels and bizarre setup. Plus most actions require you to visit the website. I’m sick and tired of apps being so pointless and weak that they steer you to their website.
11. [R12] E*TRADE 3/5 · US Fix Streaming Watchlists: 1. Quotes do not update. 2. After hours randomly shows either close, after hours only, or total day. Should only show total day.
12. [R16] E*TRADE 2/5 · US Doesn’t let me use streaming option: For whatever reason, the streaming for after hours doesn’t work anymore. I tried deleting and redownloading the app, nothing works. It’s making me hesitant to trade since using after hours can help make some decisions. Please fix your app and I’ll change back to 5 stars.
13. [R21] E*TRADE 3/5 · US What happened to total assets and day’s gain?: These two numbers SHOULD appear at the top of the app when opened. Instead, it just shows xxxxxx in place of the numbers and has done this for months. I have to use the website for this information now and it’s annoying.
14. [R25] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Balances: On the main dashboard, the balances are no longer correct after the latest app update. Tech support useless. No way to submit a ticket.
15. [R45] E*TRADE 1/5 · US Can’t see my investments: Sometimes I open the app and the account tab is completely blank. I can’t see what’s going on with my investments. I have to go manually login on the website instead. This app is so unreliable.
16. [R3] E*TRADE 3/5 · US App times out too often: Even though I have the timeout set to 4 hours, it times out after only a few minutes. This doesn’t happen on the Website. Also, the Website has features and data hard to find on the app. Usually, it’s better to use the Website on my phone than the app.
17. [R19] E*TRADE 2/5 · US Buggy and incomplete: - Go to an account, select a holding, then select trade to make a purchase, on the next screen the selected account is the wrong account. - There’s no obvious way to transfer funds between accounts. After a few minutes looking around I gave up and used the website.
18. [R35] E*TRADE 1/5 · US The Worst: The employees at ETrade are the slowest and worst I’ve ever seen and the app isn’t much better. They keep trying to steal the money from my dead daughter’s account and have been giving us the run around for months. Time for a lawsuit. Extremely disrespectful responses as well. They don’t care about you. Go elsewhere.
19. [R48] E*TRADE 1/5 · US They have no idea what they’re doing: I tried to open a business brokerage account and everyone I spoke to said different things! They just dragged me on for 2 weeks with different agents saying from “things are fine just wait” to “you need to submit this document…oh, wait, no you don’t” and ultimately someone on the backend rejecting the application. No one has any idea what is actually needed an
20. [R51] Robinhood 1/5 · US SCAMMER BEWARE: They tricked me into signing up for Robinhood gold by making a popup appear on my screen and signing me up when I accidentally clicked on it. They gave me a very hard time getting my$5 back, forcing me to accept a credit to my Robinhood account which won’t appear for 10 days and only then will I be able to transfer to my bank and wait another 5 days for to get the money back. This
21. [R55] Robinhood 5/5 · US Not bad: User-friendly, very little issues.
22. [R57] Robinhood 5/5 · US Easy to Use: Easy to use and understand my investments quickly.
23. [R58] Robinhood 1/5 · US 10 years later do NOT trust Robinhood with your money.: UPDATE: I responded to Robinhoods request for information and they told me to kick rocks. Delete your accounts. Guys as a 10 year long Robinhood user I will never recommend them again after being burned TWICE. they are not for serious investors or traders. They exist to skim your trades. They will wait for you to have a large active trade t
24. [R66] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Best experience ever: I love fidelity app, easy to manage, have a lot of options, you can create your watching list easy . I love it
25. [R68] Fidelity Investments 2/5 · US Keeps getting stuck!! Can’t sign in: The app keeps sending me a code to sign in but the app won’t move on to the page to put in the code. It just stays there on the send code page. Also before this it would not let me submit option orders. Also stays stuck on the order and never submits it
26. [R70] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Need a refresh button: There should be a way to refresh your account while you are looking at it. I log out then log back in to see the value of my stocks.
27. [R72] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Amazing: Great platform, excellent products, great app, excellent people too
28. [R80] Schwab Mobile 5/5 · US Schwab Mobile Works!: Easy directive trading and tracking.
29. [R81] Schwab Mobile 3/5 · US Lag: Quotes are not timely, leading to inaccurate pricing. I've already written a review, but it keeps popping up repeatedly. · translated
30. [R82] Schwab Mobile 1/5 · US Useless: Easily the most useless financial app I have. Can’t even get find information in the app ro it goes an error and says it doesn’t know any funds. What a joke. Old app at least led you to the website to get more info, this new app doesn’t give you that option which makes it useless other than only seeing your count balance. I’d guess anyone that works at Schwab doesn’t use their own app.
31. [R84] Schwab Mobile 3/5 · US After Hours Trading: Enjoying Schwab but we need to add extra hours onto our trading day Other platforms are doing it on popular stocks and etf’s. Schwab users should have access to that so not to be left behind
32. [R98] Acorns 1/5 · US They end up taking what you save: Beware of this app. I had money saved in my acorns account. If something changes with your subscription, they just end up taking the money that you saved in acorns. I contacted Customer Service and they basically said they could do nothing and this is normal procedure. I recommend you place your money and something that doesn’t require a subscription.
33. [R99] Acorns 5/5 · US Awesome: Great investment tool for all ages! If u want to teach or learn how investing works try it.
34. [R101] Acorns 5/5 · US Great investment app: Great investment app. Good for saving money, forgetting about it and letting it grow. A lot more budget friendly than other options too
35. [R102] Acorns 1/5 · US God Awful: If you cancel your subscription, they continue to charge you if you don’t use the app for long enough. I cancelled my subscription 3 months ago (confirmation emails saying it was cancelled and everything) and checked my bank statements for this past month and they charged me again!!! I regret giving these people my bank info, god only knows what they’re going to keep doing with it.
36. [R107] Webull 1/5 · US transfer: I made a transfer from my personal cash account to my bank account on Monday, and today, Thursday, it still hasn't gone through. I've always made the transfer in the morning, and by the afternoon of the same day, the money is already in my bank account.
37. [R108] Webull 5/5 · US Great app: No better app than Webull for self trading stocks .
38. [R109] Webull 3/5 · US App glitches: This app is good when it’s not glitching It needs to be fixed This is people’s money on the line I’ve lost money on trades cuz the app stops working It needs to be fixed
39. [R111] Webull 5/5 · US My Love: I left Etrade after 14 years because WeBull has 4am premarket availability. And WeBull is my love. They make things as easy as possible for US users: Instant Deposits & withdrawals, trading app ease of use, etc. But a few suggestions to WeBull, 1-The Quote (the real-time current price and percentage change) next to the ticker symbol on top of the page in the Turbo Trading option is wa
