6. [R55] 5/5 · US Transformative: This app has literally done as much to contribute to my future wealth as my 401k itself! Schwab has made the process of researching, investing and monitoring investments easy, immediate, and efficient! Without such a user friendly option, I know I would have never achieved the same results… Thank you Schwab!!
7. [R12] 5/5 · US App: Exelent and very friendly and fast service
8. [R32] 5/5 · US Great app: Is not like Robinhoo they have costumers service
9. [R35] 5/5 · US Best Brokerage House EVER!: Charles Schwab has the very best customer service and knowledgeable staff
10. [R24] 5/5 · US Can’t be beat!: I’ve traded with Schwab since the acquisition of TD America. I am frequently recommending Schwab to anyone I know who expresses a desire to acquire or sell stocks, ETFs or mutual funds. Very cost-effective!
11. [R52] 5/5 · US Educational: It’s taken awhile but I’m getting more familiar with how it covers so much info.
12. [R62] 5/5 · US USER FRIENDLY APP: This app is great. Search no more. So many tools available and very practical to learn. Makes trading super simple.
13. [R65] 5/5 · US A Level Above: Great lessons and control, lots of features, great for first time investors, strongly appreciated data and feedback of maintenance. I have transformed my life, coming from a financially illiterate family it has placed me on a solid path in life even learning in a post pandemic environment. I am still in school and it has allowed me to increase my studies, I am grateful to not only
14. [R37] 1/5 · US Easily the worst app ever: I have the Robinhood app which never has issues. But this app has so many issues, it’s hard to know where to start. The most frustrating has to be when you are logged on and get ready to make a trade and then you get an error message and have to logout and log back in. I’ve lost money a number of times this way. So beware if you are day trading. Also, half the time
15. [R54] 2/5 · US App not always reliable: Their app frequently freezes. You may not realize it until you note no changes for a few minutes and have to quickly switch to the internet login. If you’re a frequent trader this can be costly.
16. [R70] 1/5 · US Unable to Login: I am unable to use the app because it won’t let me login. On a computer there is no problem. I have deleted the app and reloaded it several times and called customer service. Schwab Customer service says that they are working on the issue, but this is been going on for several months at this point. It’s REALLY frustrating that I am no longer able to use my phone app. This is a hu
17. [R96] 1/5 · US I almost love this app: This app has been failing often
18. [R16] 4/5 · US Real time quotes lag/Level 2: Real time quotes seem to lag. Miss Ameritrade’s Level 2.
19. [R27] 2/5 · US Inaccurate: My account for yesterday shows loss of >$39,000 when it should show gain of >$600. This has been going on for the last 5 hours. What’s the problem?
20. [R31] 3/5 · US Incorrect dividend display: Lately I see the dividend forecast is incorrect. Deviation is more than 40%.
21. [R82] 2/5 · US Glitchy, Unreliable: Title says it: App is not infrequently down for both scheduled as well as unscheduled maintenance. Bugs seem common, especially with stock issues that are rarely traded on the “normal” U.S. exchanges. Stock prices may show values which don’t add up to the correct net account value, especially the unusual ones referred to above. Schwab also seems to place little to no value
22. [R8] 1/5 · US On Goal: Cant find on goal slider anymore to calculate monthly withdrawal.
23. [R14] 3/5 · US Stock slices removed: Please add back stock slices. Having to manually put in 15 orders is not easier than what stock slices provided.
24. [R23] 3/5 · US Missing a few important features: updated app doesn’t have %of asset in account display. Need to have condensed view for small screen
25. [R29] 5/5 · US Great app: Easy to use, and recent improvements have been great. Wish the stock slices option would make a comeback though!
26. [R17] 1/5 · US Complicated: It's too complicated
27. [R26] 3/5 · US Rethink user interface: Not well laid out interface. Usability is ok at best. Need to rethink presentation to customer - also tying to add a nickname to submit review - way to cumbersome
28. [R99] 1/5 · US Outdated and bloated: Biggest yet the most ridiculously non intuitive brokerage . Take chapter from Webull
29. [R132] 2/5 · US App usability not great: App usability not great
30. [R11] 1/5 · US No deposited: They don’t let you deposit cash into your accounts (even the checking accounts). They say it’s because they aren’t a bank, but if you notice, when they email you, they leave this: “Thank you for choosing Charles Schwab Bank.” What kind of bank can’t decide whether or not it is one and doesn’t allow you to make deposits?
31. [R15] 3/5 · US Individually targeted: I’ve tried to transfer money from bank to bank and there have been times that I’ve been in severe need and Charles Schwab insured that I would not find success. I was in California needing a hotel they would not accept a transfer within the same business day. I was unable to get a hotel a hotel I had to sleep in my car as a result. They’re friendly and professional, but if y
32. [R134] 2/5 · US Solid platform but funding is painfully slow compared to Robinhood: I’ve been using the Schwab Investing app for a while now for my brokerage account. Overall, the research tools, thinkorswim integration (on desktop), and reliability are strong for long-term investing. But the mobile funding experience is a major letdown. There’s no instant direct deposit option (even for a fee), and no fast trans
33. [R180] 3/5 · US Money Transfer Delays: Love everything about this app except the fact that it takes a long time to get money transferred. I put an ACH Money Transfer in on Thursday morning for a stock opening on Friday. I couldn’t buy until Tuesday. By time I could buy the stock had jumped up 60 dollars. Why does it take so long. When I send another ACH it only takes 24 hours to clear. Well since I missed the win
34. [R47] 1/5 · US Stop asking: I gave it a 1 because it wouldn’t stop asking for a rating
35. [R51] 5/5 · US Once a year: Asking to write a review once a year is enough
36. [R53] 5/5 · US Stop messaging me: Stop
37. [R61] 2/5 · US Keep asking for feedback: They keep asking for feedback, I should be able to say no without being harassed every time I use the app. So here is your feedback
38. [R10] 1/5 · US Glitz: Lot of glitz where is the business news feed
39. [R25] 4/5 · US I only use the Schwab app.: I only use the Schwab app because to me is easy to read and easy to understand. But not ideal for trading as there is just more information on thinkorswim. However, I find the sink or swim app to be rather difficult with small print and just harder for me to use. also the reason I gave the Schwab four stars is that it doesn’t seem as quick with price action as thinkorsw
40. [R36] 4/5 · US Needs better charts and XRP: Need better charts for trading but overall good platform. Feels safe. Need access to XRP
41. [R40] 4/5 · US Does what I need: App is a stripped down version of the web site. Some things must be done on the web. For a quick, convenient look or a simple trade it's perfect. I use it for 90% of my Schwab interactions.
42. [R3] 4/5 · US Needs: Need a way to build a stock searcher
43. [R5] 5/5 · US Research - run 1 personal stk query: If full functionality of stock queries is too much allow submission of 1 personally set up query
44. [R79] 3/5 · US Wires: I’ve tried to wire funds to family members and half have been cancelled with no explanation, no alert.
45. [R101] 1/5 · US Need to refresh all the time: I miss TD Ameritrade. The price showing is not the current price. I have to keep refreshing the Apps in order to see current price, that cause me a hard time to set up the limit order that I want. Apps keep log out itself. I lost a lot of money in this apps!!!!!
46. [R108] 1/5 · US Not for trading: As soon as you open the app, a streaming not available notification appears, you have to pull down to refresh the app and get streaming to work. then after ten minutes of being signed in you’ll get an error message that forces you to close the app and restart it again. Very annoying, half of the time you don’t know if you are getting current prices for the stock you’re buying. Not
47. [R188] 1/5 · US Delayed prices, chart: It is not real time. Sometimes there is significant delay.
