  1. [R2] 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
  2. [R3] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US From Bernard Larson: The app no longer shows the details on each just the position. It shows the name, %gain or loss and total $$. I have to individually click each position to get
  3. [R4] 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
  4. [R10] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US App is useless: Won’t let you add banks through app. Have to use mail, which defeats the purpose.
  5. [R7] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US Recent Update sucks: Recent update forced mobile users to view purchases and sales into / out of core cash settlement funds. It’s made the transactions feed functionally useless, where every movement of money between accounts quadruplicate transactions. It was never like this until the recent update. On the Web interface, you can hide these unnecessary transactions. Also, the recent UI changes
  6. [R9] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Stop trying to make your app look like Robinhood: I chose Fidelity because I want a grown up brokerage. The app updates keep making it worse. I don’t need to see company logos, I need the portfolio positions rows to spill over into two lines. I need a compact view of relevant information that displays on a small phone screen.
  7. [R13] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US Mobile App feedback: UI is very unfriendly. Compared to other apps this is very disappointing. This needs to be upgraded like Charles Schwab, Robinhood etc Your mobile app is not responsive. Every page it hits takes few seconds to refresh and load the page contents. Making it more responsive is much desirable. Thanks
  8. [R12] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Functions and reporting: Please add an indicator or flag if a position has a stop loss or other condition on it so you can find it going down a list of holdings to see what is protected by a stop loss. App sticks and is very slow even after te-install and latest IOS and fidelity update, Slow to look up stock, stock symbol and price. Trailing stops on same trade ticket Sector reports compared
  9. [R21] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Disappointing: Alerts are often very slow. Streaming prices are mostly not streaming. Main page takes multiple pull downs to update.
  10. [R23] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Service: I can’t say enough great things about the service I get every time I’ve called Fidelity. Their representatives are not only personable and extremely knowledgeable, but they also go above and beyond my expectations every single time!! They help me understand my investments, make recommendations and give me options for whatever situation I need!! It’s so hard to find good customer service t
  11. [R41] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Investing !: I have trusted Fidelity with my investments since 1981 and they have managed my investments extremely well. The staff and my investment counselor are terrific. I am right on target to have more than sufficient income thought out my retirement. Planning and guidance with our team has been excellent. 👍🏻 to Fidelity.
  12. [R46] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US 24/7 professionals: I’ve had portfolios with Schwab and JPM as well as Fidelity for a number of years. They’ve always answered my questions and consistently perform as needed. They were the first to trade in dollars as well as shares. I know they have a lot of additional services to offer, but never push for more business. My wife has been pushing me to transfer what I have at the other broker
  13. [R47] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US Fix security measures: This is by far the worst Financial app I have ever used. I am routinely locked out of my account and it is always a hassle getting back in. The line you have to call is not helpful and often takes over 20 minutes just to resolve the issue.
  14. [R35] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Easy wealth building and management tool: I absolutely love this app it gives great educational information on trading and building wealth. Simplicity you can stick too
  15. [R92] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US My left arm: It helps me so much, I do so many things in this app. Love it. Sadly the subscription is quite expensive for me to move forward with it.
  16. [R94] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Used to be good: I normally review details about the stocks here. More recently, I have noticed a lot of crypto bro and/or biased perspective segments playing where normally they would have news or CEOs interviews. Additionally, the ads have increased as well so almost every other news story is an advertisement. Luckily, it says the word ad next to it.
  17. [R25] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US Constant trash: Constant fake false security alerts. False security check-ins that lock accounts. Not a single one prevented an attacker. Errors throughout the app
  18. [R27] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Login: The login is really annoying and takes a long time. Why does it have to log me in every time I open the app
  19. [R36] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US FACEID broke: FACEID broke you have to reenable it every login, please fix. Worked before last update
  20. [R100] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Glitches and more glitches: This is the most misleading app for price action. So many glitches specially after hours, right after close and in pre markets . Delete
  21. [R106] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Prices very inaccurate: portfolio is off by significant trends and dollars for some of my stocks compared to Schwab and dependable and unreliable. Don’t use it to trigger any trade.
  22. [R115] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Wildly Inaccurate: When I pull in multiple portfolios, it aggregates the information wildly inaccurate. I reported this issue several times and it continues to be a problem. For example, my current YTD performance shows over a 22 million dollar loss and 89% decline. In 5 days, it shows I lost over 145 million dollars for a 97% decline. Absolutely pointless.
  23. [R15] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Used To Love It, Now Ambivalent: I use the app all the time and have for...not going to admit how long, but there's more than one digit. And I still find it helpful...mostly. Recent updates to the UI removed or hid features I regularly use, such as individual position data (now very limited) and breakdown by purchase lots.
  24. [R18] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US PURCHASE INTO CORE ACCOUNT FIDELITY GOVERNMENT MONEY??: Why do you feel compelled to add a separate line item for “PURCHASE INTO CORE ACCOUNT FIDELITY GOVERNMENT MONEY”? When a divided or interest is paid. Of course the money is going into the core account, where else would it go? The web version does not clutter up the transactions with this, as it is obvious that the money goes into the core acc
