1. [R14] Acorns 5/5 · US Great Investing App: Great investing app for beginners. Acorns makes saving and investing simple with automatic deposits and round-ups. The interface is easy to use, and it helps build good financial habits over time. A great choice for anyone starting their investment journey.
2. [R28] Acorns 4/5 · US I want more options: I love the simplicity & much about acorns I would like to see a few added options. I would like to be able to be able to invest in options contracts not just stocks for instance and I would like to be able to set notifications up for price action and stock movement & even be able to look at stock charts with technical indicators…. I believe customers having the option to keep
3. [R72] Qapital 5/5 · US Life-Changing: This app has been the tool that has enabled me to finally have some success in saving. The round-ups and the paycheck divvy has been so motivating. It motivates me to be more disciplined so that I can see those amounts increase. I get round ups for the bills I already pay so I pay myself while still paying my bills!
4. [R78] Qapital 5/5 · US The best savings app ever!: This app has been so helpful to me to save more than I have ever saved. It has helped me to save over 10k and that is more than I have ever saved. It also helps me with investing. I am so pleased at how this app has helped me to manage savings differently.
5. [R3] Acorns 3/5 · US Password never remembered: Having to reset my password and pin EVERY SINGLE TIME I attempt to log in is exactly why i’m done with this app. It helped with saving but I got so tired of having to reset my password over and over. Fix it.
6. [R25] Acorns 1/5 · US Too many pop-ups: Whenever I try to do something I get so many pop ups and questions. I've created a PIN multiple times, but it keeps forgetting it. It makes me set up a new one. There's so many bugs and glitches that I dont trust the app refrain further use.
7. [R66] Qapital 3/5 · US Hate the redesign: The latest update pushes entirely too many notifications for the invest account. They won’t let you turn this off and attempts to modify any settings crashes the app. The redesign has created more problems than benefits.
8. [R82] Qapital 5/5 · US Great and easy to use: Can’t beat the easy to use platform. Been using Qapital for years with great results.
9. [R19] Acorns 1/5 · US Worst bank and investment platform: They lie about early direct deposit times. Their transfers take longer than they state. They keep your money hostage as long as possible. The absolute worst scam app/bank/investment platform on the App Store.
10. [R41] Acorns 1/5 · US Worst Experience Ever: Lack of customer service. Customer service cannot answer basic questions nor provide assistance when requested. It’s always someone will email you back with 24 hours and then no one ever does. Huge disappointment and inconvenience.
11. [R67] Qapital 1/5 · US I’m furious: This app that I’ve used for a few years is majorly broken and they are not offering any explanations on their website. I CANNOT ACCESS MY MONEY. I will be calling a lawyer forth thing Monday. Do not download this.
12. [R111] Qapital 1/5 · US Constant connection issues: I hate to do this because I’ve loved this app for years, but something has happened within the last year or so that has resulted in my bank being disconnected more often than not. Many times I don’t get a notification or email about it so I am disconnected without knowing it and I go without saving. I am nowhere near my goals that I used to meet because of this. Each ti
13. [R59] Acorns 1/5 · US Takes $12 Monthly for the Investment Plan: This app doesn’t care if you save, because its model is to take your savings. It takes forever to gather a solid amount of $, and when you do the app’s investment plan takes $12 every month from the investments you “saved” (which turns into $144 every year for the company). Even if your balance is just $50, it will take $12 every month from your “saved”
14. [R73] Qapital 1/5 · US Cost: i just find it weird that this app is about helping people budget but cost money to use… like i get it but $6 dollars seems a little much for a app about budgeting and with the world now even $1 needs to be saved even the discontinued pennies…
15. [R103] Qapital 1/5 · US Not honest about pricing: Was getting charged $6 a month despite stopping my subscription through Apple subscriptions. Didn’t notice till double checking my bank account. They have a loophole where you have to cancel the subscription through the app. So shady and dishonest. Really frustrating.
16. [R87] Qapital 1/5 · US Bad service: I’m a new user and the customer service is bad because I’m having trouble withdrawing my money and customer support doesn’t answer me they need to have real agents answering messages and have a phone number available. Please contact me as soon as possible
17. [R119] Qapital 1/5 · US Beware: There is not alot of recourse when this bank takes your money. I’ve been trying for weeks to get my money back from them and it’s nothing but the run around. I would avoid at all costs. I’ve filed complaints with fdic and federal consumer protection bureau.
