All it does is lose money. I initially added some, added a few round ups, and set a recurring payment for every month. It hasn’t made me a dime. It just keeps losing. Update: since their generic and completely unhelpful reply, I’ll share more results. It lost even more money (still) . I’m so glad […]

Pulls change for each purchase. You can set up recurring monthly payments to grow it faster. Except.. the money it pulls doesn’t come out immediately. It waits until its added up to $6-7 and then pulls it at once. 3-4 days after it checks your balance. So it has NO way of guaranteeing that your […]

I liked this app til I tried to get my money out. 3 months and I still don’t have it. I have emailed them several times and they just keep sending automated emails back. Update. They finally did get back to me. And resolved the issue. I received my money. Thank you acorns for that. […]

I was semi-pleased with this app despite one of my card’s purchases never showing up in round ups. Now I’m not pleased, really. You can’t do manual round ups anymore. Even going to the core account in the new app, I can’t see transactions in the last 10 days that I have made.i turned off […]

Been waiting weeks to get this app started, it took forever to get verified which is whatever and then I’m all excited to get started and then my transers have been on hold for a really long time. Will re-rate once it gets going but I’m not happy with this progress. update: I ended up […]

It would be great if suggestions or predictions were available. For instance, if you invest 25 a month it will be this in 40 years, but if you start investing 75 it could be this. Also, it would be great if multiple recurring deposits could be scheduled at different times of the month from different […]

Great app for saving but if you set your account to round up, it will take round ups from purchases made by AND ANY DEPOSITS that go into the account. They specify round ups as coming from purchases only which is not true at all. After that, you’ll have to wait for the funds to […]

Horrible. Very unclear hidden fees when I first started. Every time I tried to use their help center, it would delete the log and end the conversation if you didn’t keep the help center tab open. Meaning if they ask you a question about your account, you can’t open any other part of the app, […]

It looks good, and I think it’s a great way to make money over time. But I do have an issue. The whole point was to link your card for round ups, and you’re able to manually link your bank account with it instead. But for some reason, doing that doesn’t turn on round ups, […]

Makes you link your bank account then tells you what the monthly charge of using the app is but if you don’t want to pay that (and why would you when plenty of others do the same thing for free) you can’t go back to the previous page or get to another page to delete […]

started off like a good app, but since I started investing 7 years ago they hiked the price for the base level account 3x. and just in the past month or two they rewards on the base account by 35%, offering the previous reward amount ONLY if you pay 4x the monthly fee. (that’s a […]

I cancelled my subscription in Jan, received my last charge in Jan, but then 9 months later my checking account showed the subscription charge resumed again without any notice. Logged into the app and it still said my subscription cancelation was pending, but no options to do anything else. Had to contact support to cancel […]

The app interface is fine except for not working. Constantly getting stuck on a loading screen that never load. Accounts saying they are connected and then saying “Oops, try again later.” I’ve tried for 3 hours to get it to connect to investing, including disconnecting and relinking accounts, uninstalling the app, canceling and restarting the […]

Not great performance. I’ve been in for a little over 8 years, averaging less than 5% annual returns despite choosing high yield, high risk investment options. That includes the pandemic, but my IRA investments are doing much better than my Acorns account even through the same dip. Getting ready to pull the plug. I like […]

After spending a week with support trying to get my account set up for the first time, I ultimately decided that what the app offers isn’t right for me. The round-up ideology is marvel, sure, but at the same time, I could just as easily take $5 out of my account and invest it elsewhere […]

Had the rounding up and daily withdrawal both active. not once did it round up any purchase and the daily withdrawals were very sporadic and never increased my acorns account balance. Even after a few months of having this app and taking my money, my account stayed the exact same $20. So I cancelled my […]

Never using this again and will be cancelling my account. My card expired at the end of last month. Instead of making sure the card arrived before it expired, since it takes 14 days, the card was shipped late and I was left without a working card for seven days. Even after getting the card […]

Seemed great at first, but then I tried to open a checking account and it was all downhill from there. The ID and address verification system is broken. Email support just put me through a feedback loop for weeks, gaslighting me about whether I uploaded the necessary documents, which I did many times. And once […]

The round ups are really inconsistent. I linked my account and activated round ups and the weekly investment but the only consistent debit was the investment. When I checked on the app it showed it hadn’t updated activity in 5 months. I keep having to unlink and relink my account for the round ups to […]

It’s a decent app for what you get. The gold plan offers very little compared to Robinhood (and it’s more expensive), so if I had to do it over, Id choose them. very little stock and etf options all things considered. other apps just blow it out of the water with choices and control. the […]
