The only reason I have Vanguard, is through work, so I have no choice. They are always several days behind the market, and are always down. Always getting “Vanguard is down, try later.” Very, very frustrating. Poorly run app!! The 2.5 rating is a joke! It should be 0!Take your hard earned money and run […]
Reviews for Vanguard: Save, Invest, Retire

READ THE REVIEWS The app is super clunky, not user friendly. Vanguard has no difficulty taking money from your account, even after they have your money and you’ve verified your account they still have to “verify” your account; meaning you can deposit to vanguard all day, but you have to wait two weeks to withdrawal. […]
Unbelievably terrible. You don’t get any of the basic functions you would get on any other trading platform app the part that bothers me is you don’t even get real time stock prices there’s a literally a 15 or 30 minute delay so if you go to buy a stock it’ll execute at a totally […]
The new update is horrible. Within an account you can’t see the realized gains (in process transactions). You are also not able to view details or edit limit orders in process. So if you want to verify your limit sale price you have to find a PC to verify. You can cancel a limit order […]
Vanguard….please make a better app. This is without a doubt the worst trading app out there. You can’t trade options in it, you don’t get real time quotes, you have to login with a password for each sell/buy action. Seriously, who are they targeting here? The only thing this is good for is checking the […]
I opened an account 6 months ago, I had a Vanguard account many years ago, before apps were developed. This Vanguard format is not satisfactory for me, it’s missing info I use daily, and doesn’t format stock performance over time periods, I’m very disappointed in the app. I have investment accounts at Robinhood and Ally […]
Very difficult to use . It feels like a HTML page with all it’s text links and small fonts. It’s also a challenge log in every time. I have to reset my password almost every month since it keeps telling me I’m locked out. I rarely log in to my account but somehow I keep […]
Horrid UI. I haven’t had this on my phone for over a year so there’s been some changes. This new version is stunningly bad. I actually have trouble looking up the price of a stock or ETF. Fundamentally, you have failed your first objective of providing people the means to buy and sell through a […]
New app version is really bad. Navigation is harder and less intuitive, the old app had a great snapshot and menu on the left. Most of my money is in a trust account. Oops, can’t see those account types on the app. Basically, I can only see part of my account and that part is […]
Every single time I launch the app it says “there’s a new version available” and then forces me to go to the play store before I can actually open the app. Mistakes happen, but it’s been like this for ages. Come on guys, you should be shooting for frequent, small, stable releases. No excuse for […]
As others have said, this app makes you log off (or sit uselessly on blank screen if you choose “stay”) the first time you log on. This definitely happens if you don’t actually log off the time previous, and perhaps occasionally even if you did. Please fix this app! Also not enough performance info and […]
I do like that the layout is simpler than the website, but I find it difficult to do exchanges or possible on the app. I love sites that redirect me to the website for login so if it’s saved I don’t have to remember passwords. But over the last week it keeps closing on me […]
Literally the worst app available. It simply doesn’t work and on the rare occasions that you can login to the app, it crashes and goes off. Other times when you put in your credentials it just spins and doesn’t go to the website. It’s a complete joke. Not very reassuring to have a financial account […]
It is okay for looking at investment returns. It was much easier to use in the past. It does buggy things at times. With the last update, the app crashes the first time i attempt to log on but works the second time. It does this every time. After i quit the app, i still […]
What happened to this app?! Why am I being redirected to a mobile browser page to log in? The app itself should handle logins. Would be bad enough if it worked. But the redirect back to the app never completes. You’re just stuck. This is crazy. You literally can’t login. Or else it takes multiple […]
The app seriously makes me consider moving everything into my Fidelity accounts. They don’t even have dark mode which is the tip of the iceberg. The displayed information is difficult to navigate and is mostly not even good, useful data. If I want to know how much I paid for a stock, good luck finding […]
decent app when it works..It crashes multiple times per day and gets annoying pretty quick. Takes me about 3-4 times of crashing and logging in before the app is functionable. That’s if I can even log in. Some days I give up after 4 log in attempts and crashes. As of 8/16/25 not much has […]
Mostly I manage my accounts from a laptop logging in with Firefox. When I’ve taken rollover checks from Fidelity, I’ve used this app to speed deposit. This last time though … try to log in got to retrieve a code from messaging app, come back to put it in only to find I’ve been sent […]
I used this app for a year. Constant crashes upon login and basic navigation. Endless confirmation screens and trying to make time sensitive trades is a total headache. Today it failed to execute a market sell order and cost me a few thousand dollars when the stock dropped, and I only found out 2 hours […]
The app is crashing when signing in. Based on other reviews it’s happening to everyone else as well. A client owned business like Vanguard should be able to fix this issue in a short amount of time. literally get a junior level developer and have him debug the issue and he’ll fix it in no […]
