Acorns: Invest Spare Change - Latest Quality Issues
iOS

Family
Great App for Families, But Needs More Inclusive Features I love that Acorns focuses on family and long-term investing, but I'd love to see more flexibility when it comes to account management for couples. Currently, I can't add my wife to co-manage our kids' investment accounts, nor can I set up a Roth IRA for her within a joint family account. It would be a game-changer if Acorns introduced a feature that allows spouses to link accounts, giving both partners access to manage family investments seamlessly. This would make it truly inclusive and convenient for families looking to build wealth together. Hope to see this in a future update! And please compensate $ me for the idea.

Poor investment experience. 4 different tiers of subscription levels just to give them your money to play with. Extremely long wait periods for any transfers and most annoying part is they'll force you into paying another month while every cent clears your account. Some free apps provide far more assistance saving/investing, and they actually treat you like a valued user since you are trusting them with your money (chime) is on that comes to mind.

Scammed out of referral bonus over and over
I hate acorns. Their customer service is a joke, it's insulting how little they try. I'm so mad right now I'm going to have to come back to express myself better.

Nothing more than a no interest savings account. After a couple months I've paid as much in fees as the return on investment.....which is less than 1%. The only reason I gave up to 2 stars is because it's a way to save without really thinking about it.

Will lock accounts. You sign a contract that forbids lawsuits. They will arbitrarily decide to lock your account for totally reasonably acceptable fund transfers. Customer service is near non existent. Their answer at the end of this review is disingenuous. They ask you to give information that cries scam that I wouldn't do under most circumstances. Then my other bank has security measures that prevent me from doing what they ask. For security purposes. So, they say "3 days"(constantly)
