Ratings and reviews

The app is decent, however, you're prompted to invite a friend, add an additional service, or add more money into Acorns every time you open the app which is annoying and for someone who has a significant amount, ridiculous to have to deal with. Additionally, I have put in $10,500 into the investment account, and after two months, I'm at $10,340. For auto-investing, not too impressed with their performance, but giving it 6 months to gain a better gauge. Keep you posted!

The navigation is really bad, and verification never works. I can't even cancel my subscription because of the incredibly flawed verification process. Everytime I put in my bank info to cancel my subscription, an unexplained error occurs. So I can't even do something should be as simple as cancel my account.

I've been using this app for 1.5year, mainly for my newborn son. I didn't have anything when I left for the real world at 18, and I was determined to make sure he had something. I must say I'm impress bc not only you can see it grow you can look a projection, change how much you want reoccurring, it auto stop recurring if you don't have the fund and start back up when you do. Everything is easy to navigate for me. I'd recommend it. Set a comfortable amount and forget it's there until time comes!
