Great App

It really works. I check Acorns every day as part of my routine. I am happy with the return.

Binding arbitration is evil

I started to sign up but stopped when I saw the user agreement which requires binding arbitration and robs you of your rights to sue.

Great way to save!

Great app to help save and earn as well!

Nice

Very nice apps am getting use to it quick

Online piggy bank that accumulates

I like this app it just takes the change from whenever I buy something and puts it in there and invests for me... Ive put in 140 of money that I didnt notice come out and now I have 190 so thats 50 extra from 2 months of pocket change

Good BUT

MAKE A NOTIFICATION CENTER WIDGET

Your pockets wont ever say ouch

I was wondering what Acorn was doing, operating in "the background," as I went about my daily routine. I checked in and am floored by how much "change" Acorn stored in the 3 weeks Ive joined. If youre reading this and you dont at least give this ouchless app a chance, look in the mirror and repeat this 3xs each morning you brush your teeth: "Stupid, stupid, stupid."

It asks for to much of your personal stuff

It wants your social security no? Which is illegal to ask in MA! And it wants access to my bank account! Not even going there! With a lot of online Fraud I hearing about, I not letting anybody or anyone near my $$$ access! I got a great financial broker I using (did my homework), but this app, wants to access your valuable information? Right!! Anybody want to buy some swamp land I got in Maine?

Set it and forget it

Ive been using it for several months now and Ive saved a few hundred dollars without even managing it. Super easy to use. Highly recommend!

Great app!

This is a great way to get into investing without having to think about it! Great UI, awesome idea, Ive set aside more money than I ever thought I would.

Simple and Cost efficient.

Dont like the jingle of change? Perfect. This app takes the change from your transactions and invests it for you. Whats not to love?

Found Money?

This new update featuring "Found Money" is creepy. I dont want to open up my investment account and be asked how I can have "brands" invest in me. This isnt a shopping app, and I hate that this new menu tab is always there. It makes me really reconsider what the hell kind of company Acorns wants to be and whether I feel comfortable investing in them. These gimmicks in hopes itll provide a quick payday is doing great damage to your own "brand".

Great app

Been using this for about 1.5 years, its helped me save 2.5k while earning a 3% return which so far better than any savings account.

Great way to get started

This is a great way to start saving money if it is something you struggle with. I do a small auto weekly deposit and its kind of fun checking the app and seeing how much I have saved, almost like a game. This is the kind of thing that gets a rookie like me interested in the market. You dont (at least I think) choose the exact stock you want. Instead, you select a type of portfolio, i.e. Aggressive or conservative. Im not savvy in this by any means but I want to be.

Hmm..

Whyd you guys remove the gains/losses percentage? Thats kinda lame.

Great

Its a great app which teaches you how to invest and save while you dont even realize it

Great App, Great Concept

I recommend to my friends all the time, it really is a great tool for set and forget investing. A great passive investing set for the masses, the app is great and looks great, and wish this firm continued success in building this out. Only recommendation is bring the fee component more central as part of the calculation even more transparently. I think as an investor Im fine with paying a fee for a service, but if you incorporate fees into the main screens or remind customers when they buy of the monthly fee and structure it will only serve to make customers appreciate that transparency. Its not hefty for the small investor, but if you set and forget you may lose track of the cost of investing too. Very important to get those reminders / have that awareness.

Amazing App

I have been using Acorn for about 8 months and I LOVE it!! Its incredible how quickly I am saving money. So simple to use and very easy to get your money when you need to withdraw. Highly recommend.

Excellent investment App.

The app is very easy to use and very convenient. However , it could have a few more investment choices to make it great.

So far so good

Easy mechanism for saving and investing.
