Zusammenfassung

While users continue to praise the app for its user-friendly interface and the effortless "Round-Up" feature that helps beginners build savings habits, the overall sentiment has shifted negatively in recent months due to severe administrative issues. Recent feedback is dominated by complaints about predatory billing practices, including the inability to close accounts, continued charges after cancellation, and the unauthorized reactivation of automatic transfers. Additionally, users report frustration with unhelpful customer support and a referral program that frequently fails to pay out promised bonuses.

Vorteile:

  • Excellent user interface that simplifies investing for beginners.
  • "Round-Up" feature effectively automates passive savings without the user noticing.
  • Educational tools and videos are helpful for those new to the stock market.
  • Helps build financial discipline and consistent saving habits.
  • Visual tracking of investment growth is motivating for many users.

Nachteile:

  • Extremely difficult to cancel subscriptions or close accounts, with reports of "zombie" charges continuing after cancellation.
  • High monthly fees ($3-$12) disproportionately eat into returns for users with small balances.
  • Customer support is widely criticized for being unresponsive, unhelpful, or relying on automated loops.
  • Referral program is frequently described as deceptive, with many users failing to receive promised bonuses.
  • Aggressive verification processes (ID uploads, bank statements) often fail, locking users out of their funds for extended periods.
  • Unauthorized reactivation of automatic investments/transfers after users have explicitly turned them off.
  • Lack of beneficiary designations on checking/savings accounts, potentially causing legal issues (probate) for heirs.
  • Slow transfer times for withdrawals (up to 7-10 days) compared to industry standards.
