►PRICE◄
Acorns costs $1 per month for accounts investing less than $5,000. After your account grows past $5,000, the fee switches to 0.25% per year (@$5,000 that’s about $1 a month). That’s like 3 semi-fancy cups of coffee (you know you do it) a year, just to invest in your future.
In order for Acorns to invest your spare change from purchases, which is part of why we charge $1 per month, you will need to connect a bank account. Worry not - we've got 256-bit encryption. That's a nerdy way of saying we're as secure as the people you bank with. Now, stop reading and get invested.

This app is amazing! I can't believe that they basically do everything for you as long as you invest your spare change and if you would like to add more money to invest! I got my wife to invest and also this coming Monday my mother wants to invest! I had my navy federal account for over 5yr and I am wondering if acorns can mandate it back that far? I love acorns and thank you for investing in my future!!!

i liked the app until i decided to unlink my card. but that didnt stop them from continuously pulling money from me. i even paused my investments. but they still tried pulling from me and now i have been charged an overdraft fee from my bank when this app pulled money, even though i basically stopped it. so very flawed if you ask me.

Ok, this app is designed to make small investments for you by rounding up purchases. That's great. It works fine. Trouble is when you go to file your taxes. TurboTax is going to force you to upgrade to a premier package ($59.99) in order to file the right forms for you. If you didn't make over $60.00 from your investments over the year, which isn't out of the question, you will be in the red overall after the expense of filing your taxes. I was really excited about this app up until this point. I may continue to use it, I may not, but I have to say I'm pretty dissappointed today.

In general, it seems like an ok app for beginning investors. Maybe even great for college students since it's free for them. What I can't stand about it is, it's a finance app that has no place to see transaction history nor currently pending transactions. For example, I made a withdraw. It's still pending which is normal, I'm still within the standard window. But, the only way I know I have a pending withdraw is because, 1) I remember doing it, and 2) I got a standard email telling me a withdraw has been initiated, this is how long it takes, if it wasn't you... But nothing in the app for me to see the status, when it completes, or even look at past completed transactions either.

Investing made easy round ups are cool. Easy to use I knew nothing about the stock market. Start with 20$ and learn how to use the app to adjust your portfolio or whatnot. Only thing is I wish they would allow you to choose how much you want to invest in each subject individually.

It's been over a month since I signed up. Continues to say my account will be active in 1-5 business days. Contacted customer support about issues with no response

Simple easy way to encourage yourself to save while letting your money work for you. Just make sure you invest a decent amount to start, or the 1 dollar a month in fees will eat away at your market gains early on.

Enjoyed the app at first. Had an issue and I emailed customer service. Received a very generic response and haven't heard back from them in weeks. No, thanks.

I invested with my debit card and things went fine at first. After not checking the app for several days I find that they want to verify my account. Said they made 2 small dep osits into my Bank account. By the time I realized they had made two deposits they had taken them back out. So now I am unable to verify my account. Funny thing is they have taken money out of my account every month no problem but when I go to withdraw it from the exact same card they said they can't do it because my account is not verified. They are trying to keep my money. Thieves! After finally letting loose of my money and depositing it into my funding source acorns decided for some unknown reason 2 put my email address where my first and last name should have been when depositing my money. For that reason the money was sent back to acorns who now once again refuse to give me my money meanwhile they're still charging me a fee every month. That's okay I'm about to get some legal Minds involved. I am here by updating my review. I would give them zero Stars if it would allow me to. Acorns is a fraud. they will steal your money and then act like they care. I've been trying to withdraw my money for almost 6 months now and it's always something else they have no problem taking the money out of your account or off of your card but ask him to put something back on it and it's like asking two-year-old to write an algorithm. If you're smart you will not invest with this company. I'm about to take it to the next level and I'm going to ruin acorns for good so do not put your money in them. Fair warning

Easy way of saving money....

Easy to use, easy to understand gateway to the world of investing. For people who like to "set it and forget it" type of investors. Choose from one of 7 different investment portfolios based on risk assessment. Not for the person who wants to micromanage and pick/choose individual stocks/bonds. Great tool for a hands off, casual investor or someone who is just getting started in the world of investing.
