Robinhood - Free Stock Trading for Android
I would never have actually started investing without this app. I'm too cheap to pay a brokers fee because I'm investing so little. Pairing this with Stock trainer has allowed me to watch the market and begin to understand it enough, that I finally felt comfortable buying my first stocks. I've like the simplicity of the apps, and the alerts I get when my stocks move dramatically up or down.
Really responsive, I'd say it is the most stable mobile trading app out there. That said, there really isn't much depth to the app so why wouldn't it be stable compared to TD TOS mobile, which has futures,forex, and options. I'd be nice to see options and futures come to Robinhood...but after two years they still say they "would like to in the future". If you just trade stocks and use something else like Tradingview for charts, this works pretty well.
I can't transfer my money back into my bank ive tried and tried and now today it says I withdrew 35 more dollars from my bank back into robinhood. I just want all my money back into my bank and delete my account and get rid of the app. I'm terrible at investing I've tried to look into it and learn more but I guess I'm just to stupid for it. Anyway can you get the money back into my bank account please.
this worked fine until some time back and now I can't transfer money from my bank to Robinhood. the contact us section keeps eroring out and I can't even tell them what the problem is. It's free and you can expect a third class app and third class support.
GREAT APP ... HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Agents are very rude and have minimal knowledge. My suggestion would be to invest more into your customer service as serious investors are willing to pay small commissions to feel like they are an appreciated customer and not just a number.
I've been waiting for more than a month in trading days for verification, send numerous emails and got back generic response each and every time. In the end, I'm not sure its worth it. Nice concept, poorly optimized.
Streamlining the process of investment to help people get a head start on their financial futures is an incredible thing that this app allows for. While it is almost always a better idea to seek professional advice for large sum investments, the niche filled by this app has long been sought. Thank you so much to the robin hood team! Buy low sell high, everyone :)
The three day limit on this app, is said to protect small buyers. So when you do a fourth one you can't sell it. Which means you probably will get trapped into a stock and can not sell till next day. I'm top of that, you can not go short. You miss half the market this way, plus get . Your funds take extra time to get withdrawn, and it's frustrating all round. I would never recommend anyone using this app.
Super buggy. Couldn't even sign the agreement, I had to go to the website to do it. Then everytime to go to the help section, I get errors. On top of that, I referred a friend and neither of us received a free stock as promised.
Here I was about to try this app. Really wanted to but the city I live in is longer than 20 characters and therefore not okay. Sooo I can't even register.. Garbage
Poor customer service. Two weeks and my account hasnt been approved. They said it already was approved but that they had some glitch going on. My advise would be dont trust people like this with your social security and bank account.
Great for those of us who are still learning. Interface is well designed and I haven't had a glitch yet. The only problems I have is the "contact us" doesn't work.Thank you so far for a great opportunity.
Their "contact support" page is always down. They unlink my account be for the deadline of me being able to link it. Customer service sucks and the app doesn't function properly.
This is a good app. Except for the fact that you can't contact customer support. When you tried to do it through the app it just comes up with a server error so there's no way to contact customer service if there's a problem in your account... Be warned
I really love this app, just because of the simplicity but I would give it a 5 if the change the layout design more similar to the iOS version just because it looks much cleaner. Also, for the advanced traders it would be nice if they'd have an update that provides candlestick charts just the fact since the prices don't sell as what they are labeled as if it is delayed and I have to switch from TD Ameritrade "Think or Swim" platform and use their candlestick charts. I'm also a Robinhood Gold member and it could really help if they would give us that little extra tool. Other than that it's a very savvy app that makes trading the easiest thing in the world!
The app is amazing but im having a little problem with linking my bank account. When is asking me the personal questions that i have set up in my bank account after i put the answer on the last question ask it repit the same question over and over and it doesn't go trough, and then it give me an error. I need help witg that.
Nice UI and easy trading. Widget is a bit funky at times (have to enter pin twice to get to main screen after clicking on widget) but overall very nice.
I like this app so far they just need to dress it up a bit or add the ability to easy find penny stocks also have a section for long term investment like a separate portfolio for different purposes
Trying to submit a contact us constantly fails, desktop support is even worse. Talks a good talk but that is where it stops.
My account has been under review for months. The 'account' section of the app would not allow me to send a message. What is the problem with this app?
Its a pretty cool app. Easy to use. I've never got into the stock market but always wanted to. This is a great app for beginners. I started out with a small amount and within a day made a profit.
I liked the app. However I feel a report or hollistic view of portfolio can be provided either in mobile or web to check profits and loss over a period of time.
Good compliment to my existing IB account for market speculation. Could use some y axies (I know it looks prettier without) and additional stats such as trade volume
Giod platform, the free trades are nice. However it does occasionally glitch and prevent trades. Overall will save you money without commissions.
Trash. Took forever to verifiy account. Now account deposit disabled for some reason. Cant get help online and support showing error when sending message. Cant do a one time fund with a prepaid card. Pass
Works well the one problem is no numbers so you have to look else where to figure out a price to set up a limit buy.
This app is taking money from people and saying that you can't use you account anymore please no one use this app they will steal from you
The contact and help features don't work. Plus stock I purchased isn't showing up but I have trade confirmations of trade. It would be nice to be able to contact someone for answers
Having trouble finding any of the stocks I want to buy! Not sure why. So little info is available on how Robinhood works.
The app can't connect to customer support and the support when I did hear from them was a automated response followed by weeks so far of incognito from them. I have money that is in limbo because of this I'm not able to trade or use the money it's a quack app don't use it on oh I suggest you don't use it
I was funded and trading in less time than I expected. Very simple platform. I am kicking myself for not using this all along.
Great way to get into investing. Robinhood makes investing simple, easy and enjoyable. I'm addicted and constantly wanting to transfer more money and buy more stocks.
Great app, one of the only truely free investment apps. The free service is only limit to simple market orders, which is fine for someone just starting investing. This is not a day trading app
I've referred friends, and the app has not provided me with my promised rewards.
I left TD Ameritrade because this platform is so much better and easier to use . Especially the no fee on trade!
Great app especially for new traders wanting to start investing! My Portfolio is up 45% in a week!
I absolutely love this app. I just started going into stocks, and it's just going pretty well for me. Spend money to make money.
Bad customer support and no web base site only mobile. Take 2 days for any reponse.
Great app to start out in the stock market. No commission is the greatest thing ever.

It takes too long to transfer the money from accounts, which led to missed opportunities.
