Acorns: Invest Spare Change - Latest Quality Issues
Android

app keeps closing

Fraud - unauthorized subscription
I have used this app since 2015 and realized this evening that for over a year they have taken the liberty of taking money out of my account for a “subscription” that I never signed up for or gave the ok for. The whole point of this account was to have it automatically withdraw from an account and invest. The subscription withdraw looked similar to the weekly automatic withdraws I had setup so I didn't catch that they were doing this earlier. It's shady. I immediately closed my account. I no longer trust this app.

The app is good. There's a lot to it that's innovative. However, the "reward earning" on this app doesn't seem to work at all. I signed up to Survey Junkie under the idea I would get $15 invested into my account if I redeemed 500 points. I used the link for it, did as told, and it's been 7 days— nothing. It doesn't even indicate if it saw what you did. I tried contacting support, but the chat randomly quit. If this isn't intentional, this needs to be fixed. I'll change my rating when it does.

Had this app for about a yr and still don't understand it. Not real user friendly.

I haven't been able to log in for over a month. It keeps asking for my log in information. Once it confirms it, the app immediately sends me back to the log in page. I'm deleting the app and re-downloading to see if that helps because this has never been an issue before.

They don't even deserve 1 star that's only way it would let me post I wouldnt recommend acorns if your thinking don't. I've tried since to close my account and for them to stop charging my account I've contacted Acorns since Feb. And my bank and my bank has put a stop payment since Feb but they keeping changing the name so I got keep putting stop payment so do not download this app if not you probably have to go thru what I'm going thru

keeps taking money out of my account even though I've canceled my subscription

I have tried to send a check through their app. I've now call 4 different times to find out where my check is that I sent since the seller hasn't received the check I sent them. Each time I've been told to wait and then told me I should get an email with my tracking number. They didn't do that and now I'm having to fight the call center to get a manager or supervisor. I keep getting told no one is available and that I should just wait even though it's been 2 weeks since sending the check.

App is stuck in a log in loop. After I enter my verification code it just goes back to the log in screen.
