Acorns: Invest Spare Change - Latest Quality Issues
Android
May 15, 2024
Only app I had that I couldn't get into after changing phone numbers. Every other app had the option to verify by email just in case something like this happens. Also the expense of your account is more than likely to be larger than your returns.

Unable to cash out, due to app inability to send payments to verify account

Thieves
No notice, emails, or active subscription showing in Apple account. But they charged me $5 every momth for over two years, withou any notice or receipts. Will be pursuing legal action to recover the money these thieves stole from me.

Concept is cool but their customer service is as useful as a winter coat in 120° weather. Been over 6 months since I emailed asking to close my account which they didnt do and they are still trying to charge me. Use Stash. Its far better than Acorns and their customer service is top notch unlike Acorns EDIT: Im not wasting my time calling yall. Just delete my account smh. The fact that yall are so self centered that yall expect people to call when yall dont do yall job just makes yall look even

Acorns has been holding my money hostage. I can't add to, use round ups, or even transfer my money out of Acorns because of their verification process. I've submitted bank statements, voided checks, the receipt I got for opening my main linked bank account, and done a three-way call between the bank and Acorns. None of it fixes the verification issue, and they just pay themselves with the interest on my money. Their CS just drags me in circles. Steer clear if you dont want problems.
