Acorns Reviews

The app, and website will not allow you to report fraud. The links don’t work and you have to call. Calling is a waste of 20+ minutes for them to send you a form to fill out. The form doesn’t have fraud listed as a reason for the dispute. At all. Someone stole $38.50 from my account. The amount of time I have had to put into this IS NOT WORTH $38.50. I will be canceling the account and I would HIGHLY recommend ANY other financial institution. They also would not give any reason as to why the amount of interest they deposited into the account was inaccurate. At my APR, I have received more money deposited into my account than they gave. Fighting that with them went nowhere as well. So the fraud is the last straw. DO NOT USE ACORNS unless you have time to deal with their garbage.

Their platform is flawed, transactions are painfully slow if they go through at all. Their customer service is trained to sincerely apologize yet they do nothing to help. Their rewards for signing up and new referrals is a scam that they never pay and unless you specify that you want to cancel your account and cancel monthly subscription as well you will continue being billed. How Acorns can be allowed to take money out of your bank after you close your account is the shadiest business practice and still going on.

After more than 5 years of roundups and monthly contributions, I had $1288 in my Acorns account and ~$450 in my later account. I was unhappy with the performance and decided I wanted to link another IRA and that was performing much better, and to transfer the funds from Acorns to the better performing IRA. In the process, Acorns gave me an error message that you can only link accounts that can fund your Acorns account. I planned on contacting Acorns about this on another day, but went ahead and paused the automatic contributions from my personal checking account. Today, there is an unauthorized fund transfer pending from my Acorns account to my personal checking account.

I’m very disappointed with Acorn Investment. They promised a referral incentive program, but after I met every requirement and provided proof by the deadline, they failed to uphold their end of the bargain. I brought in four new referrals—people they are now profiting from—yet I never received the promised reward. It feels like being scammed. Communication has been poor, and it’s frustrating to see a company not stand by their own promotional commitments. I will not be referring anyone else and hope they take responsibility for honoring their word.

Acorns is my safety net. I save a very small amount of money. Having unseen events happen, I'm able to take my money out thus they are there for me. Not being financial savvy, I trust acorns to invest my money knowing their employees are educated in the financial areas.

I love Acorns and the simplicity of investing, diversifying... Since I started it, the recurring investment makes it easy to not think about money you're using to gain, and the increase option and what you invest in, is easy to change, figure out, etc.

Very effective application. Just wish the transfer wouldn't take so long. Very workable application when you need some of your money to come out of your Roth IRA. It very good to use as a saving complimentary tool.

This is a simple way to save by investing minimum amounts that can add up to make a big difference. I love how easy it is to navigate the app and website. There are also ways to get small percentages invested on their behalf by making purchases through certain brands. This was a game changer for me on learning the importance of putting small amounts away to Invest or save for future emergencies.

I have been very happy with Acorns. Easy, automatic savings, and easy to withdraw when needed. I have been very happy with Acorns. Easy, automatic savings, and easy to withdraw when needed. I have been very happy with Acorns. Easy, automatic savings, and easy to withdraw when needed.

I have had Acorns for about 10 years now. It is so simple to set up and easy to use. The money quickly adds up and once in a while, I will check in and see that I have an extra $800 or so, which is great for an emergency fund. I have also set up the high-yield savings account and checking, just to stash more money away for the future.
