Acorns Reviews

I'm your above average millenial, almost 30 and still didn't have a savings worth anything, until now. It's a small buildup but put a few extra dollars here and there and after a year I promise you will feel every bit the value of this app. I'm super happy with where my account portfolio is at.

Not experience person, and I like that they take care of my investments, and they do it like so show me the statement and know where is my money so that part was really good. The only thing I don’t like to watch is one transfer the money takes a lot and I transfer from my checking account in Acorns and then transfer to my other account, and the money takes too long to arrive.

Investing & banking made super easy in one app. Better interest rate on savings than my brick & mortar bank. And the app is way easier to navigate & more thorough than my old bank. Money moves from checking to savings instantly with no penalties. It makes putting money up 2nd nature & you see it grow in real time.

If you are consistent and so not touch what you put in it is definitely worth the investment. In addition there are ways to shop and your money will be matched. Acorns is a great app, that keeps growing. I find it gives great results if you are not a seasoned investor. Thank you.

I’ve been with Acorns for many years now and I’ve never been unsatisfied. The few times I’ve needed to contact Customer Service have been an easy journey, with an excellent outcome. My account has grown steadily, and with the addition of the subscription model, and allowing me to pick my own stocks, etc., it’s only grown more. Everything about the app and site is easy and easily navigable. I’m glad I discovered them and I feel safe with my money in their hands.

Very informative. Any questions I have they answered, very easy to use. The open meeting forum was great.

Acorn has helped me save over $25k in just 6 years without noticing it.

Acorns closed my account on 10/15/2026 after I instructed the rep NOT to close it. Not only did she not respect and listen to my request - but she also split my refund into to 2 transactions!!!! I WILL NEVER RETURN AND DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS BOGUS COMPANY!!!! Go to Fidelity!!!!

Acorns has been a good tool for small investments for me. That said, I recently had 4 fraudulent withdrawals from my checking account with them. I immediately told them that these charges were fraudulent and not made by me. Instead, they looked at the charges and said they were accurate. I had used my Acorns debit card weeks before, and I believe that someone stole the card information and used it later to make these transactions. I would think twice about investing with a company that would not support its customers or believe them in a situation like this. As a result, I have moved all of my investments from Acorns.

Been using the app for years. It has been helpful a couple of times in emergencies to have money set aside. It's automatically deducted, and I love that Acorns will automatically pause deductions if your funding source gets low.

Acorns has helped me build wealth. Regular and disciplined investments in small amounts do make a difference, thanks to Acorns. Little acorns of investments do grow into mighty oaks. I just transfer a small amount every week and they just take care of investing it right.

Is really worth it for you and your love ones, for emergency budget and for your future. Peace on mind.

Although I’m not the most tech-savvy person, the user interface is simple enough that even I can navigate it. Even when I’ve needed customer support, the Acorns team have been courteous, helpful and professional.

This is a great app for a great service. I would recommend it to everyone. A great way to invest and save for the future.

I've been happy with ans impressed by Acorns from the beginning, from its layout and organization to the variety of options in investing and learning. I am now a Gold member and am stoked to continue to grow and learn.

The aim of helping people achieve/maintain financial wellness while also helping improve financial literacy has been really helpful for my whole family

It’s a simple great app for anyone. I started with Acorns with just spare change. I would recommend this app to anyone.

Acorns is a good starter investment company. Pretty easy to understand.

I really don’t have anything negative to say about this app. It works as it says it does. I mainly use it for my kids and grandkids. Just want to have something to help and to start their future.

This is a great opportunity for people to invest and no dollar is small for investing. Also so good for people even without stock experience.

Don’t Think you will get any good customer service when everything is scripted and AI. Zero help. They will take your money no problem but when you need it back get ready to be highly disappointed and a long wait. Sure they will take your money no problems but when you absolutely need it back get ******. Every time you talk to someone it’s 1 to 3 days…. Lies. No matter how long you wait the same bs. Don’t waste your time. Find a better business.

Acorns is easy and effective. It's very customizable and pretty easy to navigate. I've saved and earned a lot using this program. With a wee bit more effort on my part, I could earn even more! It's well worth a try.

I trust my money here. Wish I could invest more, but this is a great app and banking environment.

I really have enjoyed this app! They make it so easy to invest! I just set it and forget it. If I have needed to withdraw money, it comes very quickly after they sell my shares! Very easy to work with.

Please don't download this app. My kids had over $600 saved in their account and now they are older teens and we decided to get them a regular debit card. I closed the account and was told our money would be refunded in 3-5 business days. I called in a week later, (Still no money). They said to wait longer. Then I get an email saying they need my banking information. I reluctantly gave them this, and they said it would be another 3-5 business days. I have called 6 more times asking for a supervisor or any additional help and every person tells me the same thing. They will escalate my case to a supervisor and have them call me. No one ever does. Do not waste your time or money with this app. You will not get any money refunded to you. My next step is to see an attorney to help with this, which is extremely frustrating!

Best decision I ever made was putting my money in Acorn. It's easy to use especially if you know nothing about the stock market. Plus you can invest in Bitcoin with Acorn as well.

I am very pleased with the performance of my account.

Please take a chance on Acorns. You'll earn money without knowing. The system works in the background with every purchase and makes you some extra cash. This is only from roundups. They have a large interface, friendly, easy to use. Would recommend!

I don't even know how many years I've been using Acorns - at least 6-7. I recommend them to everyone who wants to try and save a little extra money here and there but struggles, because it just happens in the background.

Acorns has helped me save for retirement and also taught me how to invest. The platform is easy to use and has options which provide value.

Very user-friendly, and this account has not only helped me save more easily by using another path of retirement, but it has also bailed me out of a few jams over the years.

By far the worst bank/investment platform ever. They hold your money as long as they can. Their transfer times take the longest compared to any other platform. Their fees are the highest. Their direct deposits aren’t early. Biggest joke of a institution ever.

Acorns is so ** backwards. It is a completely online service, so one would expect expedited services. I attempted to deposit a check through the app. I accidently wrote "Only for mobile deposit at Acorns," instead of "For mobile deposit only at Acorns." I waited the 1-3 business days for this to process, only to discover that the check was rejected. I called and the customer service representative said that they would need to escalate this to the "team" that processes the checks and have them reach back out to me with the reason for the rejection ... in 1-3 business days. This call occurred on a Thursday or Friday ...

I would not recommend this company to anyone. I have a substantial Roth IRA with them and decided to transfer my account to another brokerage that offers better investment options and a stronger long-term track record. Instead of helping facilitate the transfer, they have made the process extremely difficult and frustrating.

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.
