  • Wow!

    You did a great job with the latest version of the app. Can't wait to see what you do next.
  • Absolutely 0 control over your portfolio

    My brother used this for years and told me to get in on it, come to find out the Beanstox he used isn’t this app and is no longer on the App Store. This version gives you no control over your stock portfolio and renders itself useless.
  • “Lost” my money and account

    This service is horrible. Stay away at all costs. Everything worked great for a few months. About a week ago, my account suddenly showed a notification that it was “pending liquidation” after I had made no such request. It instructed me to “contact support” if I had questions, so I did. I received a generic reply that it was an “internal error and we’re working on fixing it.” The next day, my account shows $0 balance - no transaction history showing that shares have been sold, no transfer history saying that money has been withdrawn. Fast forward to a week later, my account still shows $0 balance, nothing has been fixed, and each time I email support, I’m given the same generic reply that “we’re working on fixing this right away. Rest assured your funds are still invested.” I have even emailed asking very specific questions like, “can you tell me when/how I can get my funds transferred back to my bank account and cancel my account?” Each time, these questions are completely avoided. There is no phone number to call and talk to a representative. It’s insane, like they’re holding my funds hostage and not allowing me access by claiming an “internal error”. I just want my money back. If there’s really an internal error affecting your customers’ ability to maintain their own investment accounts, you should not be taking over a week to fix it.

  • The forgot password link doesn’t load on phone or computer

    The default Strong Password through iPhone’s password manager didn’t save so I tried to reset the password. I got an email, but the link didn’t work on multiple devices. I like the idea and plan to use it, but can’t log in.
  • Investing Made Easy!

    I am loving Beanstox! You have created an incredibly easy and safe environment for anyone to start investing. If you are a beginner or seasoned vet, Beanstox is for you! I love it and now use it daily from my phone!
  • Great User Interface and Experience

    I downloaded this app based on a recommendation from a friend and really love it. This is a great way to make high returns with little investment experience! 10/10 suggest to people of all ages and time horizons!
  • BUGGY

    3 stars ....multiple error messages upon trying to link bank, add money (saying I have insufficient funds when I have multiple hundreds of dollars in my account) connecting to plaid is a pain... I’m hoping it’s just because it’s a new app under dev still but as of right now I’m not impressed... was looking forward to the concept hopefully they fix these issues soon. Maybe my opinion shall change when they do!

  • Great App!

    Love the concept, backed by Kevin O’Leary. Great for beginner investors and offers a bunch of cool settings! Has a lot of potential.
  • Goals based investing

    Goals based investing is how I would like to save and invest and the app has made this easy to do so each month. Easy to setup goals for saving or buying car. Good stuff
  • Easy set up and already investing

    As a new investor I was looking for an app that was easy to setup and I could start to invest now. This app made that process easy.
