Moving forward I lcan invest with confidence within the app. Knowing I have such a strong support team behind me to answer any questions and or problems that might arise in the future. It’s a very interesting approach to investing and I look forward to get more familiar with the app and what it can offer.

We truly appreciate your sincere, honest review! Glad to hear our Customer Support Team helped resolve the initial account set up issues smoothly, and that it has helped ease some of the concerns you have about investing. That is so awesome to hear, and we're thankful for having you as a part of our growing community! -- FrankieThis app is great for the person who isn’t market savvy or who doesn’t want to spend an enormous amount of time researching different topics. The app is straight forward, simple, and makes it easy to automatically buy stock in the companies where you shop and spend most often. I love the ability to control when the deposit happens, how much money I’d like to invest per company, as well as a monthly spend limit if I need a break. It’s very easy to see it’s not a trading app but an investment app, which can cater to a decent sized audience with ranging goals.

Customization is key! We're glad to hear you've been utilizing all of our personalization features in order to make Grifin work for your exact investing needs, and that you've been enjoying Grifin. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a thorough review; we're proud to have you a part of our growing team! -- FrankieConsidering that I’m a college student I don’t make a lot of money and I enjoy this app because you’re putting your money to long term stocks so which means that whenever I put my money to stocks, they slowly grow and It does make money for me on the side and it does help out. The good thing about this app for the stocks is you don’t really need to pay attention all the time to the stocks that I buy and I feel like this is a safe app to use if you’re barely a beginner to get into stocks. I’ve recommended my other friends to get it and they all seem to like it.
I’ve been using this app for several years now and I’ve never had any issues. In fact, I am making money buying shares from companies I buy products and services from on a daily basis. Actually Griffin does the work for me, all I do is spend money and they take one dollar ($1) and invest it by purchasing shares of that specific company on my behalf. And that is awesome!!! Griffin provides a super easy way to understand the fluctuations of the stock values (up or down) and which companies are the top performers. You can also buy additional shares by using available cash or by transferring money from any of your linked bank accounts. Also If you need assistance, Griffin customer service team answers you right away via email. At least that’s how I’ve reached out to the them in the past and I have received assistance/solutions right away. I cannot suggest this app enough. I highly recommend it to any age group. It’s never to early to start buying and owning shares. Thank you to the Griffin team for developing this app.

We're happy to see that Grifin has been an easy way for your to invest automatically simply by going about your everyday spending/shopping, investing your money into the companies you believe in - the ones you understand and transact with often. Additionally, we're very glad to hear that our Customer Support team has been able to answer any questions you've had. We're very grateful to have you as a member of our growing community! -- FrankieI’ve written a review before, but writing another for the contest, which I think deserves another $250. ;)
The idea and the app used are both simple, yet effective. You don’t need all the nitty gritty insider secrets to know, you gotta make your money work for you, and investing where you shop is the gateway to doing just that. I always wanted to invest in companies like Apple or Adobe, but never had any money leftover after buying a new laptop or CS version, not to mention, I didn’t even know where to start. Imagine if Grifin had been around in 2007, when I bought my first MacBook Pro and iPhone…how much would those few bucks even be today?? Keep up the good work developers.

Thank you for the kind words and the review! We are happy to hear that you are able to use Grifin the way it is meant to be. We are always looking to improve and better the experience, so always look forward to any feedback. - Aaron, CEO.I’ve had Grifin for a few years now and the app has come a long way! There have been a few bugs, however, Grifin does a good job at relaying any technical issues and giving a timeline for resolution.
I love that I am able to make small investments in the companies I shop at. The ability to buy additional stock is also great for when you’re wanting more and financially able to make that jump. You’d be surprised how quickly your “investable cash” grows! I’m not heavy into stocks so I don’t check often, maybe every other week or less, and I am pleased with the ease of automation and investing made easy.
I highly recommend for anyone interested in stocks and those who are looking for a low-stakes way to get started. Why not have stock where you shop? Seems like a no-brainer to me! 🙂
I’ve been using the app for about six months. For less than $1000 I now own a very small piece of 66 companies to date. This app is a great way for a person with not a lot of capital to start investing in the stock market.
I’ve had very few issues with the app. When I have had issues the support was very quick to respond and resolve. I have no complaints or negatives to report. Give it a try, it’s easy to close your account and cash out if you don’t like it. My bet is you will enjoy investing as much as I have.
Love using this app only because I don’t have time and honestly don’t care enough about stock investing to be crazy about it. I like that my stock purchases are based on my spending habits. There have beeen issues with the software over the years but Griffin has improved since they first started. I have been using this app since 2021. Love that you can choose what businesses you want to invest in or refuse to invest in.
They have gotten better at recognizing businesses over the years for their ticker symbols. You can also submit requests for businesses ticker symbols if it isn’t in their vast list. If your not a super stock investor I think this is the best way to participate in stock investing without it being burdensome.

Thanks for leaving a review! CONGRATS, you were randomly selected as the winner of the $250 investable cash "Leave a Review" giveaway promotion that was sent on November 22nd. Please email me directly at frankie@grifin.com to confirm and claim your prize, and I'll get you sorted! -- FrankieI’ve been using the app for a couple years. At first it was cool. You get to buy stock where you spend your money. They let you pick the day of the week the money will be withdrawn from your account, then send an email before and after the purchase is made. You can even set the limit for how much you would like to purchase, starting with $1. That was working fine until my limit somehow got bumped to $2 or more per purchase and I couldn’t change it. I went from having weekly invest of about $18 to $94, without my permission. I tried to reset it, spoke to customer service, they claimed it was fixed. It wasn’t. That started in May of 2023 and here we are in November and it still has not been fixed. So each week I have to manually go in and “freeze” my purchases so I’m not charged a car note per month. Like I said, app is cool when it’s working right, but the customer service needs some serious help.

Hi there! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're always working to ensure that you and the rest of the community have a consistently improving Grifin experience. I want to help resolve your issue asap. Could you please email support@grifin.com and mention that Steven sent you? Doing so allows me to join in on the conversation and work to get your problem resolved as quickly as possible. Looking forward to speaking. - Steven, Product LeadI truly enjoy how simple and easy it is to begin investing into companies that I regularly purchase items from on a daily basis. Alongside of this ease, I can tell how much I have invested and see the overall performances of the companies at a quick glance. The anxiety of figuring out how much to put into a stock every week just leaves my mind as all I need to do is purchase anything from a specific company and begin growing my investments over the course of a year. Also setting a limit on how much I choose to automatically invest per week is very helpful in knowing I won’t put more money than I typically make from working.
