  • Love it!!!

    Nice to not have to think about investing. It just occurs automatically and with the businesses I frequent so I know they are worthy. My only complaint is my wife uses our credit card too much and sometimes my “investment” is more than anticipated! 😂. But I know she’s saving us a ton of money taking advantage of all those “sales”.

    That's too funny! Sounds like she's doing a great job saving you money! Glad you are enjoying using the app so much. Thank you for the kind review! - Aaron, CEO.
  • Super Simple investing App

    Look, why anyone would rate this app less than 5 stars is silly. It provides exactly what is needed - an interface for micro-investing. It’s got the essentials involved with that: how much is already invested, available to invest, additional options for investing. If you’re looking for something more detailed…you don’t understand the assignment.

  • Super easy to use, set and forget

    Super simple to set up and link to your bank, and good communication around timing of investments etc means you can make changes to or cancel an investment if wanted. It’s an easy way to make small investments that build over time. Would love the ability to link more banks or cards.

  • Loving this app

    I really am enjoying this app. I’m investing in places I already spend my money and have complete control over how much or how little I want to contribute. I did have a little issue with my deposit screen disappearing, but the support team fixed it quickly. Easy to navigate and to understand.

  • Great App for a Stock Novice

    I have no clue when it comes to stocks. I don’t have time to check on them either. When I saw this App and the simplicity, I thought I’d try it out.
    To my surprise, it is incredibly simple to use and everything is laid out in plain English.
    I’ve read some of the reviews and it seems that the developers have listened to suggestions.
    I am able to add multiple cards and I am able to control the amount I want to invest (I’ve made a few suggestions myself, like how often to transfer money to fund).
    I’ve had Grifin for almost 2 years and my investment has grown approx. 180% (settings on Aggressive), and I literally do nothing! I’ve actually learned a few things about stocks using this App.
    Highly recommend

    Wow! That's so great to hear. Thank you for providing us with the suggestions too. We are always trying to make positive change and will be releasing more cool features soon. We appreciate you taking the time to write out such a thoughtful review. This helps us a ton. Also super great to hear about your experience with your investments and we're happy that you were also able to learn something along the way! - Aaron, CEO.
  • Too glitchy to set up an account

    I have tried numerous times to set up my financial account. When I put in my street name and number the screen glitches out to where I am not able to see anything or continue to fill out the page. I have the app tried deleting and redownloading multiple times to no avail. Hoping to get this straightened out soon so I can have this little extra account. Will reevaluate the rating once this is fixed.
  • Not worth the headache

    This has been one of the least supportive investment apps out there. The customer service is inept, and they drag things out without really helping their customers. I have been trying to close my account for a month now. They create loop holes that make it difficult for customers to close their accounts so they can continue to collect data off of us and make money.
  • Has Potential

    I like this app and it has potential… but it needs work. First, I’d like to link multiple credit cards however I am unable to. I’d also like to use the “Grifin Time Machine” feature however anytime I do it does not work and I am presented with a blank white screen. It would also be beneficial to add your card’s bank as a stock you can invest in if you bought something from a private company. What if I’d like to invest in more than $1 per transaction? Or if I would like to preload my grifin account with $50 to get started? I will keep trying the app, hopefully the items mentioned above will be addressed and added soon.

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for the kind review! Excited to share with you that we hear you and a lot of these suggestions are already in the works and should be coming out soon! We also just pushed an update where you can add more cards from your direct bank and then a second financial institution as well. Just delete your bank and re-add and it will automatically do it for you! Appreciate you being the most important part of Grifin. - Aaron F.
  • Can’t even login!!

    I haven’t had this app for very long after seeing it on TikTok but it’s already not letting me login!!! I type everything up and it just loads nothing else happened. I even went to forgot password and it is doing the same thing. How do I get in and see what is happening to my account or to even shut it down because I’m getting sick of this!!
  • Terrible

    Closed my account and waited the amount of time they told me it would be to get my money back, and I still don’t have it. I’m glad I closed it before I had a lot more money in it. Acorns is way, way better. This place steals your money and, when you try to contact them, they keep telling you to wait.
