  • Great experience on mobile!

    I am loving the mobile app as an alternative to using the website.
  • The Future of Startup Investing For Everyone

    It’s an amazing platform and the app is very easy to use!
  • I’m investing in installing this app

    I have no idea if this is Chinese spyware, but I really like Mr. Wonderful so I’m trusting this app will make me rich like him some day!
  • Scam

    You will never get your money back and you only reserve shares for the future
  • Needs alot of work

    It is a promising platform, however if this company continues to charge investors 3.5% fee for every investment they make, it will eventually result in its demise. I prefer Republic honestly where I don’t have to worry about fees that the company raising money should pay, not the investor. Like I said the 3.5% fees will eventually bore the investors and begin its decline

    Hello There! We'll be sure to take this away to our team. In the meantime if you have any other suggestions, please feel free to reach out to contact@startengine.com. Thanks for using the StartEngine app!
  • Needs Much Work

    I’ve been using the online platform for at least 2 or 3 years now. It would be nice if I could use the app also, but it doesn’t allow me to login. When I enter my login info, it takes me through the sign up process as though it’s a new account. Once in that process, you can’t go back to the initial screen. It provides no menu options or anything to allow starting over. It forces you to set up an account. I don’t need, nor want, to set up a new account. So is it that the app isn’t made for people with existing accounts, which makes no sense at all?

    Developer Response

    Hi There! We're sorry to hear about your experience. The app is designed to support users who wish to angel invest and trade shares of startups (launching soon!). As such, we require you to create an account that supports trading to make the best use of the app. Your existing profile did not support trading, which is why we had to ask for a few more questions to set up your account. We understand this is confusing and will work to make this a better experience for users. Thank you for using StartEngine! Please feel free to reach out to contact@startengine.com for any further questions or feedback.
  • Logged in with my existing account and it still shows me the signup form

    Either this is a bug or the product team never anticipated somebody installing the app for the first after they had already signed up on the Web.
  • If you make a mistake you are stuck making a new account

    I added the wrong account to the app and now it wants to create a new account, and I cannot back out to put in there right account.
  • Game Changer

    I’m an unaccredited investor, and it’s crazy to think how only a few years ago I wasn’t even able to invest in startups!

    StartEngine has significantly democratized finance and all us retail investors stand to benefit tremendously.

    What an incredible app. Beats Robinhood for sure!
  • Genius!

    This company is he future! We can invest in companies like on shark tank. Very cool!!
