Nope nothing going - Update 2023
I just installed the app and got set up, however, it says automatic stock back is still “coming soon”. This was the primary reason I downloaded the app. There is no area, that I have found, to link my credit cards and/or bank accounts. I see other reviews talking about the ability to do this so not sure if I’m missing something or not. I’ll update if I’m able to get it all working. Otherwise there is definitely potential. Update: September 17th I made my first purchase. I’m still waiting on the stock back to post. I know it says it can take up to 75 days to show, but when other apps can have their bits post in under two weeks, makes me wonder if this was just too good to be true. Also, it says I’m ranked #1 to get access to the brokerage account which opens up auto stock back. Been that way for about two+ weeks and still waiting. Update:2 After using Buts for a while now I have to say they’ve upgraded and it’s better than where it was. There is still work that needs to be done to make it perfect, but for what it’s grown too I think they’ve done great. They’re also very good at responding to questions and issues. Normally within a day or two. Which is faster than most others. $BoS:AdaKor Update 2023: app has stopped working. Unable to withdraw funds. Stay away. Go with Grifin.

Needs update
I have used the app for almost a year, and it is a great concept. The only problem is that in order to actually get the stocks you have to open a brokerage account through the app. I have tried since day one to open one, I go through all the steps and at the very end I submit and it says something went wrong. I have contacted them and they say it is the brokerage that that is having the problem. Well it hasn’t been fixed in over 6 months. I tried again today and it is the same. Maybe get a new brokerage. Or allow us to connect our own.

Good app with some growing pains.
Overall I love this app and the idea behind it. I have received quite a bit of stock back in rewards. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there are some bugs when trying to claim a reward. It has worked every time for me, it just takes a long time to be completed. Developers are responsive when I reach out and are very helpful.

Thank you for the feedback. We are working around the clock to bring you a best-in-class app.
Don’t waste your time. This app is horrible!
I have had nothing but problems with this app. My cards will not stay linked. I’ve had to contact their customer support multiple times in the past to relink my card and have my rewards added to my balance. The app never pulls down the information for my card even when it was properly linked. I’d still have to contact support in order to get the transactions downloaded so my rewards could be added. Now when I try to relink my card it says that the credentials entered do not match. I literally went to my credit card app and manually entered the EXACT SAME login credentials and it logged me in on the credit card’s native app, I went back into Bits of Stock’s app and input the credentials EXACTLY THE SAME and got the same response that my login credentials were not recognized! This app is horrible at what it attempts to do. It is complete garbage. I have had the app now for several months in order to give it the benefit of the doubt in the hopes that they would get their bugs sorted out but after so many failures (this is at least the 10th time I’ve had problems with the app) as a result I will be leaving a 1 star review, deleting the app and closing this account (actually have had to contact support again to even try to get the stocks sold and my money cashed out, and most likely won’t even get the money owed to me). If you are considering this app as a way to earn some stock rewards don’t waste your time.

Excellent stock back app
This app went from being so underdeveloped it felt a little shady to becoming the best of its kind over the past couple of years. It’s actually really impressive, and I’m glad I stuck with it.
Kudos to the developers for listening to feedback and working so hard to improve everything.

Fun, Easy Program
Had this app for over a year and everything has been great! The setup was simple and then you can just leave it in the background as you collect rewards for shopping on things you’d buy anyways. I alway like getting the information updates/new promotions, but have never felt like they send too many emails. Great idea and fun to track.

Thank you for the review!
Great Source of Free Stock
This app works exactly as it says - you put in your card info and it will automatically scan your transactions and reward you with a small amount (usually 1% or .5%) of stock based on them! It’s not much, but it adds up over time, particularly if you frequent the same stores and if you get it on top of the regular cash back from your credit card. So the upside: free money! The only downside is that the card linking doesn’t always work perfectly (which is true with any app like this) so you need to sometimes re-authorize your cards. Thanks! $BoS:BriMoo

Bits of Stocks - a gold mine! $BoS:BraJam
I love Bits of Stocks! A wonderful and great way to build a fortune while shopping online. No, it’s not a quick way to build a nice nest egg but over time, your account can really grow because we as consumers are always shopping! Please give it a try! You won’t regret it! Only thing is there is a limited amount of vendors but I am sure that will grow over time! $BoS:BraJam

Cool Idea
I think this app is a cool idea. My problem is lately I keep getting notifications that my account has come unlinked. SUCH a pain! Also, like others have said, there’s not a lot of info on the app & it would be nice to have more businesses, but I realize that takes time. I’m not going to delete this app yet, but getting very close

Great idea but not receiving any stock rewards
I have several cards linked and my stores picked out but for some reason the transactions i see in my history section are not generating any fractional shares. Overall this app is so cool and it comes with a large selection of stocks you can add to your 15 stock back list.

Great Way to Earn!
These guys/gals have put together a great idea and are working hard to make it better everyday. What better way than to hold equity in the places you shop most! It truly incentivizes people to shop where they love and then get rewarded by owning a piece of that company. Excited to see them continue to onboard new companies. $BoS:DanMay

Huge fan
I have been using this for a little while and I’m a big fan. It’s always nice to get money without having to go out of your way. I’m only buying things that I normally buy and Bits of Stock delivers me partial shares.

I really have been liking this app. I think that the idea behind it is so innovative and really will be widely used once more people use it! I highly recommend this if you shop at the places on the list & I’m sure there will be more to come! Very glad an app like this is out there!
New to stock
New to the stock market but this seems like an easy way to dip a toe. The interface is easy to use and I like that you don’t have to be a millionaire to invest. I’m looking forward to building a potentially nice portfolio and this app will help me do it piece by piece.

Free stock
This app is perfect for those people who spend to much at stores and never invest. It’s an easy way to better your future through gifting you stocks for in store purchases. It was a perfect fit for my mom, who didn’t know how to invest, but shopped a lot. I am eagerly looking forward to the updates for new stores In their selection.

Bits - Convenient!
Bits of Stock was easy to set up and link my bank account! Takes a few days for the rewards to process, but that doesn’t matter much. Has a lot of major stores/brands, I’m excited to see more brands added in the future! This app is definitely a plus, free stock for purchases I would make anyways, is great!

Good idea, not enough companies
Let me start off by saying that this app is an absolutely brilliant idea. The app itself is both simple and slick. The problem is there are very few companies participating. Unless you happen to do a lot of business with some of these very few companies, this will not help you in anyway. Hopefully they are going to expand the list to a much broader selection. Until then I will be hanging out in the wings waiting. My ticker:

Good Idea
Bits Of Stock is a great way to earn stock with purchases, but the app is kind of buggy and does not really tell you much about how rewards work, how to withdraw them, or basic info you’d expect to be able to find in app.
It’s easy enough to figure out, and they seem to be making steps to make it better. Still- great idea. I’ve made over $350 in stock just by using the app, which is very nice.
I got $3 for writing this review. FYI. $BoS:ColMcG

Hi, We are very sorry to hear about your experience with the Bits app. The problem should have been resolved by now. If nothing has changed, could you send an e-mail to our customer support? Our customer support email address is support@bitsofstock.com. Again, sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks!
UI is improving
Early on, the app was buggy, but the user experience has improved a lot. I hope they are able to get wider range of rewards, however, as the handful of brands now on the app are or limited use to me. Definitely worth signing up for, though.
