### 4/5 — Main Page Button Improvement

*2026-04-25, version 5.14*

Update the green “Contribute” button to match the main Fidelity app style and rename it “Transact.” Tapping it should open a simple menu that lets users contribute or donate from any page—no need to return home or navigate elsewhere. This streamlines access and makes transactions more intuitive.

### 1/5 — Fidelity steals your money with fees

*2025-12-09, version 5.12*

Your money doesn’t go to charity. Fidelity steals it in fees. They should be ashamed. Unethical AF!

Also the app has a terrible customer UI/UX.

### 3/5 — Good, but lost function

*2025-09-29, version 5.10*

The app is great to make a donation, but it used to allow editing scheduled/recurring donations. A while back, that seems to have gone away. Now, when I attend a fundraiser and decide to increase my donations, I have to remember to log in at home from a computer to modify recurring donation amounts. I used to use the app to update the amount while at the events.

### 5/5 — Well designed app

*2025-08-15, version 5.8*

All the functionality I need to make my charitable transactions smooth and seamless.

### 1/5 — Fidelity holds up donations

*2025-05-14, version 5.7*

Grants can be held up for months where they used to be processed in 7-10 BD’s.  No communication and toll free line is an eternal hold cycle

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-03-28, version 5.3.1*

App references to update which doesn’t work in App Store

### 5/5 — Great user interface

*2024-08-19, version 5.2*

As expected with Fidelity, the user interface it top notch.  I wish Fidelity Charitable would let me invest in FBTC, the Fidelity Bitcoin Trust.

### 5/5 — Much better GUI

*2024-06-20, version 5.0*

The look and feel and overall GUI design of this latest version is night and day compared to the old version.

### 2/5 — Same problem with login

*2023-11-03, version 4.2*

This is a great tool and I hate to give a poor review, but unfortunately the app is unusable.

### 2/5 — Crashes constantly

*2023-09-21, version 4.1*

This app crashes everytine you try to set up a new grant. It’s kind of worthless for anything but viewing the account and existing grants.
