Best Trading App for Easy Investing & Trading

I have been using Groww for trading and investments, and my experience has been excellent. The app is very user-friendly, smooth, and perfect for both beginners and experienced traders. Account opening was quick, and the interface makes stock trading, mutual funds, and SIP investments very easy to understand.

The charts, market updates, and order execution are fast and reliable. I also like the clean design and simple navigation compared to other trading apps. Customer support is responsive, and the app keeps improving with new features.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trusted and easy-to-use trading platform in India.

I first started my stock investment and SIP in this app only from 2023

I began my stock market investment journey and SIPs with the Groww trading app in 2023, and it has been a great experience so far. As a beginner, I found the app extremely user-friendly and easy to understand. The clean interface, simple navigation, and clear explanations made investing feel less intimidating.

Starting SIPs and investing in stocks was smooth, and tracking my portfolio has been very convenient. Over time, I have been able to accumulate funds consistently, and I’m really happy to see that my investments are growing steadily. The app provides helpful insights and updates that keep me informed about my investments.

Overall, Groww is a reliable and beginner-friendly app for anyone who wants to start their investment journey with confidence. I’m satisfied with my experience and happy with the progress of my funds.

I am using the Groww app for mutual fund investments, and overall experience is good, but ….

1) Mandate (AutoPay) Limits
Currently, AutoPay mandate is quite restrictive:
- UPI mandate is limited (generally up to ₹1–2 lakh depending on bank)
- Net banking mandate allows only up to around ₹5 lakh
- Default practical usage often stays near ₹1 lakh for seamless transactions

Because of this, it becomes very difficult for serious investors to invest large lump sum amounts.

For example:
- If I want to invest ₹10 lakh or more in one go during market correction, it is not possible smoothly using mandate
- I have to split transactions or use manual payment, which defeats the purpose of AutoPay

Other platforms like NJ Wealth provide higher mandate flexibility (₹20–50 lakh or more), which is much more practical for high-value investors.

👉 Request:
Please introduce higher mandate limits (₹20–50 lakh or customizable based on user profile and bank approval), especially via net banking/eMandate.

---

2) Limited SIP Frequency Options
Currently, SIP options are limited to monthly (and some dates).

👉 Missing features:
- Daily SIP option
- Weekly SIP option

These are very useful for:
- Better cost averaging
- Investing during volatile markets
- More flexible cash flow management

Many investors prefer daily/weekly SIP to capture market movements more effectively.

---

✅ Overall:
Groww is a very user-friendly and excellent platform, but these limitations make it less suitable for high-value and advanced investors.

Improving mandate limits and adding flexible SIP frequencies will significantly enhance the platform experience.

User friendly interface

Groww is an excellent trading and investment app, especially for beginners as well as experienced investors. The app interface is extremely clean, simple, and user-friendly, making investing stress-free. Opening an account is quick, and everything from stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, IPOs, and F&O is available on one platform.

What I really like is the transparent pricing with zero AMC, fast order execution, and detailed stock & mutual fund information that helps in making informed decisions. The app runs smoothly without lag, and fund transfer & withdrawals are quick and hassle-free.

Customer support is responsive, and regular updates keep improving the experience. Overall, Groww has made investing easy, safe, and convenient. Highly recommended for anyone serious about growing their wealth 📈

Response from developer

Hi, could you please help us with your registered email id/mobile number/ticket id, since we are unable to fetch your information. Else you can also write us back with your registered email to support@groww.in, we'll be glad to assist you further.

Simple, Smart & Actually Helpful for Beginners

Ive been using Groww for a while now, and honestly, its one of the easiest investing apps Ive come across. The interface is super clean and not confusing at all, which really helped me when I was just starting out with mutual funds and stocks.
What I like most is how straightforward everything feels — from KYC to making your first investment, the whole process is smooth and doesnt feel overwhelming. The app also provides basic explanations and insights, which are useful if you’re still learning the ropes.
That said, theres still room for improvement. Sometimes the app can lag a bit during peak market hours, and I wish they had more advanced tools for experienced investors. But for beginners and even intermediate users, it does the job really well.
Overall, Groww is a solid choice if you want a no-nonsense, user-friendly platform to start your investment journey without getting lost in complicated features.

Unfair Practice – Mutual Fund Units Stored in DEMAT Without Investor Consent

I’ve been using the Groww App for mutual fund investments, but I’m quite disappointed with a major concern that hasn’t been addressed.

Groww is directly storing mutual fund units in DEMAT format without taking proper consent or providing clear choice to investors regarding their preferred holding format — whether DEMAT or SOA (Statement of Account).

Many investors prefer SOA format as it gives more flexibility (especially for switching platforms or offline transactions) and avoids unnecessary DP charges. However, Groww doesn’t offer an option to choose and automatically links all investments to the DEMAT account held with them.

This is not just a matter of user experience, but an important investment decision, and Groww must take explicit consent from the investor before choosing the holding format. For a platform that claims to be investor-friendly, this is quite disappointing.

I hope Groww takes this feedback seriously and starts providing the option to select the holding mode during mutual fund investment – the way other platforms like Sharekhan or MF Central do.

Broker glitch

The app is good and user friendly but it has a major issue of closing up positions in trading.
I do think know if this happens to other people but many times when i try to exit my position, it won’t exit.
I do everything right, my strategy, stop loss, target, but when i reach my target and try to manually exit the position, it won’t exit, and no this is not always the case as sometimes the entry and exit are instant but in a high volume stock where there is so many shares and noise all over, the position becomes glitchy
And it didn’t bothered me that much until today, i tried to exit my position at a profit of Rs240, which is not a lot for many of you, but for me with a 3k total capital in my account balance, THIS HURT, as my 240 profit turned into 23. I had to cancel the order because i panicked as the taxes and brokerage would eat up 40-50 rupees, so yeah i made a loss after trying to exit at 240 profit
Now tell me, if a person like me who is trying to learn trading with a limited capital gets a 240 profit on a 3k account but then the app decides to slap his face, how would you guys feel.

Slow processing of transactions & price updation and bad customer care service.

The app is quite disappointing for serious traders. The stock prices update very slowly, which makes it difficult to take timely decisions—something that is absolutely essential in trading. On top of that, my mutual fund order has been stuck under “processing” even after 2 days, which shows poor backend efficiency. Needs major improvements in speed and reliability. The customer care service of this app is extremely poor. Calls get disconnected before the issue is resolved, and to make matters worse, the support tickets are marked as “resolved” even though the problem is still pending. This is very frustrating and shows a lack of accountability. Proper support is just as important as trading features, and this app needs serious improvement in its customer service.

Hidden charges and support he’ll

You won’t get proper updates on hidden charges and debts, and you need support to understand what exactly happened, and when you try to contact support you need to wait for hours to talk with a representative, is this what customer service, you need to understand a simple thing but to speak with support costs you more then 20 minutes, and if you need to withdraw money it won’t allow, it says not at the moment it’s been 3 days I am not able to withdraw my money, and from 3 days I couldn’t not get the help from support, right now it’s been 12 minutes I am trying to connect with the support, I will take my withdrawal and done, I won’t use this worst app any more, done with its and its services, please take other platform these people are not responsible and responding, there is no way I am in such a difficult situation for my own money

Worst customer service

Grow has worst customer service and worst technology to handle switching of mutual fund ! Kindly don’t use this app ! I had requested for switching of one of my SBI mutual fund which is still pending and worst part is their customer support ! Their chat agents just reply in this format - when u open chat they will reply after 30-40mins greetings from grow then after 30-40mins they will say we have lot of workload and so wait for 5-7mins and then after 150mins they will ask how may I help and if u don’t reply in 1min they close this chat session and then again u have to open new chat ! I had created ticket which said u will get update in 12hrs but it’s more than 2days no update on ticket ! I made huge mistake and my money seems stuck as I got mail of switch out but it didn’t switched in other fund and in mutual fund list also I can’t see that SBI fund !

Plz don’t install and use this …use anything else except this !

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have been trying to upload my renewed PAN card as my earlier PAN card was not matching with the details and other document as the
PAN was on my maiden name & Date of birth mistake After submitting all the necessary documents like old & new PAN & aadhar & original affidavit along with modification form through email & Offline courier thrice, they are asking now another Documents When asked about it to customer care team, they requested to try after 2-3 working days with the link that will sent through email from their end. Few days later I did not receive any email from the team, when contacted for a link to complete the process, they are now asking to submit another document as a proof which they could have mentioned before but did not. This shows clear signs of poor customer service and coordination within team.
Wrote a review here as clearly contacting their customer service is just a waste of time.

Interface

The only thing I don’t like about Groww is that they don’t provide the console section, which Zerodha offers. If you use Zerodha, you can see your portfolio distribution, meaning the percentage of holdings you have in a particular stock. This feature is very useful. Also, you can see in which sector you have invested most of your money. So, the interface of that console feature in Zerodha is amazing. However, the only thing I don’t like about Groww is that they don’t provide these types of features. If they could offer a console-like feature or something similar, it would be amazing. Retail investors could then see their holding percentages in different stocks or sectors. These are the kinds of features I would highly recommend to the Groww team.

App speed

Groww is an investment app that boasts a great user interface, making it easy for users to navigate and invest. However, the overall experience is marred by persistent speed issues on both the app and web versions. This slowdown significantly impacts the user experience and can lead to potential losses due to delayed order placement.

One of the most frustrating aspects of Groww is the slow order placement process. It takes an unacceptably long time to execute orders, which can be especially problematic in a fast-paced market where timing is critical. The delays can result in unfavorable price changes, leading to financial losses and additional charges.

While it's commendable that Groww releases regular updates, it's disappointing that these updates have not addressed the core issue of speed. Users would likely appreciate more substantial improvements in this area.

Needs improvement

I saw this app on the phone of a colleague and decided to download it as the UI looked clean and the options & calculators looked helpful. However, I encountered the same problem as any other Indian app which being, they rush to collect user data and get people to sign up without giving necessary information in the beginning. Main issue being, I am an NRI living in India currently and apparently this app doesn’t support NRI investing at the moment. This pop up - not really a pop up, it’s a small foot note which could have been easily missed or overlooked - only came after the app collected pretty much all KYC info like my PAN, email, phone number, Aadhar and now I am stuck at the signature screen. The most frustrating part is, there is no option to cancel the registration and delete my personal data or go back to main screen. I would be thankful if the developers can come up with a solution for this.

Fraud App

I had 15k added to my wallet. And I saved it there cause I was unable to set up autopay. And later next month, I withdrew 5000 from the wallet. It said it will take 3-5 working days. I noticed the wallet balance was 10k. I waited patiently for 7 working days. No money was sent to my account. I immediately contacted the customer care. THEWORST CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM I EVER CAME ACROSS. I explained them everything in detail and they promised me they will find a solution to my problem. Next day I got a mail from the team that the 10k in my account was transferred to my account and that the transaction is complete. I was in complete shock. The 5k I withdrew, didn’t touch my account. It was a painful journey from there. After writing several emails, I lost my cool. These guys were so stubborn and claimed that the money is sent to my account. I cried, cussed and begged for help. Still the response was the same. I had to let go of 5000 INR. Guys, trust me, this app is fraud. And don’t trust the rating. It’s not true. If you are someone who value money, don’t use this app. It’s a scam.

Edit: I saw your response. And I am talking about the money I added it to the wallet. Why and where did my 5000 gone? Is it as per SEBI regulations that you deducted that from my account??

Response from developer

Hi, As per the current guidelines set by SEBI the SIP payments will not go through via Groww wallet. You will get the option to pay the SIP only via net/banking/ UPI or mandate.Please share the details of the issue by raising a ticket at support@groww.in Also share the ticket id here or you can call us on 9108800604. We’ll make sure to look into it with the utmost priority.

Brilliant tool for learning & building your portfolio

I’ve been a user for couple of months now & have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of analysis and learning’s you can gain from the app, the UI is catchy and very well designed, everything from dashboards to opening the account process are well refined and integrated seamlessly together. Would definitely recommend this to anyone starting their investment journey.

One issue for the developers though: I’ve tried multiple times to get my already invested mutual funds integrated in the app but the process just has been stalling at “request confirmed” stage since a week now, if anyone from the team can help me with this it’d be great!

Very Fast & Secured

I downloaded Groww just a few days ago and now, since I've had the time to go over the main features of the app, I'd firstly like to say that it is very safe to use! Your personal data is encypted and there is no way it will be compromised by Groww. Second, investing has been very easy! After registering, SIP, buying or selling of mutual funds has been so easy to carry out. Everything is priced well, at low risks which is perfect for us investors, too! Lastly, my favourite feature of Groww is that you can check up on your investments and their performance. This has helped me make decisions for my investments. I'm more than satisfied with this app and see myself using it for a long time.

I don’t feel safe

There are so many UX and Customer Service issues with this app, that it’s hard to know where to even begin. Money inexplicably disappears, transactions fail without any announcement to the user, and any problem can only be solved by a slow and lengthy Support process. The only thing that is instant in this app is when you’re spending money in it. For everything else, there is a turnaround time.

For reference, there is a large sum of money, roughly about half my monthly salary, that this app is holding hostage. There is no place in the app where you can see where this money is, the app shows zero balance. The only place where there is a mention of it is the Customer Support chat. I took several screenshots of that. I don’t trust Groww.

I am losing trust in this app, and trying to figure out how to migrate my assets to another app. I recommend you avoid this app if you value your earnings.

Utter chaos and ultimately loss making app

When I signed up, until I uploaded all the documents they kept reading me about it and once I uploaded they didn’t bother to do any KYC. But the dashboard didn’t show anything pending on my side. When I decided to checkout the app with a small amount, they waited until I transferred the money and then told me my ePAN cannot be accepted for KYC and kept my order pending. Note the NAV was around INR 27. Despite explaining on 2 calls they wouldn’t respect IT department directive that ePAN is equally valid. So I told them to refund the money, they replied we have initiated the refund and it will come back to account in 3 working days. Simultaneously another of their executive kept emailing me several times for me to email him the PAN scan. I didn’t bother to reply as my refund was in progress as per the Team Lead who spoke last. Separately 2 days later I found the PAN scan and uploaded it in the app. Now suddenly on Monday 3 days after my request for refund, I receive a note saying the money has been sent to the Mutual Fund and units will be allocated in 3 or 4 days. Finally the next day I receive a note saying I have been allocated x units @ NAV INR 29. Not only I had lost INR 2 per unit because of Groww’s mistakes and delays but also the cancellation that was initiated did not happen or they plainly lied to a customer.

If this is how investors have to suffer at the hands of new age Brokers like Groww, I would rather desist from investing through such cheap apps.

It’s funny their slogan is “proudly built in India for India.” They are apparently in business from 2016. Maybe that’s their level of professionalism. But they should drag the country’s reputation along with it. I humbly request them to change their slogan.
