### 1/5 — App stinks

*2020-12-31, version 5.7*

Just for starters, why no version for an IPad? I don’t want to turn the IPad every time I want to log in! And definitely not enough info when reading it up and down instead like on a big computer screen going left to right. The app really stinks.
And just a suggestion, I would love a button or screen to just see how I did previously. How my portfolio “totally’ did yesterday, previous 2 or 3 days, previous month, all at the touch of one button. Did I make $1,000, did I lose $1,000, etc.

### 1/5 — Finally got an app...and it doesn’t work

*2020-12-16, version 5.7*

I waited years for Hilltop Securities to offer an app, like every other financial organization already had. Then one day they released this and I was excited. But when I tried to log in with my credentials, it said invalid. I called support. They said they’d look into it but I never heard from them again. Fast forward several months and I still can’t log in. Worthless.

### 1/5 — Never Worked

*2020-10-07, version 5.6*

Not only did the app not work, it killed my access to my access to the web site on my computer. The only reason it is rated one star is because Apple would not allow a zero-star review.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2020-10-06, version 5.6*

This app is just awful. Logging in is a hassle, no Touch ID or Face Recognition instead of a password. It doesn’t show daily account changes in money. It’s the worst financial app possible. Hilltop needs to do better.

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2020-08-15, version 5.5*

I enter the password and one time password and nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-08-12, version 5.5*

Absolute garbage

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2020-07-04, version 5.4*

What is the point of developing an app that can’t be logged into. Painfully obvious the developers don’t have an account at Hilltop.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-24, version 5.4*

Logged on entered OTP, hit submit, then nothing. 
Please test before releasing. 
Now does go pass user id

### 1/5 — Getting Worse

*2020-06-19, version 5.4*

This Mobil app only works some of
The time.  Lots of times when I check in it shows our accounts as “0”.

### 1/5 — Won’t allow login

*2020-06-08, version 5.3*

I’ve entered my username, PW, and OTP and it spins for a moment, then does nothing. Can’t get logged in.

### 1/5 — The worst!

*2020-06-06, version 5.3*

For some reason the Apple Keychain doesn’t automatically offer to enter my password for this app When I click on the key icon to retrieve the password, it’s not under “MOmentum” or “Hilltop”, it’s under “fisglobal” (????).  PLUS- every time I log in it ALSO texts a PIN number that I have to manually enter. 

WISHLIST: Face ID

One star for at least remembering my user name when I open the app. 

One final little thing: I’m not a crazy stocks guy. I have simple needs. Is it too much to ask to show me the TOTAL of my stock worth available cash?

### 1/5 — Don't bother downloading app

*2020-06-05, version 5.3*

Wait, perhaps we may be notified when the mobile app works.

### 1/5 — Embarrassing when compared to other Hilltop Holdings apps

*2026-05-01, version 8.1.2*

How is it that this app breaks about once per quarter? I am regularly unable to log in and have to wait for some back end fix for it to work again, since the app itself rarely gets updated. Compare this to their PlainsCapital apps, you know this company is capable of building a functional piece of software, but for some reason they just won’t for their HilltopSecurities customers

### 1/5 — Very unreliable !

*2026-03-17, version 8.1.2*

Most times 
 it doesn’t log-on.  If you use VPN (and you should) you get an error right away.  
Getting it to load is insanely unreliable!  Sometimes it does nothing and other times it just spins and spins and never loads. 

If you Clink on the “Trouble Singing in?” Help Link you get this error.   ‘The service provider that you are attempting to access is not configured with IdP’.     
Meaning: Linking to their help system isn’t even configured correctly. 


Occasionally and surprisingly  it works - but nothing on my phone’s end changed.

It’s such a Bad Application !

### 1/5 — Shameful

*2025-12-01, version 8.1.2*

It seems to accept login credentials but then just spins for a bit and nothing. Nothing absolutely nothing. FIX IT HILLTOP. Hope that your indifference to the quality of this app isn’t indicative of how you manage my money.

### 1/5 — Not able to login

*2024-11-05, version 8.0*

Call them they said no changes but unable to login for two weeks now.

### 1/5 — 8.0 update bugs

*2024-09-26, version 8.0*

Ever since Version 8.0 was released, I cannot login to the app.  It accepts my login information but then just refreshes the login screen.

### 1/5 — Can’t login!

*2024-08-09, version 7.0.1*

I haven’t been able to login to the app for 4 days!!!!  It usually runs great, but something has gone wrong.  I have deleted and reinstalled several times.  I can get into the website.

### 1/5 — App just doesn’t work anymore

*2024-05-08*

The app refuses to let me sign in, it just stopped working a week ago and nothing has been done about it

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2023-12-15, version 7.0.1*

App used to work fine until recently. Not sure what they did, but now I can’t log in through the app. Username and password are correct because I can log into the website, but when trying to log into the app, it just goes nowhere. Biometrics don’t work, entering username and password by hand doesn’t work, using iPhone Password stoppage doesn’t work. Please fix this app.

### 1/5 — Cannot Log in

*2023-11-16, version 7.0.1*

Was able to login to this application with an iPhone 8 plus. Upgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max and it will not let me in or let my wife in on her iPhone 8 plus.

We can login via safari web browser.

An application is a shortcut of the web browser so same user ID and login should be able to get you in.

Fix it.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-10-24, version 5.8*

You are supposed to be able to use your same log in as MOmentum Client.  Nope it doesn’t work.  I’ve tried on many occasions to log in.  Useless….

### 5/5 — Huge improvement but still requires work.

*2024-12-13, version 8.0.1*

Big improvement from older versions.  Most of the 1 star reviews are from login issues.  They have corrected that with biometric login on my iPhone.  The previous MFA a few years ago was a nightmare.  They also need to improve the password reset/change process to include your celllphone number.

One thing they can improve is to separate the actual cash available in margin type account from the Buying power.  As of now, you cannot figure out how much free cash balance to withdraw from margin without contacting your broker/adxisor.  

They could also add a tab or link for the e-documents like confirms and statements instead of logging in from a browser.

Please continue the updates.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Huge improvement

*2022-07-22, version 6.0*

I love all the new features.

### 5/5 — Gets the job done!

*2020-06-06, version 5.3*

Provides current portfolio value $$$$$

### 3/5 — Why no order entry in the mobile app

*2025-09-19, version 8.1.1*

This app is view only tool. If it provides order entry for trading stocks, it would be more useful

### 3/5 — Watch list drop down defective

*2025-06-04, version 8.1*

This app works well on my android phone but there is an issue with iPad version. The drop down arrow on the watch list feature does not work so I can only view the first watch list in the series. Would be nice if this can be fixed. Jon S

### 3/5 — App stopped working iOS 16.4

*2023-04-06, version 7.0*

After updating iPhone 13 to 16.4 the Momentum app stopped logging in. Online portal is working.

### 3/5 — So so

*2020-06-02, version 5.3*

When you sign on, if your iPhone is in dark mode you cannot see your logon. You have to have the iPhone in light mode to see the logon, password, etc.  Pretty unacceptable in my book!!  I hope HilltopSecurities is better at making me money than it is at designing apps......

### 2/5 — Latest Version is a Downgrade

*2025-04-10, version 8.1*

With the latest release, Hilltop has apparently simultaneously disabled screenshotting (useful for local account management and daily comps), while allowing unlimited session login time— potentially allowing anyone to view sensitive live account data at a later time, if the app is left open as a background task. 2 big strikes against the security and usability of this app.

### 2/5 — Getting Worse

*2024-12-21, version 8.0.1*

Having trouble getting connected to Hilltop!!!
