This App is everything I've been looking for in an investment App. Checks all the boxes. Tried opening a Vanguard account and had to give up! They want your first born. Public is for the Public!

The easiest and best online broker

I have money spread around a number of brokerage firms, but as the years go by, I move more and more money into Public. The breadth of investment opportunities is wide and the tools are top class.

Lacking and lagging

It's so slow to show real time data and to sell or open. There is not stop loss, take profit or trailing stop loss. Never lost so much money in my life. Piece of junk. Only good thing is that you can place options orders pre market and market price at open.

Great Support Team

I have been with public for almost a year now and I am so grateful for the support team. They are helpers, teachers, and very responsible professionals. They make public a great choice for a trading platform. Not to mention the tools available for making money. Nothin is 100% but with their support team and the best tools available, I feel like I can make the best informed decisions for a winning strategy. No one else is close. Great Platform choice for the beginners and the professionals. They want you to be a winner.

FAQ

What can I invest in with this app?

You can invest in a wide range of assets including US-listed registered securities, options, bonds, and cryptocurrency. The app also offers access to treasury accounts for T-Bills and a high-yield cash account.

How does the portfolio transfer bonus work?

The app offers a 1% uncapped match when you transfer your existing brokerage account, IRA, or 401(k) rollover to their platform. Matched funds must remain in the account for at least 5 years to avoid an early removal fee.

Is this app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. While there are no explicit in-app purchase mentions for features, the description implies potential fees associated with trading certain assets like bonds, and a rebate program based on trading volume.

Who is eligible to use this investment app?

This app is available to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older and subject to account approval. Specific investment types may have additional requirements or disclosures.

What are the risks associated with investing through this app?

All investing involves risk of loss, including loss of principal. Cryptocurrency is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Options are risky and not suitable for everyone. Securities investments are not FDIC insured, have no bank guarantee, and may lose value.
