Basic investor

Easy to use and understand.

Too much need to login

I dislike having to login to simply check markets or to view a stock price.

Why no TIPS?

Why can’t I buy TIPS on the app?

16 years nothing to show

You will never hurt me again..

In Dire Need for UI

I trust Charles Schwab with my money however I extremely dislike this apps UI. Its terrible. Theres really no way to look at charts and see how your assets are performing over certain periods of time.

I use this app to buy and sell, otherwise I use Yahoo Finance or Tradeview because its exactly what I’m looking for.

It’s 2026. How is it impossible to have something like Yahoo finance…

POS

During open market, the prices in the watchlist are lagging. Aftermarket, you may as well just forget it. It wasn’t until I opened another app that I found not only the current price is wrong, but the ask price is wrong. Today it was higher by 25 cents than the actual ask price. If you had bid based on that price, you could have paid thousands more than you had to. I’m wondering now how much money I lost to this POS app.

Impossible to reset your password

It’s impossible to reset the password on the mobile app. 2FA doesn’t generate the Text or email. A truly awful experience for something that should be so simple. Implement passkey or authentication app to make this easy.

Earning Money

The people a Schwab take care of you and feel free to ask questions because they have the answers.

New Views

I miss the dashboard view of all accounts and total investment. Now it only shows by a single account and doesn’t show the trends like it did before.

no good

you must check if they give you real time quote

Stop with all the updates!!

Stop with all the updates!!

Fails all the time

The app fails more often than not. Not ideal for travelers because hold times are insane when you call. The websites two-step authentication depends on the app or a call. Availability is a major weakness here.

Need more information

Could be more complete support, simple use easier to manage.
Is there 1 by minute quote or not, show me!
Is there the same after hours and again show me!

Not as good as Fidelity

Overall, your app doesn’t give me much information. It’s poorly laid out, confusing, and nowhere near the level that it should be for a company of your size. All you have to do is look at Fidelity’s app. and copy it

Almost perfect

Need to be able to sort on the app and rename accounts.

Laggy

Very laggy after the last update

Needs better layout for Checking ledger

Overall the app is great. Recent updates have made it hard to keep track of checking account ledger. There are horizontal lines after random records that don’t even make sense. Please do usability testing at least before releasing such weird changes to UI

Gone to Trash

12 years of trading on Schwab & Options Xpress, and this is the first time I’ve wanted to throw my phone against a wall because of the mobile app. This entire week has been trash… unbelievable latency, lagging interface, dead fish refresh rate, and piss poor tech service explanations for why. This started for me when they changed the tax lot/cost basis rules in September, and then the nightmare continued to grow. CTO Dennis Howard better figure this out fast, because the Schwab mobile app is sinking on his watch. Boooooo!

Things missing

There are things I wish you could do in the app without going to the website. View realized gain/ loss. Top stocks that make up an ETF. Change dividend reinvestment. In this day and age why isn’t the app fully functional?

Watch list prices are always wrong

Revising the app nothing to correct any of the major problems, like fixing watchlist prices they were always wrong unless I refresh the app. Good to see you guys are on the ball, what a joke open app update!
