Makes it fun to invest and reduces the intimidating practices of the institutional investors and professional gamblers. ### 2/5 — More money, less quality. *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* When I started it was a good app at good value; beginner friendly and for 2.99 it was a great platform to invest. However now that they’ve consolidated and a plan is $12 it only makes sense if you plan on using all of their account and “future planning” options… in which case you should probably investigate other more serious options for long term portfolio management. Additionally their new money coach AI is a waste of time. The whole UI also shoves smart portfolio down your throat which isn’t for everyone. No longer a usable platform. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Good ### 5/5 — Great resource *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Great way to save invest and when needed sell ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I like it ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Awesome! ### 5/5 — Building Wealth *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Stash has been an essential tool in helping me build wealth. I recommend Stash for those seeking to grow their money. It is so easy to use. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* It is easy to learn and use. To learn how to invest, in stock, bond, and etfs. I always learning new skills ### 5/5 — Simply Sensational *2026-09-08, version 4.129.1* It’s a great way for ordinary people to invest. Keep up the good work. ### 3/5 — Random charges *2026-09-08, version 4.129.1* You’ll get random charges that range from 3 - 12 dollars from time to time. The 3 dollar charges made sense. Not the 12 dollar charges. Apple needs to investigate ### 5/5 — Author & Speaker *2026-09-08, version 4.129.1* The Stash App is a fun and easy way to save money and make money. I love the automatic reinvesting of dividends and the stock parties that give free stock! ### 5/5 — José *2026-09-08, version 4.129.1* Good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible Company *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I have no subscription when I log into my “account” yet they have continued to charge me and have for years without my knowledge. Do not recommend and they deserve 0 stars. ### 1/5 — Use alternatives *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I can’t understand why anyone would use this platform over others. It is incredibly hard to see where all of your money is on this app. Having to go through 5 different pages just to see my personal portfolio is insane. Nickel and Dimed over everything. Money takes a week to clear when transferring in, transferring out, placing buy order, placing sell orders. It’s all just nonsensical, like you asked ai to vibe code you an investment platform. I suggest avoiding. ### 1/5 — Shady Dealings *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Like so many others I have had and enjoyed stash for years (since it was $1) when they raised their rates to $3 I was in too deep already and just let it happen but since raising their rates to $12 without informing me and refusing to refund the stolen money I’m liquidating and taking the tax hit. It’s not worth $12/month for a service more reputable banks do for free. Surely no one will stick around and pay that fee. I assume the company is close to going under and just using this as a last cash grab. And you can skip the corporate/ AI response about the beautiful opportunity you’re giving all of us to pay for your premium service. ### 1/5 — Stealing my money for 5 years *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* To start — DO NOT USE THIS APP I signed up during Covid for automatic deposits. Every single month I lose money to this company, it is withdrawn from bank account and I am restricted access to withdraw. I lost access to my two factor authentication phone number, and because of that I cannot log in to the account and am being denied access. This is the 3rd attempt I’ve made to access my funds in the last 5 years, each time I’m denied the money I’ve deposited because I lost access to phone number. This is absolutely absurd at this point. ### 1/5 — I’m done w Stash *2026-09-08, version 4.129.1* Stash doesn’t give you total freedom on how to control your money ### 1/5 — Gay asf *2026-09-05, version 4.129.1* Since the price increase STASH does not have good value. Download Robinhood instead if you want something that does not cost a fortune and has more features. Update: the automated response stash is using in response to long time customers voicing their opinion on the recent cash grab single price membership we didn’t want is also GAY ASF! ### 1/5 — Plan consolidation *2026-09-05, version 4.129.1* The company removed their tiered plans & pushed everyone into their high cost plan. & the only thing you can do is cancel the subscription & sell everything. & then you do a review and they push how they are giving their “best” services. If I had wanted those services I would’ve upgraded myself but clearly most people didn’t want them that’s why they forced everything into a single price for everyone, pure greed ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-09-04, version 4.129.1* Holds you in like a fart in church. Continues to pull money out monthly, very hard to restrict access to your bank account. Very very hard to deactivate accounts ### 1/5 — Loved for a long time *2026-09-04, version 4.129.1* I have used stash for years. Recently their subscription price jumped from $3 to $12 in one go. Did I receive any notification of this? Nope. Just checked my bank statement to see it had increased significantly. Moving all investments to Schwab. Do better about price transparency. ### 1/5 — $12/month? What? *2026-09-04, version 4.129.1* Apparently there was an email sent out that it was not even easy to tell what was happening around June that told us we have to pay more. Sadly, I just caught it and I’ve been paying $12 a month for a couple months now. I’m not a huge investor, and there’s no way to make $12 worth it. I closed my account and will be switching to one of many other free/lower cost options. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I forget I have it sometimes and check and my small investment has grown. I believe that this account will continue to grow because of the great information provided on how to invest. ### 5/5 — A+++ *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I love using stash!!!! It has helped me invest my extra money and I can see the growth! This app is easy to use! I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to invest without it being difficult!! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I didn't know anything about investing, STASH, does everything for you now I have a nice investment. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Wish I could borrow against my stocks and see a few different dividend options ie quarterly , yearly , monthly how much I’m making ### 5/5 — Best Money App *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Awesome way to save and invest check it out! ### 5/5 — Stock Party *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* Who doesn’t love getting free $$$ ### 5/5 — Stash *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* I love Stash and it really helps me save money!! ### 5/5 — I Love Stash! *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* The app has been a great asset to my life in giving me knowledge, structure, and a platform to build wealth. ### 5/5 — STASH is an awesome app *2026-09-09, version 4.129.1* STASH is easy to use.
