### 2/5 — New app not as good as the old one.

*2026-08-14, version 26.06.3*

Bring back the ability to see monthly growth!

### 4/5 — Many good features, some weaknesses

*2026-08-07*

The TIAA App has a nice clean look and many positives.  But that doesn’t make it a “5”.  I have several different types of TIAA accounts. (1) Active retirement from my current employer, (2) inactive funds now solely in TIAA traditional from past employers, (3) a rollover IRA, (4) a post-tax investment account, and (5) a 401K profit sharing plan from a side business. The app is GREAT for some of these.  But it’s useless for #5 which inexplicably doesn’t show up at all. TIAA has been trying to solve this problem for months with no success so far.   I recommend it for those with active or former retirement accounts.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-08-04, version 26.06.3*

This app is much better than most of the financial applications I have seen. It gives a very quick look at the dash board. That is a super over view. If there is a fault it is that the breakage account is added to both my wife’s account and also mine. That makes it look like there is twice as much money as there actually is

### 4/5 — Getting better, but…

*2026-08-04, version 26.06.3*

I have used the app frequently for 5-6 years now, to check retirement account mutual fund and ETF values and periodically to trade. Unfortunately, access to my brokerage account is buried on a third screen, rather than linked on the Home Screen. Also, once I get there, I have always wondered at the logic of the ordering of the “My Holdings” list. It’s not alpha, not account value, and I don’t think it’s cost basis either. What’s more, the carat on the “Total Value” column header suggests I should be able to at least reverse the sort, which I can’t do either. 

Once I’m in my brokerage account, the page headers don’t say “Brokerage” - as a visual cue that I am looking at only a subset of my total TIAA account. 

I have bought and sold thru the app and it works OK.

I appreciate all the effort to get it this far. Hopefully it’s a work in progress with continuing improvements! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Tiaa review

*2026-08-03, version 26.06.3*

TIAA is SUPER convenient, super speedy and super reliable. Both people in The company and the app. All the encounters I ever had in the app has been great

### 5/5 — Well designed

*2026-07-31, version 26.06.3*

I use the TIAA mobile app on my phone and IPad and find it to be user friendly.

### 1/5 — Fidelity is WAY better

*2026-07-16, version 26.06*

I have one external account that is intended to fund my automatic loan payments. I’ve spoken with four different representatives, and none have been able to get the automatic payments working. I rolled my accounts over to Fidelity because its app is much more user-friendly and its advisors are more efficient. Unfortunately, I still have to call TIAA every month to make a loan payment and then transfer the funds to Fidelity. This entire process should be automated, but after five months, TIAA still hasn’t been able to resolve the issue. It’s frustrating that such a basic function requires monthly phone calls.

### 1/5 — Disappointing if you want detailed information

*2026-07-04, version 26.06*

Useful for general information a day after trades are complete. Not so much for detailed information such as daily price changes, whether amounts or percentages (there is a bit of this information about four clicks into the app). Prices don’t update for several hours after markets close, so it’s best to wait until the next day to find accurate updates. Charts do not work on an iPad if trying to see different time frames. Even statements don’t appear in a timely manner (after email notification they are available). Disappointing.

### 2/5 — Mediocre At Best

*2026-07-04, version 26.06*

Relative to Fidelity and Vanguard this app doesn’t come close to matching up. It’s disappointing that TIAA can’t do better.  It’s so hard to even get YTD information to compare performance. Why is the majority of the functionality so cumbersome to access? How about plots that I can compare multiple fund performances? Functionality is short on delivery and amateurish.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-01, version 26.06*

This app is very useful. It does exactly what it promises. It updates account balances, and offers a lot of functionality. It’s a great supplement to the website and is much faster and easier to access. Highly recommend.
