What's New in Troop

Bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Holding Corp.’s Accountable

I’m just getting started, wish I had known of Troop Sooner. Shareholders have power to make changes.. We all see changes are Needed!

Not usable for mutual funds

It would have been nice before downloading if it had been clear that app was not for use by funds investors.
Developer replied with a nice answer. I’ll give him another star and maybe more after steering implementation of future planned features.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your feedback and trying out Troop— we agree this is a frustrating issue that should have been more clearly communicated to our users. We’ve been actively working through ways to enable pass-through voting of bundled stock products (mutual funds, etc). 💜 The new SEC INDEX Act is calling for passively managed funds to solicit voting instructions from their investors, which would make it much easier for individual investors to have a say, if implemented into law. Stay tuned in the meantime, we are planning to offer this feature soon. 🦍

Great app

Really cool addition to my portfolio- love the idea of joining and starting campaigns on Troop! Shareholder activism is awesome

Glitch when Signing up

Excited to use this app but unfortunately I can’t sign up with an account. Every time I try to enter my email to send a verification code, the text box swipes up and disappears from my screen. I do receive the code but can’t enter it from the app.

Response from developer
