I have a very important piece of feedback for you. You waste all that real estate at the top of the home screen showing some prediction of the future that’s pretty much useless…. He said you should be showing the history of my net worth, that’s way more useful and I’m going to be switching to Monarch because I want to see a history of my net worth growing. I will update my review to five stars once I get confirmation that my feedback was heard. ### 4/5 — Versatile and enabling! *2026-07-25, version 2026.7.17* I got into Wealthfront mainly to use the tax loss harvesting function but then found a plethora of other account types and options that I find very helpful and eventually got to use indexing, tax loss harvesting, and smart beta! The cash account is decent and I use it but there is no check writing function and they wouldn’t issue a debit card (in my case) and they offer lower APY, which is a shortfall compared to similar houses like Betterment. Overall it is excellent and has quickly became my favorite place to invest. ### 4/5 — Hmm Why’d you take away the ability to quickly views the statutes of my stocks?? Hmm?? *2026-07-21, version 2026.7.17* Hmm Why’d you take away the ability to quickly views the statutes of my stocks?? Hmm?? It’s a good working app otherwise. ### 3/5 — Plaid is terrible *2026-07-13, version 2026.7.6* Long time user. I love the app and the service. The recent switch to Plaid though has been terrible. It often gives me an error when trying to connect institutions if it does actually work, you can be sure it will break again in a month or so and ask you to reconnect. Just an awful experience for an otherwise great Investment app. ### 3/5 — Plaid update not good *2026-07-10, version 2026.7.6* Loved the ability to easily link all my investing accounts in the Wealthfront app. However, a recent update to their Plaid security protocol resulted in the inability to link accounts from some investment firms (i.e., T Rowe Price, Dodge & Cox). Frustrating enough to look for a new app. ### 2/5 — Invest *2026-07-01, version 2026.6.29* Use other brokerage accounts for investing. It takes 1 to 2 days to find your account after selling your stocks ### 1/5 — Inaccurate info *2026-06-08, version 2026.5.29* I’d be careful as recently I’ve noticed the information they wealthfront on my balances is inaccurate and just simple wrong ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2026-06-04, version 2026.5.29* Betterment is superior ### 1/5 — Failure of Service *2026-06-03, version 2026.5.29* I signed up after winning big, followed all the instructions. Was preparing for direct deposit of my money to only suddenly be locked out of my account with no further explanation while transfers and account links were still pending. All of this within 1 day of signing up. Terrible service. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was good until they moved to plaid *2026-08-10, version 2026.8.5* If they don't get better connections to institutions will need to go to betterment. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-08-03, version 2026.7.31* Wealthfront was recently purchased by UMB. Transfers now take extensive periods of time and tracking your money is a problem because they bundle charges and hold your incoming cash for days to over a week. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Bad app they steal your money and close your account *2026-07-31, version 2026.7.24* They closed my account over night after I just had funded it and now they are saying they don’t know why it’s been closed and they don’t know when the funds will be cleared ### 1/5 — They’ll steal your money *2026-07-18, version 2026.7.10* They “detected fraud” on my account and turned off my debit card out of nowhere- no suspicious transactions, no evidence of this and they didn’t even notify me. I just had to call them to find that out and now I’m locked out of my money and I’m wondering if I’ll ever get it back. ### 1/5 — Please add landscape iPad support *2026-07-13, version 2026.7.6* Please add landscape iPad support. It’s ridiculous I have to use the app in small vertical mode on my iPad which I use as my laptop. ### 1/5 — “Upgrade” to using Plaid *2026-06-25, version 2026.6.19* Wealthfront recently updated their account linking process to use Plaid. Now I cannot connect my 401k, my mortgage or my external brokerage account making the entire wealth tracking useless as these are my largest accounts that have frequent changes. Plaid was introduced months ago and these issues still persist. The most frustrating part is all of these connections worked before but do not work now. Thanks for the “upgrade”. ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2026-06-22, version 2026.6.18* When I 1st created my account I was able to invest at the 4.2% apr that was advertised on tv. After the 1st month that went down to 3.8%. After the 2nd month it was down to 3.2%. I closed my account. I still see tv ads for 4.2%. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2026-06-18, version 2026.6.15* This app and its developers are thieves, I signed up and linked my external account. I did all required verification only for them to close my account a day after I funded it with $15k.. then they say they can’t accommodate my account and they can’t give me any more details. Please I need my money returned ### 1/5 — The latest update does not allow you to log in *2026-06-15, version 2026.6.5* After updating to the latest version, I am prompted to log in to the app. The login button does nothing. I don’t know what Wealthfront has broken, but the app is no longer usable. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-13, version 2026.6.5* Constantly loses connection to bank accounts. Regret signing up, should have gone with another. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-14, version 2026.8.7* I have been managing my money via Wealthfront for a few years now and I absolutely love it! I use a few savings buckets to keep my savings goals organized, enjoy monitoring/hitting net worth milestones, and find it very easy to transfer money in and out of my account. ### 5/5 — My Favorite Financial App *2026-08-10, version 2026.7.17* Super easy to use, love the interface, instant transfer with participating banks. I recommend Wealthfront to friends and family all the time. ### 5/5 — Earning more than a regular savings *2026-08-09, version 2026.8.5* I like that the annual interest is yielding more than if the money just sat in my trad savings. I like the flexible money moving options as well, i don’t feel stuck should i need to move cash around. ### 5/5 — Great service with excellent benefits *2026-08-08, version 2026.8.5* Been using the service for over three years with great rates and quick transactions when needed. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use! *2026-08-03, version 2026.7.24* Wealthfront has made it easy to get into the investing and savings world! ### 5/5 — Love the platform, but..: *2026-07-31, version 2026.7.24* Really need a memo/note feature on cash account transfers and deposit/withdrawls. ### 5/5 — Best Fintech App *2026-07-19, version 2026.7.10* The best finance app I’ve ever used. Was super skeptical at first, but after deep diving, I realized I’d give it a try. I seriously live by them now. Keep it up wealthfront! Also the best APY on the market! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-06-30, version 2026.6.19* So pretty and user friendly. Motivates you to pay debt off and see your numbers grow! ### 5/5 — This app works great and is accessible, a very nice substitute for the desktop website *2026-06-23* Very rarely do I come across apps which are built well. Most apps nowadays are just a mirror image of their desktop websites. This app is very nice, it shows you your performance history, and lets you control quite a few settings directly from the app. The only time I use the desktop website now is to get a temporary password for tax preparation purposes. Otherwise, I am exclusively on the app. This is one of the most well-thought-out apps I have ever used. Aside from a great UI, this app is one of the rareones which is fully accessible using the voiceover screen reader on iOS. I would not expect that from an investment app, since many times the disabled community is cut off from apps like this one. But, Wealthfront has taken extra steps to make their app accessible. A quick sidenote, to everyone who is rating this app down because of portfolio performance, this is not what these reviews are meant to be for. Your performance of your portfolio does not indicate usage or ease of use of the app. Please stop rating the app down because you're not getting the returns on your investments that you expected to get. Thank you! **Developer response:** Hi BabooWalji, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would be happy to look into your account and provide assistance.
