It was easy to set up the account and start the investing, but I removed a star because I think the interface could really use some work. I started a general investment fund but they treated it like a retirement account. I wanted to set a different withdrawal date and finally figured it out, but its not very intuitive. Also, I would love to see more stats, which stocks and bonds I'm invested in, how it does day to day, how much I've gained since inception, etc.

I was not able to setup my cash account using the App. It just keeps sending me back to linking page without an error. I had to complete it on the website. Also I could not setup two factor authentication in the app because if you need to copy the authenticator code to paste in your authenticator app, it signs you out immediately when you switch apps, meaning you cannot finish the setup. Joint cash accounts don't have checking features. So no direct deposits, debit card, etc. Only individual.

App is convenient for depositing funds and seeing investment mixes and has a nice UI, but the account links are constantly down! My cc bill hasn't updated in a year, but other accounts I have through the same bank are up to date. I haven't been able to add my new institution for months. This means none of my projections are accurate, so it renders much of the app useless to me. I really liked the projection and goals features a few years ago. Might have to go web only.

I gotta say, this app is pretty impressive. Now, I cannot say much about my experience with the investment service because I have just recently started using it. But definitely a good experience over the course of my first two weeks if you discount the mild frustration that came with getting my interest rate cut by .2 two days after I threw money into it... Oh well. Please introduce dark mode! It's basically mandatory at this point.

So far it's been very straightforward in managing my account, setting up transfers, etc. The app will show you estimated times on when transactions will be available or ready to view and there's lots of other features I have yet to utilize. This app is simply well-made and does what you need for banking, nothing more and nothing less! User interface inside the app is not too complicated and the organization is very delightful for me as a new user. Definitely recommend!

Great concept, and no mishandling of my funds yet. However, the app has two bugs I have noticed so far. 1) Negative balances in loans are shown as positive on the balance screen and 2) Sometimes when linking external accounts, the process bounces back to the login screen without any notification. Then I have to return to the home screen to see a notification that the account needs extra verification. This bug makes adding accounts somewhat tedious.

Very intuitive GUI! Info is easily accessible to help you understand where your funds are going and how they impact your overall plan. Even if you don't invest with Wealthfront, the ability to track your finances in one simple location makes the app worth it. Unfortunately, linked account update times vary depending on service. My T. Row Price connection is especially finicky. The app still provides a great overview, but be sure to cross-reference your accounts for more accuracy.

The only thing I use the mobile app for is depositing a few checks a year. In the current version, they've managed to introduce *multiple* bugs that make this very difficult. If my screen is locked to portrait mode, the app now shows the camera preview in portrait as well, which scales it down to be comically tiny. When I unlock my screen orientation, if my device ever rotates the screen at any point during the check deposit process, I have to start over from the beginning. I regret updating.

Have been using Wealthfront for a few years now and have always loved their interface. However the most recent update makes the UI worse, I preferred the previous UI. You can no longer see your deposits vs account value at a glance. Trying to see the information on the graph at the very edge of the screen causes the app to go back (swipe back on android), and my finger isn't small enough to get to the edge from the middle. The TWR & MWR have become paragraphs instead of numbers at a glance too.

I've downloaded a lot of different finance, banking, and investing apps. Most of them I always delete. This one, I'd never think of it! The ease of use and the intuitiveness is unmatched. Also, the products Wealthfront offers are great. One of the best if not the best online savings accounts. They're very transparent about the change in rates. Also, there's some great investing offers. I've yet to dive into those though. Overall, great app. Highly recommend.

I really enjoy the product and have been impressed by how many integrations they have up and running. It's been useful to track assets across a number of different accounts to get a unified picture. Only negatives: - Things occasionally go down, but are easily repaired. - I find myself checking the app just to check, which I don't think is useful or healthy - sometimes I wish there was something more actionable I could do.

*Updated* It was easy to add my accounts; including credit cards, mortgage and even my CalPERS plan. The downside is that the app can't calculate a defined benefit plan. You have to guesstimate your earnings and add as "other income." Aside from that, the app is laid out well and easy to use. Automated investing seems to work, though idk how they select stocks. Wish it had an option to manually invest. Also, adding funds should be instant with electronic transfer but takes 3-5 days.

Great to see my accounts in one place. love the net worth calculator and predictions for future retirement/spending capabilities. only issue with the app is that it's not very easy/intuitive to renew links with external accounts. I wish I didn't have to renew as frequently, but I understand the security aspect of it. the app can do better in the renewing process. Right now it's unclear that you have to click renew and prompt the text and then exit and click renew again to enter the texted code.

The user interface of the app is very intuitive, and they make setting up different accounts and connecting them to other bank accounts very simple and streamlined. I love how I can see how much I'll save in a few decades with their algorithm. Very well-designed and easy to use. However, the app does not update my mortgage and a certain bank account that I closed a while ago, so it'd be great to see that improvement. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking into robo-investing!

The app is amazing, and the UI is clean and clutter free. I haven't had any problems transferring my money through different accounts or categories. My only real concern is how hard it is to find out categories exist and then figuring out how to use them. There is a little tip box about it but it's hard to spot. I only saw it after I watched a tutorial.

An extremely user-friendly app for account management. The UI is easy to navigate around. It is simple to transfer money in and out of the cash accounts and the automated smart transfer to put them in different categories helps organized your budgeting and spending needs. The money transfer, though, could be a little quicker, as it takes a few days for me to see the transferred amount on my account. An enormous benefit is the high yield savings you can use to hold your emergency cash.

I just opened my account. The application process was a breeze. I plan to use it strictly for savings and investment learning. I have been enjoying setting up the categories and reoccurring funding. I will also be setting up some investment accounts. I love the UI w/ the app and website and they appear to be very transparent. I'm fairly new to investing and Wealthfront allows lower dollar requirements to get stated. I will give 5 ⭐ after more experience with Wealthfront.

this app and account is one of the better banking apps I have used. The UI and account management are very transparent. The fees are low, the interest rate is high, and it is easy to transfer funds into and out of the accounts. Don't expect a full-service banking experience though. It is better for day to day cash and expense management as compared to a central hub for all your banking needs.

It's setup is really easy and helpful. Something that caught me off guard was that the transfers take a day or two to be finalized and accounts updated, but at first I want sure if it had bugged out or calculated incorrectly. Just make sure that if you've never done this before, you're patient and wait a day or two after every move you make to let the numbers fully update. Otherwise, it's been a great way to get into investing.

some of the account links dont work and it can take a long time or never getting updated to work. you can do manual, but having it automated is much better. Need to have a high balance to get digital checking. I do use it for a checking account, which is much better than standard bank checking. The debit card is nice.
