Initially when the oftware was first introduced, all I knew how to do was to submit my email and password to access my account. In time the capability to log in via pin number was added, this feature made accessing my account much easier and simpler. > > **Cons**: I have to say that I am not pleased witht the fact that as soon as I open the app, before I even have an opportunity to submit my pin number, an ad for an additional service of a variety of different sorts will pop up. I react so quickly that I honestly have very little time to even observe the ad especially if I am on the go, thus missing an opportunity to preview the ad. I think they should reconsider this action. Furthermore, before I am able to preview my account details, and ad or 2 pops up. I like being informed, but I believe these items should go under aa notification tab. ----- ### "ACORNS REVIEW" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I just love this product. It's so easy to save and the money adds up way faster than one can expect. You don't have to even think about saving. > > **Cons**: I cancelled Acorns once because I was transferring things over to a new account....but it continued to pull from my account. It was a bit frustrating to stop it from pulling my account. > > It has been great. I love that it allows me to decide how aggressively I want to invest. And it basically just invests your change. ----- ### "Avoid this App - Terrible customer service - they blocked my account access for over 10 days now" — 1.0/5 > **Casey** | *01 June 2023* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use but limited, affordable fees. > > **Cons**: 1) there is no way to have a trust as contingent beneficiary2) if you have a technical issue every time you communicate with a representative it is a different person that responds and they font review the prior notes/communications which causes confusion and days go by between their responses. 3) They have had me locked out of my account for over 10 days now with zero access to view my funds because they cant seem to read their own notes, or listen on the phone, to realize their mistake. This company has over $80,000 of my money. I tried to switch my linked bank account to one of my business accounts, they LOCKED my account and wanted extra confidential bank and other documents emailed to them, outside of their app, to an unknown email which i was uncomfortable with. So I told them to cancel the request to switch the linked account and just keep things as they always were and UNLOCK my account immediately. I was told it would take FOUR days to unlock the account. It has been over 10 days now, STILL locked out of my account. No matter how many times i repeat myself I keep getting form response emails from them from different representatives still asking to get confidential documents to switch my linked account. And these people have access to FIVE of my bank accounts already. ----- ### "Acorns Honest Review" — 5.0/5 > **Mackenzie** | *15 January 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can set it and then forget about it, meanwhile it's getting you money > > **Cons**: There is nothing that I did not like about Acorns > > Awesome, ease of use and knowing my money is being invested ----- ### "This Is a Phenomenal Way For Beginners to Learn & Invest\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ashlee** | *28 July 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think the way they have simplified investing into a shorter, more condensed, and easier process is phenomenal on many levels. One major barrier that stops many people from pursuing investment opportunities is a lack of understanding of the risks and benefits. They also offer a comprehensive library of knowledge where you can learn about various investment strategies, tips for growing your money, how to save properly, and more\! > > **Cons**: You may be required to pay more hefty fees for smaller balances. > > Acorns is one of my favorite beginner investment apps due to the option it gives you to make smaller investments, which are easier to commit to when you're just starting out and want to see how things turn out with much less risk than traditional-sized investments. You can even choose to simply invest the spare change after every purchase you make through Round-Ups. It can be an incredible learning tool with high-quality information that's easy to understand and digest. The app is very motivating to use and rewards you along the way with deals from thousands of exclusive brands. With the premium option, you get access to the children's program, which can help you educate your kids early on the importance of growing their money. It provides them with their very own GoHenry card, allowing you to monitor their accounts and set spending limits if needed. You cannot go wrong with Acorns, especially since it's been backed by celebrities like \[sensitive content hidden\] If you've always wanted to get into investing but didn't know how, I encourage you to download this app\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047232/acorns?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047232/acorns) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
