E*TRADE: Invest. Trade. Save. for Positive User Reviews

Novice userInitially I opened this E*TRADE account so that my high school child and I could both learn investing strategies together with small amounts of money. We did an initial seed money matching for him and we both really have learned quite a bit. We enjoy the Bloomberg and other news updates related to our portfolios. The folks that we’ve called if we ever needed help have been friendly knowledgeable and prompt. Only one other group has service like this (that I’ve been exposed to) and it is on par with TIAA CREF (my 403B). My wife has a different 401(k) manager and I wish I could use E*TRADE as they are not very helpful! We are now using E*TRADE for our IRAs and getting more involved in our individual brokerage accounts now that we’re more comfortable with the process. The trades go through quickly and we get confirmation emails that let us know when it’s occurred. We’ve been been very happy..Version: 10.4.3

Just two things missingIt’s a great brokerage app. It checks all the boxes and is a pleasure to use. I’m a big sucker for UI candy (why does an investment app need to look old-school?) so I appreciate the strides E*TRADE has made in recent years and look forward to slicker and slicker interactions on trades as they continue to develop. For me, one thing I’d love to see is the option to select a portfolio to track with the widget. Right now you’re limited to individual stocks. It would be awesome to see % or $ gains or losses for a selected portfolio/account without needing to open the app & authenticate every time. Hope to see this in a future release! The second thing is instant deposits. Some newer brokerages credit your account instantly when you move money in, then place a hold on your assets (can’t withdraw the same balance) until the transfer clears. With E*TRADE you can’t use your funds until the ACH deposit clears. So if you want to buy a dip, you’ll want to make sure you have some cash reserve in your account, lest you miss a buying opportunity..Version: 10.5

Best PlatformI was a beginner into retirement, having no time for such things. Well after cashing up my new account. I was trading within minutes. The knowledge and teaching practices are a beginners dream. And full a throttle platform for the long timers. It is a well rounded platform that means business and carries business out quickly and professionally. They teach risk and protections and weave it in to successful trading for you. And the fact I didn’t think I had time, well I was wrong. I could have traded years ago and retired earlier. 43years in heavy construction for one company. Life decisions is what we do this platform would have made me very wealthy. Don’t let your mind talk you into short paths that don’t pay. Flourish and make good for you and your family’s. Thanks E*Trade..Version: 10.7

Love Etrade!I cannot recall why I chose Etrade when I started my ROTH IRA in 2018, but I’m glad I did! I’ve always enjoyed the application and never experienced any glitches or outages really. The depositing system runs smoothly. I’m happy they removed fees for mutual funds since they make for the majority of my portfolios. The whole early selling fee never made much sense to me. I recently opened a premium savings account for the sweet rate of 3.5%. I realize this won’t be sustainable for a lengthy period. It’ll likely end once feds stabilize inflation, lower rates, and the U.S. bond yields decline. Our credit union only gave us .5% so naturally we moved all of our savings to Etrade. I’m currently accumulating a monthly dividend of $25 and I love it! Other banks are starting to approach 4% now, so I’m hoping Etrade will increase their rates in the near future. I never had a need to use their customer service until recently and each rep that I spoke with did a fantastic job. 10/10 for customer service. I never hesitate to recommend Etrade to friends and family. If I could suggest one change to the brokerage, I would love to see fractional shares be implemented. If I can accumulate fractional shares via dividends, I should be able to purchase them as well. The balancing of my portfolio would be easier since I wouldn’t be obligated to by an entire share of an ETF at once..Version: 12.9.2

Problem with tax lotsWhy can’t I select tax lots to sell from my phone. It keeps telling me I have to do that from the website but that was not the case a couple of months ago. I will have to change platforms if I can’t do this. I’m on the road way too often and I am a trader, not just investor. It’s useless if I can only sell from my phone on a “first in first out” basis. Please help! I never had this issue until recently! Update... so I was told I could select lots on my computer and execute from my phone. That is useless! If I was able to be at my computer it wouldn’t be an issue. Thanks for the nonsense response! The thing is, I used to be able to select lots from my phone and now can’t. Fix it or I’m gone! The app is now worthless! New update: I finally got help and there was a fix. I’m now working like a champ again. Yes, there are little bugs, especially after hours, that need fixed. But face it, there aren’t any with no issues. I’m sticking around and I was one foot out the door. Thanks for the help! It was slow but it worked..Version: 10.2.1

Great app!I’m able to see my balances, check stock prices, complete all the transactions I need to, etc....Version: 9.4.4

Really???UPDATE: I finally rebooted my iPhone and the download worked. No problems with the app. I don’t really see any difference in the newsy app vs the older version. I also changed my rating. So I went to open the app on my iPhone an hour ago. I received a message that a new update is available with new features everyone must use. I have the choice to exit or update. First I exit and try again, I was just wanting to simply check my balance while away from home, hoping it would let me open it this time. But, no! It wants me to update or exit again. So I hit update this time. The result...it won’t download the update. After a half hour, I cancel the download and try again. After several repeated attempts, I decided maybe I need to delete the app off my phone and download from scratch!! NOPE!! So now I have deleted the app off my phone and cannot download the “New Improved” app! Thank you Etrade, since I do a lot of my trading remotely from my phone!! MEH!! Oh! And I see the new version had been out for about a week and it still has issues, but I am forced to downloading a non-working app that I can’t download. <<Eyes rolling>>.Version: 10.7

Excellent best of any online broker.Truly excellent functionality. Everything has really been thought through in the design of the app from beginning to end. Far superior to any other online broker I’ve used..Version: 10.1.1

Love E*Trade, Please Add this Feature!I’ve been an E*Trade user for 5 years and I’ve seen vast improvements in their business philosophy and how they treat their customers over that time period. They’ve removed essentially all fees related to trading just like the rest of the investment firms. Anytime I have had an issue, I have been able to call them and have it resolved within a few minutes. I’ve been pleased with their online banking and utilize it as my primary account. You might think it’s a pain not having a dedicated bank with an ATM, but when E*Trade refunds you any ATM fees charged to your account, any ATM is your ATM. My one request is that you add in a feature to the App that is on the website. I would like a tab to view my Dividend Income or my forecasted dividend income for the next 12 months. I know there are a lot of Investors out there that our primary focus is building a portfolio with exponential dividend income. The ability to view it in the App would make it so much easier and remove the hassle of having to view it on a separate computer platform. I’m happy to be an E*Trade Customer and look forward to being a lifelong user of the platform they offer! Keep up the great work and I hope to see new features added to the App in the future!.Version: 10.4.1

Thanks E-TradeI have had an Etrade account since 2013 & love the sight. Developers designed a easily navigable website, and the company does a great job of giving you all the material for you to learn as you go or jump into the deep end and form a business. I greatly enjoy the prospectuses provided and the keen info related to alerts and messages. I enjoy being able to set my own lows and highs for purchases and portfolio decisions. By the end of my first year I managed a fourteen percent profit in my stock investments and only keep increasing the profits while negating the risk. Thank to their customer support for their assistance in providing detailed information on my account activities and answers to all the questions and concerns I have. Keep moving forward with supporting the market process and providing an option for the “wanna be trader”!.Version: 13.3.1

A nice app! Would love to see a few improvementsFirst off, I’m a huge fan of ETrade. I think their customer service is second to none and I really enjoy using their desktop trading platform. Recently I’ve been using their mobile app more for trading. Overall it feels like a good start but I think some improvements are needed. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Stock charts need to be formatted better for mobile. It would also be nice if you could see a real time graph with one click of the ticker symbol. 2. When you click on an account from the main screen it would be nice to see the stocks you hold right away instead of having to click ‘portfolio’ 3. I haven’t found a easy way to do options trades with the app. If this is supported it should be clearer to the user. 4. It would be nice to see your watch list on the main screen of the app or if it was more accessible in general. In general, I would suggest that the development team really look at the Robinhood mobile app and take some queues from it. It feels like there is too much clutter on the ETrade app and a little thoughtful simplification would go a long long way. Keep up the good work. I really do enjoy ETrade’s service and plan to keep using them as long as improvements continue to happen..Version: 10.6

I’m used to it nowI did a little with stocks and options on Robinhood, which gave me a taste of the market. Even though I lost more than I gained, I realized the potential of going directly into the American (and global) economy by direct market participation. Then, after reading Charles Payne’s (Fox Business News Channel Personality) book, Unstoppable Prosperity, I transferred my little nest egg from a lackluster middleman financial advisor to E*TRADE where I was free to work with my little nest egg on my own. After getting used to navigating the E*TRADE platform, I can find my way around enough to do what I need to do. Based on limited experience, I still feel encouraged to say that E*Trade is a good platform from which to work. Would I recommend it? If you practice with navigating the app and/or the website, you’ll catch on and go from there, so yeah, if you’re willing to try, to that end I would recommend it. It would help to learn a little market jargon. I use the phone app almost exclusively..Version: 10.7

Great !I've been waiting for this app for two years to appear on the UK store as it was only available on the US store at the time, Now I can check my stocks and monitor them..Version: 3.7.2

Missing features from websiteUnable to complete some processes with app (such as confirming test deposits to authorize new account). No clear direction on app & could only complete via web. Makes no sense why this isn’t included. Also needs a thumb print access option to log in. Update: it’s like they didn’t read the comment at all... I want the thumb print enabled but there’s no where to turn on this option in the settings. I’ve looked. If you’re aware of where this can be done and could direct me, THAT would be helpful. Making it easy to find/change in the app settings would also be lovey. And as far as verifying the account, I’ve already done that. The issue was that it could NOT be completed in the app and you’re not told that anywhere. The instructions state to navigate to a particular location and then when you go there on the app, said location LITERALLY does not exist. It wasn’t until I accessed my account on a laptop that the option became available. Not having this accessible on the app and zero direction on where to find it is a problem. The whole process to sign up and activate my account took entirely too long (about a week) and this delay caused me to miss out on purchasing stocks anywhere near the original price point that drew me in. By the time everything was finalized, the stock was up about 35%. Frustrating..Version: 10.3.1

New app is niceThe old app was my favorite financial app! The new app has more features, but I like the look and simplicity of the previous one. I applaud the advanced options of the new, however the font and icons are thin and light, with no contrast or borders of separation. I also prefer having more options on the main page - you used to be able to transfer money directly from the homepage and see the markets. Now there are several clicks and different tabs. The portfolio page is buggy and sensitive. Since things have been moved around, there are now multiple clicks which is inconvenient. What’s improved - is you can view and sell individual tax lots and fractional shares from the app which you couldn’t do before. Overall, I give it a 4 because of the increased capabilities on the portfolio and order page..Version: 10.2.1

Let’s be honestSo far E*TRADE trade has been good to me the only hiccup that I have is when I try to transfer money into the account and it takes three days I feel like that’s unnecessary if you have a tray that needs to be bought right now.. you’re missing opportunities but I also can see that at any one time you should have money in your account regardless. Just in case you see a opportunity so you won’t have to transfer money from your bank to E*TRADE so to fix that problem just always have money on e trade, but I heard Robin Hood is better but I haven’t had the opportunity to use RobinHood. They won’t approve my account..And to be honest am new to stock trading and a beginner but I’m a real quick learner..So I wouldn’t recommend E*TRADE for beginners it just work with me because I’m quick to learning things.. so that being said in my opinion E*TRADE is a good brokerage but for somebody that’s new just open a RobinHood account...Version: 10.4.3

Awesome app.Can’t miss to check this app every single day!!!!.Version: 8.4.1

Good update.Good update..Version: 10.0.0

It’s getting better but not sure yetI use this app every day, all day long. Now that I’m used to it I find that it’s user friendly and very easy to use to read their analyst research, as well as for buying and selling stocks. It loses a star because they removed the option to choose whether or not you want to see extended hours trades. I liked the ability to see how my portfolios ended the day vs. the major indices, but now I can’t when using the mobile app. I deducted another star because the app would freeze or crash at least once every day. At one point this week I couldn’t even log in for a couple of days. I deleted and re-installed the app and it looks like some minor changes were made and it’s working perfectly... so far. Why it didn’t update automatically is a mystery to me..Version: 10.2.0

Unfortunate upgrade that was greatly improved...The next revision of the upgrade is much better. It keeps my watch lists in my original order allowing me to airy and see what is moving. The portfolio loads the whole portfolio instead of just 15-20 positions, saving me 30 seconds. I would like to see 3 more improvements. When I go into portfolio it defaults to standard view. I like options view.. It used to remember that and not make me change it every time. When I go into orders, it defaults to every order I ever placed.. I usually only want to see open orders. It used to remember that and not make me change it every time. A lot of time when I place an order it randomly chooses to put me back in the highest level instead of staying inside the watch list or portfolio. Or it takes me to the newest order, not the 3rd or 4th page that I was reviewing, so I need time scroll down 3 pages.. It used to remember that and not make me change it every time. Also, when I modify alerts, it takes me back into a higher level menu instead of leaving me in alerts afterwards... Still I am so much happier and changed my rating from a 1 to a 4 star app... Previous rating no longer applicable.... I used to be able to navigate rapidly between orders portfolios and watch list Now it is awkward and clumsy You copied the worst features of TD site and made the app much slower Give me the old app please Awful for me.Version: 10.2.1

Easy as Pie!I say that because E*Trade has been easier than eating pie. The problem people have with the service and the app is they don’t know how the pie is made nor do they want to learn. They just want the pie. Well it doesn’t work like that. You have to get your ingredients, mixing bowl, pie dish, oven to bake, heat to cook the pie, and last a nice dish to serve it on. Some people will understand the metaphor. The ones who leave all the bad reviews are the ones that are frustrated. Overall great experience. Money does take 3 days to transfer until available for trading, which felt like a life time as I was watch the stock I wanted go up in price. Understanding the difference between funds available for investing and funds available for withdraw is important. It does take about 8-10 days for funds to be settled and available for transfer. Have patience and enjoy the process. Stop complaining because you aren’t getting your pie immediately. That’s like putting the ingredients in the pie dish and baking it for 2 minutes and opening the oven and wondering why it’s not done yet. I’m looking forward to enjoying my own pie in the future. I’m still in the process of building my ingredient list. Can’t wait to watch it bake and rise..Version: 10.3.1
