Grifin: Stock Where You Shop‪™‬ 4+

I really want to like this app but it's just too buggy. For at least the last several days, the transactions view is not working nor is the link to view the purchases included in your upcoming bank transfer. It's unclear how much in your cash fund is earmarked for stocks vs. how much you can use to buy more of the stocks you already own. (As others have pointed out, you can't buy any stock you don't initially acquire through patronizing that business.) When the transactions view is working, you can see how $1 for each purchase you've made will be allocated—to a stock or to your cash fund. Some transactions that should go towards stock do not. For example, my monthly payment of my AT&T bill has yet to yield me any AT&T stock. I have noted this in the app but it's never been corrected. I hope the developers are working on improving this app. I'll keep using it, but it just feels like it's not ready for prime time.

Thanks for sharing your feedback in such detail. Apologies for the bugs! We're currently working on a new version of the app (Grifin 2.0) which will launch later this year and correct many of the bugs you faced last year.

I’ve been using this app for several years now and I’ve never had any issues. In fact, I am making money buying shares from companies I buy products and services from on a daily basis. Actually Griffin does the work for me, all I do is spend money and they take one dollar ($1) and invest it by purchasing shares of that specific company on my behalf. And that is awesome!!! Griffin provides a super easy way to understand the fluctuations of the stock values (up or down) and which companies are the top performers. You can also buy additional shares by using available cash or by transferring money from any of your linked bank accounts. Also If you need assistance, Griffin customer service team answers you right away via email. At least that’s how I’ve reached out to the them in the past and I have received assistance/solutions right away. I cannot suggest this app enough. I highly recommend it to any age group. It’s never to early to start buying and owning shares. Thank you to the Griffin team for developing this app.

I've been using Griffin for a bit now and I think it is very ease of access especially if you don't have time I do think the FAQs could be more broad because I had a lot of questions at first and my first experience was through reels that got me to it! The customer support is the saving grace at the moment if you have any questions, all of the staff that support the app are very knowledgeable on the things you can do with the app you may not be aware of. They also give recommendations on how you can maximize your savings, and set you on the right path and let it seamlessly do its job as you just buy your stuff! Like I was a beginner had no idea I was doing and they are the reason I stayed and I would will continue to see where investments go for myself! Hope more people will try it and don't be afraid to ask questions if they can't find it in the FAQs, they give you realistic advice for the future and help you access more of the app as well! Thank you again guys!
