I downloaded this app about a year ago and have accumulated a nice chunk of change in my investments without feeling like I was spending all of my money. I like how you can invest as little as you want on whatever timeframe works for you. I was able to set my preferences and then leave it alone and watch my balances go up. I have it automatically withdraw money from my bank account on pay days and it invests it for me, so I don’t forget. I’ve also taken advantage of the bank account they offer and put my weekly spending money on there so that as I am shopping, I’m buying stocks as well. I turned on the round up feature but they also give you minuscule amounts of stocks just for using your card. They have information available to help ensure you are diversifying your investments, too. This app is super easy for new investors or anyone who doesn’t have a lot of money to invest. I did get really excited about how I was finally able to build up money in some investments, that I downloaded another app that is supposed to be investing for stock bits but the other app was not as user friendly, in my opinion as I am still learning about investing. I recommend this app to all of my friends (and not just because of the referral bonus). Good luck on your investments!

The Stash app can be appealing for several reasons: 1. **User-Friendly Interface**: Stash is designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy for beginners to start investing. Its intuitive interface helps users navigate through their investments without feeling overwhelmed. 2. **Fractional Shares**: Stash allows you to invest in fractional shares, meaning you can start investing with as little as $5. This lowers the barrier to entry, making it accessible to more people. 3. **Educational Content**: Stash offers a wealth of educational resources, including articles, videos, and tips, to help users learn about investing and personal finance. 4. **Automated Investing**: With Stash’s auto-invest features, you can set up recurring investments, making it easier to stick to your financial goals without having to manage everything manually. 5. **Diverse Investment Options**: Stash provides a range of investment options, including stocks, ETFs, and themed portfolios. This diversity allows you to build a portfolio that aligns with your personal values and financial goals. 6. **Banking Features**: Stash also offers banking services, including a debit card that gives rewards for investing, integrating your finances in one platform. These features make the Stash app a favorite for many, especially those looking to start investing with guidance and flexibility.

I started Stash about four months ago. I didn’t deposit anything for the first month and kinda just researched the app a little bit. The first thing i love about Stash is that it’s super user friendly. It’s easy for me to navigate and it’s beautifully built. The second thing i like about it, is that you can go at your own pace, whatever that may be. This app is meant for INVESTING which means “stashing” your money away and forgetting about it. Me personally, I’ve always tried to set money back in my savings and checking account and it just seemed like nothing ever grows. With stash, I’m able to put back an amount that is comfortable for me. They have a feature called auto-stash and i turned that on. I set my limit at $10 a week, noticed it was super easy and wasn’t losing any sleep over it, so i moved it up to $30. I did $30 for a few weeks and got excited so i bumped it up to $60 a week. For me, this is the perfect flow right now. It’s been three months of consistent saving, NO withdraws, and i purchased some ETF’s and Stocks in a few companies and my stash account just hit $1,000 with $104 being a return. This is a great way for you to save a little bit of money, and letting it grow over time. I give it 5 stars for my experience. I may leave another review when i hit 5k!! 😛

Wow! I've started at the end of July and I feel very confident in this app. I've always wanted to invest. First I tried Merrill Lynch with my bank and they even called me, at first I thought I was opening just a retirement / savings account with them but they said I signed up for stocks which is very confusing since I thought it was savings. But I tried and really I couldn't understand nothing of that, I still haven't deposited anything because it's too confusing. So I researched other ways and this is when I found Stash. I started with $30 a week out my checking account then as of 2 weeks ago my only return was $2.35 and I had 4 ETFs but one seemed to not be doing so well, I know they say sell when market is low but as a beginner I don't understand all that but as it was not doing me well and the other 3 were better , I sold that one and put $10 out my stash account into the one doing extremely well. I feel very confident in my choices and as of yesterday I have a return of $4.35... In 2 weeks $2, that's amazing to me as it took me 4 months to get only $2.35. I'm still learning and I still want to open retirement and savings in stash as they offer both. I even got $5 for getting someone to sign up and it's $1 a month fee to stash :) no one can beat that! Win win!
