-There's not a way to add an external account on the app, I have to go to the website in a browser to add one on but it would be way more convenient to have that option in the app. -You also can't update your account login in the app if your previous login is out of date, you'll have to that on the desktop website too. -The General Investing page doesn't list the accounts associated with it, you can see it on the browser but you can only see the count of them on the app.

Just updating my review from 2023- app is super smooth and easy to navigate, still never gives me any issues. I can easily find everything I need and I don't recall the app freezing up or crashing on me even once. 9/2023 review: I've been using Betterment's service for years, and the app is great. reflects the same experience as their web site- clean, functional, and user friendly interface, easy to find what you need.

This app is simple to use for beginners. I was expecting it to be much more difficult but the information on portfolios were easy to find & understand, thus making my choice quickly. Very efficient. My only suggestion would be, making the app have access to financial data in cryptocurrency via exchanges (like Coinbase, for instance) and having real time data access to the balance of any accounts via API KEYS generated on exchanges (again, like Coinbase for instance). Also, no way to cash out.
