I have been a member for a few years now with mostly a positive experience overall. However, my biggest negative is when it comes to adding a beneficiary to my account in the case of my passing they don't make it easy to find I think I came across it once in my also 5 yrs with M1 and that was a Google search I don't think you can do it from the app and I think you have to submit something physical either way it's not very streamlined or user friendly for such an important thing.

I have been using this app for about a month now and have been thoroughly enjoying it. As a complete novice to investing, their tools were super helpful in making everything super streamlined and easy to understand. I was notified by the app of the $3 fee I will be charged starting next month which is a downside but is worth it for the services provided and similar in price for other apps like it. I also prefer being charged per month instead of per trade for simplicity. Very happy so far!

don't use this app if your just starting. They charge you for accounts under $10k. They way their allocation feature works. It will add to lovers and not add to winners. Use robinhood or another platform. edit: To respond to M1's response. Its pointless forwarding this information to where ever its needed. I have been emailing support since you guys started the fees. my account well exceeds the amount to avoid fees. I'm doing so to help new investors
