Too bad they don't have a web platform or any research capability. I'd rather use a computer than a phone or tablet.

And keep i mind, they don't have international stock markets.
Yea its pretty bare bones on the research and indicator front. But hey it's free. I buy a copy of Barron's newspaper and go through the stock lists and pick what I like and go to Nasdaq and study they're balance sheets and income statements. I've been investing in emerging markets through etfs and so far they've been profitable albeit a little risky.

i'm currently using Stash app but i'm thinking about switching to robinhood.
i recommend robinhood for sure.

Yeah, Robinhood is the GOAT.

Robinhood has such a smooth, easy to understand UI, although I wish they did more to advertise the ability to place limit orders. That's a feature I just happened to stumble on accidentally via a blog and probably would never have known was there otherwise. Still, Robinhood is the perfect tool for young investors who need to learn the ropes as it walks you through a lot of things.

I stared off using Stockpile until I got put onto Robinhood a little while after. I was mad at myself for not doing my researching thoroughly enough beforehand because I jumped right in using, bought a bunch of shares and had to pay a fee each time. However I still maintain my Stockpile portfolio.

That said, despite the fees, Stockpile is great if you're a new investor looking to get a feel for the market. It allowed me to grab fractional shares of companies like Amazon and Google that I couldn't even remotely afford to buy whole. It's a great opportunity for those just looking to test the waters.

Bump..

My friend put me on to this app, looking to see how I can make some money from it.

Have you been using it? It's a pretty straightforward trading app. How much do you (or did you) plan to put in? If you're looking to make fast money then RH isn't for you, although if that's the case, stock trading probably isn't for you altogether unless you have a few solid dudes on the inside. Then again, idk your experience level or goals. RH is a good tool for investors who plan to go long though.
