  • Latest Updates Make App Almost Unusable

    The latest UI update taking away customization of the bottom banner make the application almost unusable. There is no list of sections anymore either. App is now extremely difficult to navigate and almost impossible to trade with. Please go back to the old layout. It was much more efficient and customizable.

  • Crappy App Continues

    22May2023

    Ver 13.5.0.6: It is frustrating that Schwab totally ignores issues identified. Below problem remains (as many here have identified). It is unacceptable for the customer to need to sign out or reinstall app simply to see/edit active orders.

    Additionally, there is no consistency on bid/ask reporting - position, gain/loss, order listing, and actual order seem to randomly report different numbers. How hard can it be to utilize the same source?

    02May2023

    Ver 13.4.1.2: Problem continues with order status page. It constantly shows blank/refuses to load. Not only can a customer not see status, this is the only way to access for order change or cancellation. Having tech support say it requires deleting and reinstalling app is an unacceptable answer.

    • App Freezes

      I love banking with Charles Schwab, but mobile banking is a big priority for me when working with a bank. This app is buggy and freezes up constantly, making it unusable. It’s not just a slowness issue, literally the whole app will free all the UI will become unusable. Please bring your app up to the high standards that the rest of your services are at.

    • No quote on trade page

      The app is smooth but the new feature of the trading page - just when you are about to place your trade - doesn’t have the bid offer which means you are trading blind at the last critical moment when markets move. So you can’t adjust the trade at the last minute. You have to find out what the new bid/offer is and then change your trade price after the fact. Needs to be fixed asap.

    • Test it First

      Has anyone at Schwab used the mobile check deposit activity? You have the check exactly inside the borders and it says move closer. How close do you want me to be? When taking a picture of the back it says Flip Check no matter how the check is oriented. It also takes the picture as soon as it says Flip Check. Make up your mind. Test this stuff and make certain it is easy to use and not confusing.

    • Discrimination

      It should be a hate crime for you to update your app and not make it back compatible with outdated versions of ios. LOL. Seriously though. When I open the App it says to update. When I click update it says its already installed. So I click open and it says to update. Update says it’s already installed. Can y’all get it together?

    • Asking to update app

      This is preety stupid but the application keeps on asking me to update it. When i go to the app store to click update, i find that the app is already up to date. This jas been going on for few weeks now. For some reason it keeps on asking me to update app but app in app store doesn’t show an available update.

      I can’t even login. Even after a reinstall. Totally broken.
      In this day and age and from a company with this much capital, I expect far more. I also have been expecting a complete refresh for years now. Maybe this is just a sign to find a new platform.

      Well, now you can’t even refresh your portfolio without force quitting the app and restarting. It’s incredible how every iteration of this app is worse than the one before it.

    • Hate the UI and wish I could still use the TDAmeritrade app

      I used to have a TDAmeritrade account, but Schwab bought the company and my holdings were transferred to Schwab at the beginning of 2023.

      I hate the Schwab app — it isn’t user friendly and it lacks a lot of features that were found in the TDAmeritrade app.

    • Good but complicated

      Overall I have nothing but good experience with Schwab in both banking and trading. Just that the last update seems to when buying or selling stocks it is more complicated. You have to do extra work to execute orders and trying to find out how much cash you have to make. Trade. Developers please make ordering or selling stocks simple and less steps.
