    Does anyone know any good stock investment apps?

    I tried googling but all the ones listed by big-name companies(Forbes, Huffington) seem biased as when I look at the reviews for some of them, they are all terrible.

    Looking for a general all-around app, I don't care about complexity. Just make it easy for me to put a medium amount of money in and take money out with not too high of a cost(i.e. Ameritrade $9.99 per trade).

    Ameritrade or E-Trade are good.

    That's why I'm asking for a good reputable app. As long as you don't connect to any random wifi it's fine.

    Etherium, since fake currencies are all the rage at the moment and $50 on the ground floor of several of them have as much chance at giving you a good return as penny stocks

    Stash, I made like $100 from $500 in 1 year. Use link for $5. They don't pay for marketing so referring people gets the referer and the referee $5.
    You get 1 month free. After the free period its $1 per month. If you invest more than $5000 its 0.25% per year ($5000 * 0.0025 = $12.50)

    Pretty much just robinhood if you don't want to use more traditional methods like ameritrade or etrade
