1. 4/5Update not as functional.

   One of the things I use on the app is the ability to look at my holdings on my IRA accounts, click on a stock and get a detailed report showing my cost basis, value, gain or loss, and transaction history. I used to get the information on my iPad, but an upgrade on the iPad app caused that to fail. I did not get too upset because I could access the information on my phone. Now, with yesterday’s update, my phone does not access that page. My phone and iPad both are running the latest iOS. Please fix this quickly! Edit: Another thing I dislike about the app is that it is not very useful for monitoring my trading. Once I place an order, I cannot monitor to see if it is executed and at what price—especially on limit orders. I am forced to use the website to get complete information.

2. 1/5Absolutely amazed at the lack of customer care regarding my paycheck

   I signed up for a new account and got my card in the mail. I reluctantly decided to trust this bank with my direct deposit payroll and when it came time to get paid there was a restriction put on my account without notifying me therefore I did not get paid. And when I called in they said there’s nothing they can do, and said I’d have to wait. I requested to speak to someone immediately seeing as they have 24/7 customer service but I came to the realization that was a lie. And I would have to wait until Monday. Closed my account immediately as I will not do business with people who show a complete lack of care about their customers getting their money they worked hard for on time. So I will highly recommend you stay away from this institution and not trust them with your money. I learned that the hard way. Oh also their check deposit feature never worked on my app either and I got charged $50 from another bank for a failed transfer so this has cost me greatly and yet I never received the service I came here for. Stay away you’ll never see your money again. And be left high and dry. Interestingly I also have 300,000 Instagram followers and I’ve made a post about my issues with Tiaa. Im sure that should help prevent this issue from happening again to others.

3. 3/5Meh

   The app is serviceable, and I appreciate that, but it’s not well designed. For example, the reminder about widgets comes up every time I log in. How many times do I have to choose “I understand” before it let’s me bypass it—or at least let’s me choose “Don’t show this again”? There’s a button saying you’d like feedback, but the only option is to dismiss (even though the button stays when I do that). I had to go through the app store to provide feedback. Given such problems, I use it only if I want quick, simple info, and use the website (which also has some design problems) for everything else. Of course, if spending money on redesign would be at the expense of personal client service (which is terrific) or returns on investments, living with the design problems might be preferable. Still, those problems may make it less likely that tech-savvy clients will put or leave funds in TIAA than in competitors with better app and website design.

4. 2/5Limited Usage App

   I find this app to be surprisingly limited the amount of information it provides. I I have had extensive experience using the Fidelity mobile app both for workplace benefits, as well as the normal Fidelity app and find this app lacking in comparison. A simple screen to indicate to me how much I have contributed versus how much my investments have grown from inception to date, year to date, and one year. Seems to me to be table stakes. This app does not provide all of that information, and in order to find the stuff it does it requires lots of patience and clicking links. I am still puzzled as to how my investments are performing and have performed since inception. This app just doesn’t do it for me. Also, and this may be an issue with my employer, but I simply want to change the amount of contribution and am unable to do so through the app. All in all, I find this to be a very basic and not super useful app. It does make me wonder why someone would make it so hard to see performance metrics.

5. 1/5Goal feature tricks you into annuity

   Beware of the “Goal” feature. You may think you’re just viewing a suggested change in investment strategy to reach a goal, but are actually agreeing to transfer funds. With one click to exit an “informational” page you can make a total transfer of all your investments. One of the auto purchases, which reeks of fraud, is an irrevocable TIAA annuity. The annuity is particularly galling because there is no disclosure of terms, no informed consent. One click and all your funds are moved and you’re left cleaning up the mess and living with the long-term consequences. TIAA should remove the “Goal” feature, remove the ability to transfer funds on what appears to be an informational page, or provide more disclosure so the customer has fully informed consent. The fact that they are locking you into one of their own highly profitable products for a lifetime makes this problem legally dubious. I’ve filed a complaint to annul the annuity I was tricked into but it hasn’t been resolved. Beware of this app
