US commission-free stock, options and crypto trading app.
I really like how quick and frictionless Robinhood makes buying stocks, options and a bit of crypto all in one app. Commission-free trading keeps my costs down on small positions. The one thing holding it back is the research and charting, which feels basic compared to what I'd want for deeper analysis.
Fast, free trades across asset types
Limited research and charting
Robinhood gets the core experience right: opening the app, checking my portfolio and placing a commission-free trade is genuinely a joy compared to clunkier brokers. The crypto and options access in the same place is a big plus, and recurring investments keep me consistent. It's become my daily driver for the markets.
Robinhood is the reason I started investing at all. Buying fractional shares with no commission meant I could start with small amounts, and the interface is so clean that placing a trade takes seconds. Setting up recurring buys into a few stocks and an ETF has been completely effortless. For a beginner it's been fantastic.

Robinhood is great for quick, commission-free trades and the app design is best in class. At the same time, I've had a couple of order executions fill at prices I wasn't thrilled with, and customer support is mostly self-service. I keep using it for convenience but hold my longer-term holdings at a more full-featured broker.
Easy to use, no commissions
Execution and support leave me cautious
Beautiful interface, free trades, crypto and options in one app
Commission-free, fractional shares, beginner-friendly
I've used Robinhood for commission-free trading for a while, but during a big market swing the app lagged badly and I couldn't close a position when I wanted to. For a platform built around fast, free trades, having it stall at the worst possible moment is a real problem. The zero commissions don't mean much if I can't act on time.
No commissions
App unreliable during high volatility
