Some Suggestions

I am currently trading in 7 platforms right now. SOFI is my second favorite platform. I came back today in Sofi to add more money to my IRA and noticed that some stocks that I have I am not able to buy it anymore. I can only sell it but then I realized why I can’t buy it anymore. Sofi actually trying to help me to not keep losing money to those stocks that became penny stocks and then later on do a 1 to 25 - 1 to 100 reverse split. Thank you sofi for saving me. 😁. I do have couple suggestions though since I have invested quite an amount here and trade. First suggestions: If SOFI could add a modification like modifying an order the amount or the price without cancelling it. It is a hassle to cancel and then redo the order. Maybe try a simple button or something that we can modify an order quicker without canceling? You know what I mean? 😁 I always have issues when I am trying to change and especially when the price went low and wanted to buy the stocks low or even trying to sell it as well. I ended up missing the opportunity on buying it when it is really low and then selling it when it is really high because you have to cancel the entire orders instead of just pressing something to modify it. Second suggestions: If Sofi make a way that we can name our watchlist by category etc… between the 2 suggestions I prefer the first one that I can modify my orders without canceling the entire orders. Other than that SOFI is a great platform and I like it.

This is a great app! I plan on moving my wife and I’s direct deposits here. However, I did have a couple of suggestions.

1. Please add scroll-to-top functionality for clicking at the top of the screen. 2. Separate all of the SoFi articles and such either into a separate tab or separate area. Most people want the “home” of their finance app to just be account overviews and such. Not a barrage of articles and suggestions. Also, every time the app is opened, it loads all of this stuff which is probably slowing it down a bit. 3. Add the ability to remove some of the “Accounts” at the very top of the Home tab. Such as life insurance (which I already have through my employer) and Student Loan Refi. 4. Refine the ability to create and maintain budgets. I’d even be willing to pay for this feature if it is refined enough. Monarch is able to charge $100/year for their budgeting app. By refine, I mean: a.) Add other connection options (Plaid is the main one, but doesn’t work with some providers). An example of one I’ve seen in Monarch is MX. b.) Make it so that reoccurring charges can be added/modified/maintained. Currently, they can only be recategorized. And it’s not picking up on my monthly mortgage payment from what I can tell as well as one of my utility bills. c.) Add the option to view all daily/monthly/yearly reoccurring charges at once. Currently, “reoccurring activity” only allows you to add or manage accounts. Pretty useless in my opinion as it is right now.

Easy navigation . Literally all my $ finances in one place.

I downloaded SoFi initially to check refinance rates for my car. Stayed for the awesome interface and services. I love that im able to track all my finances in one place. The value of my home, the balance on my robinhood, fidelity, and Bank of America accounts. My credit score. My credit card debts. All my reoccurring auto payments . It’s all here in one place on one screen. It’s incredible to see all your net worth all in one place. I received free money for opening an investment account with SoFi , so opened one as well, why not? Brokerage interface is easy to use as well. Unlike robinhood , it has a very “social media” vibe. You can add friends just like on Facebook and follow what trades they make and what positions they hold in their portfolios. There’s updated news/articles/ educational material regarding anything you’re interested in. This doesn’t feel like a banking app, it’s truly addictive like a social media app. I haven’t opened a checking or savings account with SoFi yet. It says they’re offering 1.25% apy for these accounts if you direct deposit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any bank with that rate. I need to look more into it if there’s fine print , but it’s definitely where I’d rather park ny savings money instead of collecting dust at Bank of America . Overall a fun app. Can’t wait to see what other features get added on.
